      See? Trickle down economics really works! The wealthy trickle down $8 per day to their thankful employees for 18hr shifts! And don’t you dare say it’s slavery, you damn liberal! They’re getting paid and free to leave at any time! Slaves don’t get paid!

    Firstly, who the fuck are they?

    Secondly, you have the money, why can’t you just be reasonable? Like it’s not enough to rich, and not work and be happy, travel the world without limits and without a care… you somehow need to hurt people. It’s awful.

    They wouldn’t even notice the money if they paid their staff properly. But people like that actually get off on the cruelty. I hope they throw those fuckers in jail.

      I think maybe the rich folks just don’t think about their staff or employees as people, or they think they’re out to get them.

      I work manufacturing adjacent and see a lot of this attitude from the management layer. They think they own people and that every dollar they give them, every break, every word not out of necessity is the worker pulling one over on them.

      It’s a sad othering, like they’re not raking in money with these people. It’s like they think the money is coming no matter what, and every wasted moment is direct theft in opposition to them.

    • No. Probably why they came here.

      But seriously, why do rich Criminals always come here and think they can get away with it just because they’re rich? We arrested the child of Gaddafi. The son of a literal fucking dictator in charge of Libya, a country that is fairly important in European politics.

      If not even he got away with it, what makes you think you will?

        If you’re asking why wealthy people run to Switzerland specifically I have to assume it is in part due to the history of banks that make disclosing ownership a crime making them useful to hide capital in offshore accounts to dodge taxes in their home country, stash money related to crime or exploitation, laundering, etc. While their money may be stored anonymously once they show up in person they themselves are no longer anonymous and subject to arrest.

      The UK royal family’s net worth is estimated at $28 billion. While king Charles’ personal net worth is at $700 million.

        Imagine having $700 million, having almost no responsibility, and still being that much of a putz.

    Hope these cunts get locked up but they won’t, the laws dont seem to apply when you are that rich unfortunately. I wonder which politician they have donated to.

    Happy to see something done at least. Annoyed knowing they were likely accused, and investigated due to their skin colour. As per some family there, you absolutely do not go certain places without a white friend or friends. If you’re going out by yourself you do it on crowded days and make sure you’re seen on security cameras and make note of where and when. That way when you get accused, because you will be, you’re covered.

    For context they were born and raised in Switzerland, one of their parents was as well. The other parent moved there from North America and has since become a Swiss citizen about 40 years ago. The parent that moved is a visible minority and continues to have an adventure of a time.
