      We are overdue for corporate assassinations. I’ve been saying this for years, and it keeps getting more true.

      Poverty has a death toll, this isnt a game.

      With so many people on the edge of suicide I’m surprised more people aren’t taking out evil along with themselves… Why not? No consequences if you want to die

    “Most importantly, we have to reduce spending to live within our means,” he said, adding that these efforts will “involve some temporary hardship, but it will ensure long-term prosperity.”

        No no no, of course not. If we saved the planet how would we afford to give more tax breaks to Elon Musk?

      When will these conservative dumbfucks learn that austerity never works. They try it over and over in different countries and it literally never works.

        It works just fine for the very wealthy who would never be caught dead using the same underfunded services that the commoners rely on.

          But they don’t understand that if they weren’t such selfish assholes, they’d have it better as well, because society evolves.

          That’s why there were centuries of kings who lived as lavishly as they could, while society went nowhere and people shat in the streets. They still lived in shitty castles without running water.

          They just lack imagination so much and are so afraid of losing status. Dumb fucks.

            The main ingredients of conservatism are greed, hatred and ignorance. Coincidentally these are also the things the Buddha identified as the sources of all human suffering.

              “The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.” ― Socrates

              Greed and hatred weren’t that much of a problem for Socrates apparently, but they both agree that ignorance is fucking bad. And the Greeks had two words for it (at least), separating a lack of ability from a refusal to understand.

              https://howtobeastoic.wordpress.com/2016/01/19/one-crucial-word/

              “The higher, pretentious form of stupidity stands only too often in crass opposition to [its] honorable form. It is not so much lack of intelligence as failure of intelligence, for the reason that it presumes to accomplishments to which it has no right … The stupidity this addresses is no mental illness, yet it is most lethal; a dangerous disease of the mind that endangers life itself. … [S]ince the ‘higher stupidity’ consists not in an inability to understand but in a refusal to understand, any healing or reversal of it will not occur through rational argumentation, through a greater accumulation of data and knowledge, or through experiencing new and different feelings … We may say that the reversal of a spiritual sickness must entail a spiritual cure.”

      He has $270.3 billion dollars, which at $50K per year would take almost 3.5 million years to earn, and he’s preaching to us about cutting back. What a guy.

        He took a bonus of like 60 billion dollars just for running a company that would have been successful without him. That’s money that could have been given to employees that actually make a difference in the company. So again I say F**************CCCKKKK YYYYYYOOOOOOOOO*

    At first I was asking myself why he would admit this but then I realized Trump voters read this and think, “finally, they’ll hurt the right people” and assume they will not be affected.

      Also, they may still be happy if they are affected, as long as the outgroups they hate most are affected worst.

          Oh, absolutely. Umberto Eco pointed out that this is how fascism works.

          The enemy is both weak and strong. “[…] the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

          The Dems are both craven lickspittles who are not manly enough to drive a truck, and yet strong enough to control everything even if they haven’t been in power for a decade.

          As we can see, fascism is bullshit for idiots.

    You’re not supposed to root for the hardship. But oh, what am I saying, he obviously doesn’t mean himself. He’s a special pig, more equal than the rest.
