It’s not in YOUR social circle.
Greetings and salutations fellow children, I have come to impart a message from myself, your peer.
(Except that has too many syllables for the real Elon)
Take it from Elon. He knows “based”.
Based is having twelve kids and spending Thanksgiving tonguing Trump’s taint at Mar A Lago
This is what we did before unions, Elon. I mean, he’s not smart, just rich.
Eh I think it does us a disservice to call the rich idiots. Sure some are, but strips agency from them for the real damage they do.
Elon is at least smart enough to turn his emerald slave money into billions.
That’s not a sign of intelligence, it’s just that he had so much money, he could afford to fail a bunch of times, so he could get lucky every once in a while
And this pattern holds across a shitload of rich people too. Singers who could afford to not have to have that waitress job and just focus on promotion. ‘Entrepreneurs’ who got ‘small’ ‘loans’ to start their 10th business that finally hit. Real estate moguls who had actual intelegnt people bring them plans they rubber stamped and claimed to be brilliant businessmen.
They are rich so they must be smart is the biggest pile of bullshit.
Before unions were a thing, if a workforce wanted a raise, it was traditional to say “hey boss, give us a raise, or we’ll burn your fucking factory down”
And now that they’ve made unions all but illegal, we’ll eventually return to that trusted tradition.
Either we settle things collectively and politely, or we settle things not so politely.
This was the whole purpose of our founding fathers.
Kings were getting beheaded. They knew enough that if they didn’t want to watch their backs constantly, they needed to spread power thin.
It’s the point of good faith in government. It goes back to the Code of Hammurabi. We have these laws so that we can all mostly agree on how things should be handled in a reasonable way.
When people can’t rely on laws and justice, eventually blood spills.
These people have been so intent on gathering money and power, they haven’t realized why the founding fathers did the exact opposite.
