The cancerous greed of the capitalist class is crushing the working class. The workers should fight back somehow. Maybe we should look to the past for ideas. Maybe that way the monied oppressors will remember why collective bargaining is in their best interest. The alternative is the “v” word.
Ventriloquism? Verisimilitude?

Throw them in a zoo with the kitties
Too fatty! It could kill those poor precious creatures!
Maybe we could filet them alive and just feed the kitties the good parts?
You aren’t saying how. Like there are common sense laws that can cap earnings. Like 999 million is good enough. Anything extra is dispersed amongst employees or the public.
Good luck getting that law passed.
Anyway
Forgive me for giving you a realistic out lol…
Go ahead. Try and off them. See what happens.
It seems pretty ridiculous to make some tryhard comment like, “iTs NoT pOoOsIbLe,” because obviously it’s not possible.
Did you think I would respond with “oh gosh, thank you superior person, you’ve edumakated me to the worlds”
You must be great at parties.
Wow. Like I am just talking theoretically on the same side and you insult me. You must make your parents really proud.
I was just teasing you, my guy.
Can you point me to these people that are saying the economy is all hunky dory and nothing is wrong? Because I keep seeing this as if it is being pushed, but I’ve never seen it actually being pushed.
According to Biden are doing great economically. The news keeps repeating it too. Us down here on the bottom know all bullshit. House of cards getting ready to fall.
You just repeated the empty claim. I understand that this is what you think is happening, but I’m curious as to some actual examples of it happening.
Do you not shop for necessities, or pay rent or a mortgage. Do you get gas or pay bills. Prices are out of control and pay is stagnant. Also work especially in construction has come to a stand still and it’s effecting a lot of different industries.
Well, first pay is not stagnant. Wage growth is actually outpacing inflation now. I know that’s of little comfort to those who have fallen behind and need to catch up, or haven’t benefitted from the wage growth, but you are factually incorrect here.
And you see what I did there? I made a point and then backed it up with a source.
But more importantly, this isn’t my point. The original implicit claim is that people are pushing that the economy is fine and there are no problems, and then people followed that up by saying everyone is pushing that the economy is great, explicitly Biden saying so. I’ve not seen this, and you still haven’t provided anyone actually doing so.
The problem on your chart is the giant section where inflation peaked at 9% and wage growth was under 6%.
That means a pay cut of 3%, and while inflation is reduced NOW, that doesn’t mean prices are going DOWN, they are simply going up less fast than they were when inflation was 9%.
Yes, I understand this point. Which is why I explicitly said “I know that’s of little comfort to those who have fallen behind and need to catch up.” I know that your point is always what follows, which is why I preempted it.
Additionally, I was responding to a claim that wages have stagnated. This is not true, as my link shows, even if we are more strictly talking about inflation adjusted wages. So the link doesn’t have a “problem.”
That article and you are full of shit. I don’t care how many “jobs” you create if they all pay shit wages it means nothing.
You can site all the fucking sources you want I live in reality and here in Oklahoma one cheapest states to live in people are struggling to pay rent and buy food. So fuck off with her neoliberal bull shit.
Again, this all stems from me asking for someone to back up the claim that Biden is saying the economy is perfectly fine and there are no issues.
You brought up an unrelated claim, and are now attacking me personally for pointing out that the numbers don’t back up your claim, by using your extremely limited anecdotal experience as proof.
This is some real bizzaro world shit right here.

Removed, civility.
Just moved back in with my parents last week. It sucks, but I can see the social stigma breaking down rapidly considering how many of my peers are being forced back into multi-generational housing situations. At least now I have enough money to spend on food.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Housing has become so financially burdensome in America that some families can no longer afford other essentials, including food and medical care, and have been forced to make major sacrifices, work overtime, and ask others for money so they can cover their monthly costs,” Redfin’s economics research lead, Chen Zhao, said.
Mortgage payments are close to an all-time high, and it’s no longer clear when or if the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates this year, especially after today’s hot jobs report.
From the survey, we know that millennials, baby boomers, and Gen Xers dipped into their retirement money for housing costs or skipped vacations.
It also referred to a 2022 Pew Research Center analysis that found a quarter of American adults, from 25 to 34 years old, lived in a multigenerational family household in 2021—that’s up from 9% in 1971.
And as Fortune has previously reported, moving back in with Mom and Dad is so common, it has pretty much lost its stigma—but it’s never really had a stigma outside of America; if anything, it’s the norm in several countries.
More recently, a generational trends report from the National Association of Realtors released this week revealed that 24% of younger millennials between 25 and 33 years old moved directly from a family home to their own.
The original article contains 705 words, the summary contains 217 words. Saved 69%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I’m shocked he’s not offering Poland up too…
Hold your governments accountable for the inflation they cause, making your money worth less all the time, and switch to a monetary unit that does not have human-controlled inflation, such as a cryptocurrency like Monero or Gold.
