More honest than claiming it'll "trickle down."

[-] trailing9@lemmy.ml 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

But it will!!!!

Joke aside, money would trickle down when workers ensure that key markets like housing and healthcare are competitive and not take whatever wage increase there is.

[-] OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Can you elaborate more on the second bit? I'm having trouble piecing it together grammatically to understand the sentence.

[-] trailing9@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago

Housing is a sellers market where buyers compete. There needs to be a surplus of housing so that buyers can choose. Then prices fall to construction costs plus cost of management.

Money would trickle down if workers ensured that key markets like housing and healthcare were competitive, and not systems that take whatever wage increase they can get.

is my read of it

is this sopossed to be a metaphor for something or am i just stupid

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 65 points 11 months ago

The title of the comic is "Tax Deductions" so I can assume Oglaf is satirizing working class people who worship capitalists.

[-] Mambert@beehaw.org 2 points 11 months ago

Is this anti-CRT? I fully accept if I'm reaching too far.

You can tell it's not some right-wing boomer cartoon because there's diversity.

For example, the group of lions is (almost) evenly split between male and female lions.

And there is one antelope which is left-handed, while all others are right-handed.

Uhhhh... I... Huh. Holy shit. You're right... Wtf. That's so weirdly cool. I never would have noticed

[-] Amaltheamannen@lemmy.ml 20 points 11 months ago

It's about capitalism

[-] ohitsbreadley@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 11 months ago

What makes you think it's anti-CRT?

[-] Mambert@beehaw.org 1 points 11 months ago

The panel where the cycle is shown, followed by the gazelle being thankful for being eaten, looks like the rhetoric of anti-CRT.

[-] zbyte64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago

CRT is when we teach sheeple to be sheep?

I read it as more pro-critical history than anything.

[-] Mambert@beehaw.org 1 points 11 months ago

If you go by conspiracy theorists' rhetoric, yes CRT is when sheeple are taught to be sheep.

i don't remember this episode of Beastars 🤔

It's a Lion King spinoff where the gazelle idolizes the lion.

It's the Lion Kink, It have gore, sex and everything

[-] rikonium@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 11 months ago

You've done it now, now I'm catching up on Oglaf!

[-] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 months ago

He's as good as ever, go ahead

[-] Enigma@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Reminds me of Theo Lion from Between the Lions.
