I drink your milkshake! a metaphor for capitalism

[1989]

if unions were good enough, they would show wages adjusted for inflation over a long period of time.

I usually pay about $30 an hour. How much do you pay in wages?

i was watching what driveindriveout would call RT news propaganda, the show called "renegade inc", and they said the third world has gotten more poor relative to the developed countries. 60% of the world is in poverty.

he called for a democratization of the IMF and WTO i believe, instead of it being controlled by a few rich countries.

i offered a cash reward for anyone who successfully gets rid of my supervisor. alot of people feel the way i do.

i like putting my money where my mouth is unlike most people on browncafe who complain and proceed to do absolutely nothing.

chris hedges and "George Lakey, author of "Viking Economics: How the Scandinavians Got it Right and How We Can Too", joins Chris Hedges to discuss non-violent resistance against the corporate state. RT Corresponent Anya Parampil looks at successful non-violent tactics used in the civil rights movement."

they discuss how the nordic countries became the greatest countries on earth (take note america) if you exclude their ty weather. sounds like it happened during WWII also when america became a much better country than it was before with the new deal.

Paid assassination, good call kid. Your supervisor is likely not the problem, it's your complete lack of drive and motivation to succeed that's the problem.

haha whoever said anything about assassination?

hes 1 of my supervisors, not hitler, but they both have something in common

btw is that whats wrong with america: a complete lack of "drive and motivation"?

 

[rickyb]

if you replace taking orders from hitler with taking orders from your boss, you might be able to connect the tyranny of capitalism and political dictatorships.

wonderful capitalism.

10% of New York City Public School Students Were Homeless Last Year

The number of homeless students in the New York City public school system rose again last year, according to state data released on Tuesday. The increase pushed the city over a sober milestone: One in every 10 public school students was homeless at some point during the 2016-17 school year.

i saw another interview on what driveindriveout would call rt propganda: renegade inc, and the economist steve keen who accurately predicted the 2008 financial crisis, said that charging large tuition has lowered the quality of education because students are trying to figure out how they are going to afford education instead of studying.

Government funded Russian media sure does spend a lot of time talking about the United States. Curious. Hundreds of people were arrested in Russia for protesting Putin last weekend, why have you not mentioned a single thing about that? Maybe because you get all your information from the Russian government and they blacked out coverage of it.....

actually the US is my primary interest and most of the people i listen to are american. most of the shows i watch on RT are americans talking about whats wrong with america. if you want to get coverage on russia, then dont watch RT obviously. i cant really comment on US / Russia relations, but i wouldnt really recommend RT for that unless you really trust the journalist. I really trust chris hedges and abby martin who used to do a show on RT.

i find america most interesting because its the empire and everyone knows it too.

if you want to be honest about RT, how much have you watched? you never answered.

there are better sources of media, like democracy now and the real news, but alot of shows on RT are damn good.

liberals are all the same: they hate julian assange, they hate RT and havent hardly seen it, they think russia is responsible for trump winning. i have a friend like you guys. hes jewish. likes regulated capitalism. he probably likes the very things that will cause the next holocaust.

I hope when you grow up, you decide to start contributing to society and take your passion for hating the United States, and channel it into positive action in the country you actually live in.... rather than just parroting online radicals and complaining in your parents' basement.

yea i do. i donated over $6000 this year, amongst other things.

what do you do again? be honest.

So you go to work, and complain to all your coworkers about capitalism.
You come home, and complain to all of us about capitalism.
Yet your idea of positive action is taking the money you earned in a capitalist economy, and throwing it at charities....

Do yourself a favor, take some of that money, and pay someone to take your virginity. I really think that will help you start to get your attitude about the world and your place in it straightened out.

Should have used that $ to start your co-op. I had less money to my name when I started my company.

what do you pay your workers and how much do you profit off them every hour on average.

i take that as you do all of nothing, like most browncafe members.

whats the point of being political if your not going to do anything?

btw a majority of americans in their 20s prefer socialism to capitalism.

unlike you, i honestly answer questions including saying i dont know
