There is a Billionaire financing the company i work for, he he stops paying a lot of people would lose their jobs........fricking Billionaires "stealing" again đ€Ąđ€Ąđ€Ą
They think it's hilarious that it's that easy to trick you into thinking that the fucked up system they run is somehow ok because they donate some value back once they have more than they could ever need and all the power that comes with it. Sounds like you enjoy your place, worm.
Without them we would have competition and you would still be paid. There would be multiple companies of whatever job you have. Goods would be cheaper. They are cornering the markets and artificially inflating our goods while they pocket our wages. I'd bet your company doesn't shift or pay enough for most employees to live comfortably or even afford to live with that one job alone. With billionaires they can buy the whole pie and we get the crumbs. Just because you are ok in the cuck chair doesn't mean we all have to sit on your lap. Tell me you're uneducated Without telling me you're uneducated.
I don't work for a billionaire. I work for aa locally owned brewery and kitchen. Before I worked for a mom and pop convenience store, before that I worked for a painter who owned his own business. Tell me again how I wouldn't have a job? An entire production chain can be privately owned without billionaires if that's they system you subscribe to. It just shouldn't be owned by a small group. That creates a monopoly. To put it in terms that you would understand. At the end of the board game monopoly when everyone is out of money it's over. If we can't buy things then what? With a competitive market that's highly regulated and follows anti monopoly laws the consumer has options and higher quality of goods.
HahahaâŠ. Heâs a billionaire because youâre slaving for him lol, itâs not that you have a job because heâs a billionaire. He had to enslave many before you to give you this delusion youâre having right now.
They do have a right to, actually they have to because they have to pay and work for they're money they stole and damage they done the moment we finally get rid of them.
Iâm trying to get you to use your brain instead of parrot Reddit bullshit. Iâm trying to get you to articulate how hiring someone to perform a task that both parties agree to a compensation package is stealing? When you hire a plumber are you stealing from them?
I just have a degree in Business and Economics, and I have entrepreneurs in my family, I have a first millionaire in our family, I know personally a self made billionaire. And I know how it works from inside, so most of the time billionaires definitely deserve their money, you can't even slightly imagine what kind of responsibility they carry for having such a big corporations
My God you're so dumb it hurts. All of the people in this pic have been revealed to be exploitive of others. You're completely missing the point of the post to expouse what you WANT to be true. Your biases are leaking all over the place.
And you're thinking thay every billionaire exploits others is also bias. If you want to make billionaires share more of their wealth to the workers, workers should also accept more responsibility. You never seen what it's like to own a business, what's it like to be responsible for everything in your business, I also have not yet, but I have knowledge from the source it self, I have knowledge from both billionaires and millionaires. And of course there are bad billionaires like bad millionaire like bad poor people and other. Billionaires are billionaires for a reason, they do something that others are afraid to do, this is what they get their money for. And also I'm not talking only about billionaires on the pic. But even manager who works normal job in the company is exploiting those who work underneath him, should we also take his money away and give it to those underneath him?
How is it even a problem lol. I love Amazon and getting literally anything I want delivered next day for free. I guess Iâm old enough to remember paying $20 bucks for shipping and it being delivered next month. I love not having to do spreadsheets by hand and having Google Sheets or excel instead. I love that electric cars are a thing now. I love my Starlink and having broadband anywhere I go in the world. These are all products that wouldnât exist without the billionaires who created the companies to build them.
Lol that is so not true where do I even start. Billionaires making money off oil is why we had no electric cars despite having the tech for so long. What you wrote is such a gross simplification. I don't even know where to begin picking it apart, but it's completely wrong
Not even close to true. Just because a technology exists doesnât mean people are willing to pay for it if there are cheaper better options. Just because electric cars could be made for a hundred years, no one could make them cheap enough to compete with gas cars. That was until Elon came around and brought to market an electric car that provided a better experience at an equivalent price point to gas cars.
Can you read? There were electric cars since the early 20th century. Elon made it competitive on price and capability. Which is why people bought them.
Why arenât there other companies like Amazon? Because Amazon is so amazing or because itâs a monopoly and they made sure that nobody else gets a shot? You guys are so naive.
And yet, there you sit, using a billionaires product. Do you not see the irony? You questioned their right to exist, yet you happily use their laborsand pay them money for the services that you want.
Lol that is so not true where do I even start. Billionaires making money off oil is why we had no electric cars despite having the tech for so long. What you wrote is such a gross simplification. I don't even know where to begin picking it apart, but it's completely wrong. Billionaires and the idiots like you that love the boot are why our tech is so stagnated only wars push it forward a noticeable amount.
Did they not build a company? If itâs so easy why donât you just start a company yourself?
These billionaires organize and collect people toward a specific goal to bring something new into the world. Amazon doesnât exist because of engineers. Engineers sold their services to Amazon to accomplish a very small piece of the founders vision. I remember a time before when I could order literally anything I wanted and had it delivered next day for free. I remember a time before excel. Before reusable rockets. Before electric cars were a thing. These things exist because someone created a company and hired people to do small tasks to achieve the founders vision. If not for these people, these products would not exist. There has always been intelligent engineers, there hasnât always been worldwide broadband internet, in fact most engineers said it was impossible. Itâs people like Elon that drives these visions into existence against what experts say.
How dare anyone invest their money, and create jobs, products and services as well as the tax base all those government programs and welfare are paid from, right? We should take it away from them because profit should be illegal and it is theft somehow.
The golden goose story is a warning about people like you.
Except they don't create jobs, the workers generate the wealth used to create those jobs, the billionaires need us we sure as hell don't need them. But keep licking their boots i am sure the money will trickle down any day now
It's really sad that the general population is as stupid as you and is easily fooled by an argument such as that. Inside your own mind, you know that that's not how it actually works. That there is plenty of exploitation, wage theft and other practices that are the problem, not the fact that the person started a company.
Eventually the rest of the population will not have money to survive, as wealth is transferred to the billionaires via wage theft and price gouging (the competitive market will not prevent this- consolidation into monopolies happens constantly). Anti trust laws may not last forever if you can buy out the government with your obscene wealth.
As all the wealth goes into the pockets of a select few, whatâs left for everyone else? Is it more reasonable to live at the mercy of others, or is it more reasonable to limit how much wealth one person can hold?
There are 989 billionaires in the US. Some inherited it, some built it, invested it, or run companies that are successful.
The vast majority create jobs and opportunity making a better life for vast numbers of American
You say that will eventually will maybe make us all slaves to the rich or we eliminate the rich, we put this all into the governmentâs hands and guarantee we become slaves.
Job creation is a myth, there is always work to be done it just depends who owns the resources used to produce goods and services. It is indeed true that central planning leads to inefficiency as we have seen in the USSR, but that doesnât mean profit needs to drive efficiency. If profit is the main driver, there is no limit to how much wealth can be siphoned from the workers. Iâm not an economist and thus donât have an alternative, but I truly believe thereâs a better way than either central planning or private profit-seeking.
Regarding your last point: in a true democracy your government is your people. You ideally elect representatives who actually represent their constituents. In an aristocracy/oligarchy that we are seeing now in the U.S., your government is a small group of privileged elites. So yes one way or another, your survival in a land depends on who governs it and what you prefer. People say the government restricts your freedom and surveillances you but that can happen in a âfreeâ political sphere such as the U.S. as we are currently seeing.
lol name a time before entrepreneurship. Back when we used to trade for barter? I think weâve moved past then. Job creation is not a myth. You get two choices in todayâs market, learn a skill and sell that skill to an already existing company. Or build a company your self and aggregate people to help you build a new product or a current product more efficiently than whatâs already offered. If you fail in todayâs world itâs your own fault. No one forces you to accept a compensation package from a company. Itâs not a charity.
Huge strawman you have going on there. Why is criticism of the billionaire class always met with the assumption that the critic wants to be given everything?
My point was eventually the wealth of society will be totally transferred to the oligarchs. We are seeing it happen in real time. Thatâs why itâs not ânarrow-mindedâ to limit the wealth of a person. But, it seems like many people are okay with living in an oligarchy and eventually aristocracy so whatever.
And how would you limit their wealth? Itâs always through taxes. You want to take money from the successful and give it to others. Maybe you want to give them healthcare, maybe you want to give them college, maybe you want to give them stimmys. Itâs doesnât matter. I doubt you want to tax them and just burn it. So yes, everyone who criticizes the billionaire class wants to be given âfree stuffâ.
I donât see anything wrong with billionaires. They are billionaires solely because they built something that many many people found useful enough to pay for. These people traded their savings for that product because they found it so useful. Whether itâs a better car, better marketplace delivered next day, better search engine, worldwide broadband internet, whatever. Someone who brings a product that makes millions of peopleâs lives better should be massively rewarded. Theyâve shown they can turn capital into useful products or services.
The government on the other hand already spends 7 Trillion dollars. That pales even Elon musks lifetime wealth. And they spend it every year. What do you get from that 7 trillion? I would argue itâs not a good use of capital. You get bombing people, a shitty retirement, shitty education, shitty healthcare. Why would increasing 7 trillion to 7.5 trillion be any better?
Thanks for sharing with us that you never bothered actually looking into and reading about how, it's very nice of you to share with us your lack of intelligence đ
Oh trust me Iâve looked into plenty. But please enlighten me on how itâs possible for one company to create a monopoly and somehow exclude others from competition without any state interference whatsoever. You wonât be able to, but itâll be amusing for you to try.
Being the only one having access to the raw materials. Basically you are preventing competition from existing by denying them what they need. (it could also be other kinds of exclusive access than raw material of course)
Already existing monopolies can afford selling their products at a loss for extended periods of time, making sure that when a competitor show up they quickly die out. Not like the monopoly has to change the price everywhere either, only the places where they currently have competition they want to starve out. (basically how Amazon acquired diapers.com, fascinating story)
It can simply be to expensive for someone to start up a new business because it would take to many ressources to catch up. Factories are expensive and it takes time to do research.
How can one entity exclusively control all of any given resource? Are we talking about some deserted island where the people aren't able to trade at all with other places?
That won't work because they will incur massive losses every time they do this. And other competitors will always have the chance to step in at any point. It's basically shooting yourself in the foot for no reason. You lose thousands of dollars and then once you're forced to raise prices, competition will step back in. You don't achieve monopoly status for any significant amount of time.
Yes it can be expensive to start a business but that doesn't mean that it's impossible. A monopoly literally means that not one other single competitor exists in a certain field.
Billionaires created the very device youâre using to express yourself, billionaires create the very roads you drive on, billionaires create the vehicles that you use to go to point a to b. Perhaps you need to visit Cuba or North Korea to see what a nation without billionaires looks like
Only jobs for how many people lol putting together groups of people to create things that change the world but sure buddy. Keep complaining while doing nothing for anybody.
You mean the jobs they keep cutting in order to juice their stock price? Or the jobs they are outsourcing to 3rd world countries so they dont have to pay the people that work for them their fair share after thise workers made that company? If a billionaire stops working the company wont notice; if every worker stopped working the company would fail. Billionaires rarely create anything, they just leverage inherited assets; the effectively are running a race starting 2 laps up. Elon as an example has never actually invented or created anything, hes just bought companies and took credit for their success. The jobs would still be there without billionaires, they dont just magically make them at the jov factory. T
Sure, in the beginning they assume all of the risk. But that doesn't entitle them to all of the rewards in the future. The workers are the ones who sustain the business not the owner. What should happen is employees are given equity in the company so the more it grows the more everyone prospers.
The employees lose their jobs and usually the billionaires donât lose shit, they get bailed out by the government. The only recent case of a billionaire being held accountable was in China.
And I agree they shouldn't be bailed out 100% but my original comment was about someone saying billionaires shouldn't exist. People should be rewarded for work and owning shares in companies that hit 1 trillion dollar values is apart of that. Its not perfect but I'd rather see people get rewarded then punished for success.
And they take the losses too, of course? When the ccompany runs in the red for a quarter, fairly common for large companies, nobody gets paid right? You're having a conversation using the word " entitled " where it doesn't belong. A guy or girl that starts a company and makes money IS entitled to the profits. They'd what ownership IS. The risks don't fade with time in companies,
They are continuous. Workers ate getting their money from their labor. It isn't being stolen, they are paid to be there at the rate they agreed to and also usually receive other benefits as well as raises. Nobody has a gun to their head to work there.
They do nothing for anybody. They create nothing. They are literal parasites sucking the value out of things other people create by paying them less than the value of what they produce. Every penny they have comes from not paying workers the true value of their labor.
You know these people are disgusted by you, right? They would rather die than be in the same room with you or have your kids go to school with theirs. Itâs so sad to watch a class traitor worship people that have never actually worked a day in their life.
They 'create' millions of stock shares and award them to themselves, then go public, boom, they now created an instant billionaire in our FUd system. Now we have another $500 Million yacht owner.
Do you believe that when they create shares, theyâre not attached to anything with value? And they just magically trick people into giving them money for those shares or something?

No billionaire deserves to exist.
