I'm so tired of rich white people telling me I don't work hard enough as I literally work my life away. I'm sure basically everyone that reads this comment has worked more in the last 5 years than these people have worked in their entire lives.
Elon musk has nearly a trillion dollars, but somehow is ceo of like six companies and still has time to fuck up our government and be a public asshole. There’s no way he works as hard in each one of those jobs as I do in mine because he’d have to put in more hours per week than there are available to work those jobs. Salary is not tied to effort in today’s society.
Elon Musk is the worst. All billionaires are abominations, but he absolutely takes the cake. He's not just fucking up shit in the USA, he's going around the world, from country to country, spreading the same hateful message.
Even if he was not a total public asshole, this alone proves that "being CEO" is something not nearly as hard as advertised and in this case, it has to be a part-time job.
It never was. Owning things has always paid better than doing things. And even for those drawing a salary, the low-paid have always had to work harder, in worse conditions, than the well-paid. Having done both, that's been my anecdotal experience too.
In 2025 Congress almost met fewer days in 2025 than they have in a decade (2nd only to 2021 during COVID). Conservatively I work 240 days per year and their average is about 125.
I would pay an entire days worth of wages to see a politician in his button up shirt do hardscaping for a day. I bet this sack of shit wouldn't even make it to lunch.
Harder than those lazy sitouts who handed the other side and the orange buffoon the govt? No sympathy tor the bozos who couldve avoided this clownshow but chose not to.
Except the mob who did that deed was more comparable to a January 6th US Republican lynch mob than actual revolutionaries. It was the leaders which they ate who were considered progressive for their time.

Yeah I was just thinking the fact that he is a politician is proof positive he doesn't do shit.

How many times has Mike Johnson sent the House on vacation now? How long did their government shutdown compare to other shutdowns?
It's just worthless shit stirring and value signalling for a base that doesn't care about the truth.

That's unfair, sitting in Congress is only part of the job. They also have to have steak and lobster dinners with other even richer assholes.

Crab was considered poor people’s food in centuries past

So was lobster. Ever notice how rich people keep taking food for poor people and "reinventing" it so poor people can't afford it anymore?

spock@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 56d
They are also not paid very much so steak and lobster would represent a significant waste of money, or that they are not paying for it.

The people who vote for this trash tell themselves that as bad as it is it would be unbearably worse under democrats.
And the sad thing is, for them it probably was bad under democrats and Trump promised it would be better so there is still hope.
