The beauty is we don’t have to thank them, they have been well rewarded for their risk. Innovation pays off. Any many many people have jobs because of their “evil” companies and many many others.
Yes but they choose to. I live five minutes from three supermarkets.
I mean,,,, what?? I am not disposessed of land, resources or whatever... I’m having a hard time trying to envision what it is your getting at.
My argument doesn't turn on considering billionaires "evil". This whole society is an empty fraud. It's a BS "system." And besides, the billionaires wouldn't exist without us, admittedly under conditions of duress, working so that they can reap their silly fortunes.
That's because you feel at home in a way of life that seems alien to me. For example, let's say I've finished paying my mortgage. People say that's a good way to achieve "independence" and "stability", and besides, if you rent, you know you're gonna keep paying til you're dead. But, oops, I've paid my mortgage and I still have to pay property taxes for the house/land. I want to work on the house, oops, I need to pay a permit fee. I "own" it, and yet, I'm still renting it and paying for the blessing to modify it.
Yes, I feel comfortable. I’m still trying to figure out what you would feel comfortable and unalienable to you.That's because you feel at home in a way of life that seems alien to me.

I have a different understanding of freedom than you. It seems you feel "free" while at the same time being dependent on a company that has interests alien to yours and mine. That's fine, your life, I just hope you don't turn into a scab like @satellitedriver and start singing the praises of the company. I only say that because you seem primed.
Seek professional help.
I relish that you think this is a trump card.
You're as much a coward as my district labor manager, who kicked me out of my local hearing because my audacity baffled him. You're only showing your own weakness, my good scab-shrink.Short answer is yes. I have a choice. Right now business is booming and we are pulling down $7k a week. I’d rather make a bit less and work less but I’ll take more time off in February.
Oh trust me I rip on things the company does, decisions made etc. but overall it’s a great gig for me.. just too much of a good thing some times.
They have more drivers and pvds than ever. Our volume is the same as last year but have 30 more drivers than two years ago. Peak isn’t run the same as it was back in the day.
So you don’t want business to be involved in our life and you don’t want government involved either. Probably on some things I’d agree with the latter lol. But overall I still don’t get the world you want to Iive in.That's because you feel at home in a way of life that seems alien to me. For example, let's say I've finished paying my mortgage.

Over 60 hours last two weeks plus a Saturday sort. Never had this much work.
It's hilarious that you think CNN is the "Voice of Communism" when it's just milquetoast liberalism! Imagine a major media corporation being committed to its own demise lmao!
You write a lot of pretty words but say little. What would you replace it with? Work is still going to be required I’m guessing? I get that you feel enslaved because your working for a living and someone else controls to an extent when and how you work. But regardless of the economic system in place your going to be responsible to contribute somehow right? TANSTAAFL (“There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.)
That's the rub. I say it's not a "choice" that I can sell my time/labor for another company, or else start a company and hire others do the same. "Meet the new rulers, same as the old." A choice would mean that I/you/anyone would not face dreadful obstacles to living another way. But that's not really possible as long as we live in a society based on wage labor. It is imaginative leap. But it's high time to stop dreaming the dreams of this bankrupt society.
I’ll ask once again, what is this alternative way of living in which we don’t work but we have all we need? I get that you don’t want to work for a living...please explain the alternative? Maybe I can learn a better way.
