You would think that a company with a $59 billion market cap would eventually have to turn a profit to keep the stock price rising, but who knows maybe they can just keep bringing in new money indefinitely.

Hey, that's what people said about Amazon/Microsoft/Facebook...

It's only horrifying to these slackers. The others that are kicking ass are being rewarded and make a ****load on their stock option plans.

Bedtime Stories for Capitalist Monsters

I often hear this same refrain about black folks and latinos, they want the government to do everything for them, won't work, and so on. These are the lies we tell ourselves to "other" people, making their exploitation more palatable.

New plan! Instead of firing them, put them in a rocket and fire them to Mars!

Might work.

It's not a tactic my friend, I'm not trying to win an argument or paint you in any racist way. It's an analogy of othering.

My company already got rid of most of us for not being cheaper Indian contract labor so there isn't anyone left to fire.

This capitalist system is a ****ing hamster wheel leading nowhere but ecological armageddon. The bloody get up at 5 for a working breakfast and stock options arseholes are ruining the world for the rest of us. Everything in moderation, as some wise old greek guy once said.

**** you, this is my blog now

man, I gotta buy a house just to keep animals in. so far I've been getting away with apartment living but I keep fostering and tons of animals need homes so I will provide one.

but I don't want anything to do with it. I don't want to pick out a house, apply for a mortgage, move, or ever repair anything.

I'd acquire a waifu just to deal with all the life **** I don't want to deal with except I ain't about no females at this point. A Butler? Manservant! Buttservant?!

you've said that immigrants are globalist pawns used to divide the country and/or sap its resources

the implication being that immigrants are divisive and/or not meriting of resources

Did Gucci carry that wad of cash around in his hand all night, or was it just for the camera?

that's not a roll one carries for a camera. looks like a craps roll.

this is a roll one carries for a camera. so much money, as 2 Chainz says, it don't even fold. (Demonstrated by Takeoff).
