This stupid, piece of shit country. I'm exempted by the Fair Labor Standards Act from having a right to overtime pay, and was informed today I have to work every Saturday until tax season concludes. I've already been told by other employees to expect all-nighters.
Or, you know, accounting firms could hire enough people to comfortably do all the returns instead of having to exploit the living shit out of the small pool they have. But then it wouldn't be American™!
Holy FUCK am I getting the living fucking Christ out of this country. I'd rather be lower-middle class in Europe, living humbly, with guaranteed health care and necessary social services, provided education, more vacation time, and a higher quality of life. America is a nation of down-on-their-luck billionaires who willingly present themselves as slaves. Fuck knows that if I didn't need some "capital" to ensure passage to Europe and EU citizenship down the line, I wouldn't be prostituting myself to help high-wealth individuals fuck over the government on their tax returns.
