“Sir if you mention illegal drugs again we’re gonna have to ask you to leave the store”

I don’t mean to sound depressing but i feel like nowadays as soon as a cop saw that he’d force them to get down, whereas i feel like back then people weren’t so stuffy

Yes please!

That is an adequate amount of garlic bread per serving

As soon as he crossed it i was expecting him to just fucking boot into some kids noggin

But even though he didnt, we all know he thought about it for a second

Shitty capitalism bleeding into the scenery

Shit, forgot to plan that. Too busy sucking nutrients through my bellybutton

Been thinking of a new indian scout bobber (maybe scout bobber twenty). Getting my license this month, have ridden dirtbikes before and standard vehicles. Any thoughts? Im between that and potentially buying something used

Do you have enough money for car repairs? The thing i hate the most about having to drive my really old car is that repairs come more often, and not making a lot of money means i dont always have the funds to repair it

You know what though, how about YEA? Starbucks employees should be able to raise a family. If you work 40 hours a week you should be able to raise a family. Starbucks net profit for 2018 was 4.5 BILLION dollars. They can afford to pay their workers much more. Theres no incentive, unless we make one. And that incentive is unionizing and forcing their hand. It the government doesn’t want to raise wages, we organize and force companies hands. Share in the wealth that the workers created. Companies can still make a lot of money, but maybe their shareholders only make 100 million instead of 4.5 billion. They’ll be fine.

I suggest you read up on north korea

It doesn’t shit on socialists. North Korea is a brutal dictatorship

I just say “yeah, and north korea calls themselves a democracy”

Remember, no russian

That share of labor gdp depends on what metrics you’re using and you know it

Also you’re clearly not understanding the argument i’m making due to the fact that we’ve strayed far and beyond my original point of exploitation. You debate not to understand, but to further entrench your feet in your views. You know how I know that? Cause you’re most likely going to respond by telling me how i’m wrong about what I just wrote.

Yes but the owner still makes far more profit than the employee. Despite the worker doing a majority of the work. Even if one were to argue that both the employee and owner do an equal amount of work in regards to the business, the profit would logically be split 50/50. One cannot ignore the value that the worker puts in, or the value the owner puts in. Unless the entirety of the workforce is unionized, the worker always gets the short end of the stick at the hands of the boss. This is basic capitalism

Yes, but the majority of profit still goes to the owner. Yes, there’s costs involved, so that 400 in profit we’re talking about isn’t ALWAYS 400, but on the whole, the owner takes much more of the profit than the worker does over time. And again, that is very simple exploitation. The owner uses the employee to amass a fortune, while giving the employee as little as possible. This is the fundamental nature of capitalism. If the owner sought to give more of a share of the profits to the worker, there’s a big possibility that someone could come in and undercut him. Which could force him out of business. So it’s truly in the nature of capitalism to exploit as much as possible, because if you don’t, the next person could come along and exploit their workers more (within the law, usually), and put the other out of business. Exploitation is baked into the essence of capitalism. To use another person to amass great wealth.

Yea not solely, but the majority of the profit, day in and day out, is created by the worker (sticking to the burger example). The initial investment by the owner obviously allows the profit to be made, but after that, the worker creates the vast majority of the profit, yet is given the smallest portion of that profit. This is exploitation

Yes, the owner takes the profit that the worker created and keeps it for himself. That is exploitation. Without the worker, there is no profit created. The worker creates the profit, and the boss takes it and leaves the worker with a small portion

Sure it does. The boss/employee relationship is exploitative in capitalism. You work for a boss, and that boss takes the profit that you made them and gives you a small percentage of it. That boss is exploiting you. If you weren’t being exploited, you would collect all the profit that you created.

Lets say for example you work in a little burger shack, making burgers for 10hrs a day, just you. One day you make 100 burgers and sell them for 10 bucks each. Now you have 1,000 dollars in the register at the end of the day. So after all the bills are paid (ingredients, rent, utilities, etc.), theres 500 dollars left over. You made 500 dollars in profit. Now your boss takes that 500, and gives you 100 of it for your pay, and keeps the rest. That profit you created on your own that day, has been stolen by your boss. That boss did none of the work that day, but kept most of the money. That’s exploitative by definition.

Now, of course there’s the point that the boss created the burger shack idea, spent his own money to hire people to furnish it, and took a risk (because the idea could fail). And that’s obviously true, but that’s another point entirely.

Everyone who works for someone that owns the company is a victim of capitalism/exploitation
