Elon Musk Buys Twitter

[Mehrunes]

Gonna shill for Jeff "My employees have to wear diapers at work" Bezos as well?

Or that time where their warehouse worker died of a heart attack after informing the warehouse clinic he was suffering from chest pain only to be given something for dehydration AND other workers were immediately forced back to work to match dem quotas. Bezos is truly the good Samaritan of our times.

EDIT: I mixed up my cases. The one from the deleted post was from one of Amazon's competitors. Birds of a feather and all, the US warehouse industry is fucking garbage.

Not just that:

“How can you not see a 6ft 3in man laying on the ground and not help him within 20 minutes[/B]? A couple of days before, he put the wrong product in the wrong bin and within two minutes management saw it on camera and came down to talk to him about it,” Edward Foister said.

Amazon said it had responded to Foister’s collapse “within minutes”.

An Amazon worker on the same shift told the Guardian: “Bill was on the floor for quite some time and nobody knew that time until cameras were reviewed, but in 20 minutes a worker in a nearby department saw him lying on the floor and then began radio callouts for 911. It really is unbelievable how Bill was laying there for 20 minutes and nobody nearby saw until an Amnesty worker with a radio came by.”

So I guess the trick of it is, if you're having a heart attack while at work...make sure you toss a package in the wrong bin before you collapse

Oh, but the good news is he didn't die in the warehouse.

Amazon denied that Billy Foister died at the warehouse and said he was treated “within minutes”.

“The passing of the employee did not occur at the facility. The employee experienced a personal medical issue (heart attack) and lost consciousness. Several trained team members quickly responded and administered CPR and AED until local emergency responders arrived, within minutes, and took over. The employee was then transported to a local hospital for further treatment, where he was later pronounced deceased,” said an Amazon spokesperson in an email.

Nobody dies at Amazon. Nobody.

I'm a patient man. I shall look forward to my education.

I'm sure it will be any minute now.

Nobody dies at Amazon. Nobody.

About that. In my country just one of the "fulfillment" centers had two fatalities. https://notesfrompoland.com/2021/10/...ng-conditions/ And while one died in a medical room (arguably still part of the warehouse) the other died at work before an ambulance arrived.

So I guess the trick of it is, if you're having a heart attack while at work...make sure you toss a package in the wrong bin before you collapse

Or just hold it, I suppose. In that case someone will come looking after it (and to scold the worker), because Amazon is better at keeping track of their packages than their workers.

If they don't want to wear diapers to work, they should get real jobs and $300,000 from their parents. Now get back in your cage.

Please educate me on why this is a good thing.

Billionaires like Musk know how to allocate capital in the most productive manner over time. As they become trillionaires they will pay much more in taxes than a billionaire, which is good for the public. They will also create demand for new luxury products/services that will eventually become cheaper and accessible to the average person.

This is good satire.

I'm wondering when the hundreds of billions in wealth transferred from the poor/working class to the handful of wealthy elites over the pandemic starts trickling down..

I keep looking up for that golden shower to rain down on us but there's nary a cloud in sight : (

They apparently need to be super king kamehameha uber rich first. Multiple billions isn’t enough according to PC2.

This is an obvious lie, unless the only "allocation" you care about is "into their own personal bank accounts".

They literally cannot become billionaires if they're maximizing productivity over time. Profit necessarily comes at the expense of further investment into the company and its workers. It's a zero-sum game.

As they become trillionaires they will pay much more in taxes than a billionaire, which is good for the public. They will also create demand for new luxury products/services that will eventually become cheaper and more accessible over time.

They already don't pay their fair share. And those luxury products and services have not become cheaper or more accessible over time.

And if they didn't have those trillions of dollars, everyone else would be sharing them, and paying taxes on them, to a much greater degree to boot. Again; zero-sum game. The money billionaires make isn't generated out of nothing. It's transferred to them, and comes at the expense of those who'd otherwise benefit from it.

You're pushing objective falsehoods. You're lying, right to our faces, and you expect to be taken seriously? You don't even understand basic capitalist principles.

Huh? In what world is Tim Pool far right wing? Has something changed I should be aware of?

How bout his palling around with well known Nazis like Brittany Pettibone, Lauren Southern, Identity Evropa people and the Red Elephants?

Musk is a normal fallible person just like everyone else. For me I've been interested in technology and engineering ever since I was a kid reading Popular Mechanics/Science magazines, and I've always been interested in entrepreneurship, innovation, and start-ups. It seems that Elon Musk is currently the best role model in the world in this regard.

But he doesn't hold a degree in any of these things you are interested in, he is no more of an innovator than Warren Buffet, George Soros or any number of investors. Elon Musk has zero major innovation to his name (patent). If you want to role model maybe pick someone who isn't a giant troll / douchebag with a horrible track record and personality. It reflects more on you than on him since he isn't hiding who he is.

He has a degree in physics, that's what science and engineering is based on. It's all related. Apparently he studied economics as well.

If Buffet or Soros start new businesses that are successful then they are innovative and entrepreneurs as well.

Nah it reflects poorly on you when you spend your time hating on Elon Musk instead of being happy for him and supporting his optimistic vision of the future.

When in doubt, just change what words mean.

Classic.

If those trillions trickled down to the worker class they would pay substantially MORE in taxes than billionaires or trillionaires.

They would create demand for way more products which would lead to way more production which would lead to even greater economic gains for the world.

But hey according to you eventually a 130 foot yacht will be affordable and accessible to the average person if we just give billionaires enough money to buy a few thousand of them first!!

Love that logic

The outrage is delicious, even if nothing changes, simply seeing how mad all the left wing people here are about it (especially the mods here who are in terror the same could happen to them) is good enough for me. The horror from the left that people might actually be able to post crime statistics, facts about gender, facts about men going into women's sports, facts about economics, facts about how little of a threat COVID actually is, etc etc without getting banned is amazing. The difference between me and say, Endus or Themius (whatever his name is) Bushido, and the other far left on this side is, I WANT to hear your uncensored opinions because their insanity gives me huge entertainment. I have gotten ENDLESS laughs from Libs of TikTok, PLEASE make more insane leftist videos so that account can keep exposing their insanity, I don't want it censored. The difference is, the left, woke, sjws whatever you want to call them, don't want to allow my opinions to be heard, and they are mad that there might be one large social meida platform where you can't just ban and block people on the right. Too bad. Cry more. This video perfectly sums it up: -- SJW cries Rozz swoops in to rescue them. Hopefully, it won't work that way on Twitter anymore.

I notice you didn't respond to the reports about him exploiting his workers with that "optimistic vision" of his.

What's it say when the world's richest man forces his employees to work off the clock and denies them the breaks he is legally required to provide them?

What's it say about you that, even after this is pointed out, you still shill for him?

[Draco-Onis]

Hi main focus is economics he just has a basic understanding of physics he isn't a scientist or an engineer.

If Buffet or Soros start new businesses that are successful then they are innovative and entrepreneurs as well.

They have and most of Musk's businesses including Tesla were started by other people, state one major innovation he patented.

Nah it reflects poorly on you when you spend your time hating on Elon Musk instead of being happy for him and supporting his optimistic vision of the future.

I am stating facts about his public persona, what proof do you have he is a nice guy? his vision of the future is that the earth will no longer be viable and we need to move to Mars to slave under his leadership. What part of this do you find optimistic? for those of us who don't worship at his feet that's not a great prospect.
