    So a billionaire is a real job now? I don’t even have to imagine a billionaire being a pig, they all already are!

        This is just a stock image but it’s not hard to imagine it being in a children’s story. Besides, Scrooge McDuck is an existing character in a children’s story that is a billionaire as a duck.

            their “job” is literally none other than being rich

            throwing money is part of that

            the other part is swimming in a pool of money

              Swimming in a pool of and throwing money arent jobs, they are hobbies

              If they dont do anything other than that, they are jobless

          At least Scrooge McDuck isn’t portrayed as having a healthy relationship with wealth.

        that’s what I’m saying, but a pig could be it in a children’s story

          All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

          In this hypothetical situation, if you can’t imagine a fanciful depiction of a pig doing it, then it isn’t a job. But the opposite isn’t necessarily true. Just because you can imagine a fanciful depiction of a pig doing it doesn’t necessarily mean it is a job, just that it could be.

    Isn’t there a very famous children’s story about a pig that is more equal than the other pigs?

    Am I missing the obvious sarcasm that is somehow not mentioned? as in this pig is an obvious CLASS TRAITOR for being a pig that sells parts of (presumably) other pigs?

    Dumb question: what is this illustration from? I recognize the art style, but can’t place it.

    How am I supposed to imagine a clothed pig splicing fiber cables or setting up a rack full of communications equipment with fiber patches. They don’t even have opposable thumbs, how can they unplug an LC plug with its retention clip?

    If my job isn’t real I’m taking the internet down with me, then he can read his hand drawn memes to his neighbor.
