The mantra I was told was always 'add value' at your job.

When I read volume one of capital I came to understand that this was willingly giving more of my labour for free on top of the labour capital was already profiting from (after all I am only given a job earning x units/hour as long as capital, via management upwards, earns x+1/units from that labour). Thus wealth trickles upwards in capitalism. Not down.

Everyone bought the 'add value' line and repeated it in work as though the were doing something great - us humans tend to believe what we are told (and once those neural pathways are burned they don't change easily), which is in large part why those without empathy are able to succeed. We need to rely on each other and they don't give a fuck.

Another one is "always use other people's money" (from think and grow rich, or whichever popular book it came from). If you're Elon Musk looking to hedge risk when buying twitter then fair enough, otherwise you go cap in hand to capital, and pay it a portion of the wealth you create for the privilege of being loaned the capital to begin with. Capitalists want you to use other people's (actually their) money in order that they can take their cut of your hard work.

Every MAGA is going to volunteer to work on Saturdays, and every holiday, right? Dear Leader requires it.

"I DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS!!!" - person that voted for the candidate that promised more work without more pay

Also dude looks like he takes 4 hour naps a day, why do we keep electing senior citizens

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago

His base legit acts like a class of peasants for this man. It is the most insane thing to watch in real time.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This monster feeds on media attention. Let's all stop relating every stupid things he says and focus on basically anything else, it will always be more positive.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 days ago

Just for that I'm playing games my entire shift.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 6 days ago (3 children)

He'd only do that if you gave it as a gift and put a bow on it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He should suck your dick while you are taking a shit...

I think that's just a regular blumpkin.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

You are the leading blumpkin authority!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

If I were you, I'd rather not 😂

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 days ago

he'd enjoy that. I'm not sure you would though.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I thought the amount of time he golfs would be higher. Every time he golfs we pay the taco when he stays at his properties.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

He intended to golf more but the mind and body are broken.

Hope be chokes on his KFC. I’ll go celebrate by eating… KFC

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

Given how worker production increasing over time and pay for said production have not stood in line with each other I think I’d rather not.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Incentivize it, you living malediction. Expand healthcare to allow more hours, increase overtime pay, make it easier to start a business, personally turn a few billionaires into pulp within a massive stadium housing solely seats, cameras, screens, a long spool of rope, and a single woodchipper. Frankly, these aren’t big asks.

I think one of those industrial grinders that grind up engines and stuff would be even better. Just run it at extra slow speed as you lower them in.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Nah, keep the machine at full speed, but definitely slowly feed them into it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Or just put a bullet in them and redistribute their wealth.

And it has a TACO index. Perfect. xD

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For anyone keeping count, that's about a day and a half per week.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

They did the math!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Frankly, I'd really rather that the Irish Star not encourage him to be spending more time making policy.
