Well yeah
Pensions are fucked globally
Not a single one of you will see any money from it, so better get working
Even better, you guys will probably need to extend the pension age up to 75 or so
Prepare for fun times
The other 78% he reneges on nuclear agreements in place since a decade and threatens war on the behalf of a country that starts with I, probably the Ivory Coast, or maybe Iceland, to blow up another country that starts with I, maybe Italy.
Maybe he sees all these Is and thinks "Yeah, I'm awesome."
As much as I fucking hate the irish star, they have a good headline for once.
Of course, Trump is the biggest business idiot in the country. He was largely elected because he is the big, dumb mascot of business idiots.
I keep seeing Ed's site posted everywhere and we need to promote the HELL out of him!!! It seems he is the only person actually making sense today. I send his articles to everyone I know and urge them to read it.
I realize this is not the onion but does anyone have a different source?
This looks fake
I love that CNN headline. “Is he right?” Instead of “lel”. Absolute ghouls running this world.
our president is a hypocrite?? wow. this is news to me. well thanks for bringing this to light! i'm sure the people will have a change of heart now!
wrong
given he only complains about juneteenth, he is saying that black people should work harder.
Yeah, his comment was most definitely targeted.
ahaha... it gets more tragicomic everyday... Tacos, anyone?
With extra chicken, please
And a side of roast pig
Every MAGA is going to volunteer to work on Saturdays, and every holiday, right? Dear Leader requires it.
"I DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS!!!" - person that voted for the candidate that promised more work without more pay
God only got one day of rest, you deserve more rest than God?
Work harder for my riches, plebs!
"work harder for my riches, you MAGA bitches!"
His base legit acts like a class of peasants for this man. It is the most insane thing to watch in real time.
Also dude looks like he takes 4 hour naps a day, why do we keep electing senior citizens
meh, I did the quiet quit thing a long time ago. not working harder without a nice raise. I'm urging Americans to work less. go on! take that day off! you can do it!
Just for that I'm playing games my entire shift.
The mantra I was told was always 'add value' at your job.
When I read volume one of capital I came to understand that this was willingly giving more of my labour for free on top of the labour capital was already profiting from (after all I am only given a job earning x units/hour as long as capital, via management upwards, earns x+1/units from that labour). Thus wealth trickles upwards in capitalism. Not down.
Everyone bought the 'add value' line and repeated it in work as though the were doing something great - us humans tend to believe what we are told (and once those neural pathways are burned they don't change easily), which is in large part why those without empathy are able to succeed. We need to rely on each other and they don't give a fuck.
Another one is "always use other people's money" (from think and grow rich, or whichever popular book it came from). If you're Elon Musk looking to hedge risk when buying twitter then fair enough, otherwise you go cap in hand to capital, and pay it a portion of the wealth you create for the privilege of being loaned the capital to begin with. Capitalists want you to use other people's (actually their) money in order that they can take their cut of your hard work.
I'd recommend Thomas Piketty's 'Capital in the 21st Century' if you're into the deep economics side of all this. Its a bit dense, but really hammers home the point that the period from ~1940 - 1980 in the US was the ONLY period where wealth inequality was declining and therefore it was easier for people to believe that we lived in a meritocracy of some kind where 'adding value' at work actually did lead to added wages. That period has ended, and now inequality and trickle-up economics are reaching all time highs, with no apparent limit in sight.

This monster feeds on media attention. Let's all stop relating every stupid things he says and focus on basically anything else, it will always be more positive.
