So a billionaire is a real job now? I don't even have to imagine a billionaire being a pig, they all already are!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

But imagine them in a childrens book doing their job

That is the hard ppart

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

This is just a stock image but it's not hard to imagine it being in a children's story. Besides, Scrooge McDuck is an existing character in a children's story that is a billionaire as a duck.

But in this photo, they are throwing money, not doing their job

[–] [email protected] 2 points 55 minutes ago (1 children)

their "job" is literally none other than being rich

throwing money is part of that

the other part is swimming in a pool of money

[–] [email protected] 1 points 26 minutes ago

Swimming in a pool of and throwing money arent jobs, they are hobbies

If they dont do anything other than that, they are jobless

I could totally imagine a clothed pig sitting in front of a computer

Literally me (to be fair I'm not always clothed).

Dumb question: what is this illustration from? I recognize the art style, but can't place it.

[–] InternetCitizen2 5 points 15 hours ago

If I paid more attention in English class I could make this into an essay. Something about the "dog eat dog" nature of capitalism and the expectation that you will do it with rosy cheeks. The use of the butcher pig is an interesting take on the idiom as the harsh competition is often thought of as between faceless firms; rather than a blue collar worker. If I was a cultured pig I might have even watched the motion picture "Soylent Green" and weave it into the essay. Is the butcher aware of what goes into the grinder? Could it be that this pig is a revolutionary and is eating the rich pig?
