It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

My employees were eating too many fun sized bags of chips so now I make them front the expense of buying their own tools lol

Not trying to take away from your point at all because this guy is a mega douche, but it's standard to bring your own tools to work as a mechanic. I think it's standard in most trades.

European here, if you're getting employed, it's expected that you're provided with everything necessary to work. Anything else is capitalist exploitation of the workers, and a systematic attempt to keep the impoverished poor.

The only time it's acceptable to be expected to bring your own tools is if someone is contracting you to do a specific job.

In other words, you don't need to provide the necessary tools if you're calling in a plumber to unclog your toilet, but it most certainly is if you're opening up a plumbing agency and hiring plumbers.

hiring plumbers

There's your mistake, you don't hire the plumbers, you contract them!
