My SO works fast food. Corporate never allocates enough hours so they're perpetually understaffed, but the store manager has permission to call people in if needed. So there's a lot of "your scheduled 10-4, but at 3:30 I'm gonna ask if you'll stay to 6, or I'll call you 2 hours before your shift to see if you can come in early".

Its a lose lose, nobody gets the hours they want, manager can't retain workers, people hate being called in or asked to stay late, and the schedule is always shorthanded and mostly a suggestion. Of course nobody wants to work in that shitty mess of cost cutting and begging employees to pick up the slack that the MBAs at corporate have caused.

Oh, this is like when I was in high school and made batch files that open themselves infinitely and named them "not a virus" on the desktop, only to enjoy other students immediately running them.

Voting is the bare fucking minimum. You want more change you have to do more. Help candidates you like by volunteering your time, vote in primaries especially, and your local elections. A city council member might end up mayor, might end up senator, might end up presidential hopeful. Push for ranked choice voting, write your reps and tell them that is what you want.
