But I’m different. I’ll be the benevolent exploiter and all my employees will be happy and we’ll have parties in the break room all the time.
What’s better than pizza parties to make your employees feel not exploited?
oh, i know this one! It’s two pizza parties!
No, next it will be a mandatory happy hour.
Stuffed crust, King Kai! You can eat them in reverse!
“Hope you’re all enjoying your pizza there, guys, it just shows how much fun this company is to work for. But time’s a wastin’. Rest assured there will be more company-sanctioned fun soon”
Funny how the American dream and the Ferengi dream are the same exact thing…
I’m starting to think the Ferengi were some kind of, like, caricature to make a statement about unbridled capitalism… naw it’s just sci fi not some kind of social commentary hahaha
Political commentary? In my star trek???
“It’s a military show”
I’ve been personally thinking about ways I could use my future earnings and financial status to give back in addition to advocacy/volunteer work and giving to mutual aid.
I don’t have the legal or real estate knowledge to know how to actually make this happen, but I think there is space for a model where people could use their ability to get a mortgage to build/buy multi-family housing and lease-to-own it at-cost to a housing co-op in a type of Ulysses Pact that will create below-market-rate housing.
I envision some kind of standard contract for something like this akin to open source licenses or most housing rental agreements, so that it’s easier for more people to emulate a similar setup.
