that’s quality

It points out how the typical person doesn’t participate in the electoral process, but still complains about policies that elected leaders enact.

This must be the famous german humour

Welcome to /c/funny, a place for all your humorous and amusing content.

How is this funny?

welcome to mastodon

yeah can’t get past consent page, in discord they said it will not work outside of france, they did not expect it to be popular I guess?

What search engine do you use at the moment?

You said CEO’s don’t lose their jobs, if you paid attention to business news you’d know they lose them all the time

Also OBVIOUSLY it’s a drop in the ocean, there are simply less CEO’s than regular workers, that’s also why they are higher paid, because there is more demand for their skills

CEOs packages mean they don’t need to worry about actually how to pay their rent/mortgage

You’re thinking specifically of high paid CEO’s yeah? Obviously not thinking of small to medium businesses

According to the latest statistics on the percentage of businesses that fail in the United States, we see that of the 733,721 new businesses that were started in 2018, more than one-fifth (20.6%) closed in 2019, after just one year in operation.

The percentage of businesses that fail increased to 31.3% in the second year (2020) and 37.9% in the third year (2021). In other words, fewer than two-thirds of the businesses that started in 2018 remained in operation three years on.

In their fourth year (2022), 42.7% had shuttered and by the fifth year in 2023, the new business failure rate reached 48%. These numbers show that only around half of the businesses that started in 2028, or 381,337 of them, to be exact, were still surviving half a decade on.

It’s a brutal business the business business

What do workers get? Few months severance for decade of work.

So same as any other CEO, except usually even less if the business goes bust under your leadership

Wake up and see the numbers.

If being a CEO is so fuckin incredible it sounds like you should stop bitching and start attending a few management courses eh?

ceos lose their jobs all the time

This year has seen significant changes in CEO turnover. In the first quarter alone of 2024, outplacement and career transitioning firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported that 622 chief executives announced their resignations. This represents a 50% increase compared to the first quarter of 2023, which was already a record year for CEO exits.

The surge in departures seen earlier this year can be attributed to the evolving business landscape, retirement of Baby Boomers and increased pressure on CEOs to navigate complex issues, including inflation, supply chain disruptions, and environmental, social and governance concerns.

who doesn’t get made redundant?

yeah and this meme is entirely self defeating? twitter is garbage, why are you in a garbage dump complaining about the garbage?

for a quarter and considering how badly things in the us are going not bad at all

Care to elaborate on your understanding and reality of how capitalism functions?

You should make one using AI, on every page load it generates a random image and has the caption of something completely different

AI wars

This looks like it should be in doctors offices

Yeah agreed, I’ve always tried to follow minimalist living:

Q: What is minimalist living?

A: It’s simply getting rid of things you do not use or need, leaving an uncluttered, simple environment and an uncluttered, simple life. It’s living without an obsession with material things or an obsession with doing everything and doing too much. It’s using simple tools, having a simple wardrobe, carrying little and living lightly.

yep the biggest worry isn’t AI, it’s India

https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/india-co2-emissions/

The west is lowering its co2 output while India is slurping up all the co2 we’re saving:

This doesn’t include China of course, the most egregious of the co2 emitters

AI is not even a tiny blip on that radar, especially as AI is in data centres and devices which runs on electricity so the more your country goes to renewables the less co2 impacting it is over time

because you also make money for yourself

which allows you to buy things

and not live off the state

you are also (given the motivation) also capable of working your way up the chain and making more money for yourself which allows you to put it towards not working at all and still not living off the state

“Spend less than you earn—invest the surplus—avoid debt. Do simply this and you’ll wind up rich.”[7]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIRE_movement

we’re rolling out renewables at like 100x the rate of ai electricity use, so no need to worry there

what models are going nuts?
