Yeah teachers are like the stereotypical ā€œunderpaid jobā€ in the US. Basically everyone agrees they need to be paid more. anyway lets get rid of the department of education

In Romania is slightly like that except that teachers are paid 1.5x more than cashiers

There’s also like a hugely threatening teacher’s syndicate that keeps demanding higher payment, so there’s also that.

At my high school, I remember that for some days at certain periods teachers wouldn’t be allowed to teach so we stood 1-2 hours doing nothing twice for two weeks when there was a strike. This happened for 10th grade and then it got worse in 11th grade to the point schools shutdown and made us enter the summer vacation a month early which is HUGE.

USA and syndicalism

Hope I’m not confusing the term. In Romania syndicalism and unionism are the same thing

We don’t use either term commonly in the US. When we talk about it we would say things labor, organized labor, labor movement (s), or unions.

I’ve been playing a ton of PoE 2, and my current character has gotten further into the endgame than any character from PoE 1 did which is cool. I am still very much Not Good at PoE because the learning curve for game knowledge is the most outrageous of any game I’ve ever played, but I’m learning a lot this time around. Lately I’ve learned how to answer questions like ā€œwtf just killed meā€ and ā€œhow do I not get owned instantly like that againā€

Nice. Monk? I swear all the top hardcore players are monks lol. My character is a monk too so I can’t really complain. I’m trying to gear up my ranger for some variety though.

I’m not stuck in hell per se. Like I’m sustaining t15s and rarely dying now that I understand what’s dangerous a lot more, but I feel like my progression has sort of come to a slow crawl. I don’t sell anything on the market so I am way poorer than I could be in theory, but I also don’t want to bother so I should maybe look into SSF strats for gearing
