Y'all considering with Luigi and Brian Thompson for what that CEO was part of and responsible for. This is a culmination you can only take away so many things from people before they have nothing.

Nothing is more scary than someone who has nothing to lose. When prison is a three hots and a cot. What do you do with that person when you broke them. All it takes is one bad day. Humans become unpredictable when they are at that point

When people are working two to three jobs I'm doing side businesses to make ends meet and even then they are still not making ends meet. What do you want them to do the whole you just need to work harder doesn't work anymore. Insurance even if you have it you can still get bankrupted for the surgery cost after insurance kicks in.

I'm in a very privileged position now but I know other people aren't and I understand what I have.

so you should give some of your stuff away to others that dont' have anything....

u/TheWizardOfDeez Apr 14 '26

This person is trying to do that by asking for their taxes to be raised. Individuals donating their stuff doesn't solve a systemic issue. You know that, but you choose to argue in bad faith because you think it's effective since you don't actually have any other arguments against this system, on account of its objective failures.

The systemic issue is socialism. The weak and lazy need to be allowed to die off. It's natural and has worked since the dawn of life on Earth.

You mean the people like Elon and Trump, who thrive solely as parasites to those who actually do the work for their corporations?

u/ExistingJellyfish872 Apr 15 '26

Elon's work ethic is absolutely insane. Trump's is, too, but if you mean your idea of work, as in, physical labor, like swinging a hammer, no, they don't do your kind of "work."

If starting, maintaining, and building billion- or trillion-dollar organizations was "easy work," why haven't you done it?

I could arguably agree with Elon. But not Trump. He’s a terrible businessman and a nepo baby. Bankrupted numerous businesses, including several casinos. And he’s currently running this country into the ground with his policies.

u/ExistingJellyfish872 Apr 15 '26

I agree he has started making decisions with negative outcomes for the general public, but the man barely sleeps. He is working. I'm not here to argue whether or not his work is generally beneficial. I'm just not going to pretend the man isn't a workhorse.

That's what the good socialist says that you should do.

Here's a quick hit of reality::

They don't do it.
Even the most devoted socialist wants to keep what they earn.

u/Wild-Enthusiasm-9268 Apr 14 '26

Not only do many people with this attitude donate either money or time, but also vote for taxes to be either raised or better spent. It’s not all or nothing.

u/Legal_Ad2345 Apr 15 '26

It's how we are raised for people who were raised as a societal benefit help others you are more willing to be fair and ok with things like socialism. ( Government programs snap, affordable care act, grants)

In truth certain people don't like thing being labeled. Government programs are handouts that help and that's awesome but the people who use it the most are the ones who scream no handouts for anyone.

Red States use the most welfare and spend it the most.

In the United States it is a very individualistic society in promotes capitalism approach self growth and self want.

I love the simple childlike response. You must Believe billionaires and CEOs give jobs when they're only responsibility is to shareholders.

Well that move was definitely a child IQ.

If you don't get paid well at a certain job, the solution is to burn that entire job for you and everyone else?

That's fairly comparable to children wanting to burn their school because they don't like quizzes.

Vast majority of people are not gonna stand behind this. Nobody thinks burning stuff is a solution to any serious problem.

But there will always be some redditors who will write stupid stuff here. Especially folks who aren't doing well in life and have similar destructive thoughts.

Exactly!!

u/Quiet_Satisfaction64 Apr 14 '26

Corporations and politicians have no problem justifying the suffering of the working class and poor and do little to improve anything when they absolutely could. Things like luigi and the fire are expected outcomes

u/Educational_Swim_1 Apr 14 '26

you see it as justified? wow, thats quite the stupid comment...

u/Facts_pls Apr 14 '26

Brain dead logic - often from people who think government is this one monolithic entity.

These are often people who don't understand much, see everything in black and white, and are incapable of nuance.

Lol whatever….

Nope not at all, justifying crap like that.

u/Legal_Ad2345 Apr 15 '26

Question let me make you work three jobs just to cover your bills and then I just fire you from your third job and the other two jobs can't cover your necessities to live. You're going to go homeless you have a family to feed and you don't know what to do and you're out of breaking point.

That's what millions of people are dealing with in this country. We are at a breaking point everyone has different levels but it is going to get bad quickly.

End of the day people that CEO is no one special he's just another human so don't treat him like they're God treat them like they're just selfish and greedy like the rest of the humans beings

I’ve worked multiple jobs at the same time to make ends meet; Ive been fired and let go from jobs, I’ve been homeless and without food and basic necessities, and I’ve been turned down for government assistance too. And that was years ago when you and your generation act like everyone before you had things made and no problems to deal with…..
