I’m not talking about salaried management. Of course you need those positions. I’m talking about the owner/shareholders, who do no/next to no work, and reap the profits of the company.

This isn’t about small companies with a handful of people, it’s about the ones with thousands of employees. And being a freelancer basically means not having anyone beneath you.

The whole point is about the massive amount of surplus value the employer takes off the employee. In small companies, due to a lack of machines, experience, connections in the industry and other things, there needs to be more work done for the same profit. So the employers will have to work themselves to rival other major corporations.

You shouldn’t see these type of things as a critique on the person, but on the system. You have to exploit your workers, otherwise you won’t be able to compete with the ones that do.

If you are a fair boss, and you give your employees the actual value of their work, you don’t have any to invest, and will eventually fall behind on technology. So the more someone exploits others, the more they’re able to invest in tech, therefore increasing their workers productivity, and the amount of money they can extract.

The owner of a major company has to be a major exploiter, otherwise they wouldn’t be where they are.

That’s why the problem is the system, not the person

That’s the same in German, drives me nuts

With how many native speakers still mess up your and you’re, and especially “should of” instead of should’ve, I would actually wager theyre a native speaker

But they’d be unemployed, and therefore wouldn’t have money for shit. So nice, you can starve to death with your family

My guy, if the AI did all the jobs, what are the people supposed to do?

I mean, it’d be amazing for a socialist society, but under capitalism it straight up sucks

Did musk ever manage to get grok to agree with him? I remember it being lobotomized like 5 times when it launched, but haven’t heard a lot about it since then

Honestly ads might be preferable to me over Spotify Homepage

Its kinda ironic that I actually use Linux, make projects with my soldering iron and self host lmao. I’ve switched to lemmy only a week ago, so I didn’t know about that

At least in Austria most nationwide stations have a web player and app so you don’t need a FM receiver

Not good, but I can put on a radio station that plays somewhat decent music. And I assume Spotify Homepage plays about the same shit as the basic radio stations, and I’d rather listen to someone drag a fork over a blackboard than that shit

I think Europe is at least united in a hatred for Muslims, can’t just let people exist in peace, y’know?

I honestly don’t get why someone like that doesn’t just listen to radio and saves on the subscription cost

Did he at least speak out against the system afterwards?

Because it’s one thing to be blinded by propaganda, he obviously saw how fucked up it is and quit. But did he just say it’s too much for him, or that it’s something that should never happen?

I think I’m out of the loop, who’s the guy you’re talking about?

Edit: God damnit, it’s the actor

I wanted to read up on that, because I’ve never heard it before. And apparently her original patent for landlords game ran out in 1921, and her second patent mostly covered the single tax theory playstyle, which didn’t get incorporated into monopoly, because the new patent couldn’t include things from the old one.

So while they definitely took her game, and mutilated the concept to promote the thing it was advocating against, they didn’t necessarily steal it and abuse the fact that she couldn’t afford to fight back (At least from what I’ve seen, please correct me if I’m wrong)

Like most laws about what a government official (especially the president) can and can’t do. The amount of illegal shit trump does on the daily is insane. But who will be successful in actually making him face consequences?
