I just can't stand the current system where the top gets all the benefits of a socialized economy and everyone else gets sweet fuck all because muh free market.

Income tax has pretty much zero bearing on the government instituting monopolies and cartels to make sure the market isn't free. Earned income tax is just a red herring, since the elites don't get most of their money as taxable income and the control of large corporations isn't related to the income of CEOs.

You should be looking at stuff like barriers to entry for competition (e.g. government-mandated monopolies), or regulatory costs for entering certain industries. These are the things that keep people from competing in the economy, and they're direct subsidies to the companies that were grandfathered into the system. For example the Canadian lumber industry is heavily subsidized even though it's incredibly profitable. It's also a cartel that fixes prices to keep competition down. Utilities are also often government-mandated monopolies, where new power generation companies simply can't exist. Making your own power plant is illegal.

They sure do a lot of fucking talking. How hard is it to quit your job? Why don't they just do that instead of virtue signalling for upcummies, oh wait.

 

[Wormy]

As long as you are trying to better yourself and you try to repay any benefits you may recieve you aren’t working a fake job

How'm I supposed to repay the benefits? Aside from the paycheck and paltry medical coverage, I don't even know what they are.

Are these not for individuals? Is corporate income listed?

Anyway as a counterpoint:
Bombardier
Irving Family loan forgiveness
Loblaws gets free money
Telcos get free money

Wait...how do you join a union when you can't be bothered to get a job?

cool if true

Now that's a larp if I ever saw it. Immortality shouldn't be public or even achieved. We already have an overpopulation issue.

A decidedly millennial concept. You aren't owed "meaning" by your employer. Do you think the serfs grinding out paltry wheat harvests found their jobs meaningful? Do you think the guys on the Model T assembly line found their jobs meaningful? Every living creature on this earth has to work to survive; you aren't special.

The benefits of being a serf of 1,000 year ago outweigh the benefits of being a wage slave today. 1) You have permanent residence and connection to your history. 2) Connection to the product of your labor, you feed your family with it. 3) No dirty brown people coming in shitting up everything. 4) Autonomy in your work as long as you provide what's expected to the lords. 5) Religion and family as a source of meaning, not "entertainment" meant to pacify and make an otherwise unbearable situation livable. Sounds much better than living in an anonymous city, doing ever specialized, atomized, generic work for a faceless megacorp that has no care towards you. The lords of the past had to be good to their serfs because they depended on them, it was much more symbiotic than today's situation where labor is simply a resourced to expended and thrown away like everything else. Anything suggesting that we have it better today than workers of the past have no idea what they're talk about, the situation is so different as to have almost no point of comparison.

Did these morons really fall for the "Big Mac Argument?" Companies don't just magically grow bigger margins to compensate for higher wages, that needs to come from somewhere and cost-cutting is a really bad idea when making foodstuffs.

I mean they can pay more and earn less if they really wanted to, but typically stakeholders are not the type who like to leave money on the table and will want to do _Something_ to recoup their projected earnings.

Yep there is a required rate of return to compensate them for risk otherwise they would just invest in low risk government bonds which are a guaranteed investment

I do think the labor market squeeze may mean they should just take a loss, like ethically, for the good of society. It's self short term beneficial, long term market harmful to raise prices in reaction to the labor squeeze, cause it creates a cycle of devaluing the money they just recouped by raising prices, and can lead to hyper inflation rather quick.

While price controls are bad for business, maybe like a tax incentive for being able to keep a price low long term?

Anyway, I've said it once, and I'll say it again. AntiWork people should have a standard of living, but they should not be able to reproduce without contributing. Homeless people fucking suck, they're a bummmer. Can we get a developing nation to accept our currency for taking our homeless population off our hands?
I don't like stepping over them when I walk to work.

Right now they're importing the third-world's homeless hand-over-fist, so the exact opposite of what you want.

Pro-tip, those restaurants that feature jousting are not historically accurate.

1) serfs got kicked from the land all the fucking time. While a serf was not allowed to choose to leave, his lord could punt him and the family into the wilderness for any fucking reason.

2) the serf and their families didn't get to eat until their taxes were effectively paid. Failing to pay the Lord meant your shit at the very least was confiscated and your family starved.

3) lol it didn't matter what color people were as serfs were all covered in shit.

4) the Lord of the manor could literally rape your kids and butcher you in the street and it was his right to do so.

5) it was also a wonderful excuse to butcher and cleanse entire countries of Protestants and Catholics, depending on which country we are talking about.

Lol Americans and their education.

I feel this. Why not? Earth's overpopulated and if all you want to do is be a hiki before expiring, go for it.

Kellogg's wanted to cut wages and benefits for workers, but I bet you managers never faced the same threat. Shoulda trimmed the fat from the C levels to make up the shortfall.

These fags are just lazy. I just picked up a new job making 25 an hour and great benefits. Got the interview literally the day after applying.
