It sucks major but it could be someone who lives in a small bubble, doesn’t use social media, and only watches fox news. Or whatever local news channel. If that’s all they see, they might think they did the right thing. They could be oblivious.

They could also be a bootlicker. Time will tell if we get more info. If their info is released the 50k probably won’t be worth it.

most employees say the shortened week has also improved their work-life balance.

This is worded funny, implying there are some who said less hours did not improve work life balance. I can’t really figure that.

Regardless I really wish this would catch on. 32hr workweek would be such an awesome improvement. But in the USA I’m really not holding my breath this would be adopted wide scale. Our system is about exploiting the worker not altruism. I just see big business fighting back hard for as long as possible.

Who fucking rules us?

Sociopaths mostly I’d say.

There’s a great Tom Waits song called God’s away on business with some pertinent lyrics:

who are the ones we left in charge? Killers, thieves and lawyers

Great song btw.

They’ll find bootlickers. Lawyers know what they’re doing.

Good and get it to them fast before republicans block it somehow.

Haha puppy dog feet.

Toilet but! Cats past here!

Yeah and it’s because of big business and lobbying etc.

Capitalism so fucking stupid. Capitalism is why we can’t have nice things lol.

We buy cheap shit that breaks and doesn’t last long because if it was actually high quality and long lasting, the company wouldn’t make enough profit to stay in business!

A new cheaper, healthier, and waaaay more efficient and ethical method to provide protein to people… no way!

Capitalism blows chunks.

Let’s hope they live in fear. Let’s hope they are never comfortable, even in their mansions and yachts.

I would speculate that if the economy gets worse, recession, job losses, etc., more people might be in a position where they have nothing left to lose.

It’s been reported a lot that more people are reclusive and isolated, less relationships and people having kids. Sure people could just commit suicide, but some might want to go out with a bang.

Seems like we have the potential for this recipe or perfect storm. All depends on how bad things get in the future though. Bread and circuses.

Supposedly they taste like bacon.

I love bacon and I’m famished

Aside from the musk debacle, it’s fun to think about a brand new generation of car enthusiasts hacking and customizing EVs similar to all the current “car guys” are with ICs. I hope it takes off.

MUTATION!!!

Eh, I don’t think this is the best solution.

The assumption is as soon as you turn 17 you’re smart enough and have the critical thinking skills to navigate social media without it negatively affecting you? Kinda dumb.

There could be an argument that at least try to block it while young peoples brains are still developing, maybe there’s benefit in that.

Older people than 16 are still duped by propaganda, and become addicted to social media, and all the negative consequences.

What we need is regulation imo. Good, smart, progressive, altruistic regulation that is for the benefit of all. Ain’t gonna happen though, because sOcIaLiSm and “mUh FrEeDoMs”.

Fuckin’ amen.

The only correct response honestly.

This fucker, and everyone else should not ever have $147 billion to give away, or anywhere close to it.

I’d argue it isn’t his money anyway. These psychos have concocted a system of capitalism that is inherently theft and exploitation. The wealth is dependent on the masses who are kept poor as wage slaves stuck in a perpetual cycle of produce and consume. Which most of us cannot escape.

The masses are the cement and rebar foundation for the billionaires wealth.

Honestly, it ain’t his money to give away. I wish people would realize this.

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

That many people, actually signed up, and gave him money.

That’s a lot of fucking Darwin awards.

god I fucking hate these people. Pure fucking hatred.
