Why is no one also mad at the lobbying group? They come up with ideas to thwart any improvement for us all and don’t see any ethical issues with what they are doing. Being paid to be genuinely evil is something that shouldn’t exist as a job.
Because there’s a lot of naive people who think that we can fight lobbying of big corporations by bunch of people and small business cooperation with each other.
Lol.
Imagine bunch of people trying to cooperate in lobbying vs 1 paid lawyer with unlimited budget
There HAS to be a good chunk of the population that are poor as fuck, that way rich folks can keep getting those who work for them by the balls “you fuck around and I’ll hire that person who’s dying to take your job with a lot less pay than you” . Why do you think they hate unions and UBI and other things that could make people live a bit comfortable?
Here is a good video about it
Whenever anyone tells me that capitalism leads to efficient solutions or some such BS, I point them to things like this.
Even Henry Fucking Ford knew to let his employees have disposable income. Who are these dumbfucks?
Wonder why they’re so afraid of UBI
Because if we get most of our needs met by UBI, we’d have less reason to work their horrible low paying jobs and less likely to stay a wage slave.
The richest one percent spending their money to keep everyone else poor. I’m shocked, shocked i tell you. Well, not that shocked, maybe just hungry? Eat the rich.
If we know who the billionaires are, why don’t we, like, just get rid of them? This is the easiest trolley problem.
Because that’s terrorism or something when you start talking about the brass tacks.
The switch in this trolley problem is inside a room and the door locks permanently if you use the switch.
I could tape a stick to an RC car and use that to flip it.
One thing I can say, if I had UBI, I’d try to start my own business.
I think the main reason is that if you had an UBI, you’d be way more eager to join a union, strike, or quit a shitty job. They know their fortune is built on labour exploitation, even the supposed ‘tech’ companies.
Other businesses are competition. Arguably worse than quitting that shitty job; not only aren’t you willing to work for them for a shitty job/wage, you’re making it more likely they’ll have to compete for labor and profits.
Tbh I’d just make the 10 millionth indie game company. So in reality I’d probably pull 0 labor lol
Yeah that might cut into the billionaires profits, so no UBI for you. Here’s a UTI instead.
That’s not a bad deal. Without healthcare or a steady income that’s something that’ll last a while.
This really speaks to the issue of the ultra-wealthy being more interested in power over others than satiating their own needs or desires. Pathetic on their part, like a mental illness for power, manifest through the accumulation of money.
Downvote me if you want but using ai images in an article bashing the rich is extremely hypocritical. AI is a content theft machine that takes from artist so websites like this can generate images without paying actual artist.
