Don’t you see? Rich people create jobs! Migrants just sit around and collect money from the hard work of everyone around them!

Oh wait, it’s the opposite isn’t it…

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

Migrants create jobs and rich people don’t work ?

[-] Limeey@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

If you think any billionaire "worked" for the amount of money they have, you're sorely mistaken. It's a byproduct of a flawed economic system, not their "work ethic." Not to say capitalism doesn't have it's benefits, but it's the system in which capitalism is allowed to operate that produces inequalities like that.

Yes. Considering the net loss in population and the its aging, an influx of new people generates new consumption and opportunities for market growth, and sustains socialized systems like pensions and health care, albeit over a long period.

On the other hand, billionaires hoard disgusting fortunes like fucking dragons to the detriment of society at large. They thus deserve to be slayed, like we would dragons.

Did you know some of the original guillotines already exist?

While I would love their wealth to be redistributed, execution is something I would never support for any crime.

[-] emberwit@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Ok maybe we just ask them kindly

[-] MrFunnyMoustache@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Not what I meant. If they break the law, they should be put through the legal system and actually be treated like any criminal instead of getting special privileges. What I meant is that I am against executions in general; even mass murderers shouldn't be executed once they are in custody of the state, they should be in prison for as long as needed to keep them away from society.

[-] emberwit@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

So the existence of billionaires is not a problem as long as they aren't criminals?

[-] MrFunnyMoustache@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

It is a problem, and their wealth needs to be redistributed regardless, but the rule of law is important. If a billionaire has done zero crimes, they should still not be allowed to keep the majority of their wealth, but they shouldn't be imprisoned if they hadn't broken the law.

[-] okiloki@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

You don't need to kill them, you just need to remove the money and BAM, no more billionaires, slayed the dragon.

[-] MrFunnyMoustache@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Perfect; I am 100% with you on this one.

[-] regular_human@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's pretty cool that the law is definitely not rigged in favor of the rich

[-] Screak42@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Best I can do is spent some of the claps I have left from the generous clapping during covid.

[-] da_g@feddit.it 5 points 1 year ago

Tbh rich people do create jobs and migrants take those jobs usually

[-] Limeey@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

The rich can only "create jobs" because we have an economic and political system that skews reward toward investment rather than labor. Both are important, but let's not pretend that anyone can earn a billions without excessive wage theft from the people doing the actual labor.

[-] da_g@feddit.it 2 points 1 year ago

It's just supply and demand we have very few entrepreneurs while a tone of uneducated workers, obviously they are going to get paid less, they took 0 risks investment side

Funny how the ceo couldn't assume and financial risk towards better safety measures, eh?

Like when his engineers recommended them and got shitcanned for it.

Achieving safety goals is for the poors.

[-] arcrust@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I up voted you because you aren't wrong. At least in the sense of sweat shops. May not be good jobs, but they do technically count as jobs.

[-] da_g@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago

Not only sweat shops, if there is a little of human rights they can create pretty good working conditions and with competition salary rise up
