Im doing whatever I can to not work. My family and friends are more important to me than any job.
What can you possibly offer to me that would make that math change? Threats? There’s more of us than you buddy. There’s a reason its “eat the rich” and not tax them. We dont need you, you need us.
I don’t want to hear about national debt from a politician ever again. Doge fixed it all, were doing great. Kindly fuck off.
“If you would all just put in even more effort within a system that economically, physically, and mentally crushes you for your entire life, the billionaires won’t have to give up their undeserved wealth! Whaddaya say, guys!?”
It would generate $3T for the US Economy
Isn’t this one of the assholes insisting AI is going to take all our jobs? Why do you suddenly need 17-year-olds in the workforce and 67-year-olds delaying their retirement if Computers Are Gonna Do It in another ten years?
Nevermind the baby-brained cost-benefit analysis of pulling in under-educated teenagers for low margin labor or stalling burnouts from leaving the workforce. “Work Harder, Not Smarter” appears to be the motto of the modern capitalist.
Dude who can’t even be trusted in his primary field of study is now slowly drifting out of his lane. How long before he starts talking about AI too?
If necromancy was a thing, they would make us work even after dying

“Thank you all for working earlier and retiring later. What you’ve done has wiped out that horrid national debt…
Now for some more good news we’ve got an even newer, bigger, better, more tremendous national debt because, well, we are either fucking useless with money or just robbing thieving cunts that plain just stole all that cash from your hard work to buy ourselves mansions and yachts.
So everyone will now have to start work at 14 and retire at, lol I don’t know, 78? to get rid of this national debt. We pinky promise not to rob all this money though. Honest.
Right I’m off to buy another yacht. See ya, suckers!”
Money isn’t real so just erase the debt.
Or we could kill all the Sociopathic Oligarchs and their families, and repatriate their stolen wealth. If anyone starts to earn more than, say, $10 million dollars, their entire family gets executed, and their wealth repatriated.
They won’t be able to give it away fast enough.
You can really tell that no one actually criticizes these people to their faces. Who says this shit? I would be roasted for weeks for saying anything that stupid in a public place.
Well, you could reduce your military spending as well, but that’s just crazy talk.
Just make the peasants work more, that’s the only reason we even let them consume oxygen, after all.
How about we institute a wealth tax, uncap social security taxes, halve the defense budget, and roll out medicare for all instead.
Why would I work more? So that shitheads like oz can make more profit from me?
Look who found the source of their wealth: The labor of the lower class.
If those lazy bastards would just stop sleeping at night and worked instead…
I’m take the blame for this. I recently took a day off to go spend time with my daughter on a Saturday so we could have fun. I feel horrible.
You bastard!!!
(joking of course)
STOP WASTING TIME IN THE INTERNET AND GET BACK TO WILL, YOU LAZY PLEBES! WE GOT BONUSES TO EARN! What? No, you’re not getting any.
Bullshit!! Any extra money in the system will trickle up like always, then people are stuck working longer for no benefit to themselves.
These greedy fucks are crossing lines that shouldnt be crossed.
This guy is a fucking idiot
If the jobs were purposeful, fulfilling and well regulated there actually wouldn’t be anything wrong w that
just one more year bro I swear this one gonna fix it

Watching the US try to fix the country without taxing rich fuckers is like watching a poor person try to budget their way out of being poor.
Sometimes you just need more fucking money.
