i know the details.
You don’t know the details
They don’t deserve shit cause they barely work.
Funny how people that don't do blue collar work, can raise hell about the money that other people work, when those people make everybody lives easier. The longshore men are capped our at $39 which is 87,300 a year. They make additional money via overtime. They wanted the pay increase because they don't have a pension and they wanted there pay to be comparable to the west coast branch of the union and that do get a pension. The dock workers earn their salary and wont to be compensated for it. Nobody was complaining when the shipping companies was price gouging everybody during covid and making record profits.

The problem with the English language is its ability to get into semantics. Sometimes you have to call something what it is. Inflation most of the time is just greed. Your sentence inflation has decreased looks differently when you use the word greed.

Greed has decreased from …

Don’t let Thomas Picketty’s death be for nought.

This is true about English it's the perfect language for liars.

Greed is the major issue.

As it stands right now, capitalism has amassed so much wealth it has the ability to stop world hunger and homelessness etc etc.

However, the greed of capitalism won't let us realize that reality because it thinks any good must be done for monetary profit.

And when did Thomas Picketty die?

He hasn’t died. The reason why you have black folks eager to sign up for capitalism because capitalism gives every human being the opportunity to live as a pharaoh. The greed and gluttony technically isn’t sustainable but when we get to that moment where a the boundary between serf and slave gets blurred, hold on to your galluses.

They are getting PAID more than the average American. They are being greedy and evil.
Please go do the research. Smh.
The average American makes about 59,000 bucks… there are Costco workers that with 5 yr experience make 80,000 or more, should the average American hate on Costco workers? How about the average retail worker make significantly less than the average Costco retail worker hourly should other retail workers hate on Costco workers? My boy makes double what the average American worker makes with his hotel job and all he does is move tables and chairs around for hotel events, he says most days he dosent do anything and get paid and most times he works 2 hours the max as far as work and just sit around for about 6, should the average American worker hate on him? Maybe instead of hating you need to fig out how to tap into that money

I’m reading Stolen Childhood by Wilma King right now. If your friend gets paid handsomely for little work, I want to sing his praises.

I’ve been anti capitalist for the majority of my life.

*According to the 2023 Census the real household income was about $80K ($80,610).... the real family household income was about $102K.

All income was up a little over 4% vs 2022


They're max base salary (non OT) is $39/hr X 2080 base hrs a year = $81K.

These dudes can clear $100k with OT easily..... and now they want 77% more.....

Which is fine, but these corporations aren't cutting C suite pay and bonuses...... (they need to) so to offset these demands automation and layoffs will be occurring......

There is too much greed from the top of our economy that gets confused for inflation or greed from workers at the bottom.

The pay gap between regular workers and CEOs is the highest it's every been. At one point having a CEO make 75X the average workers was considered unheard of...... as we stand today (2023 figures) we're at 196X up from 181X in 2022...... that is wild!!

And what do you say about the corporations?
I say nothing about the corporations in THIS case. Their salaries are GREAT.
I mentioned in the past which fields need higher salaries.
Don't ask me questions you don't care about the answers to.
I am commenting for people who want to see the truth.

Costco workers aren't on strike. They aren't asking for 75% raise. They are purposely trying to cripple the economy.
End. Of. Story.

They asked and they basically got, that shows maybe you need to standup and believe and get what you want . Black people didn't want to sit on the back of the bus so they protested and got their wish.. they didn't stand on the sidelines pouting and just tolerating bullshit.. maybe you should do the same since obviously you don't like your wages.. sitting on the PC watching another man pockets made you nothing maybe you should get off it and go get it

So you pretty much been wrong by this whole thing.. there’s no need to even talk about this strike anymore cause dudes is working again and people that copped 5 yrs of tissue are mad they did all that panic shopping for nothing

Oh ok. I have been wrong a lot?
  1. Chadwick Bosemen - I told yall he was sick. The board said he was dieting for a movie role.
  2. You need 300k+ to be comfortable in NYC. Recently polls are saying the SAME THING!
  3. Movie threatres - if people don't go to the movies, malls will close down and there will be no more big block busters b/c no studio wants to spend big money. What happened? Marvel and DC cancelled several films --
  4. The auto workers strike - I said they gonna get what they want then get laid off.

No. They don't have the right to strike. 1947 Taft-Hartley Act
How the fuck am I a coon when the strikers who benefit are Italian and Irish.
Dumb niggas man. Fucking dumb nigga.
Make sure you split your profits with all your workers at the sloppy joe trucks you got.

You said like half the population would die from Covid , multiple millions in nyc. And even more in the us during that less than a yr stint..didn’t happen… you said you need 700,000 to live comfortably this was b4 covid( notice you keep trying to change the number since I pointed it out), you said no more big budget films back in 2020 and yet movies like joker 2 had a 200 million dollar budget and we still getting 200 million dollar budget films, don’t try to act like you didn’t say these things in 2020.. 4 yrs later none of this happen

Covid - I said more will die if people didn't take it seriously. The gov't FORCED lock downs remember. Vaccines were forced in some jobs. That helped it ALOT. In the US more people than any other country STILL died.

I didn't say 700k you keep using the number. I said 300k+ and I KNOW why I said that number dude. That is what Puffy was making when he blue up at Uptown records and told us he can do whatever he want and was living like a millionaire.

Movies - the 1st Joker made 1 billion. That is why the studio upped the budget. Hollywood used to spend money like that for movies every week. Thet has STOPPED!

Comment on Chadwick and the auto workers. What happened there?
