As a photographer I'm wondering why would billionaires give autofocus about poor people...

/s obviously

For the amount of references to people defending CEOS and billionaires, I never actually see any unless I walk by a TV blaring Fox News.

Come to Germany. We had a wealth tax until 1996 and whenever it's revival is publicly discussed you can see that the majority is against it even when the majority of our people would never have to pay it and would profit from it. It's mind boggling that the people are still willing to defend our current "don't tax the rich" policy...

Yeah the whole AfD situation is extremely worrying to me.

[–] sockenklaus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's not even the AfD. Most of the politic parties don't or at least didn't want to touch wealth tax.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Rather than "it's not even the AfD" it should say "It's not only the AfD".

That's because most of the parties here suck.

That's silly, a shocking amount of media sources are in cover their ass mode not just fox. LinkedIn has posts. Twitter has posts. Even SNL, shockingly, is a little bit "can we not be cheering a killer on air?"

So..I call bs, this is everywhere.

Nobody I work with is on the same page as me about this subject, but they also don't know enough about it to feel comfortable disagreeing with me. I think a lot of people relate more to a CEO than Luigi for the simple fact that they think or feel that it's more likely for them to be in the CEOs position than a shooter. As delusional as that is, it's a factor that has always put the working class against themselves.

To be fair, that guy looks like his hands are probably grimey. I wouldn't want to touch them either.

Also, maybe the players are tired and grumpy after the match.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The fans are why they make millions dribbling a ball though. A simple high five is not a lot to ask.
