    Why is this in shitpost it’s true

    • octopus_ink@lemmy.ml ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I wasn’t sure where to put it. Wanted to put it in memes, but didn’t relish the inevitable “it’s not a meme” comments, so this seemed like the best fit.🙂

      It’s NOT my OC and I encourage you to crosspost as you wish.

      Kinda. Billionaires don’t usually have a checking account with a few billion in it because they took it from a company’s profit instead of giving it to payroll.

      Their net worth is largely in non-liquid assets like stocks and real estate.

      • circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        But, the acquisition of those nonliquid assets is still related to underpayment of wages, at least in cases of extreme wealth inequality (which is to say, pretty much every CEO currently).

        Man I am so sick of people explaining this as if people don’t understand the concept of wealth as oppose to liquid assets. The argument still stands and it just serves to derail the point of whether billionaires should exist or not, and usually it’s used for tax evasion purposes and is entirely moot to the point anyway.

        The day they can’t leverage their stock to get infinite loans will be the day that this isn’t a lie.

        Otherwise, it’s a bullshit argument.

        This tired response needs that “brain, big brain, super brain” three part meme.

        Something like “billionaires have most of their net worth tied up into non-liquid assets -> those non-liquid assets attained their high value due to workers being underpaid by exploitative employers -> billionaires are the exploitative employers”

    Hey now, that’s not fair!

    The owners don’t “earn” shit.

    They lay down their chips from their last trip to the exploitation casino, and take.

    Leeches that don’t do shit.

    • BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I don’t think most people begrudge owners a reasonable profit, especially if they’re running things and taking an active role in the business and pay their workers well. It’s not unreasonable to have some cash squirrelled away for the business having hard times either.

      For me the issue is megacorps who exploit workers shaving working conditions and benefits until it’s bare bones, expecting more work from fewer people at higher quality, paying the bare minimum after being lucky enough to be the first to market with some idea so they’re in a completely dominant position and making billions.

    What would happen if each of us get 500 of these printed as flyers and post them all over our cities?

  • RandomVideos@programming.dev ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Isnt this a contradiction?

    They earned a billion USD by underpaying you, but they still earned the money

    I think this post is missing a “fairly” or something similar

    • bdonvr@thelemmy.club ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      They obtained it. They didn’t earn it.

      • RandomVideos@programming.dev ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I thought they meant the same

        Is “Nestle earned 100 billion USD by murdering children” a invalid use for the word?

      How do you define “earn”?

        aqqured though effort, if they had some morals* beforehand it would have taken effort to underpay that many people

        According to the dictionary that duckduckgo uses:

        To yield as return or profit

      It depends on how much gravity you put into the word “earned”.

    Is this a shitpost community or another ihatemoresuccessfulpeople lunatics group?

    • Gladaed@feddit.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      My man, what are you doing. We all dislike billionaires because the amount of money is not feasible to earn via honest wage work(<500k a year) in your lifetime.

      They ain’t successful, they cheat. (In a usually permitted form)

        My man, what are you doing.

        I’m complaining about irrelevant content. These posts don’t fix the problem, they aren’t funny either. This is just an echo chamber repeating the same sound over and over again. There are other communities for that.

      I could spend an hour writing a long winded explanation of why capitalists “earn” their wealth through wage theft… but Comrade Hakim already made a video that explains this concept pretty well so here.

    Then negotiate. Stop fingerpointing.

    • deaf_fish@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Step 1: Figure it out.

      Step 1.5: Spear the word.

      Step 2: Negotiate.

      source
      • madthumbs@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Spread the word and they’ll try to get rid of you. Negotiate for yourself. Not everyone is worth more and some people actually prefer to stay on government subsidies like SNAP, and HEAP.
