But sure, let’s keep blaming the guy who just wants a decent wage and a place to live.
We can certainly acknowledge that there are many problems in the world. But you’d be pretty daft if you don’t see that a small minority of people claiming a majority of the earth’s wealth and resources and then using that power to enact changes that line their pockets, make the poor poorer, and place propaganda on everything else but their greed as an overarching problem.
When your salary disappears faster than your phone battery on 1%…
Reaction from common people:
Yes but CEOs are rich and powerful and are friends with senators. We can’t do anything about them.
On the other hand, migrants and refugees are weak and in a foreign country so it’s easy to come down on them.
we had a great jobs report last week and the stock market plummeted, that’s all you need to know
There is nothing clever about this comeback even if you agree with him. Why is this here?
By 01:00 1/1/2025 Jeff Bezos had made more money in 2025 than your average worker will see in 2 lifetimes.
Jeff Bezos makes 2x more an hour than the average worker makes in their lifetime. ($3.5 million /hr vs $1.7 million lifetime.)
I feel like this is a comeback, but it’s not like…. witty or clever. Just a true statement is all.
No war but the class war
Greedy money hoarders!

We’ve been successfully domesticated. Nothing will change.
CEOs are the biggest detriment to any business, unless they are not taking millions in “self deserved” wages. This effectively does make them the biggest detriment to any country as a whole.
The literal only reason they have that much money is because they declare they deserve it for doing what they do. First, it was their choice. Second, they are effectively a parent because they must tend the business and employee needs, like a household and children. Third, the only greater responsibilities are politics, that should be military level strict on all politicians, and abuse of political position.
We literally depend on executives for employment to support our every need, so yes it is like being children. We even have to live by their rules, some of which actually supercede the very Constitution, here in America. They depend on us to maintain a business. It is not a one way street in either direction.
Any executive level function taking millions, is effectively stealing from their business, if employee wages aren’t reasonable; reasonable meaning at any level from the bottom up, living low Middle Class, bare minimum. Even at McDonald’s. Executive responsibiliy is a literal life of self sacrifice for the greater good of the business. Anyone superceding that is unqualified for the position.
A full time, adult worker should literally NEVER need more than one job to live, period, with zero exception (beyond the desire to do so) to live a lower middle class life, bare minimum. It IS executive responsibility to ensure this as effectively as possible.
Income classes are unavoidable. It has to be this way, as long as money is the base for societal progression. Its the hazard of currency. A strong Middle Class means a strong economy. Lose the Middle Class; you lose the economy, and indeed nations, collapse. Income disparity is a death sentence for every nation, no matter how powerful, because that is caused by corruption to the core.
There will always be a low, middle, and high class. There will always be corruption. Its our job to hold them accountable by whatever means necessary, whenever, to ensure minimal corruption, and more equal class distribution.
Quality of life is also up to people being smart with their money and living within their means, too. But ALL employers should be able to provide this, when people are reasonable. That is LITERALLY their job to properly employ people, and run a well operated business. This is what it entails, like it or not.
If a business cannot provide this they should be going under. Yes. People will lose jobs. Yes it sucks. That’s an inevitability in all business though; but if they cannot, or are choosing not to provide this, and treat it like a piggy bank instead of one of the greatest responsibilities a human could have, the business needs to die off, and be replaced with someone who WILL do the right things, at least mostly, because letting it continue is what snowballs the corruption. The dereliction of duty must be equally met in consequence.
It’s not like people are only racist and homophobic because of wage disparity. The migrant, refugee and woke problem won’t go away even if you solve wage disparity and eliminate CEOs.
There is a billionaire class while far more people are struggling to stay afloat.
If you think that isn’t concerning, then you are either part of the first group or you’re voting against your own interests. Because the latter group is growing every day.
But but maga people think the money will flow down to them!
Ferengi CEOs
One way to fuck these opulent twats over is don’t subscribe to their product.
I’m gonna fuckin screeeeaaaaam :))))
“**AI Overview**[Learn more](https://support.google.com/websearch?p=ai_overviews&hl=en)According to UK law, most workers are entitled to a minimum of 5.6 weeks of paid holiday per year, which translates to 28 days for a standard 5-day work week. ”
Americans are entitled to 0.
A big part of the reason that CEOs are making substantially more money than they were before is because they are lobbying to import as many foreign workers as possible to depress wages. You don’t understand basic economics because it is heckin raciss to say anything that paints migrants or refugees in a bad light, not realizing that that was a frame made by the elite to exploit you.
Why don’t the poor people just make their own company and become a CEO?
If this seems like a clever comeback to you, you’re overpaid working for free.
Wrong. CEOs are just insanely well paid. But the problem are the people who don’t have to work at all for their money.
No war but the class war
No illegal aliens are still a problem
Historically speaking the wealthy are indeed always the problem, the cause of suffering on our planet. If we brought back the hangmans noose for the misbehaving, aka EVIL OLIGARCHS, and began exercising justice, humanity may have a chance at making it past the next 40 years.
