    He should pay his employees more. I don’t care if he pays them twice the average for their positions, he is clearly wealthy enough that his businesses can afford it.

      The system we live under explicitly would label that guy an idiot.

      Why pay a pleb anything beyond what is necessary when you can keep it for yourself

        yeah, but that’s the societal trap. who cares what other people think if you know you’re doing the right thing by taking care of people who take care of you?

          and they own all the media to ensure that bootlickers think what they want.

          Something about camel passing through the loop of a needle.

          And there is a reason why Jesus didn’t negotiate with the money changers polluting the temple.

            I agree with everything you’re saying. Maybe since its so in-our-faces now, things will maybe change? time will tell.
