Fucking rich people. Can't cook a meal, can't hunt without being driven to and put in front of a doped animal, can't farm, can't change a lightbulb, can't wipe their own ass, can't do anything by themselves, but somehow they are the ones who own the property and all the resources. They are fucking useless and they need to be reminded of that

Excessive wealth is a disease, and in some cultures is known to be such. Here in the US, since the California gold rush we've had this idea that ordinary people could strike it rich, and so we aspire to join the well-to-do (even while J. P. Morgan would literally kill Carnegie to take his share. The ultra-wealthy are more dog-eat-dog than the rest of us.)
I can't speak for the rest of the industrialized neoliberal nations, but Great Britain seems to be okay with lords owning billions and using their wealth and power to control policy. Meanwhile the tech-bros that are crushing the soul of the US are also getting their tendrils into the rest of the world, buying up politicians and spreading far-right propaganda globally.
That includes middle and upper management at almost every company. They want to make the rules and fire people so they can buy a boat, but they couldn't do the work if their life depended on it. I'd love to see our CEO try to do an operation on the manufacturing floor. The suits are rude, slow, and just annoying.
I am an early retired electrical engineer. I hunt, fish, and have fruit trees all over my yard. I also repair and/or replace all my own appliances. I do my own plumbing, electrical, and handyman work. I do my own car repairs and maintenance. I make my own furniture out of palette wood and bamboo grown in my yard. I brew my own beer. I do all the cooking in my house since my wife is still teaching. Stop by and have a home brew after work!
Appreciate the invite. Now, I apologize if you felt attacked, but if your total net worth isn't above $50,000,000, I was not talking about you.
You seem rich in life, though ☺️
Do you think you're rich as a worker?
Early retired means living off my investments now. My wife only teaches because she gets bored at home.
I'm not talking about early retirement. The first comment was talking about rich people and then you commented you're retired, as if to imply you are one of the rich people the first comment was talking about.
Every time I think it's as fucked as it can get for now, I get crotch punched again.
Capitalism is a death cult
#ABoringDystopia
I mean, it's a dystopia but it's not boring. This is pretty futuristic and interesting.
Jesus fucking Christ is Vonnegut's Player Piano actually becoming a thing?
Spin the wheel of dystopian sci-fi and lets see where we land next week.
You know given the differences in prevailing wages I'd bet it's easier for a USAian to fund an Indian union's strike fund. Workers of the world unite, but is anyone out here facilitating that?
Interesting that the overlords think that removing the last barrier to their downfall will not end in violence.
"Capitalists will sell the rope in which they will be hung." Paraphrased from Lenin I think
Fuckers
