I had to deal with some guy at work trying to do some tiktok video and including me in it so I could complement his side gig or some shit (and likely only including me because women get views). And if I complain too much about being included in their grift everyone will shit on me for being a karen or for not helping him with it. Jesus fucking christ, I hate people that try to constantly plaster their face and name on everything to make money. Fuck youtubers, fuck tiktok, fuck ads, stop stealing peoples work for a quick buck ‘by doing commentary’, leave me the fuck alone
Btw, Thinking that billionaires don’t even work is just silly.
Work can mean a lot of things, in many ways Elon Musk could be said to work a lot. But it’s not comparable to what we mean when we normally talk of work. Musk has already amassed more wealth than he can meaningfully spend, regardless of how he uses his time. For all intents and purposes, all his time is free time. He chooses to spend it by laboriously being an asshole.
No it isn’t, that’s the economic reality. Do you think billionaires make that much because of some outrageously high salary or hourly wage? Because that ain’t it. They make their money by having money.
Having money AND taking it from all the people under them. Sorta like a pyramid. It’s sort of a scheme where the top guys get most of the profit while doing the least actual work. I wish we had a term for that. An upside down funnel, of sorts.
Underregulated Capitalism like we have now is just a
