C-level is beholden to shareholders, who would pay minimum wage if given the option.
They’d pay less than that. “Minimum wage” means “I’d pay you less, but I can’t because it’s illegal.” Hell, workers had to fight for weekends, they’d happily take that away and put kids back in factories if they could.
Please tell us more how an individual should put themselves into harms-way while you type behind your brave keyboard.
I took a brick to the knee standing up against the UK fascists that went running around doing pogroms. I’d take a million more too. What are you doing to stand up against fascism? Show up to work on time?
How’s that working out for you?
“I’m still too comfortable, I need to pay my bills” should be the summoning chant for fascism.
Thank you for proving my point, bicker and bitch while you see how much worse things get it is then. Americans like you truly deserve what’s coming, because the rest of the world is trying to scream at you but “it’s not bad enough yet.” I’ll ask again, what will it take? Where is the line that they cross when you KNOW they’re a threat to your life?
Not disgusted enough to mobilize against them though.
It’s coming and Americans are refusing to see the oncoming headlights.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, when will Americans understand this? Their political system is done, there’s no turning back at this point, it’s gone beyond the event horizon. The only question is how long will Americans continue to bicker and bitch while they see how much worse things get. You have concentration camps now, 10 days in, what will it take? Where is the line that they cross when you know they’re a threat to your life? When the soldiers are already banging your door?
What will it take, Americans? What will it take? What will it take.
I don’t have faith in any American doing anything cool at this point. Except Luigi if he’s guilty (which clearly he’s not.)
They should’ve, yet they didn’t. All this 2A stuff Americans have been hyping up for decades has really just been a pose this whole time. All a bluff, and now that the fascists are not only within their shores, but in the highest offices of power? It is a beyond imaginably fucked situation right now, even with all this controversy it doesn’t resemble a fraction of how alarmed we should all be. There needs to be a mass panic, or people need to act RIGHT NOW.
It’s so transparent, they think they’re smart like a kid giggling behind the couch during hide and seek.
The only DEI identity that’s bureaucratically clogging up America’s system is all that Russian money pumped into your politicians.
Because most supposed “centrists” don’t really have a balanced centrist opinion at all. Most “centrists” seem to believe that being politically and socially uninformed is the most reasonable and intelligent take, saying “I’m not taking sides because I’m better than that” in a literal holier-than-thou sense of superiority, basically proud of their ignorance, who ends up doing more to hate on protestors and bend over backwards for the status quo. They’re about as right-wing as it gets, just quieter and absolute absence of a spine.
People will say “I don’t need God in my life to be a good person” out one side of their mouth, while out the other say, “People need laws and the state to be a good person.” I’m an atheist just like them, I just go one god further.
The fact that you think Democrats and Republicans are two seperate competing parties is laughable. As if the Democrats did all this by mistake to give tax cuts for their corporate overlords.
You mean American citizens?
Your turn, Americans. What are you, chicken? Bokbokbogoook!
Trump and his cronies are gonna try and use social media like Hitler used the radio. He want his voice in the homes of every German American.
Capitalism isn’t, never was, and never could be about working together to maximize each other’s value. It has always, only was, and will only ever be about privatizing value, stamping a logo on other peoples work going “This is my work now.” All that “free, competitive market” bullcrap exists with or without capitalism, “better product is more popular” has nothing to do with capitalism except stifling better products for sake of capital aka profits, such as planned obsolescence, for-profit healthcare/prisons, buying cheap selling high, etc. You really think the people who invented the sail kept their IP private for the sake of profit? Or do they share that value with the world simply because everyone would benefit. What about metallurgy, leavened bread, beer? The polio vaccine? Some people worship the markets like a God that bears them miracles through human sacrifice, other atheists go one God further.
Nor have human beings and their endlessly diverse methods of trade and commerce in some rugged jungle somewhere need some white european/russian dude from the 1800s to tell them the complex philosophy of “sharing.”
