    you’re just leeching off from someone else’s hard work

    so are the people profiting from said work. the owners of the business keep the revenue, they don’t give it to the people who did the hard work.

      The people who did the work are employees, and they’re paid according to the task they perform. Companies get a share obiusly, because that’s the business model, they’re the ones who have to put in place a workplace, assemble a team, acquire resources and so on

        justifying the expropriation of surplus value through tired liberal platitudes - it’s almost like someone wrote a book 200 years ago explaining in gratuitous detail why you’re wrong.

        Bootlickers like you also make this claim to justify insulin having thousands of percent markup from the cost of manufacture.

          That’s the system working as intended. Also no sympathy for diabetics, just as smokers with lung cancer, they get that for being fat and eating shit

            You are an incredibly ignorant person if you think hereditary diabetes doesn’t exist or that everyone that got diabetes through poverty and bad living conditions “deserved” it.

            I am not diabetic and am in pretty great health myself, but unlike you I am able to care about other people.

        Its just the business model for leeches at the top to siphon off all the value created by peopoe who actually do the work. This is why pirating is so awful. Think of the C-suite overlords and shareholders!!!
