So they decided to vote for the anti-union capitalist.

Oh yeah. I forget sometimes that that was the most expensive shitpost of all time.
Based. I hope they didn’t get fired.
They are 20 years old at this point but the original Guild Wars was full of pop culture references.
This was for 2023 and the job market was hot that year. If you switched jobs you probably got a double digit pay rise, and many people were doing it. That’s what drove the number.
However, the job market is kinda crashing right now in 2024. So I don’t think it’s a trend that will continue.
They were betting he’d win and just blatant cronyism and corruption would ensue.
We don’t need more small businesses. We need less corporations, less ultra wealthy and more healthy middle class. This does not solve anything and a one time tax deduction doesn’t make small businesses sustainable when they have to compete against corpos.
At least you’ll be able to protest without getting slaughtered ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Unless you’re organizing a revolution before November, you better vote against the fascists.
It’s a classic dog whistle. He knows exactly what he’s saying. He’s just disguised it to appear so stupid that no one will hold him accountable for it.
Should have just went into STEM dude /s
Meanwhile I have a body that tries to kill me when I exercise.
Yeah I had that feeling. Kinda like how everyone thought Bill Gates was a good guy before the links to Epstein.
Mmm, then they wouldn’t have had the money to buy back their shares to boost the stock price. So no, your ideas would not pass muster at a board meeting.
The problem with free markets is they are incredibly unstable and create booms and busts and people don’t like this so we get the worst of all worlds which is unfettered capitalism and no competition or failure weeding out poorly managed companies. Maybe free markets are just a shitty ideal?
In the finance world it’s called share buybacks.
There is a Seinfeld episode about this.
Obamacare really fucked up the health insurance market. Open enrollment is because of Obamacare. Obamacare was written by the insurance lobby. They created a porous law and likely already had ideas to exploit it before it passed. And they have. It has been an incredible boon to them and Americans have suffered. Healthcare was NOT this expensive before Obamacare and insurance wasn’t this complicated and was more affordable too.
Obamacare is the biggest piece of regulatory capture in our lifetime, and in a time of rampant regulatory capture, that’s saying a lot. It also showcases why our 2 party system is just broken. When the so called left option can produce such a broken capitalist piece of legislation.
It’s not really making a comment on whether they could have addressed it before it broke the camel’s back either. It’s simply saying this is the last slight I will take.
If you go through life not ever taking any bs, you definitely will not be able to hold a job. Or function in general really.
