You could even take the job and see how hard you can half-ass it (extra points of you do literally no work) before they fire you again.

Can’t elect competent accomplished geniuses because they’re young, but can elect near-death dementia patients.

Not saying AOC’s a genius, just that there are no qualifiers where a young person can lead the generation that will have to live with their consequences.

Yep. I’m willing to make 10% less to be fully remote. Given the alternative is fewer days of sleep each year, plus many more in time spent grooming and transiting, then the cost of transport and lunch, to ultimately get less done, both at home and at work (with the same deadlines) I might even take 15-20% less.

Work/life balance is more important than money.

The masterminds are the < 0.1% capitalists who have corrupted the entire system, financed the GQP into mainstreaming fascism, and financed the Democrats into the only alternative — ineffectual neoliberal lapdogs.

Corporations are literally dictatorships where money is speech, and the structure of the entire corporate world is authoritarian — sitting right alongside fascism and the polar opposite to democracy (and worker co-ops). Never forget, Nazi Germany was a Christian Capitalist dictatorship. The 0.1%, and their corporations, were more than happy to finance and partner with Hitler, right through the Holocaust — no different to the way they’ve financed and partnered with Russia, Saudi Arabia, the CCP, and countless other authoritarian criminals, right through the genocide of the Uyghurs and Palestinians. The thing they hated most about communism was that they couldn’t buy it out, and weren’t the top dogs controlling the capital.

Trump and every corrupt politician is just a vassel of capitalism doing what capitalism does when it isn’t kept on an extremely tight leash — capital and power accumulation at any cost. After all, the only force more powerful than too-big-to-fail corporations is a government for, and by, the people.

All of these comments about CCP subsidies and flooding the market with cheap goods are hilarious, considering fossil fuels have received several trillion (with a capital T) in subsidies every year for generations, and the fact that most of the products you buy are already manufactured in China.

If we didn’t want this to happen our governments should have invested in clean tech R&D and industries decades ago, and prevented “globalization” from offshoring everything to China. This is our governments and corporations fault… They’ve already had their cake, now they want to eat it too.

I’ll take a deep pan bbq executive

“Just trust me bro” is always bullshit with capitalism. On a long emough time line for-profit orgs will always expand to double/triple/quadruple/etc dip into their customer base. It might as well be a fundamental law of economics at this point.

Unpopular opinion: if you require disenfranchised voters to stave off a fascist dictatorship then you’re already a failed state and are only kicking the can down the road.
