Because it is class warfare. Always has been.
The rich want you dead. React accordingly
The rich have been fighting class warfare against the middle class and poor for like five decades now; it’s definitely long past time for the middle class and poor to start fighting in the war too.
Agreed
Feelings mutual.
"Farmers want their livestock dead."
Seen your comment dozens of times. I cannot fathom how lemmy thinks the rich want us dead when their money is dependent on our labor.
I think there's an element of misunderstanding how stocks work, thinking they can just trade money around indefinitely with no actual products and value. Seems the rich think the same ATM. 🤦🏻♂️
Don't look of "Buffett Index". Or do, and prepare. You do you.
uh, farmers routinely murder their livestock. to death.
If you want eggs you don't kill all your chickens. I cannot believe this "rich want us dead" belief is actually a thing.
Let me spell it out for the simple minded; The rich are rich because they siphon the profits of our labor. No labor, no rich. I cannot make it more simple.
Lemmy: "They want to kill us all!"
If you want eggs you keep chickens in pens against their wills, control their food and water, and murder them when they are no longer capable of giving their unborn children to you for you to sell for your exclusive benefit. Let me spell it out for the simple minded; your metaphor sucks, and your argument doesn't hold up to even the slightest scrutiny.
You are also Lemmy. Lemmy isn't a homogenous entity.
Their money is dependent on labour, not necessarily human labour. Over 100 years of industrial revolution and mass layoffs in the face of new machinery has taught us that.
Why do you think AI and robots are being developed and pushed so hard by the ultra rich?
Found the Russian bot.
Aren't you cute! Please, do explain yourself.
Some airlines must have been very aggressively phoning the white House so that they can keep the money from all the flights he forced cancelled
Yet again I have to mention my thing about biden being the best president of my lifetime. So many nice littel quality of life things done and now reversed. ugh.
Early on, i said Biden could go down as on of the greats. He made a slew of excellent calls in the beginning. I'll controversially claim Afghanistan withdrawal as one those good calls, in the circumstances, as well. Its a shame he couldn't maintain that form.
To be fair, credit goes to his team. Biden had no clue what was going on.
this is actually a big point of presidents. Reagan actually picked some very good folks initially but dropped ones who disagreed with him. I don't like reagan but if he had listened to his initial picks he might have been decent. You basically want someone who can put together a great team. This is also what makes trumps presidency so very bad.
Have a feeling you're right.
ugh
Americans first!
These thin skinned assholes dont fear the people enough. We need a new guillotine era.
Airlines getting away scot-free, great for them, bad for consumers
