Just wait till HG Wells Time Machine comes true and a bunch of almost blind underground mole dwellers predate upon the idiotic surface dwellers who never think past the needs of today. Oh.
He’s a billionaire and president of some financial group. His opinion directly affects hundreds. It’s not some dickhead on the street this guy wields power. You have an opinion that doesn’t matter because you aren’t in a position of actual power. This guy is.
While I hear you my complaint mostly comes from the idea that there’s a difference between awareness and outrage porn. In my experience on lemmy (and the website formally known as the front page) the tendency has been toward the latter. If we wanted to share awareness then the focus would be on an analysis on the opinions of all the dickheads with big bank accounts rather than one-off interviews. If it were about awareness there would be suggestions of materials, yt videos, and books to read. If it were about awareness then it would be about showcasing which dickheads with big bank accounts are slightly less terrible than the others so we can rally behind them to begin to affect change
The only difference him and any central bank governor is not having enough tact to use the usual polite euphemisms. The policy itself is so old that Marx came up with a term for it (“the reserve army of labour”)
i don’t see how it’s a revolutionary idea that you work based on the wage you’re paid. i get a low wage so i do very little work. i’m trying to get anything better paid but for now i’m giving exactly as much effort as a low wage job requires.
If he said that nonsense to me in person i would obliterate him into a new dimension. You can tell he surrounds himself with “Yes men” because he is completely out of touch with reality.
This is great, but is also going to result in alot of tinfoil hat wearers claiming: “The Dems and Hunter Biden’s laptop got to him! They threatened him and his family and forced him to testify against Trump!”
They’ll say that regardless. You can’t try to manage their crazy by trying to placate them. First of all, it won’t work, because they can’t be satisfied, and second, then they’ll just move on to something more crazy that you’ll have to accommodate.
