Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Maine. And then large parts of most other states. You do realize more than 50% of America is very in line with most of western Europe… right?

It’s just a stupid idea, and I can only assume you all are talking nonsense for shits and giggles. If you’re remotely serious, you’re insane.

I’m just not interested in arguing on the internet. A conversation is fine, that’s clearly not what you want.

Lol, ok bud. I can tell you’re not interested in a good faith conversation.

You can’t have a serious conversation when you lie or embellish numbers.

I’ll cherry pick two things.

1. Cell phones are less expensive monthly today than they were 15 years ago. You can get unlimited everything with some carriers for 30 a month. 15 years ago it was 59.99 for 1200 minutes, free nights and weekends, and 2000 texts. Internet was another 20 a month.

2. A car with 30k miles isn’t 550 a month right now. I have a 45k car and part just over 600 a month. I bohlught brand new, and spend way more than u needed cause I’m lucky.

You can buy a used car with 30k miles for under 20k if you want. Maybe not a BMW suv, but there’s not what we are talking about here.

Inflation is up. Wages are lagging. But let’s not lie about shit to make a point.

Lol no they don’t, you’re being absurd

Such a good and concise comment.

Lol, that’s not how any of this works

I don’t have any…? Most people don’t I would think.

They almost become 3rd world states in a way

Fuck this is a great comment. Thank you.

Yes. The people in the highest echelons of our society get more time off. Not sure if you’re aware of this or not, but they also get paid a lot more

It’s Memphis, right? There a probably tens of thousands of atheists in Memphis, and basically any big city. Not every person in Tennessee is a Maga christofacist.

Their employer is the government… our tax dollars and voting record is why this happened.

I don’t think the raises would be as big as you think.

700k? For being in charge of one of the biggest websites in history?

That doesn’t seem awful at all.

Just go look up how many businesses there are in America. You can do some rough math based on that, shouldn’t be too hard. It’s amazing you call me a bootlicker over pretty tame comments that really shouldn’t be controversial. You antiwork folk really hate every business owner no matter what, don’t ya?

There are thousands of unproblmatic ceos to every problematic ceo.

You issue is with the top couple hundred businesses. There are literally 100s of thousands of ceos, managers, and leadership individuals who are not part of the problem. Look at the responses here. This group think mob would have you believe every single ceo is Satan.

The issue you’re speaking about is an issue of oligopoles and giant businesses, not ceos and management. It’s a breakdown of economic principles, namely, supply and demand of labor, due to oligopoles.

You really think all ceos and managers do zero work?

You do realize there are closed of companies that aren’t Amazon and tesla, right?

There are literally tens of thousands of ceos of small companies and non profits that work their ass off.

This is why you are being intellectually dishonest. You’re not that stupid, but you won’t admit it.
