CEOs instead of students!
Truly. That’s why they like yachts. Deep in their hearts, they yearn for the Sea. They know they are meant to become one with it!
That’s completely inappropriate. That boulder could be turned into a statue.
IDK. I’m thinking more a giant bronze statue of Luigi would be more appropriate. Interesting enough, those things aren’t as expensive as you might think. Some googling suggests a cost of between $25k-250k for a life sized bronze statue. That’s a lot for an individual, but well within the realm of crowd funding. I say we place it on a main road outside UHC’s headquarters in Minnesota. Make the bastards drive past it every single day on the way to work.
What if we start killing board members instead of just CEOs, you know, the puppet masters along with the puppet.
While we are at it, also any billionaires to
You can’t murder your way out of a situation you didn’t murder yourself into.
Technically speaking humanity did murder itself out of feudalism and into capitalism
They started it, we just need to finish it.
Not with that attitude.
There’s no shortage of steel that I’m aware of, and chain production is entirely automated at this point. So why not?
This is my biggest frustration with these posts. We might not like it, but CEOs are still working class. Most of their wealth is derived from a paycheck. They aren’t even the owning class. They’re rich AF, but they’re a symptom more than a problem.
CEOs are not working class dumbass hahahaha
Working class means your primary wealth generation tool is selling your labor. The compensation plans vary widely, but I think most CEOs are earning most of their wealth through a salary vs returns on things they own.
You can hate it all you want, but that’s what working class means.
They’re mostly paid in stock options.
According to Forbes, on average 60% of CEO compensation is equity. In short, I was wrong. My bad!
Ok genius, what’s the"labor" provided by a CEO? How do horizontal organizations like cooperative manage without that piece of labor? Do you know what a traitor of it class is? It’s the reason police don’t get the working class title either, they are watchdogs that provide no labor value, just means of control for the ruling class. Fuck capitalism, CEOs, the police, and everyone collaborating with oppression.
I don’t think value to society weighs into the equation, just the ratio of salary to ownership wealth gain.
There are bad people in the working class that are a net detriment to society, just as there are good people in the owning class that are a net benefit. Those good and bad deeds don’t change how they accrue wealth and therefore don’t change their class.
This working class isn’t a morality judgement, it’s a wealth ratio per individual.
Can’t we do this another way? That’s a waste of a perfectly good rock.
Tie them all together with a floating rope at the wrists to waists. They will eventually tire out, when they do they will sink themselves, once they have provided value to the fishes and other sea life then the rope will float back to the top and you can start all over with another group of valuable market leaders.
There’s no shortage of rocks at our disposal. If it’s the labor costs you’re worried about, I suppose we could force the CEOs to quarry and carry their own rock.
so does this mean y’all guys are finally coming around on utilitarianism?
Why aren’t we seeing this type of energy towards politicians? They’re the ones making the laws that companies exploit.
You think politicians are the ones who write the laws? You wouldn’t happen to be a CEO would you? If so, I do believe you yearn for the Sea…
That’s the silliest thing I’ve heard in a while
I’m not hearing a no. Do you hear the waves? They call to you!
You’re telling me to kill myself? And you’re getting upvotes? Lemmy has changed. Then again, Lemmy has always had a hard-on for politicians. Enjoy the circlejerk.
Because in fine, it’s the companies and lobbies that bribe them. You can have ethical politicians, but there are hardly any ethical CEOs/board members.
I think the rates of ethical people across the two are the same. Just have to relate the politicians to the same ranking as a CEO/board member.
We are just replenishing the world’s supply of low radiation steel. In a thousand years scientists will be so thankful.
Oh my god, that scene in the beginning of Amistad just flashed back in my head. I had completely blocked it for like 25+ years and now it is back, oh god, I feel sick.
Well, that’s something I’ll actually apologize for. This is meant to be a humorous vent, not PTSD inducing.
No worries, no need to apologize, I enjoyed your post :)
Well, I suppose it’s PTSD-inducing if someone is a health insurance CEO. But if that’s the case…TO THE SEA WITH YOU!!
Polluting the sea is not cool either
Also rocks can be valuable too
Hey… Boulders ain’t cheap either.
Could we not go for a more sustainable solution? I’m sure they’d make a pretty decent fertiliser.
The CEOs will be fully recycled by sea life. Steel is just iron and carbon, no real damage to the environment as they rust away. And boulders are inert. And we can make sure the CEOs are dressed in suits made of all natural fibers when we chuck 'em in the drink!
Also the boulder
Pipneers used to ride those babies for miles.
It’s a very neat boulder.
I guess this meme only applies to America?
In most European countries, you pay for your insurance by contributing a certain percentage of your wages to your insurance company and a retirement payout company. Of course, you don’t have to bother with that, since your employer does this in most cases (if you’re not a contractor). I think this is a better strategy than just paying from what you have.
In the Netherlands your pension fund is withheld from your wages (partially a mandatory government fund, partially a fund your employer might select).
My previous employer invested about 1% of my wages into the fund, which was quite shite. My current employer invests 10% and has a significantly better return.
Health insurance is a monthly cost you pay on your own (starting at around € 120 / mo). It’s a € ~350 yearly deductible and coverage is mostly decided by the government. Any additional coverage is your own choosing and comes at a premium.
As you can only switch contracts on a yearly basis, comparing health plans is effectively a Christmas tradition for all Dutch citizens.
Everybody wants a rock to wind their CEOs around.
…and a cool ass boulder.
Yes, I suppose the boulder has some value as well.
The boulder will still be cool under the sea. And also, under the sea that ceo finally has some real value. As food.
It probably has some nice bouldering problems to try!
Ha, that was a V12+ joke!
This! You have any idea how much people pay for boulders to landscape their yards? A small one about the size of a nightstand can cost 300+.
Can we just put them all in submarines and promise it will be different this time?
