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.

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?
credo@lemmy.world 5 months ago
How do you define “earn”?
desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
aqqured though effort, if they had some morals* beforehand it would have taken effort to underpay that many people
RandomVideos@programming.dev 5 months ago
According to the dictionary that duckduckgo uses:
To yield as return or profit
normalexit@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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)
babybus@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
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.
Holyginz@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Good of you to take a break from licking corporates shoes to post this.
babybus@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Oh, you are so rebellious. What are you, 15?
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Go back to your billionaire pickme group, then.
Go on, shoo. Shoo
babybus@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Go back to your fifth job, loser.

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.
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.

What’s the maximum amount of money a person can actually earn in their life?
karl_chungus@lemm.ee 5 months ago
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.
karl_chungus@lemm.ee 5 months ago
lol totally fair.
Just glad it’s getting posted at all 😍

Would c/leftymemes fit better?
pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 5 months ago
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).
Cruxifux@feddit.nl 5 months ago
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.
Croquette@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
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.
StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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”
