Oil Prices Go Down, Gas Goes Up

Yeah, welcome to the oligarchy!

How would this have worked in the Great Depression?

Thank God FDR was somewhat of a traitor to his class.

Social security shouldn’t exist. Another thing that has been bastardized and raped into the worlds largest Ponzi scheme.

I should be able to opt out completely if I want. I don’t need daddy government providing for me. Never have and never will.

Not only that - they would only repay a small fraction of what I actually invested. It’s a fucking criminal scam.

I would love if daddy gov’t provided for me, who would deny free money?

The majority of funding for both come from payroll taxes, so what the fuck are you talking about.

ā€œFree moneyā€.

There is no such thing unless of course you are a leach and it still isn’t free.

Somebody is paying for it. Plus the standard any government will provide is laughable in my opinion.

So what?

Just like all those mega-corporations that take 100’s of billions in government subsidies?

Oh you mean like those corporations that move to another country?

How is it a Ponzi scheme?

Of course it is explained as "vague’ by you. It goes against your make other suffer for the sake of the business philosophy. Thusly you wouldn’t be kind to ALL.

And what is your definition of morality? Can’t wait to hear you fumble your way around this definition.

So how are they making record profits? Are all these eaten up by inflation?

As a side note, that communist country England just passed a windfall tax bill on the gas and oil companies.

I employ myself. I don’t need a traditional business to make a living.

And you keep bragging about yourself, all the while admitting you’d make people suffer for the sake of the business. A real American patriot!

I mean technically they aren’t suffering since they made the choice to work for him. (But then again we have absolutely no idea of what his business is and how it impacts society)

I, too, have sold weed for profit, but that was when I was a dumb teenager with short-sighted ideas.

He wasn’t talking about employees suffering. I pay them well and 100% of their medical.

I want good employees that will stay and work, so I treat them fairly and compensate them above market.

So, your employment makes nobody suffer under your standard?

I highly doubt that.

That’s really cool dude, the company I’m interning at this summer treats employees in the same fashion.

I mean if you want good people that do a good job - you should pay them well.

My businesses are professional folks and skilled labor mostly.

After running a company for a few years, penalizing and treating employees terribly was the last thing on my mind. Keeping people, sustaining a good culture and keeping steady work was the focus. It’s never been more obvious who has no idea how the world works.

This is the stupidest thing in the world. I can’t say ā€˜Happy Thanksgiving’ anymore without offending someone.
