“Anti-Work:” This Facebook Group Is Throwing Punches At Late Stage Capitalism, And Here Are 30 Of Its Best Posts

Actually, by over half the voters. It’s the ones who have a little and are afraid to lose it and therefore kick down on the poorer —- instead of demanding the obscenely superrich become just regularly obscenely rich.

Surprisingly, also by people who are living close to the bone but somehow think that idolizing a fraudulent billionaire makes them more powerful..

And brainwashed people

Who just so happen to control everything...

Thanks to every republican administration since Reagan.

Capitalism has killed more than that.

Don't confuse socialism with communism and dictatorship pretending to be socialism. People seem to have been brainwashed by the Murdoch newspapers (fake news) saying socialism is bad when it's actually good. Europe now has socialism in countries like Finland, a good example of true socialism. The bad socialism people are talking about/thinking about was actually dictatorship, totalitarians and possibly communism. Very bad. These are not socialism. People need to learn to tell the difference. Capitalism is as dangerous as dictatorship, communism and totalitarian ways.

There ARE other options. Look at Social Democracy all across Europe.

I've seen this, it really puts it into perspective.

Pitiful

1/2 a grain? I'd love 1/2 a grain. I can't even catch up with the few crumbs of a grain that I owe.

Amazon just raised the price of Prime membership. Obviously Bezos needs the money to pay for his divorce.

That's a very interesting perspective. Thank you for sharing the vid!

He has given thousands of people jobs. I’m going to eat my half grain of rice now hope it’s super crunchy.

Bezos owns 10.3% of amazon stock. When the company was valued at $2 trillion, his "wealth" was quantified at $216 billion...ignoring that $206 of it existed only on the projections (made up, guesses) of the stock value. He could not liquidate all that stock, even if he wanted to. Even if he did, he would not get anything close to that value, because as soon as the "face of the company" began dumping all of his stock, the market value would plummet. This isn't real money, it doesn't exist. It's purely theoretical, and it's endless played up as a means of focusing everyone's anger at an untouchable target while the rest of the world continues to burn around their ankles.

If I suddenly became rich my first act would be to put out this ad: "I need someone to come organize my house. I would like to pay someone an obscene amount of money to do this."

I've got 99 problems and a prostitute ain't one 'cause all of 'em is money.

I was doing the jobs of three people at one of my jobs years ago. I didn't even ask for a raise, I kept begging for help, asking management to make people who are just as trained for the job as I was to actually do it, not just pass it off repeatedly to me. All I got were empty words. But guess who got in trouble when I decided to stop putting effort into my work and it noticeably suffered? Not the people who said they'd start helping and never did, that's for sure.

This is sadly way too common. Colleagues in my project were caught in corruption cases against the company (from major to minor cases), only three of us remained, and the other two were freshly joined juniors (couple of months) and I was one of the pioneers of the project. Were they replaced soon? Did I get any appreciation for soldering their workloads and transitions and for my dang dumb honesty? Did I get any appreciation for being a loyal employee for years? No prize for the correct answer. (I stay so long there because my original/previous boss actually appreciated me, then the management shifted and it went downhill)

So you left this person with three person job? Do you think they gave him/her a pay rise?

Who do you think owns 95% of the wealth of the country?

Watch your back.

@Tee Witt, I am from the UK, and you are a liar

It’s the skills not the colour you only hire people that can do the job well diversity has nothing to do with it. Don’t pull the race card at every opportunity

They would not dare put a white person in a top job, that would be racism in the UK

Whoa, a rational person ^. I don't see many of you anymore. You know, you are always welcome to come back and live in this world once again.

CAPITALISM!

No, that's not what inflation is. It's when more money enters circulation, so the money is worth overall less. Whereas, companies are raising prices because their supply is going down, because they're losing their workers. There is a difference.

Plus the fact that the company is using less electricity etc.

Because they want you to say something low so you'll get the job and they can underpay.

Yes...Your pay shouldn't be based on what another company paid you.It should be based on what it's worth to the interviewing company to have that job done and how well you can do it.

I love it when they ask this, because it means that they want to hire you very, very, much and don't want to embarrass you with chump change. I give them a greatly inflated amount, they come back at me with a lesser amount, which is still above what I expected. Love it when they ask me what my expectations are.

Agreed. It shouldn't be Let's Make a Deal. Interviews are stressful and time consuming, nevermind the application process sometimes making you fill out the same information 3 times. To go through all of that and possibly turn down other interviews to find out they are going to try and pay me the least amount possible? No thanks. I always go into an interview researching the median pay of the position, as well as the cost of living in the area. And always go with the higher amount. I usually say, 'My expectations are usually in line for the workload and position like this. Doing research I see that xxx is generally the average. So I'd have to hear what your offer is before I could know if that is works for me.' They're usually happy with that. But I never give a number. If they require it, I don't apply because that's clearly the kind of company they are.
