MrBusinessMan ,

Seems very ungrateful to the job creators and innovators that just because the economy doesnt work for you, you want to wreck it for us too. Why not try starting up your own car company instead of cutting into the profits of the hard working Ford and GM families.

User is a sarcastic concept account cosplaying as the most ridiculous pro-billionaire stooge possible šŸ˜

_cerpin_taxt_ ,

Itā€™s almost like acting like a dumbass and being a dumbass are identical to each other!

Viking_Hippie ,

To the unobservant, yes.

Not their fault that end stage capitalism and the resurgence of fascism have made the most braindead takes mainstream enough that itā€™s more difficult to spot the difference between sincere idiocy and satire šŸ¤·

Satire isnā€™t just ā€˜say a ridiculous thing and hope people donā€™t take it seriouslyā€™. Thereā€™s supposed to be an element of commentary. This guy is basically just a pro billionaire bot spitting out what they actually believe.

Viking_Hippie ,

Yeah, you clearly havenā€™t a clue what youā€™re talking about. If youā€™d had just a cursory glance at their comment history youā€™d have found such gems as ā€œABUB: Always Be Union Bustingā€ and this one:

Under capitalism I allow my workers no such thing, they must toil physically for a full work day and if I catch a whiff of complaint or dissent, I threaten them with unemployment. Not only will the trenches not dig themselves but my profits donā€™t come out of thin air. I need them to work extra hard so I can pay off my second sailing yacht (one stays in the carribean, the other in the med) this year and put a down payment on a third (south pacific).

emeralddawn45 ,

What, is this your alt or something? Youā€™re really licking this guys butthole over some mediocre ā€˜satireā€™.

_cerpin_taxt_ ,

Maybe learn to read a room?

Viking_Hippie ,

So making fun of bootlickersin a room full of people who donā€™t like bootlickers is a bad thing now?

Or are you just expecting people to be too stupid to spot the differences between playing a loathsome persona for laughs and being a loathsome person?

Cryophilia ,

Congratulations, you win the ā€œstupidest shit Iā€™ve heard all dayā€ award.

I suppose you also think Christian Bale is actually Batman?

_cerpin_taxt_ ,

Youā€™re a complete fucking moron that doesnā€™t understand the difference between satire and being a bootlicker.

Cryophilia ,

Are youā€¦acting like a dumbass orā€¦?

First I didnā€™t get that it was a joke. Then I got that it was a joke and it was an okay joke. Then I saw the joke over and over. Now Iā€™m sick of the joke and I downvote it (not that it helps).

Viking_Hippie ,

Thanks for being honest about yucking our yum, I guess šŸ¤·

Sorry, Iā€™ve just seen it in too many posts now and it is tiresome to see so many people get fooled by it every time.

Pavidus ,

Iā€™m impressed that you made it through posting that comment without drowning in bullshit. Bravo.

Cryophilia ,

Itā€™s a parody account.

_cerpin_taxt_ ,

Itā€™s a shitty parody account and we all know itā€™s your alt, weirdo.

Cryophilia ,

Stalking me? Whoā€™s the weirdo again?

Cryophilia ,

Itā€™s a parody account, you dumb fucks

Pull the sticks out of your asses for christ sake

criitz ,

He who gets his laughs by pretending to be an idiot will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that theyā€™re in good company.

Cryophilia ,

Is your autistic ass really arguing against the entire concept of satire and parody?

_cerpin_taxt_ ,

Dude we get it. Shitty ā€œsatireā€ account is your alt and shitty satire is shitty satire. Find a new hobby, because you suck at satire.

Cryophilia ,

Youā€™ve accused like 3 people of being this dudeā€™s alt

Maybe just admit you enjoy sharp sticks up your butt?

Which is fine, but keep your dysfunction to yourself.

_cerpin_taxt_ ,

When you have to point out that something is satire, itā€™s pretty dogshit satire.

Cryophilia ,

Or your audience is fuckin stupid

Uhhhh what?! Lol the car manufacturers made $32 billion in profit last year. A record amount. Are you honestly going to say thereā€™s not enough money to pay their works a livable wage? The union isnā€™t even being out of line for what they are asking for. 400,000 workers even devided across everyone equally (which isnā€™t what the are asking.) would be $80,000 a year. Thatā€™s a life changing amount of money for those workers cbd would do better in their hands, apposed to a few executives and owners. However, thatā€™s not even close to what they are asking for! So you are lying or dumb.

MrBusinessMan , (edited )

The car manufacturers need that profit to distribute to their shareholders, or do stock buyback or whatever best benefits the share price etc. By doing so they are helping the whole economy and that money will eventually trickle down to the little guys in some form or another.

For example: instead of giving all that money to the greedy UAW, GM can use it to buy back their stock. The price of the stock and the net worth of the people who own most of it therefore goes up. They borrow against that stock for a new yacht in the Mediterranean and use it to visit a charming seaside village in Greece or Italy. They eat at the nicest restaurant in the nicest resort in that village.

Now, you see how that money helped the villagers who otherwise never would have seen a dime of it? The auto workers arenā€™t going to spend any of that money in Greece or Italy. Not to mention support the families of boat-makers, boat-loan-processors etc along the way.

ā€œoh well someone please think of the poor shareholders and executives making millions off other peoples labor!ā€

The is no trickle down. Itā€™s been 70 years of that crap and it gets more moronic every time. There is no evidence that high executive pay or shareholder payouts benefits the economy. Just out right lies. What the Villiers should do is murder the people hording resources and spend their vacations in Greece and Italy.
