  • I fuckin HATE ayn rand, but those workers are being paid for their labor, they’re not slaves. If that labor provides a little profit or a lot of profit is up to good or bad business practices of the company they’re working for, and doesn’t need to be shared with them outright, unless it happens naturally as a result of supply/demand making their labor more valuable (because otherwise they’d just go somewhere else where they will be paid more).

    The crux here is that for this to happen appropriately, we need to be living in an ideal world with appropriate laws, no corruption, exploitation, loopholes, bribing, lobbying, etc. and we do not currently live in that world, so the above is just theoretical.

    “if you’re not with us, you’re against us” in this society. It’s insane. There is no room for independent thought, views, or opinions. No contrasting points of view, no critical thinking, no wavering on the established position of your side. Align your beliefs with ours or you will be admonished and labeled and cast aside as a terrible person.





  • Yep, that’s what well-adjusted, mature adults do nowadays.

    And before everyone chimes in joking, “well that doesn’t apply to any of us lol!” It’s doing shit like this that makes you well adjusted and mature, not the other way around.

    I know this ain’t no self-help advice column and we all just want a quick laugh, but it’s nice to come across some helpful life advice once in a while.
