and that’s the problem, the money ISN’T circulating, it’s being extracted from the market.
I don’t think the problem is him actually affording it, I think he’s just suffering from the mental illness that most rich people suffer from Greed.
Corporations have a legal obligation to shareholders to get them the most return possible on their investments. If CEOs sacrifice profits for better shit for their employees, they can be sued and will 99% of the time lose. There was a case in the 1980s about this exact scenario.
Is it always disdain for the rich OR the poor? Does anyone here hate both?
If you don’t hate either, I’m obviously not asking you.
If your business has more than 50 people that work 30+ hours a week for you, then you’re paying out $10,875 weekly if you are paying all of your employees minimum wage. Additionally, I’d say that if your business already has 50 people working under you, then you’re probably making enough cash to help them stay healthy with some health insurance, especially since it’s not like you’re covering 100% of the cost of it.
no and no, becuaes I need every penny to go out on vacation every year.
Nah, IRS and state boards would audit you with the quickness. They love to come after people who try to play the employee vs contractor game. The only work around for small and mid size businesses that can’t afford health care will be to just limit employees to part time hours.
I knew I shouldn’t have used that 99% taxes cheat code on Sim City for snes!
They’re being sued for monopolization too, locking out other Search Engines. Advertising rising cut throat rates, holding other corp. hostage, so not that big a deal for sympathy, rich fighting the rich.
My company employs hundreds of full-time workers, and thousands of part-time employees. The latter were once permitted to work as many hours as they pleased. After years of this, there was an outcry. Benefits for anyone working over 32 hours.
Their hours were cut back to 32. So, people got second jobs. They hired as many new people (at starting pay) as they needed to pick up the slack.
So, yeah. Don’t worry about the companies, in that regard. They’ll be a-okay :tup:.

this discussion is all a moot point. in a few decades, the entire world will be socialist. there is a fairly simple line of reasoning that goes with this: as technology gets better, more jobs get automated. this trend has only been accelerating throughout history. in a few decades, even white collar jobs that require human intelligence will start to be replaced by AIs. hell, planes fly themselves on auto pilot. wall street uses fancy computer algorithms to do their trading. so we are already in a situation where even “skilled” labor involves computers doing the heavy lifting and humans supervising. bottom line, there won’t be enough jobs to go around, so socialism is the ultimate outcome. or globalthermal nuclear war. i’m hoping for the former.
facebook doesnt provide a product?
what about a platform for communication, for sharing/storing (information, pics), for selling (there are facebook stores), entertainment (games), advertising space…

What? Why would they? It’s perfectly legal to do this.
This is a correct assessment.
But I am referring to the here and now.
More specifically, the here and now, as brought to us by “the past”.
Blue ball comes slowly.
yeah, the product is the user. his posts, likes, etc are analyzed and then the information is sold to advertisement firms.
ok let’s talk about why tech CEOs are awesome. first, they pay their employees well and make sure they are well compensated. even when they outsource, they are helping out the poor. even an outsourced guy from india is getting paid orders of magnitude more than his neighbors, so they are creating upward mobility in poverty stricken areas of the globe. second they transform the world. why is google awesome? information is power. a few decades ago, experts in their field had access to closely guarded information. google makes things a level playing field. anybody who wishes to learn can, thanks to this powerful tool. facebook? lets me keep in touch with buddies i have not seen in years who have moved away. apple? started the mobile revolution by copying ideas from other companies, but actually executing upon it (all the other mobiles phones during this time were hot garbage). so thanks to apple my phone is actually a mobile computer that has gps, play mp3s, watch videos, take videos, take pix, and can browse pr0n.
yes sure bill gates is a douchebag who yelled at employees all the time and so is steve jobs, but they’re still awesome people at the end of the day.
a few centuries ago, unless you were born into nobility, there was no way you could move up. the rise of the merchant class changed all of this. did these merchants “deserve” to be so rich? thats a philosophical question. did they earn it? yes. did a lot of them do it through illegal means? yes. those people should be thrown in jail. but many others produced products that people wanted to buy, and said people willingly forked over their money on these goods and services.
If you cry because your boss yelled at you you’re not ready for a grown-up job.
i’m surprised this is even legal
Before or after they worry about their kids getting shot for accidentally wearing the wrong colored shoes?
Property values of projects do NOT rise. They are government funded housing dude.
How have people not realized this yet?
Nobody should be yelling in a corporate setting. Managers aren’t parents and employees aren’t children who just changed the channel by accident.
