    He could give them all a livable wage and still have more money than he’ll ever be able to spend.

      Exactly. We act like treating humans as shitty as possible is the normal nature of things, but that’s just because it’s what people like bezos want.

        In their mind making these people suffer and constantly keeping them on the verge of becoming homeless is desirable because it keeps them too busy to fight for an improvement of their condition.

    No, we’re not. You “vilified” yourselves. We do think you all should die painful deaths tho and hope for it. But technically, we’re not vilifying you, that was on you.

    Nice to see them shitting their pants. But we need to do a whole lot more. Just listen to what this delusional cunt is saying. He needs to see what the world looks like through the hole of a guillotine, I bet he would understand everything immediately.

    Here’s an idea… If a company has a single worker that qualifies for government assistance, all tax exemptions are void.

      That gets dicey real quick, considering disability is government assistance, so unless you’re also wanting privatized disability care 🤫

      (because we can totally trust our employers to provide the best, most unbiased medical care to the vulnerable, yep)

        Ah see, I don’t consider Disability as government assistance like SNAP and WIC. I consider disability as part of an actual modern Universal Healthcare solution. Disability fundamentally is a healthcare issue not an employment issue, even though the crossover is pretty large because of our fucked up system.

        Your employer doesn’t have any control over your disability (unless they caused it, but that’s a different issue outside this). They shouldn’t be punished for that. But hiring employees at a wage so far below a realistic livable wage that they qualify for programs like SNAP is 100% within the company’s control. No one working a full time job should be close to qualifying for those programs.

          1.) Disability isn’t just workers comp., and assuming it’s injury-based or in-born is imprecise as well.

          2.) Allowing employers to “pay” such criminally low wages is one thing, but failing* to enforce anti-discrimination laws re: disabilities, et al, is a whole 'nother ball of shit.

          */ the system is working exactly as intended, fyi

          3.) I agree with the rest of your statements, though. 🖖🏼

    Not even close to enough. They control the media.

    They’ve taken over the government.

    The fact that we’re not Luigi-ing each and every one of these guys means we’re not doing enough of what they deserve.

    Billionaires are literally vilifying themselves. This is just being a mouthpiece for one of them.
