Probably unpopular, but I don't care what side you're on, if your company is basically a monarchy, you don't deserve to exist. How is this any different than a landlord just collecting rent? You sit there and "own" the company you inhereited while hundreds of other people do your work for you and you profit off of it. And then you don't even give anyone else a chance to run it, only your nepo babies. If your company is just a means to serve your own family and nothing else, it would be better replaced by someone else.
It's almost as if they want to destroy small businesses, to be replaced by giant mega-monopolies focused only on expanding profit.
That's crazy though, it's not as if our government is financed by evil corpo-fascists.
OR IS IT
Fucked around.
Found out.
Tradition doesnt replace intelligence and paying attention. It’s lazy. It is never a safe bet.
It's not a disaster. It's a lesson. Hopefully they learn something from it.
Morgan Freeman Narration:
They did not.
Learning is for libruls and children. And he ain't no librul.
Thoughts and prayers.
Perhaps if they had prayed harder, believed harder, held on longer for the Great Lord Trumps promises to be allowed to come to fruition? [sarcasm].
Eat shit losers.
You were warned this would happen you stupid fucking assholes. I hope you starve.
And they delighted in the "liberal tears" of those who warned them.

Yeah, that's a shame. ANYWAY . . .
Follow shit, you risk falling in it
All I can say is good. Get educated before you vote you dumb fucks.
Where's my tiny violin?
How long until people realize these crooks are not on their side, in a big club of their own, and are treasonous.
Time to leave the divisive groupthink traps they set up for us to fall into to turn against each other?
Xenophobia is a hell of a drug
I’ve been asking that since the 80’s. So far it’s only gotten worse.
Yeah, I've got to absolutely cease thinking people will figure it out.
They're not figuring anything out.
They're hijacked, so their limbic system takes over, and their frontal lobe stands down, and atrophies.
... Incidentally, playing in the background here as I write this reply, is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Da8mEBnpB_8 which pretty much says such at the start. The manufactured sideism and frauds to terrorize us, keeping us divided and conquered, and then victim blaming the victims of this terror, calling the victims (both sides), the terrorists.
I guess we have to find better ways of helping people see through this con, than just asking how long until people realize, like we're merely waiting, like we're insane, doing this same thing, like we expect it to work...
Cultist weirdos
