Yeah man, we really generated a lot of waste during that last hunt. Productivity is falling, profits are nowhere to be seen. And the shareholders? They don’t even exist yet, but we still have a fiduciary responsibility to bring next months hunt into the black. We are so proud of our team members!
I have never hated a comment so much but yet smashed that up arrow so hard
The hunt didn't produce the expected HoH margin, we need to do better! What's that? The village is drowning in unused meat? I don't care, stagnation is death, the HoH margin must go up!
We have to throw away half of the last hunt or else we'll depress prices!
Fuck I knew that might happen. Let’s cut the workforce by 50% to make our Q2 numbers look stellar. Don't worry, we’ll hire a bunch of college grads as contractors, and pay them peanuts, since money doesn’t exist yet. Since they are not actually employees, we don’t have to provide any benefits!
Their yearly pizza breaks were really sad too.
I had dreams of becoming a physicist because I was inspired early in life to learn about the world and add to human knowledge. I absorbed all I could about the universe and how everything works, I even got as far as placing into advanced classes in a local college, which I was getting 100% scores on... and like with nearly everything else I pursued in life, I had to quit because I had to pay for food and shelter in a crashing economy and lack of opportunities.
I don't remember a thing that I had learned, I still listen to science documentaries to fall asleep to. I have cycled through the corporate world several times over, lost everything, started over. Nothing gained, I am basically back to start, struggling for even less pay with fewer assets and absolutely no hope of continuing higher education.
I do think about how far I could have taken my ideas I had when I was younger, and what I could have added to our world if I were lucky enough to have been born into a life of generational wealth or been willing to compromise my morals to get ahead.
Aliens brought them capitalism. It’s why they invented the wheel.
(Shhh if republicans hear some illegal alien brought capitalism we will all have to become feudalists)
Yea, who needs dumb things like "visible progress within my lifetime"? It barely took 40000 years to go from stone to bronze, that should be good enough for anyone!
I knew a woman wants who thought, completely seriously, that there were no businesses before capitalism. Like you couldn't sell stuff. No Merchants I guess. I don't even understand how she thought the world worked for thousands and thousands of years.
She thought that it has always been Capitalism.
Those who control the resources - the owners - have always been in command.
Sounds profound, but hunter gatherers disagree, nonetheless.
