    it’s funny how most pro-capitalist simps imagine your initial experience with the old CEO as the “real capitalism” that is missing somehow. they want to put the genie back in the bottle.

    …not realizing it’s no different then remembering the “one good Emperor/king/dynasty” golden age between all the horrible baby butchering fiddle while it burns types and then the endless stream of royal failsons

    obvious solution is to democratize it all but all of us here know what that actually means the-doohickey porky-scared

      I think this is spot on. When you put that much unchecked power in one person’s hands, it’s just a dice roll. And with the class interests of workers and owners being opposed, it’s a weighted dice roll. I happened to get lucky that my despot was able to look past the next quarter’s profits. And now that private equity has fully taken over our industry, there’s no dice roll left. Everyone’s getting fucked no matter who they work for.
