    Don’t you see? Rich people create jobs! Migrants just sit around and collect money from the hard work of everyone around them!

    Oh wait, it’s the opposite isn’t it…

      Migrants create jobs and rich people don’t work ?

        If you think any billionaire “worked” for the amount of money they have, you’re sorely mistaken. It’s a byproduct of a flawed economic system, not their “work ethic.” Not to say capitalism doesn’t have it’s benefits, but it’s the system in which capitalism is allowed to operate that produces inequalities like that.

        Yes. Considering the net loss in population and the its aging, an influx of new people generates new consumption and opportunities for market growth, and sustains socialized systems like pensions and health care, albeit over a long period.

        On the other hand, billionaires hoard disgusting fortunes like fucking dragons to the detriment of society at large. They thus deserve to be slayed, like we would dragons.

        Did you know some of the original guillotines already exist?

        The rich can only “create jobs” because we have an economic and political system that skews reward toward investment rather than labor. Both are important, but let’s not pretend that anyone can earn a billions without excessive wage theft from the people doing the actual labor.

            Funny how the ceo couldn’t assume and financial risk towards better safety measures, eh?

            Like when his engineers recommended them and got shitcanned for it.

            Achieving safety goals is for the poors.

        I up voted you because you aren’t wrong. At least in the sense of sweat shops. May not be good jobs, but they do technically count as jobs.

          Not only sweat shops, if there is a little of human rights they can create pretty good working conditions and with competition salary rise up

            You’re kidding yourself if you think any investor would pay more than the absolutely minimum for labor. That’s the issue, regulatory capture impedes labor rights and lets investors and capitalists exploit workers by doing the absolute minimum and nothing more. Any more, and another capitalist can come in and undercut and steal business.

            This is why strong labor protections, efficient regulation, and competent governance is an absolute necessity to the growth and wellbeing of citizens beyond “the wealthy”

        The wealthy don’t “create” anything. Consumer demand creates jobs. Workers create the products and the value.

        The only thing the wealthy have is the capital, which they gain by siphoning off the excess value the laborers create.
