Yes. The pattern continues. You cherry-pick a few choice quotes from my response and then claim I’m some kind of pro-billionaire, despite the fact that my statement opened with a clear denunciation of billionaires.
Are you going to gloss over that, or is it simply more convenient to pretend I didn’t say it? Of course it is. That part directly contradicts the narrative you are trying to push. It also offers actual solutions, something you have failed to do, opting instead for ad hominem. Let me be perfectly clear. I do not like billionaires. They should not exist. Their wealth needs to be forcibly reclaimed, leaving them with enough money to feel rich but without any functional power. Large corporations must be aggressively monitored and regulated.
Achieving this requires sweeping reforms: outlawing lobbying, instituting term limits for politicians, abolishing the Electoral College, implementing wage taxes and caps, and redistributing wealth to the bottom 80 percent.
So I’ll ask again: are you capable of contributing anything substantive to this discussion, or is performative outrage the extent of your engagement?
and you accuse me of ad hominem attacks? lol
and you will still fight for your 6 days work-week? why o why?
that 4-day week is not a solution in itself. it is part of the big debate about wage theft and the big solution needs to have laws and regulation so you don't have to work 6 days to being afford a life. i have already said that, but you continue to ignore it, because it doesn't fit your narrative, which is something you accuse me of.
I suppose we are both guilty of ad hominem.
I would like you to show me, in our exchange or anywhere under my original comment, where I supported billionaires. My position is straightforward. I am explaining why a four-day workweek, in my business, would not generate sufficient revenue. Other companies would undercut me by working more than four days a week and charging less per closed work order. That is not ideology; it is how competition functions in a capitalist system.
This leads to the central question: what reforms, legislation, or structural changes could realistically curtail this basic economic condition? Corporations should absolutely be more heavily regulated to prevent abuse. However, their autonomy cannot be eliminated entirely. They must retain some capacity to operate independently and generate profit, or the system collapses. What you are ultimately describing resembles a non-monetary or post-scarcity economy, which cannot exist until scarcity itself is eliminated.
The four-day workweek is an excellent idea, and I fully support it where it is viable. What you are proposing, however, is not a minor reform. It is a fundamental change to the philosophical and economic foundations of our society. Such a transformation cannot be achieved through legislation alone.
Why are you demanding something you refuse to do yourself?
Ok.
I agree that billionaires hoarding wealth like a dragon under a mountain is terrible.
A four day work week is a great idea and should be implemented where it can work.
We need over arching sweeping reforms to solve our wealth equality issues.
Agree or disagree?
