Oh that'll bring Amazon to it's knees. (Rolls eyes). I'm sure that Jess Bezos is off crying into his piles of million dollar bills over this whole situation. I don't dispute that the wages and working conditions at Amazon are probably unfair and terrible - I used to work in a medical warehouse and it was not very pleasant. But - I still got a paycheck and health insurance and was able to afford the necessities of life. Never felt a need to kick my employer in the teeth or demand pay equal to the CEO of the company. Because I know full well that is not going to happen and that's the nature of our capitalistic society, some people will always have a greater slice of the pie. Meanwhile I ain't complainin, I got mine.
Wow, never thought I'd see someone literally say "fuck you, got mine".
It's a line from the comic "Hagar the Horrible," what are life's best 3 little words? "I got mine." Words to live by. I'm not saying you shouldn't kick against the system once in a while, just to rock the boat a little, but that people should be more grateful for what they do have. I've been to poverty-laden islands where people live in old cardboard boxes with a mattress and six kids. As a rule.
You just don't realize how good we have it here, even if it means we have to work hard sometimes and get up early and spend five days a work working for someone else. That's an opportunity millions of other humans can only dream of having.
And this selfish, self-centered, thinking is exactly why everyone is fucked, including my gene entire pool and yours. But hey, you “got yours”.
This “capitalistic society” is and always has been unsustainable. Any elementary school student can look at the system and say, “how can something grow forever? That doesn’t make sense”. And you explain, “it can’t, but there is something that grows forever in nature; it’s called cancer. And it kills the organism.”
