WTF, is this real, what are these pieces of shit!
Do they realize that their employees will just look for better jobs and ultimately the costs will have to be passed to their customers or taken out of their bonuses?

Not necessarily, their reasoning is brutal but sound. Wages can in fact be squeezed down, I noticed a fast-food joint near my home that was offering 13.50/hr two months ago offering 9.00/hr for the same job now. We had a brief period where wages were unusually high but it's over now.

This tends to be a weird case of the Prisoner's Dilemma. It's better for businesses if they offer higher wages because then people have the money to buy more product which increases their revenue. However each business has an incentive to drop their own wages to reduce cost, and gains a significant advantage if the other business pays more wages (after all, the other business's employees may buy their product), so ultimately they all squeeze wages as much as possible and get a bad end where people can't afford as much product and everybody's revenue drops.

Yeah, well, some desperate people might take it, but do you think they will stay there and not bolt at the slightest choice?

Stupid, short-sighted, greedy fuckers.
TBH all these years of low interest rates, "growth", and high levels of outsourcing and incoming migration have made these shits complacent and dumb, and they see and treat staff even worse than bosses in Eastern Europe shitholes.

It is gonna be delicious when all these companies are gonna be forced to cut all the HR/middle management bloat. :D

Hard to say they aren’t incorrect, but that is wayyy too blunt for Corp speak for it to work it would need to be couched in diversity and inclusion

We are shambling straight back into feudalism and the useful idiots who proclaim to be communists are cheering it on, If that is not irony I don't know what is.

Sounds like the underinvestment variant of Tragedy of the Commons.

I'm not sure it's real, but with a country this big there's bound to be someone who says the thing you're not supposed to say.

TBH the part that makes me more suspicious is the supposed timeline of "Boss sends the thing -> absolute brown noser sucks up -> Boss is inspired by brown noser to forward his own message to someone he didn't already send it to last time". Again, with enough monkeys at enough typewriters everything will happen, but this just seems a little too on the nose.

Rhodesia was a breadbasket of Africa, but as Zimbabwe it went to mass starvation, yet the regime is still in power.

Zimbabwe has been held up artificially by outside powers for quite some time. What happens to them when their not being propped up by aid anymore? What happens to them when the UN cant send them supplies to buy support?

Zimbawe is 1.6 times bigger then the UK, their a much smaller country that used outside support from the soviet union, bleeding hearts and China to maintain power, but even then there were rebellions even then there was a whole lot of anger, and the dictator had a lot more legitimacy as some one who came up through revolution, and he had the support of the largest ethnic group in the country and even with all of that his power was shakey.


The united states is the 4th largest country in the world, were the 3rd most populated country in the world.

Zimbawe only has to control 15 million people in a country a little over the size of England, we have states that are larger and more populated then them. Thats a whole lot harder to control.


The united states already has the largest prison population on earth and we had problems paying for that shit before the economy tanked. Police states are expensive and when you treat your enforcers like shit and the democrats do that the only loyality you get is bought loyality with a paycheck, and the pay isn't that great.

So when you get mass starvation because of stupid shit in a country that large, a country that populated and a country that is the single biggest bread basket on earth....that means you fucked up bad.

Were a major food exporter we are fully capable of making our own fertalizer to have a fuck up of this magnatude means you have shit the bed so badly that you don't get loyalists you get rats fleeing a sinking ship. If that happens the best case senerio for the dems is that they are massively evicted from power for a decade. Because once again this is a nigh unprecidented fuck up.

The worst case senereo is that get put up against the wall and shot.

But like I said you have to absolutely fuck up to get those kinds of numbers, and not normal fuck up either.

How much is secession in the probability to get their own currency away from the US dollar?
