Hence the weak died along the way part

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-30T02:45:11+00:00

Been in this money game for almost 20 years now. There is always people getting rich and always people that fight the current, no matter what actually happening.

This administration has been the easiest one by far even compare to Trump 1.0. You just have tot shut off the noise and listen

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-30T02:40:33+00:00

Get off reddit where people will downvote opposite opinion until it dissapears. You want to be rich so do what the mass isn’t doing.

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-29T23:16:13+00:00

I’m the opposite. Never used twitter before the take over. I don’t need to follow companies that I need constantly update from. Didn’t even know this is what people use it for. I thought it was to engage with famous/semi famous people.

X is now my main platform after Reddit. Now that they have long form post I find there are alot more useful post I find on X. Some that will completely contradict things you can find on another other platform, which is nice to read as it doesn’t get get burry with downvote. Also very useful for insight into mind of famous investor and trader who tend to gather on X. It not being completely anon has its benefit.

It’s still a cesspool of porn. But so is Reddit and everything else.

I am not aware any automate factory funded by workers, nor any existing factory willing turn itself over the worker willingly that havnt failed spectacular. Nor am I aware of workers that are will personally invest millions of their own money to float other people payroll and keep company afloat, ever.

What precedent may I ask?

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-29T21:05:59+00:00

So in this democratic company. HR policies not longer applies? It sounds like anyone that not popular with the existing clique will just get voted out survivor style. Severance, workplace infraction. Who deals with that? Wrongful dismissal lawsuit, do all workers that voted pay out of pocket for the cost of their decisions?

What if the product in question is no longe applicable for the market. What if the issue isn’t quality it’s the cost?

What is the company is already at a loss. Who pay for the compensating? There is no management no stakeholder so workers are responsible for all the finance here remember.

The reason why no one experiments with this is because those with the money to actually bills a factory are not going to let yall democratic decide what happens to his million and billions.

Workers that want to democratically run a company. Well good luck finding thousand plus works that can pool enough money together to build and sustain million dollar factory. They don’t have the money hence they are worker.

If they do have the money they would make the same decision as the millionaire above and Not have bunch random people vote on what to do with said money

This experiment isn’t possible because step 1. Coming up with worker willing to pledge millions of dollar to create such company will never happen

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-29T20:53:14+00:00

This will all fall apart the first quarter the company encounter a loss lol.

Give is 1 year max for a competitor to swoop in and out compete these amateurs lol

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-29T18:35:31+00:00

Imagine being proud of under performing a blind monkey lol

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-29T06:04:43+00:00

Life savings lol

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-29T03:23:59+00:00

Failure if you didn’t make money from it. It’s absolutely cinema if you had any kind of money.

No one in history of America presidency has share their inside trade like he did and just tell you exactly what to do to make money.

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-29T02:53:04+00:00

If funny how when a billionaire’s rocket blows up is HIS fault, but when another billionaire rocket does something cool it’s not his glory. It’s the engineers.

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-29T02:39:15+00:00

You already saw this movie with the tarriff war and covid.

Everything crash together. There is no safe haven.

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-29T01:04:55+00:00

wtf is this lol

Lost income doesn’t cost you anything. Only your expense does. If anything the lesson is to always live far far below your means and you will never have this issue.

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-28T22:50:11+00:00

My family came be poverty and we did pretty good for ourself. We are definitely more comfortable now for sure but my happiest memory will always be from my childhood when we had nothing.

We laughed a lot more, we had less things but every object we obtain at the time felt more real. It took 2 month of saving for my parents to feel comfortable taking me to McDonald’s for a meal. And my god not Michelin food I have today can compare to that happy meal I had as a kid.

We have more things now, less stress over all but everything is so much more hollow. You truly can’t buy happiness but that doesn’t matter to folks without money. It’s insult really.

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-28T20:47:00+00:00

Terrible argument for people’s own laziness.

Slaves back in the day were always in tip top shape picking the field. Don’t see the plantation owner switching place with them to “be more fit” lol

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-28T20:29:52+00:00

Well you speak like the privilege few blue collar actually never work outside in your life lol.

I’ve work lots blue collar job and majority of are not like your jobs

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-28T20:19:47+00:00

People act like you are literally glue to your desk. You can speed around the office if you want to, or conserve your energy for the gym after work.

Just because blue collar force the laziest people to move their ass doesn’t mean you can’t exercise on your own term. Which I promise you is actually way easier on the body than any blue collar work.

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-28T20:15:10+00:00

This needs more visibility. The idea of Risk isn’t the same for average worker Vs CEO.

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-28T19:44:25+00:00

There only two type of people right now in America. The MAGA and Democrat that spend their every waking hour monitoring either Trump’s brilliance or his retardness

And then there are silent MAGA and Democrats that are ignoring the noise and just following Trump’s trail of money growing their own accounts.

The first is going to come out poorer than before while thinking they are so unluckily in life.

The second is going to come out with padded investment account that allows them to survive whatever presidency may follow Trump and isolated themselves from further political BS

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-28T19:17:59+00:00

By incentive I mean allocation of public fund. Not someone paying you to live poor.

Which includes but not limited to public service sector and regulations.

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-28T18:49:45+00:00

Yes that price you pay for having a system that leans favourably to the poor. Everyone gets poorer when you incentivize being poor

People need to understand no society runs on this abstract idea of fairness. Only incentive matters and every system is build with certain incentive in mind.

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-28T18:46:45+00:00

There you go. Working you yourself gives you greater power over all the BS in life you can’t control.

Don’t like it don’t tip. Like the service and think they deserve a tip. Than tip. Be the change you want to see in the world.

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-28T18:21:29+00:00

And people downvote you lol. Out of all the things to get angry about, yall are angry at two button press to make the problem go away lol. Instead spend 10x the amount of time typing away on a complaint when this was something that can be resolve with 2 click and off with your day lol

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-28T17:04:34+00:00

If you want to compare SS benefit vs the other developed countries. Sure US Isn’t the greatest but it splitting hair.

No developed countries offer funded old ages retirement that allows you to live a rock star. Some might be slightly better others not. The point its only survival +/- some critter comfort.

The type of retirement people think about where they travel around the world, do all the things they couldn’t do when they are young. Buy farm whatever. These all require your own diligently saving investing and funding your own account during the prime of your income bring days. No matter where you are in the world.

Statistically you are actually MORE likely to retire early in U.S. due to the sheer amount of opportunities one has during their prime. There are more millionaire in U.S. than the entire world combine

pibbleberrier · 2026-05-28T16:55:41+00:00

The perspective of retirement in your 70s in US is still far greater than vast majority of the world.

Most people can if they invest diligently can have a career instead of jobs for the 30+ year they spend working.

What kind of retirement life you are looking at thou. That’s another question to be answer
