      yeah, anything above a certain percent I can see as theft from working class, but profit is expected to some degree. that alone doesn’t paint a full picture at all.

        Exactly. What really bugs me about lefty/antiwork sentiment lately is that it increasingly seems to be built upon and pushing fundamentally flawed black/white style concepts with unrealistic demands that don’t understand the nuances of the world we live in.

        This is antithetical to progress, it alienates many supporters and breeds politically useless extremism.

            Profit shouldn’t exist, period. Get yourself a salary there Executive man and stop playing god. There is one singular reason to care about profit, and thats to get on the stock exchange to start living like an American Sultan. Profit should not exist, that money should go back to the workers and society, not into the coffer tombs of self proclaimed giants.

              The world doesn’t work the way you want it to, and it never will, simply because people are too selfish. If it ever happens, it will be because we’ve transcended humanity and become something else.
