Look at that 275lb (320?) bag of piss wrapped up in a cheap looking 10k suit shitting his pants. Nubby little fingers. Weird nubby mushroom member (this is from a a legal deposition)

Clearly demented and so insecure he can’t even ask for help.

Dude is in over his head.

The stress is gonna kill him. He knows it that’s why he’s not working.

He is not looking healthy

If he's angry, he doesn't look that bad. If he's just listening, he doesn't look great, almost deflated looking.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If he's just pretending* to listen

Ftfy. Everyone knows he never listens.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago

His short term memory is shot anyway, actually listening won’t matter.

I hope you're right, but I think like Putin he lives on pure motivated hatred and spite.

Kissinger lived till 99. Hatred seems to impart longevity somehow.

Incentivize it, you living malediction. Expand healthcare to allow more hours, increase overtime pay, make it easier to start a business, personally turn a few billionaires into pulp within a massive stadium housing solely seats, cameras, screens, a long spool of rope, and a single woodchipper. Frankly, these aren’t big asks.

I think one of those industrial grinders that grind up engines and stuff would be even better. Just run it at extra slow speed as you lower them in.

For anyone keeping count, that's about a day and a half per week.

They did the math!

[–] [email protected] 22 points 21 hours ago

Just for that I'm playing games my entire shift.

I thought the amount of time he golfs would be higher. Every time he golfs we pay the taco when he stays at his properties.

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 15 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

given he only complains about juneteenth, he is saying that black people should work harder.

His base legit acts like a class of peasants for this man. It is the most insane thing to watch in real time.

Every MAGA is going to volunteer to work on Saturdays, and every holiday, right? Dear Leader requires it.

Given how worker production increasing over time and pay for said production have not stood in line with each other I think I’d rather not.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 15 hours ago

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."

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Frankly, I'd really rather that the Irish Star not encourage him to be spending more time making policy.

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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 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.
