Antiwork

We need to see guillotining of CEOs jump 40-50%.

Counterpoint: maybe he needs to learn that he'd be nothing without the backs of the workers for him to stand on.

Just want to clear the record and say that every business owner thinks this, it's just that this jackass has the stupidity to say it out loud. They don't want to pay more, which has become a necessity since the pandemic due to low unemployment rates. By having a larger labor pool, they can cut wages to take advantage of people's desperation.

This is the "Millenials eat too much avocado toast" guy. He lives on rage bait and generating headlines.

For everyone saying "A 50% increase in unemployment would only take us from 3.8% to 5.7%, that's not bad" keep in mind that 37,000 people die for every 1% increase in unemployment. This man is essentially wishing for the deaths of 70,000 americans.

Edit: just realized he's probably talking about Australia from his accent. Not sure about the numbers for Australia on unemployment deaths, but I imagine the point should still stand.

This is the guy that made the original avocado toast comment. He is prime eat the rich material of ever there was any.

Tim is literally a freeloader making money off of other people's labor... scum. . .

He should see what we did to the czars and repeat himself.

This goes right into my spreadsheet of examples how winning at capitalism does not require much intelligence or foresight. In fact, too much of either hurts your chances.

Keep in mind that “jump 40-50%” is not the same as “unemployment at 40-50%”…your headline is sensationalist (or just a misunderstanding of the numbers). This guy’s take is still absurd, regardless.

We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around

This angers me. If it wasn't for employees many employers be living in a box under the turnpike, because shit doesn't get done by wishful thinking alone.

We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around.

Employment is a mutually-beneficial agreement. I pity whoever has that CEO as a boss that thinks so lowly of their subordinates. We need to remind employers that they also depend on their employees.

I mean this ghoul is just saying the quiet part out loud. Realistically, every CEO thinks like this.

I heard "Let them eat cake."

Both in the sense that this is a bullshit thing to say, and in the sense that this is the sort of thing that, if misquoted, could get innocent (at least of saying something like that) people hurt.

So like, how would one go about trying to figure out where this guy lives?

Holy shit what an actual psychopath

If I see this fuckwit in the street I’m laying him out.

Not agreeing with the sentiment, but your title is wrong, OP. He didn't say unemployment should be 40-50%. He said it should increase by 40-50%, which equates to a move from 3.8% to 5.7%

Prole says the concept of private property gave the bourgeoisie bad habits, prescribes a redistribution of the means of production if the bourgeoisie knows what's good for them.

The bourgeoisie are class conscious and act in their own interest. We should do the same.

He needs to see pain in his life.

Does he really not understand that employers make their money from their employees?

Deserves the Wall.

I see no issue with that statement. Its a surefire for social revolution.

This is a great point, so great he should win a free ticket to visit the Titanic in a home made sub

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

So I guess that means corporations are actually hoping for a recession so they can "tighten the belt" and fire some workers and the remaining ones will work extra hard to make up the difference. Again.

I prescribe crucifixion for the CEO. Just nail his hands to a cross in the town square.

A 1% increase is associated with 37000 additional deaths. 40% unemployment would be classicide.

Lemmy poster says capitalism gave us bad habits, prescribes CEOs be eaten alive.

The beatings will continue until ~~morale~~ productivity improves.

Edit: Sorry, morale is irrelevant.
