A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I’m not following. You’d be ok with risking beheading to overthrow a monarch. But you won’t overthrow a corporate CEO?
You think corporations don’t exist under monarchy?
no, I don't. They have far more complex structures. Just because you remove a CEO, does not mean the whole company will go away. How many CEOs have been fired and replaced? Plenty. These companies still remain though, corrupting everything around them.
I will say I'm the UK we still have a king that we couldn't physically overthrow although we could possibly remove them constitutionally if the democracy aligned in that direction. However we do still have amazon here.
I think the difference between UK and US for workers rights comes from how we treat lobbying differently.
