Corporations are the biggest "welfare queens" in America. Narrative needs to change

[Afro]

Maybe I'm on social media too much

That is the answer.

Folks out and about aren't doing all that.

Spoke to a dude who grinded out an apartment with his girlfriend, only to get laid off because the company wanted to trim down their customer support staff to offshore it.

You won't see people struggling on Social Media, that's the point.

 

[Seoul Gleou]

Man us taxpayers been getting fukked for decades now. Aint nobody shooting shyt up. Plus them politicians money long, you ain't catching them slipping at wal mart or some shyt

Blinken has people protesting in front of his house as we speak

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Everything you listed in the first paragraph is programmed behavior. People were just fine getting enough to have a house, clothe and feed themselves, and have some kids. During the last few decades of Hollywood indoctrination have people now had an insatiable need for fame and money
But you know why right?
It’s cause everyone wants to be the god in “in god we trust”

I’ve learned that’s the ultimate goal of global corporatism, becoming god, which means you end up becoming a demon because you’re still only human no matter how much power you have

Bullshyt. Until people learn accountability, please explain how you think this country will get better? Once people take accountability only then will they start fixing the system.


Do you feel the need to be rich and famous with endless clout? I never felt the need to be rich, I just want to break away from the 9 to 5.

 

[O.Red]

You know y'all talk a lot about Corporations, but really it's American people in general. Maybe I'm on social media too much, but it seems like everybody wanna be a boss, everybody wanna be famous, everybody shyts on 9 to 5. Look around who you work with, how many do you think won't hesitate to step on you for a raise or to be the next CEO?

A lot of companies start off good till that new money comes in.


This entire country is money hungry, Corporations just got the upper hand. And I bet if you cut off one head, another rises

It's a ripple effect

There are levels to the American dream, and progressive access to information creates more of those "boss, fukk a 9 to 5" types. There's a thread on here about the impact of Dame Dash's breakfast club interview

Systems are built in a way that things are typically fine if a small handful of nikkas are gaming and finessing said systems. When word gets out and too many people are gaming the system things will break

A perfect example is this fukked real estate market we have now. It's cool when one in every thousand nikkas is flipping and hoarding houses like a mini bank. But now you can throw a rock and hit one of these "buy 20 properties and use them as Airbnbs" ass nikkas, and the market and economy is so fukked no one can buy houses. This increases the demand on apartment rentals which makes renting an apartment expensive as hell too

Corporations have always fukked everyone, but the internet/social media's gift and curse has provided everyone with the tools to become their very own corporation. So now you have 10 or so major corps fukkin everyone, then you have thousands of mini entities fukkin their own vicinity of people

Whole system is broken

 

[Rekkapryde]

the companies pay for the campaigns of these officials, hence bailouts when they are in office. US citizens can't compete with corporate money so who you think politicians are gonna look out for? Whoever is lining their pockets

how dat shyt doesn't count as bribery is incredible.

But then again these are the same bozos who vote for their own raises.

 

[Wild self]

We need another occupy wallstreet. Hopefully the people can stay the course this time.

You know what social media app was created to kill Occupy Wallstreet ?

Instagram.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

over the last 50 years, tax payers have paid half a TRILLION dollars ($676 billion) to bail out banks, automakers, airlines, and more

here are examples of big companies that got bailed out
General Motors: $49.5 billion
Chrysler (2008): $10.5 billion
Fannie Mae: $116 billion
Freddie Mac: $71 billion
AIG: $180 billion
United Airlines: $1.5 billion
American Airlines: $1.5 billion
Chrysler (1980): $1.5 billion (Chrysler's earlier bailout)

these companies have CEOs earning over 100x the income of their workers. if they work 100x times harder than everyone else, they shouldn't be bailed out when the fail and steer companies so badly they need to be bailed out

if i don't pay my credit card and mortgage, the bank won't bail me out. why the fukk are we paying for corporations to be on welfare. why the fukk are they paying LESS taxes than us. shyt is retarded

Those auto bailouts unlike almost any other saved A LOT of jobs. You should have heat with Amazon and other monstrous companies paying shockingly low taxes for their net income and ebitda.

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

I'm starting to see people wake up on social media. Especially tik tok. They're watching politicians spend billions on shyt no one asked for and are protesting. Its only a matter of time before protesting becomes rioting

The shiny toys aren't hitting the same when literally no one can afford them.

People can't even afford McDonald's because the company chose to bush its main staple consumers for even MORE profit.

As a millennial this is the SECOND economic downturn in my life that has led to massive layoffs. The difference this time is companies made record profits and chose to fire people instead of cut CEO pay and distribute it like every other sane company does abroad

You can thank people like Jack Welch for that. He essentially told investors "wait a minute, guys, you're INVESTORS. Lets just raise the value of the company no matter what. If it collapses, at least you'll have made some money" the obsession with "Creating value for shareholders" puts the customers and workers last. There's no reason to actually give a shyt about the longevity of a company if they can just take the millions they made and invest it elsewhere after the thing crumbles.

You've got companies being run by people who never worked there as frontline staff. Shareholders who don't work for the company but profit off its successes meanwhile the individual employee's life can be destroyed if the boss decides to just lay people off, take that money that would have gone to their wages, initiate stock buy back to make it look like the company is doing well, then announce a hiring run and do it all over again. Then if it looks like the company will collapse, government will step in(hey, joe biden might have some shares too) and bail it out.

Will they purchase a controlling interest in the company to prevent this tom-foolery from happening again? NOPE
Will they nationalize it and make it a public good? NOPE
Will they levy a massive fine to the company tied to % of earnings in the fiscal year, then use those funds to essentially compensate the tax payer? NOPE

This!

GM and the auto industry operate on low profits. Same with the airline industry. That doesn’t absolve the CEOs but Amazon and the tech industries rarely lose money. Netflix has a huge amount of debt that they should pay down.

The game is rigged at the end of the day.

 

[Will Ross]

plenty of big companies fail
but ones that would destroy the economy as a whole gets bailouts.

citizens need to come together and demand change

@Seoul Gleou
I can’t prove it but I really do feel like they setting everything up to pull the rug from under us, these corporations going to squeeze everything out from tax payers then move somewhere else and that’s when the collapsing of America will be really real
