Most of the last 150 years was far too progressive for them, but they were at least alive 50 years ago and able to say “back in my day” even if they were still under their parents wings and had to make no real decisions of their own.

The probpem isnt that someone suggested it and every shareholder was like “duh, why didnt we think of that?” Its that its the inevitable conclusion of a system where profit is the main (and generally only) determination of success. Individuals within said corporations or shareholders can have other ideals, but ultimately they will be less successful and have less of a say in how things are run.

Capitalism is a winner take all system based on economic prisperity, so those who maximise profit over all else will end up taking it all. You would have to fundamentally change our economic systems to make any kind of significant difference.

Just have to toss in that hundred grand into his own personal social media site and you can have all the inside info you want!

Yeah, its not the CEOs that ultimately make these decisions, theyre just the figurehead for the board. The board being the spokespeople for the shareholders.

Though, even if you replace the image on the right with one depicting a board of directors or a shareholder meeting, it wouldnt be accurate. Theyll do whats in their best interest and no further. Even if it fucks the rest of the world over.

Nah, 50 years ago was the best world for them.

They did, just because you chose not to understand them doesn’t make it otherwise.

Every state and local primary? Every congressional primary?

You know there’s an election more than once wvery four years, right? And those other elections tend to have a much greater impact on individuals than any national election.

But sure, the president is literally the only election that ever matters. And while you didnt cross that line, plenty of other people who did show up were more than happy to. Only they chose the much worse options.

Theyre still tools, still utilities. Just because douchebags are using them in power games more often doesn’t make them any less so.

People could also show up to primaries. People could have been showing up for the past several decades.

This is not a situation that has just spontaneously happened, this has been happening since voting has been a thing.

The reasons those democrats have the power they do is because we keep letting them.

So, like some sort of dog, not dog draft?

I’m pretty sure thats patently obvious for anyone not being needlessly pedantic.

I’m pretty sure a majority of Canadians have been resisting far more than Carney has since his tenure began.

I think it’s been in development hell for a while. I believe a director or producer either dropped out or was removed from it recently.

How dare you help provide context instead of mocking people who don’t get it. This is the internet, non-gender-specific-sir.

Yeah, I mean it’s not like a lot of those services are already populated by people who are underpaid and overworked because they love what they do and love helping people…

I think UBI is generally seen as something to do instead of that, a way to put off actually providing for people so that they can continue to funnel capital from the regularly well-off to the obscenely well-off while blaming it on the poor and the increasingly shrinking “middle-class”.

Why not do that before UBI?

UBI is a bandaid to keep capitalism propped up by neo-liberals. It’s contingent on the idea that society is dependent on people spending money, rather than getting essential services and enough free time to maintain mental stability.

Bro all names are made up.
