for anyone surprised I’ll provide exhibit A

You obviously don’t know white people.

When I was buying my house, I came for a tour of the home, as you do when purchasing a home.

Within three minutes of us showing up, walking in with the realtor, the police were outside the house. Not one car though. Three cars, the house was surrounded.

On top of that, it’s clear that we were looking to buy the house because of the big for sale sign in the front. And even clearer the fact that it was me, my wife, our three-year-old son, my brother-in-law, my father-in-law, my mother-in-law, and the realtor.

Evidently the next door neighbor decided to call the police when they saw us because they thought we were robbing the place.

Who the fuck robs an empty house with six adults and a baby?

Let’s just say, I wasn’t surprised when they put up Trump signs.

Rich white people are afraid of anything outside of their “control”.

wait… WAP doesn’t mean wet ass penguins?

I am afraid

impossible.

it’s clearly filled with leftists.

still a dangerous time to be anything but white and privileged. even then, being labeled as a commie or pinko was a slow death sentence.

It’s a scale thing.

one house on fire, it’s ok.

one house being raided, it’s ok.

five houses being raided and four houses on fire, time to gtfo.

IDK about the rest but Gutz is pretty good.

they’re called concentration camps because they concentrate all “illegals” in one convenient location for “processing”.

people will lie to you and say it’s not possible. they will lie to you and tell you it would never come to that. they will lie to you and tell you citizens would never allow that to happen.

they lied to themselves for eight years and said never again.

It’s happening again.

take a look at your neighbors houses.

are they on fire or being raided yet?

no? not yet.

It’s not just about profits, it’s about accountability. That’s what the different forms of corporations represent. A singular private person can’t and shouldn’t be held accountable for every product the produce. A business is a layer of protection of limited (Ltd.) accountability.

this is laughable. Corporations aren’t being held accountable for anything anymore because they have personhood rights.

How could anybody be motivated to invent or produce anything if a single miss use of your product that causes any harm (intended or not) could lead to you directly being held responsible and possible going to jail.

People invent and produce things every day. You’re confusing yourself with mass production at scale.

A business on the other hand usually has limited accountability but is also held to a much higher standard of quality and proof than a private individual ever could.

no longer the case. a private individual would be put in jail (like you said) for harming one person with a product. who goes to jail when millions are poisoned by a company? Who maintains that standard of quality and proof? The same government that turns a blind eye when millions of Americans are poisoned?

But to get back on topic, People empower the business. Without the people, there is no business.

People Businesses are the ones that produce food, medicine, clothes, build houses, print books, provide gas and electricity, build roads, etc. There are businesses that have outlasted their usefulness monarchies and democracies. I’m not a corpo schmuck but and culture is small businesses are the soul of the soul of our society.

there, I fixed it.

the purpose of any business is to be profitable, otherwise it’s a charity. businesses have zero philanthropic goals.

people make a business profitable. People make the products and services. People consume the product.

no people, no business.

no government, no people, no business.

don’t let greed cloud your judgement.

I’m gonna love it when all your guys excuses run out and you’re finally going to have to answer to yourselves.

I won’t care then though. I’ll probably be in a camp somewhere. but I’ll be thinking of you all 😶 alot.

google: how do I change my vote?

yeah! go on out there and protest the fascism we had an opportunity to stop!

oh, you want me to help? I’m uhhh…busy with uhhhh stopping the spread of fascism online!

– every 3rd party voter I’ve ever had interactions with

every lemmy.ml user when a joke is made at their expense.

yes… because businesses are more important than democracies…

you know, not that long ago these coverless books existed that came out every day. they had stories, news, even comics in them. and you know what? they even had advertisements in them!

social media is a convenience to business. government is not a social convenience.
