Don’t you see? Rich people create jobs! Migrants just sit around and collect money from the hard work of everyone around them!
Oh wait, it’s the opposite isn’t it…
Best I can do is spent some of the claps I have left from the generous clapping during covid.
Migrants create jobs and rich people don’t work ?
If you think any billionaire "worked" for the amount of money they have, you're sorely mistaken. It's a byproduct of a flawed economic system, not their "work ethic." Not to say capitalism doesn't have it's benefits, but it's the system in which capitalism is allowed to operate that produces inequalities like that.
Yes. Considering the net loss in population and the its aging, an influx of new people generates new consumption and opportunities for market growth, and sustains socialized systems like pensions and health care, albeit over a long period.
On the other hand, billionaires hoard disgusting fortunes like fucking dragons to the detriment of society at large. They thus deserve to be slayed, like we would dragons.
Did you know some of the original guillotines already exist?
While I would love their wealth to be redistributed, execution is something I would never support for any crime.
Ok maybe we just ask them kindly
Not what I meant. If they break the law, they should be put through the legal system and actually be treated like any criminal instead of getting special privileges. What I meant is that I am against executions in general; even mass murderers shouldn't be executed once they are in custody of the state, they should be in prison for as long as needed to keep them away from society.
You don't need to kill them, you just need to remove the money and BAM, no more billionaires, slayed the dragon.
Perfect; I am 100% with you on this one.
So the existence of billionaires is not a problem as long as they aren't criminals?
It is a problem, and their wealth needs to be redistributed regardless, but the rule of law is important. If a billionaire has done zero crimes, they should still not be allowed to keep the majority of their wealth, but they shouldn't be imprisoned if they hadn't broken the law.
It's pretty cool that the law is definitely not rigged in favor of the rich
Based and anti-death-penalty pilled
Tbh rich people do create jobs and migrants take those jobs usually
The rich can only "create jobs" because we have an economic and political system that skews reward toward investment rather than labor. Both are important, but let's not pretend that anyone can earn a billions without excessive wage theft from the people doing the actual labor.
It's just supply and demand we have very few entrepreneurs while a tone of uneducated workers, obviously they are going to get paid less, they took 0 risks investment side
Funny how the ceo couldn't assume and financial risk towards better safety measures, eh?
Like when his engineers recommended them and got shitcanned for it.
Achieving safety goals is for the poors.
I up voted you because you aren't wrong. At least in the sense of sweat shops. May not be good jobs, but they do technically count as jobs.
Not only sweat shops, if there is a little of human rights they can create pretty good working conditions and with competition salary rise up
You're kidding yourself if you think any investor would pay more than the absolutely minimum for labor. That's the issue, regulatory capture impedes labor rights and lets investors and capitalists exploit workers by doing the absolute minimum and nothing more. Any more, and another capitalist can come in and undercut and steal business.
This is why strong labor protections, efficient regulation, and competent governance is an absolute necessity to the growth and wellbeing of citizens beyond "the wealthy"
The wealthy don’t “create” anything. Consumer demand creates jobs. Workers create the products and the value.
The only thing the wealthy have is the capital, which they gain by siphoning off the excess value the laborers create.
