And you can still do that, if you pay them a decent wage

2020-03-15 16:16:58 UTC  

Again, if you want to be wealthy, you need to create value not leech off other peoples value.

yk... idk how ford innovated without getting paid by himself

2020-03-15 16:17:06 UTC  

at the start

2020-03-15 16:17:07 UTC  

yk

2020-03-15 16:17:12 UTC  

how did that work

2020-03-15 16:17:46 UTC  

@OneTrueGod Doesn't work that way though. Companies require employees long before .01 to .05 percent of the profits are enough to constitute a livable wage.

2020-03-15 16:17:46 UTC  

Prob had a job and starting ford was a side project

2020-03-15 16:17:50 UTC

@Seven Proxies incorrect, this would actually supercharge small companies because, since their gdp is smaller, they'd be able to pay basically whatever they want

2020-03-15 16:18:19 UTC  

So what?

2020-03-15 16:18:29 UTC  

@phadreus Erm what?

2020-03-15 16:18:36 UTC  

I don't think a company that cannot pay employees a decent wage should have employees

2020-03-15 16:18:50 UTC  

I would shed no tears in that regard

>being able to pay lower wages means they won't exist

2020-03-15 16:19:14 UTC  

????

2020-03-15 16:19:28 UTC  

How does that make sense?

2020-03-15 16:19:37 UTC  

look at what we have?, whole economies propped up on a working class that cannot buy more than basic amenities and can't buy property!

2020-03-15 16:19:39 UTC  

They can pay whatever wage they want at that point

2020-03-15 16:20:33 UTC  

the banks should have been allowed to fail really

2020-03-15 16:20:39 UTC  

long ago

2020-03-15 16:20:39 UTC  

@phadreus I don't think it would solve any of the problems though

2020-03-15 16:20:51 UTC  

All company owners have to do is start several, smaller companies

2020-03-15 16:20:59 UTC  

That do not have as much individual gdp

2020-03-15 16:21:01 UTC  

@Seven Proxies What it would do is get rid of the extremes on both sides

2020-03-15 16:21:05 UTC  

its the government bailouts and gov injection of money through central banking that has created so much inflation

2020-03-15 16:21:06 UTC  

Worse, we have faggots that look down on everyone and demean them for how much they earn

2020-03-15 16:21:09 UTC  

Less billionaires

2020-03-15 16:21:13 UTC  

Less poverty

2020-03-15 16:21:13 UTC  

But where the profits are still raked in by a board of directors

2020-03-15 16:21:36 UTC  

its not really just the billionaires themselves

2020-03-15 16:21:39 UTC  

> All company owners have to do is start several, smaller companies
@Seven Proxies we make it illegal

2020-03-15 16:21:44 UTC  

or the act of being a billionaire in itself... per se

2020-03-15 16:21:45 UTC  

Look at that video from last week, some woman turned up at a burger king that was on fire and demanded the employees who had evacuated get her a refund

2020-03-15 16:21:46 UTC  

<:thinking_clown:590855640268668928>

2020-03-15 16:21:55 UTC  

@phadreus Sorry but it won't work

2020-03-15 16:22:04 UTC  

Its what these people are doing with their funds...

2020-03-15 16:22:06 UTC  

Unlimited government intervention <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

2020-03-15 16:22:11 UTC  

and she called them stupid when they refused, saying "This is why you work at burger king"

2020-03-15 16:22:18 UTC  

what... certain. people.

2020-03-15 16:22:24 UTC
