    Thanks for (starting to) explain this concept to people not accustomed to how the US does their shit.

    See, where i live, we used to have for example a Tax-Number. That was a thing the taxdepartment used to identify a person. But if you move from city a to city b, that numbers changes. So if you move a lot, you will have numerous of these.
    Now, some 15 years back, the Tax-ID was introduced (fellow residents at this point will lnow it might be Germany) and this number is a one-in-a-kind ID that will only be assigned to you. They create it shortly after birth. My sons first registraion ID was this, before anyrhing else. You will also get a uniqie healthcare-ID that also works like that.

    So…how does that work in the US and why is habing a changing number that is not unique helpful? Or what is Elon not getting? I dont get it either because I dont know how this works for you.

    Thanks in advance to shed light on this.

    I have a friend that lives on a farm. He told me they have had issues with rats one summer. Pest control didn’t help much.
    So, his dad catched a live rat and but it on a bbq. That poor thing must have screeched like crazy. My friend said it was hard to witness.
    The rats they had must have thought the same. Most of them left. The problem was solved.

    So, if it needed a well documented case of a anti-vaxxer having a slow and painful death, and showing it on youtube or tictoc or insta to drop the number of anti-vaxxers from 30% to even only 20%, i think, overall, society would be better off and this one humans life was well spend, saving so many after it.

    No, no /s. I dont condone violence. This is a “what if” thought experiment.

    Jeez. Rotations like that exist in “Western Countries” since what, 50 years? 60? That’s not new and the “surprise” here shows that you, dear poster, must be new to the game.

    Anyhow, where i live and work (somewhere in Germany) you get paid extra for night and extra extra if shift is during the night on a week end.

    Is that shit nice? Ok, no. Does it pay? Fuck, yes. All of my colleagues doing this since 20ish years bitch BUT have a house, two cars, fly to vacations to turkey and shit.

    Your learning?

    1. Accept, that this shit exists and will always exist.

    2. Unionize. Have companies pay you fairly for what you do.

    3. Stop whining. As long as you whine, you are a victim. Victims dont act or unionize or take things into their hands. Victims cry, roll on their tears and get fucked. THATS what companies like, cause you’re easy to deal with.
