Always remember, folks...this kind of income inequality is a choice.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

We keep choosing to let it happen. I don't understand people and the billionaire worship.

“A Bug’s Life” was a pretty good movie.

He doesn't need it; but enough is never enough

Enough to fill the black void in his soul.

In the future billionaires shouldn't exist. Current billionaires shouldn't be allowed to exist.

Haven't we already established that the middle class has joined the working class? There's only two now. Us and them.

[–] Arcanepotato@crazypeople.online 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The use of the term "middle class" as "not poor" is relatively recent, and likely as a result of the efforts to divide the working class.

The working class is anyone who relies on wages for their survival. Middle class has meant several things, including the new and powerful class that led the French Revolution (middle between the aristocracy and peasants). In Marxism it refers to small business owners who are still beholden to large business owners, professionals (like, professions: doctor, lawyer, engineer) or middle managers. They either profit from the wage earners or earn a salary to oversee them.

Some people do not agree with the inclusion of middle management or professionals because they still depend on their wages (salary) to survive.

The idea that a unionized auto worked would be called middle class is silly, according to these older definitions.

[–] KryptonNerd@slrpnk.net 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

In the UK we use middle class to mean something much closer to its Marxist definition. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, managers, and small business owners would generally be considered middle class (basically if you can afford to shop at M&S or Waitrose). The term middle class in the UK also can encompass people who should be included in the term upper/ruling class, such as CEOs, but due to our weird historic class system in the UK I think there is a higher threshold for being considered upper class here.

[–] Arcanepotato@crazypeople.online 1 points 8 hours ago

I kind of see it from the other direction, the US and canada can only exist if the serfs (I'm being hyperbolic no need to correct me) don't believe they are serfs.

The historical middle class left the UK to set up a new aristocracy and need compliance, so the.american dream is built to make class a meritocracy.

[–] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Petite-bourgeoisie was a word before middle class

Oh, don't they both come from the era of the French Revolution?

Agree that bourgeoise is older than that.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 day ago

What's ironic is that he's making a sales pitch for society outlawing his job. He's telling us that he's not worthy of being a member of our society as clearly as he can, but he doesn't even realize it.

Because look if AI is going to make everyone's life go to hell then all we need to do is change our governments and change the laws and get rid of those evil pieces of s*** who destroyed our society. In the end it really is that simple. Which doesn't make it easy.

But actually it's all a bubble so it's not going to happen anyway.

[–] golinux@fedia.io 39 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There is this very small number of these tech bros and CEOs who at least try to appear “normal” and “relatable” with various levels of success. This guy though is literally begging for somebody to meet him in a dark alley with a baseball bat.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which tech bros attempt to appear normal? Lol

[–] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Well, there are a whole lot of quiet ones. Normal? No.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

This tracks. I fish and a Karp is a bottom feeder.

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

What he fails to mention, however, is that the product of the company of which he is CEO is by no means intended to protect a country’s citizens from harm, but rather to prevent them from defending themselves against unscrupulous, anti-social monsters like him.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 5 points 1 day ago

These guys see a bad economy as desirable. They want 10% unemployment and 0% interest rates.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 20 points 1 day ago

I predict his ass will find out how well people eat cake once they have nothing to lose.

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's "sounding the alarm," but not offering to do anything about it. Just sounds like someone who is having the earliest revelation that he doesn't want to become dinner.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And he'll do anything to fix the situation, except stop getting richer. That's non negotiable.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

"bummer guys, it really is terrible, right? 🤷🏼‍♂️"

[–] VoodooAardvark@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 day ago

I mean… he’s not wrong… just an asshole.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

As long as I have enough money to buy ammo, it'll all work itself out in the end.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Won’t someone please think of and defend the innocent billionaire?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 10 points 1 day ago

That was his and all the other surveillance state bros' plan.

Taika Waititi should play the next Bond villain.

Unless he dies. Then his money isn't worth a damn, at least to him
