If they wanted more money they should work harder and increase their value.

Don't they hate any form of unions or worker rights?

I heard the workers of wallmart need another job to survive, because the salary is so ridiculous low, you would be homeless tryiing to pay for a home, car, food and electricity with it.

USA hate the things rich people hate.

Surviving primarily on Wal-Mart wages, which rich kleptocrats love other people to do, means that the workers end up on public assistance, which rich kleptocrats hate the concept thereof.

Or they starve and die. And on that subject, rich kleptocrats are �\_(ツ)_/�

Guys, guys, guys, this cartoon gave me a GREAT idea. What if the government did something where they would, like, collect a small amount of each person's earnings every year, then in return used that money to fund things that benefit the citizens, like the schools? And, and, and if these programs ever need more money, the government could just collect a higher percentage of the earnings!

And America hates unions because they protect employees' rights. Make no mistake here: when somebody says "I hate X unions", what they really mean is "I wish I got more easily get away with making GBS threads all over X".

I've noticed that people who hate teachers, by some strange coincidence, always struggle to articulate their thoughts well. It's almost like they're victims of a society that doesn't invest in making teaching an exciting and sought-after profession.

Yep, so many when asked why they hate unions they'll say it's because they make it hard to fire someone, as if that's some sort of bad thing.

When many Americans see union-backed positions with good benefits, good pay, institutional clout, and respect, their first instinct is "lazy union moochers!" in lieu of "wow, my work should have these things for our workers too." It's something very much ingrained in our national psyche these days. The idea of collective anything w/r/t workers' rights sounds to many Americans like you're speaking in Esperanto.

There's a lot of effort invested in the message that the reason your job sucks is because you can't fire the useless guy that takes four weeks to change a light bulb and if you do it you'll get in trouble.

There's an ancient fuckhead at my job who complains about all that a lot. He'll rant at anyone who'll stand close to him long enough about the time he was at our customer's facility and had to wait for someone who was union to get off break so that he could do his thing. There's an irony to it since he was retired for about 6 months before crawling back.

SHY NUDIST GRRL: Feb 15, 2011; Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

"ACME safety net"?

Don't ACME products always suck? So even if the net was there it wouldn't do any good.

Unless I'm an idiot and ACME is a reference to something other than Looney Tunes.

Acme was a really popular company name in the first half of the 20th century and the Looney Tunes people used it in the cartoons because almost all their equipment was made by Acme

But remember in order to attract top managerial talent you need high salaries.

"Everyone else should work for the love of their labor and not worry about compensation. Not me though. If you take a penny out of my salary to pay for anything, even if I benefit from it I will scream like a dying rabbit." is pretty much the ethos of this country.

I think that's a somewhat apt comparison, despite the :godwin:

Latuff makes for a great propagandist / Goku threesome artist. I'd rather discuss a thousand Latuffs than one Muir, if only because my eyes won't fall out of their sockets.

wow

his reasoning is literally "this job sucks so we shouldn't raise the wages for it because then you'll attract people who wouldn't put up with it at the current rates and that's bad for some reason"

Y'know, running a private corporation is also a pretty stressful job. Maybe we should cut CEO salaries. That way we'd cut out the people who aren't really called to do it.

I can't fault his logic. Look how well paid Alabama senators are, and how it attracts the kind of people like McGill. If Senators were barely paid enough to skim the poverty line, then it'd be a real calling and only people who aren't looking at just making big bucks would become politicians.

Beeler is a Clinton supporter, I guess.

6
They even got so far as to personalized the Big Bag of Money. I mean, it's a small gesture, but a simple "$$$" just lacks that human touch.

7
Well versed in physiology, the donkey is aware that voting for Sanders is actually voting from the gut.

8
