This was great! :D

[rubbleofempires]

@niriop Yeah, I really like it. But It seems like these are some of my least popular videos. I think maybe the fact that they're scripted puts people off.

[iremythpurr]

gray clothes and vodka? SIGN ME UP.

[rubbleofempires]

@iremythpurr It would definitely make waiting in the bread line more fun.

[iremythpurr]

@rubbleofempires

comrade, bread is inefficient. we will eat whole grains ground into paste.

[rubbleofempires]

@iremythpurr Of course, only once we have had our fill of the bourgeoisie.

I don't understand how people can identify with the capitalists. It's like we are fed this lie that ' you can be rich one day if you just work hard enough.' It's disgusting. A lot of people don't seem to get the concept of inherited wealth. That most of us stand on the shoulders of those who came before us in some way through inheritance. But still a lot of people will pull out the tired old " I worked for what I got" attitude.

@MensRifleAssociation I'm going to call bullshit on this notion that private sector is more efficient then public. My father works in the public sector as an engineer. They let private sector bid on projects and when the whole thing is said and done they always come in with shoddy work and higher then the estimated bid. I think it's just a commonly bought lie that some how private companies can do the work cheaper. The only thing they do cheaper is pay the workers less and work them harder.

(cont.) There is also a tremendous financial risk to those who start the business. A fast food worker isn't involved in any of this, or any average employee for that matter. Owners of business deserve to get more of the profit because they have a much more stressfull job and have taken much more risk in building a business.

[TimeTelescope]

You are absolutely right, and I would add the aspect of rent and mortgage payments, which most people must pay. Rent etc costs most people as much or more than income tax. Much more of this money goes in interest to banks than income tax. Yet you never hear people complaining about the parasitic rentier class taking their money and handing it to banks. Nonono - they are "wealth creators"!

[chocobosage420]

@shEvoDEevolution yes it is most obviously bullshit

[nails3jesus0]

My goodbye email to my current employer talks about the theft of labor value via hourly wages. I don't know if it will work though. People here are broke as shit and exploited by the church but always vote for the interests of the economic masters.

[NubianTribesman]

Amen.

[razzihel]

Can it be white clothes and vodka? Gray doensn't fitt me...

@rubbleofempires "This is only an argument if you value efficiency over freedom." Damm you! You beat me to it! I was going to say that =( ! Anyway... there is no guarantee that private busnisses will work more efficently. Having a factory full of disposable slaves working 'till they drop dead 24/7 is probably very efficent, specially if I don't have to pay them a penny...
