Sure, we destroyed the planet but for a brief moment we created more value for shareholders.

[–] BooBees@fedinsfw.app 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That brief moment has lasted since the 80s

In the grand scheme of the entire evolutionary history of Earth, the 1980s to now is an INCREDIBLY small slice.

This is the year of corporations selling out for big profits. Everyone loses, not at first but for sure eventually. Short term gains for permanent damage.

The United States paid out billions to corporations for the bullshit tariffs after those corporations already charged the customer and guess what they're doing it again and they're going to get paid out again and Americans are just going to remain the cucks

At what point do we, as the proletariat, swear vengeance on the ownership class, who actively conspired across decades to starve us out and enslave us?

When people start starving en masse.

It doesn’t get mentioned a lot, but that’s what it took for the French Revolution too. We haven’t even started eating horses yet (though there aren’t even 1% of the number of horses there were in cities back then). Gonna have to be cats and dogs instead.

Sadly, it's not easy to organize twelve million Americans.

At a minimum, end stock buybacks

Almost like there's a cause and effect relationship there...

layoffs=record profits

[–] RockBottom@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago

So inflation will stop anytime now ...

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 3 points 1 week ago

Surely it will trickle down soon...
