Yeah no, fuck them too. Those people rarely produce anything of value, just stress and using workers as their personal trauma dump.

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
"Financial obesity" I like that, haven't heard that before. Is that yours? Or did you hear that somewhere?
I don’t recall where I originally found it, I’ve also seen ‘morbidly wealthy’.
Another banger, anyways have a nice day brother.
Financial obesity? More like socioeconomic cancer.
It's not just an excess of adipose tissue. It's a malignant tumor, and it's capable of metastasizing. It's already in society's lymph. We're cooked.

50/hr guy is not welcome in my home, not because of his class but because I don't like bootlickers and that's a bootlicker right there.
I hate to break it to you, but $50/hr is barely $100,000/yr. That's barely above low income where I live. That is not even remotely your enemy.
If he won't get out of the way, yes he is.
Exactly why he shouldn't be acting like that. I didn't make him a bootlicker, he did. As I said, It's not his 'class' (ie. pay) that bothers me. It's their unwillingness to jeperdise their precious position while others wallow.
He likely got to the position that he did because he decided to be like that, their is no way for me to change his mind because a person like that won't risk their position for someone else, thats how they got to where they are in the first place. So unless they believe they will do even slightly better by joining us, they won't help
Have you only worked at one place your entire life? It would explain they you might not understand where I'm coming from. (no being hostile, actually asking)
Ah, I apologize, I just misunderstood. No, I agree with you completely. Regardless of how much income you have, that kind of attitude is indeed disgusting.
Remember Samuel L Jaskson in Django? All middle managers are that guy. Actively working AGAINST you changing the system. What value is there being in the house if everyone has a house.

The book 'Freakomomics' deals, among many others, with the similarities between a corporate giant and a regular criminal organisation. In short, petty criminals risk death or prison for only two reasons: a) they feel they have no other choice and b) they are hoping, one day, to become part of the top members. That's about it. Think about it for a while and the argument is easily transposed to the '''legal''' corporate world, which also explains why middle managers tend to be obedient assholes who, instead of being mad at those exploiting them, exploit their underlings themselves.
