It's an acceptable loss.
It's an acceptable loss.
It's an acceptable loss.
What if we start killing board members instead of just CEOs, you know, the puppet masters along with the puppet.
While we are at it, also any billionaires to
There's no shortage of steel that I'm aware of, and chain production is entirely automated at this point. So why not?
You can't murder your way out of a situation you didn't murder yourself into.
Not with that attitude.
They started it, we just need to finish it.
Technically speaking humanity did murder itself out of feudalism and into capitalism
DDD let's a go!
Hey.... Boulders ain't cheap either.
A drop of the guillotine is completely free. Just saying.
Sure. But it just doesn't have the same fire and brimstone "wrath of an angry God" feel to it. Guillotines are quick. But if you really hate someone, you'll go to the trouble of hauling an 800 lb boulder around just to off 'em. If you really want to show your displeasure with someone, you'll go to the trouble of loading a giant rock on a boat and hauling it an hour offshore. It's "I hate you so much I'm willing to go to this amount of effort!"
Also the boulder
It's a very neat boulder.
Pioneers used to ride those babies for miles.
That's completely inappropriate. That boulder could be turned into a statue.
IDK. I'm thinking more a giant bronze statue of Luigi would be more appropriate. Interesting enough, those things aren't as expensive as you might think. Some googling suggests a cost of between $25k-250k for a life sized bronze statue. That's a lot for an individual, but well within the realm of crowd funding. I say we place it on a main road outside UHC's headquarters in Minnesota. Make the bastards drive past it every single day on the way to work.
After the CEO has ceased to exist we could get the boulder back and make a statue of that CEO, as a a warning to others.
...and a cool ass boulder.
This! You have any idea how much people pay for boulders to landscape their yards? A small one about the size of a nightstand can cost 300+.
Can we just put them all in submarines and promise it will be different this time?
Even in death they'd be causing sea levels to rise.
But they're providing valuable nutrients to endangered sea critters, so it balances out from an environmental perspective.
I guess this meme only applies to America?
In most European countries, you pay for your insurance by contributing a certain percentage of your wages to your insurance company and a retirement payout company. Of course, you don't have to bother with that, since your employer does this in most cases (if you're not a contractor). I think this is a better strategy than just paying from what you have.
In the Netherlands your pension fund is withheld from your wages (partially a mandatory government fund, partially a fund your employer might select).
My previous employer invested about 1% of my wages into the fund, which was quite shite. My current employer invests 10% and has a significantly better return.
Health insurance is a monthly cost you pay on your own (starting at around € 120 / mo). It's a € ~350 yearly deductible and coverage is mostly decided by the government. Any additional coverage is your own choosing and comes at a premium.
As you can only switch contracts on a yearly basis, comparing health plans is effectively a Christmas tradition for all Dutch citizens.
Put this image into a translator, but in short, in Slovakia, your employer pays for your health insurance. (if you're not self-employed)
Why aren’t we seeing this type of energy towards politicians? They’re the ones making the laws that companies exploit.
Polluting the sea is not cool either
Also rocks can be valuable too
so does this mean y'all guys are finally coming around on utilitarianism?
I thought that this was gonna be a different joke, I'm not gonna lie.
Now I'm morbidly curious what joke you were thinking...
"It's an acceptable loss."
Can't we do this another way? That's a waste of a perfectly good rock.
Tie them all together with a floating rope at the wrists to waists. They will eventually tire out, when they do they will sink themselves, once they have provided value to the fishes and other sea life then the rope will float back to the top and you can start all over with another group of valuable market leaders.
There's no shortage of rocks at our disposal. If it's the labor costs you're worried about, I suppose we could force the CEOs to quarry and carry their own rock.
Unfortunately the rock must be sacrificed for the good of us all. 😞
Could we not go for a more sustainable solution? I'm sure they'd make a pretty decent fertiliser.
The CEOs will be fully recycled by sea life. Steel is just iron and carbon, no real damage to the environment as they rust away. And boulders are inert. And we can make sure the CEOs are dressed in suits made of all natural fibers when we chuck 'em in the drink!
We are just replenishing the world's supply of low radiation steel. In a thousand years scientists will be so thankful.
Everybody wants a rock to wind their CEOs around.
Oh my god, that scene in the beginning of Amistad just flashed back in my head. I had completely blocked it for like 25+ years and now it is back, oh god, I feel sick.
CEOs instead of students!
Truly. That's why they like yachts. Deep in their hearts, they yearn for the Sea. They know they are meant to become one with it!
can we stop with the political shit? its clogging the feed on lemmy and its making the site boring as fuck.
I mean, this is on lemmy.ml....
this is a blanket statement. Its like everyone who posts on here is constantly triggered and has to rage post. I don't know how you can live your life every day like that. The point was good the first time it was posted, but every day the same thing over and over like propaganda, sounds kinda familiar.
