dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Reminds me of my friend who's getting a business degree showing me some of her lectures. Dunno the English terminology for it but it was something along the lines of "Customers will spend a certain percentage of their income on different needs/desires (food, rent, leisure etc) that scales linearly with their income", down to assigning percentages to individual food items.

It took me like 30 seconds before I realized how completely insane and obvious nonsense that statement was. Someone who makes 500k a year obviously doesn't spend 10x as much on eggs as someone who makes 50k. The sheer ideology in these presentation slides was genuinely shocking. Complete lunacy.

tl;dr business majors aren't people.

Wasn't there a twitter thing with rich people budgeting for like gallons and gallons of milk for every day and wondering why they weren't any better off after a pay rise? If you're going to get a job charging commission to people who didn't need intelligence to earn their wealth, maybe this business degree lark has it's uses.

If you want to learn bourgeois economics, become conservative. If you want to understand bourgeois economics, read Marx. -- Rogan Renald
