Not gonna lie, I looked at amazon's 5year stock performance, looked at what they've got in the works regarding warehousing and pharmacutial mergers and I think I'll be buying some stock. Might as well give myself a win win. If they crumble, good. If they go up, well good for me.

I'd still applaud the warehouse worker who throws a board member off the roof.

Haha, classic. What worthless human filth actually posted this first?

In Britain we used cavalry with sabers to suppress demonstrations in favour of expanding the franchise. Suppressing dissent with violence is not solely a vice of the dastardly reds.

Lots and lots of propaganda mixed with "I'll totally be a billionaire some day if I work hard enough" with a smattering of hijacked education thrown in for good measure.

Then you spice it with "it's the best because freedom" and a healthy dose of "well it's the best system that exists despite its flaws so what are you going to do?"

Violence solves nearly every problem if you use enough of it.

Plus you get to write the history books later.

Nah, it's a neat illustration of how the middle class isn't really a thing and everyone who's not a capitalist is working class, even if they're hosed in somewhat different ways. So they should put aside their manufactured differences and combat the forces of capital together to issue in the dictatorship of the proletariat.

You don't want to know how much they spent on design, packaging, manufacturing, logistics to get everyone one of those (I'm assuming terrible tasting) chocolate bars.
