Reposted by Thibault DurandPelle Sunvisson @pellesunvisson.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Så här ser hela den "taskbaserade ersättningen" ut. Det finns moment som ger mer än fem kronor och en del moment kan kombineras. Vid 48 timmar nattarbete i veckan går det enligt medlemmen att få ihop lite över 5000 brutto på en vecka. Så drygt 20000 i månaden för 200 h nattarbete. 24532

Fem kronor brutto är nämligen lönen för den som flyttar en elsparkcykel från Voi till närmaste parkering. Arbetstiderna 23.00-8.00, sex nätter i veckan. Ingen OB, ingen övertid, ingen sjuklön, ingen semesterlön. Bara fem kronor brutto. 15205137

I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort 750181516388
