They predicted they could fleece a bunch of investors and politicians before it became apparent to everyone else

Billionaires, that’s the malfunction, time to dine yet?

maybe when red state gasoline hits 7.50

Honestly, its beyond billionaires. Even upper management and smaller business owners are slopping up the koolaid like its nobody’s business. They feel like they just got that secret weapon to lord over all their employees or fix every problem they couldn’t manage.

There’s really this maliciousness to it. The way they talk down and chew out people objecting or raising concerns. There’s this mask off righteousness and entitlement to them that I’ve rarely seen before.

They believe they are 100% they are in the right and nothing will stop them.

I agree totally but I call anyone else out think I’ve got some bs glitchin this or watchin me. I’m old enough not to give a fuck, yet young enough to end a chuck of them push comes to shove

They did, but they knew they could make money out of it anyway.

They think it’s worth it to scare employees and suppress wages.

Even if it costs more to fix the mistakes it might actually be cheaper if people don’t win wage increases and layoffs continue.

I’m not saying this will work but it seems to be at least part of the logic.

they are billionaires. they just want more hot air for their bubble i sure know they have lots of it in the bottom area behind them

Oh it is simple, they are fucking dumb. Always have been. If they do have some brain cells to rub together they will get stuck on short term gains for themselves which in the long run is fucking dumb.

Either way you slice it dumb, just fucking dumb.

We don’t live in a meritocratic society, especially at the higher levels.

Right mommy, right daddy, right school, knowing the right people, right way of talking - that’s far more important to end up a CEO than competence.

I’m surprised it’s not more obvious. Tons of CEOs tank their companies and fail upwards into boards and other CEO positions of multi-billion dollar companies because they completely mismanaged the company but somehow rich people are geniuses?

We’re all supposed to believe that the rich are rich because of their own merit and the poor are poor because of their own lack of merit, so that we don’t force the rich contribute more to the public pot so that the poor aren’t poor.

So the relentless propaganda we’re bombarded with in the media is that the rich are great and amazing people who got to were they are due to their hard work and intelligence (notice how Bill Gate’s mother who was a member of the board of IBM was never mentioned in the press when talking about “his” success with Microsoft) whom we should all look up to whilst in the last couple of decades we’ve been seeing more and more in the rightwing press stories about how the poor are lazy and dependent on benefits (aka social security if in America).

The poor aren’t the ones who own TV Channels, Newspapers and (in countries that have that) end up in the boards of publicly owned TV Channels and Newspapers.

No one tells them no

They’re all conservatives. Conservatives are profoundly unintelligent by nature. Just the dumbest cockroaches to ever infest a planet.

I got let go from a job about a year ago because I said this and showed the data to support my claim in reaponse to why it was taking me a while to complete some work.

If a billionaire bought a ticket to the Powerball lottery and won they would attribute that win to their superior “genius”, “work ethic” and deep strategy.

Survivorship bias is a helluva drug.

Not even predicted. This is what everyone realized the second they started having to use Ai tools at work. This has been wide knowledge for a year or two, and likely known by those doing early tests with it prior.

They are still making money hand over foot and they’ve doubled down on it. I smell bubble getting larger before pop.
