I missed some of the thread, but what did we agree on regarding eating the rich? Assuming it's the entirety of the 1% and their lackys thats what 2 per 100 people so there should be plenty to go round. Slow braised brisket with saffron and sage sauce and gold leaf encrusted baby potatoes okay with everyone? We should also do some pulled pork hogies for the kids and people who turn up late.

Drone_Fragger posted:When you see the word "shareholders", you should be mentally reading that as "parasites". Not gonna lie, I looked at amazon's 5year stock performance, looked at what they've got in the works regarding warehousing and pharmacutial mergers and I think I'll be buying some stock. Might as well give myself a win win. If they crumble, good. If they go up, well good for me. I'd still applaud the warehouse worker who throws a board member off the roof.

Thanks to the China.jpg threads I don't trust a single statistic about China unless its based on measurements taken by someone with no past or present interaction with China or their government. So I assume that wage number is about a quarter of what they say it is.

Screaming Idiot posted:This is how they think. They think the poor are parasites and that there is nothing wrong with starving them, mistreating them, and exploiting them. Billionaires and their bootlicking sycophantic criminal allies are human, whether we like it or not, and to think of them as anything less than human is to absolve them of guilt. They are not the other -- they are us, human beings, and should be held to the same standard. Ok so we treat them like humans and guillotine them individually instead of shoveling them into industrial fryers? Maybe we can automate the judges and rig up some kind of conveyer system for the blades.

I guess this goes in this thread. Let's pretend for a second that I'm very dim. How do mega corps post huge profits and make payouts to shareholders and at the same time not pay any taxes? Like what's the rationale here? E: Not the legal stuff, I mean what's the rationale for the masses not rising up and curb stomping the board of directors until they make sure the company pays their fair?

Two Jehovahs and their kid knocked on my door yesterday and I tried to convince them that God was a reprehensible piece of poo poo for various reasons. One of them was honestly pretty good at trying to shut down my arguments but the other was getting real salty before they decided I was unsalvagable. I'd feel bad but 45 minutes wasting their time was 45 minutes of someone elses time saved so it's basically community service. Anyway that's my story thanks for listening.
