      You would be surprised how much abuse people will tolerate to have some semblance of “peace” in their life.

      You’re in the class war, even if you don’t fight back.

        I mean, industry after industry is going on strike over shit like this. Pretty sure that’s the opposite of abiding.

        You don’t understand paying people as little as you can, while extracting as much as you can for yourself? You don’t understand allowing people to starve because profits are more important? You don’t understand bombing children because a couple companies need some new money?

          Well, that’s what I expect when I work for someone else. Even as a business owner, why would you want to pay your employees more than you need to? And you’re actually getting upset that some big corporate company does this? Unreal.

          You can always get another job that pays more, start your own business, or, as we see here, go on strike. Also, I don’t understand where you got ‘bombing children’ from. Even if you’re right, I really don’t know why you think it would be different under any other economic system, but go on.

            Society can’t function when people only care about themselves, countries with robust social safetynets are happier. For all the GDP and mega yachts we generate, we’re 23rd.

            And have the thing we crow about as our thing, when we’re pathetic for that in the developed world, upward mobility. We’re 27th.

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

            Our culture hyper-individualism is quite honestly inhuman, it’s a perverse point of pride to have about this cesspool of greed and rewarded sociopathic behavior, yet many do, smh.

            Capitalism must be heavily regulated straight jacked to work for society if it is to work at all. We subsist in service to our economy here.

            At this point, I think the right side of the political spectrum is a different way to describe the left side of the Dunning-Kruger chart.

    I’m confused by this picture. Why are they standing in formation? And why are there only signs in the center?
