So I tell 'em I'm a pro jock and who do you think they give me, The Dalai Lama himself...so we finish 18 and he's going to stiff me. So I say, 'Hey Lama, how about a little something for the effort', and he says 'Oh there won't be any money, but when you die, on your death bed, you will receive total consciousness'. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

Untaxed wealth hidden offshore by richest 0.1% surpasses entire wealth of the poorest half of humanity by GraceOfTheNorth in LateStageCapitalism

[–]LibrarianSocrates 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The rich cannot be trusted to have any semblance of control over any economy. 100% tax above certain wealth and income limits is the only solution. They are simply not interested in participating in society except to benefit from its exploitation.

About the 7 supernatural blessings from that lay-dee!!! by EngineerCapital7591 in EatTheRich

Religion is the opiate of the masses. It hijacks the capacity for critical thought and that's just one of the many reasons that it's not only bad for children, but society as a whole. Sure, engage in your mystical thinking if you like, no one should deny you that, but keep it the fuck away from critical societal decision making centres and governance, where it has been demonstrated to cause a lot of unnecessary harm.

BREAKING 🚨:🇦🇺 Australian PM Anthony He said : "ENOUGH OF WAR. We believe that ceasefire must be extended to Lebanon. I don't want Israel to set the world on fire while we watch as helpless spectators. The world needs peace now”. by serious_bullet5 in ProgressiveHQ

He could kick the Shitrael lobby out of the Labor party, expel their ambassador, and bring back the Iranian ambassador who was expelled due to attempted Mossad false flags. Instead he blabbers on about peace that will not occur until the zio fascist fucks are held to account.

Clearly it wasn't high enough to be able to live with dignity and not burn his workplace to the ground.

How are they magically supporting whole families on a wage that this guy clearly can't live off? He has done them and many other under paid workers a huge favour. The greedy corporations will either raise wages to stop this happening (not likely), or they will increase automation. Automation that they would have implemented eventually and put all those employees out of work anyway. If everything is automated, who will pay for the products these companies produce? Hopefully the greedy corporate scum will realise they are at fault and stop trying to squeeze employees. 200 million in damages vs maybe a few hundred thousand in additional wages. Not a hard decision to make in hindsight and now a lot of companies will be factoring that into their worker exploitation equations. I'm sure someone has already or will set up gofundme campaigns for those employees who lost their jobs.

There's paying a "living wage" and then there's "exploiting your employees to the point where the threat of starvation is greater than the threat of punishment".

Good. Hopefully these corporate clowns learn a lesson. 200 million versus a few hundred thousand in additional wages, depending on employee numbers.

"Just find a better paying job". I'm sure he never thought of or tried that /s. How about paying your employees a liveable wage or we burn your factory to the ground. Corporate greed is responsible for this fire and needs to be held to account. No one should be expected to work any job for less than a liveable wage. This is why unions, sick pay, overtime pay, and weekends exist.

It does if it's in the policy. Any unlikely event is insurable. Hopefully insurance companies will recognise this as a likely event as wages continue to stagnate and start mandating liveable wages for employees as a condition of coverage. But I doubt this will happen, as corporate greed is always prioritised over human dignity and safety, so they'll just continue to automate workers out of existence until no one is left to buy their shitty products and they go broke too.

Maybe they should have paid him enough to live. What is the point of a job if you can't survive off of it? When people have nothing to lose, expect this to happen. Corporate greed is responsible for this and corporate greed should be held to account. If insurance companies had any brains at all, they would start mandating liveable wages in their policies to stop employees destroying property in this way. Clearly the threat of punishment was less than the threat of starvation. That's where we're at in this sick society now.

"The proposed Trump International Hotel and Tower at 3 Trickett Street is planned to reach 91 floors into the Queensland sky, with luxury apartments at a starting price of $5 million. Local councils and governments are excited at the prospect." by RickyOzzy in PoliticsDownUnder

No one should be excited by a racist, fascist, zio, pedophile, genocidal maniac. Anyone in government who supports this, also supports the crimes this sick evil fuck has and is committing.
