You are like those people who when hear hear "crypto" start thinking about $HAWK and think it's a scam.

You hear me criticizing the authoritarian nature of corporations, and all you can think of is planned economy (I know planned economies don't work).

"Commie" is a very vague term which nowadays covers both North Korea AND free lunch in school. It is useless at this point.

We can have worker co-ops and social safety nets while having a democracy and human rights

Explain what does them being jews have to do with anything.

Sounds like you are a nazi troll

The fed is democratically elected and we know their names.

It says ETHNIC GROUP there. This is basically the same as race.

Now tell me, what is your problem with jews in goverment? Maybe you would like some DEI and get a fair distribution with whites, blacks, hispanics huh?

I thought you don't like DEI? And now you are basically saying there are too many white people in government? Hypocrite?

Yes these people are literally ELECTED in ELECTIONS

Also what does their race have to do with this? I thought you didn't believe in white privilege??

Elon Musk, a private citizen, is withholding payments approved by Congress. He and his team of unelected private citizens are trying to take the Treasury under their own control.

Also the ICE sometimes detain citizens.

This is what I remember they did so far, but they are also talking a lot about doing more authoritarian stuff and it's coming soon. Elon Musk is dismantling democracy and setting ground for a dictatorship

... They say while their administration disregards the constitution. How fucking stupid does one have to be

Elon IS the fraud. Imagine still thinking Elon is there to save as all from the "corruption" while he takes control of the treasury.

Me when social media platform doesn't let me call for vigilante execution of all brown people and gays: literally 1984

It's like the muslim cultural revolutions in the middle east. You know, like where u get executed for not wearing the hijab or something.

The land you live on is owned by a single mega-corporation (they own 50,000 square kilometers of land around you). They act like a dictatorship. You were born on their land and are too poor to move anywhere. If you get too loud, the only local supermarket, owned by the corporation, raises the price of groceries just for you. So if your social credit score is too low, they will starve your family to death.

Oh, and also it rains acid so the plants are dead hehe

Yeah and I still think the current hierarchy of businesses is both immoral AND inefficient (co-ops are more productive).

Had to do a lot of mental gymnastics to keep convincing myself that I deserved all the money I was getting.

No it's not. Nostr is all fascists and grifters. I wish though

The owner's payout is not proportionate to the amount of work or value created by the them. And I mean sometimes the owner doesn't even do anything.

Look at Musk - dude just tweets all day while owning 3 companies and being in charge of a government agency.

So many people work at his companies and yet he and the investors get so much money. It could be better

Employees would still be paid upfront. But companies would be ran democratically and for the benefit of the people that work there, not the owner/investors. My point is that the owners don't contribute anything, yet they get to decide the roadmap and earn a lot of money. And when they want to maximize profits, they underpay their workers.

I wouldn't have a problem with companies chasing profits if I knew the profits went to benefit the people that provide value, the actual workers, you know? But unfortunately, today the extra revenue goes to the useless owners/investors, who often can't even be trusted with that much money, Musk being an easy example.

The billionaires we all know and love were born into money and used that money to buy assets and companies that generated them more money. They didn't "work hard" to earn it.

The system doesn't seem fair to me. The profits of a company end up going to the owners and investors and not to the actual people that work and manage it.

It would be better for society if the people who actually run the workplace had control over it and directly benefit from the profits the company generates, instead of so much money going to owners and investors who have never even visited the place they get profits from.

This would also make people more hard-working and involved at their workplace, because doing things more efficiently and automating tasks would mean more profits, and not being fired because you are no longer needed...

Imagine every employee doing their best because they have an incentive to make profit for their own company. Imagine the employees making decisions - as opposed to the investors who are clearly less knowledgeable than the actual people who run the company.

This sounds like a golden age of entrepreneurship and competition to me.

Me when I buy a restaurant and hire people to manage and work at it and take a % from their earnings while doing nothing but demanding line go up and unions to be broken. Woohoo benefitting everyone so much!! Capitalism ftw!

Trump could offer Ross his bitcoins back if he gave 50% of it to Trump personally. Why do you think this can't happen?

This is tragic not funny
