It's time to stop taking any CEO at their word.

Edit: scratch that, the time to stop taking any CEO at their word was 100 years ago.

The best time was 100 years ago. The second-best time is now.

We should never have taken them at their word.

We should be taking them with the rope...

[-] tinyVoltron@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

We should take CEOs with fava beans and a nice bottle of chianti.

ehh as much as everybody loves this sentiment... at the end of the day, those days are over. going that route, you get Syria type shit.

violence at this point is a red herring. there are ways to engage tho but it requires people to take personal responsibility improve their lives and show solidarity with like minded people and the under class. if critical mass ever hits this, things can change.

Eat the rich doesn’t have to mean literally.

Yeet the rich does though.

Yea yea but we can't even have the state tax them properly and stop giving their "legal persons" endless amounts of money

It's time to take CEO's money away!

I think the quote that "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" is a bit older, and said about all the lessons of history before it.

Somehow humanity doesn't like the wisest rules out there. And prefers to read Palanick and talk about post-modernism instead of looking at the root.

The word is it's time to take the CEOs away

The easiest way to stop him is to walk up to him and whisper into his ear "end computer similation" and he will just disappear.
