  • I don’t know any CEOs, but I’ve known many business owners in my life and I’ve been one. The majority absolutely despise payroll as their biggest expense. They hate their employees, which will be replaced as soon as technologically and financially possible.

    This is why there is a huge push for AI, every one of these greedy bastards would be perfectly fine with replacing every single employee. They see it as an improvement.

    We as a society in the USA have gotten businesses backwards and put the cart before the horse, in my opinion. Our goal shouldn’t be “shareholders will get the cream of the crop!”, that road simply leads to a small group of people being fabulously wealthy, they see their employees as a middle man that they would rather eliminate.

    We can change how corporations work at any time, but we’ll need to get rid of our government first. They won’t legislate themselves out of generational wealth, it’s a fantasy to think otherwise. Never, ever in the history of Earth has the ruling class decided “hmmm I’m starting to feel guilty about rolling around in a pool full of gold Krugerands maybe this is a little much”

    Think of all the wasted time for so many millions of people around the world

    Last week my television started translating programs into Spanish. No fucking reason. Far too much time wasted on a slow menu to fix.

    Recently, I could no longer use necessary phone app with no-option utility; due to the latest Apple OS update, it would no longer function. Time for a new phone to replace my few-years-old phone.

    A newer car from 2024… long story short, reflecting lights caused camera issues, triggering all sorts of driver vocal alerts like KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD. Off to the dealer. Later, updates change the user interface without warning; it’s like having all of the buttons on your dashboard rearranged spontaneously.

    All of these issues are on modern hardware that hasn’t been modified in any way.

    My apologies for losing my mind, first world problems. But it’s relentless
