@Greengordon @dyckron yeah, but that would mean people would face #WageWorkers and not have their #classist #segregation that all those rich wankers suffering from #EliteProjection have!

  • And people making 6 figures or more can't be expected to use the same transportation as minimum-#Wageworkers. They may have to subject themselves to eye-contact with a homeless person and that would shock them so hard that they may spill their chai latter over their iPad Pro during commute...

The same folks also want #zoox #RoboTaxis & #VoloCopter #FlyingTaxis so they don't have to #tip a driver/pilot or even fake politeness towards a #WageWorker!

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @AnarchoNinaAnalyzes the problem is they are way better at #Propaganda and #MassManipulation, otherwise no #WageWorker would vote for their candidates.

  • And that is literally the problem!

By the time we'd see any #uprising they'd already entrench themselves with people willing to mow down unarmed protestprs with belt-fed machineguns and automatic grenade launchers without hesitation.

@anon_opin not to mention:

People who "make a living" off "#ConditionlessIncome" aka. #RoboWealth with #CapitalGains, #Dividents, #InterestRates and #Rent should also be subject to the same #SocialSecurity and #Healthcare #Premiums and #Insurance terms as if they were #WageWorkers with the same #income.

  • After all, even a #Billionaire or #Investor can become #unemployed by virtue of loosing #wealth and/or unable to work by virtue of an accident, and it's safe to assume they could even become in need of permanent care.

So it seems fair to demand they also pay their "#FairShare", cuz if I as a #WageWorker can afford ~18% for #HealthInsurance and ~30% in terms of #IncomeTax, then they too can afford that!

@davidaugust nodds in agreement

And I think if any #Billionaire has self-preservation instinct left, they'd kinda not start pissing off more #Wageworker|s...

  • Cuz when people have nothing to loose they can get some very nasty ideas...

@threetails I think #juicero didn't die from that alone.

It's exceessive #DRM and absurd pricing including artificially shortened livespan of the consumeables as well as the pulic roasting by #Bloomberg AND it's absurdly, extremely, expensive machining that'll make aerospace engineers orgasm amidst it's absurd tightness with like guide pins so precise they are basically airtight...

  • This is machine was introduced at $700 MSRP and just by the parts alone must cost at least > €1k just in machining time alone!

OFC like with #GameConsoles up the 7th generation it was desined as "Razor and Blades model" so that the fact that said juice packs are only sold as subscriptions and used DRM was intended to ROI within like a year or two, and with the high price tag of the machine and subscription they propably wanted to release a premium product since the average #WageWorker can't afford to spend $2k+ per year just on fruit juice alone!

  • I think that they could've built something better and simpler with like a roller and a flat surface for way less money as a mass product or instead of generating a shitload of plastic to burn away, just build an easy-to-clean, commercial-grade juicer with like self-cleaning tech built in so it's easier for any café or bar to offer freshly pressed juice.

But that doesn't mean one would get like #subscription revenue unless it was a defectively designed product like the Ice Cream Machines at McDonald's USA with #AntiRepairDesign and nonsensical #UI & #UX instead of simple output (like the Ice cream machines in the EU and espechally Germany spit out on their LCDs) saying what's wrong or what the status is....

#LateStageCapitalism and #Enshittification is what juicero embodies, because the core product could've been a success with less #greed and more reasonable price and without DRM bs, because the core idea would make it a very clean, simple and accessible way to make fresh juice as they did in fact just bag up fruit to seeze.

It's just that the Enshittification turned it into a sort-of #SeeFood repitch at best and noone told the Engineers that this machine has to be sold at a reasonable price and with reasonable profit out of the gate, so they violated every rule in the book to make this a good product.

  • So not only does it come with an insultingly high price tag and burns #VCmoney faster than the #EvilCorp CTO but unlike the expensive proprietary razor blades like that Gilette stuff they didn't even deliver a good combo result at all.

This was an avoidable trash fire as they never sold the packs cheap in groceries nor the machine at an absurdly cheap price.

Bruh, I wish I could afford wasting > €1,4k just in subscriptions!

  • But I guess someone being able to pay > €400 one-way and Uber to their date isn't a #WageWorker...

Jokes aside, the #Enshittification is a real problem...

#Protip: "The only winning move is not to play!" or rather pay:

  • Noone forces you to have all these garbage subscriptions ffs!

@juliette Or even better:

  • Only have #SchoolBuses that ain't allowed to carry anyone but #Schoolkids and don't offer any #Buses at all because 'Everyone has #Cars so why would anyone want a #Bus?'

  • Only have Buses scheduled at useless times for any #WageWorker needing to #commute so they can't be at work on time if they use the #Bus.

  • Just don't run Buses when the road isn't cleared and have #SnowRemoval not reach the small villages before 10:00 local.

And then you get villages where basically everyone has to own a #4x4 because otherwise they can't get to work on time 1/4-1/2 of the year.

@thoughtpunks IMHO the #unequal #taxation of #income types is #ClassWarfare.

There's no non-classist asnwer to the question of "Why do #Billionaires not have to contribute the same if not more in both % and total amount of #taxes and fees than any #WageWorker?"

It's not as if prople like #Bezos can't get sick, become unable to work or manage their funds nor that they ain't also #extracting #wealth from #society...

#BuyBorrowDie should be illegal and #CaoitalGains should be taxed higher than #WageWork of equal payout!

@eosfpodcast Also make every billionaire pay at least the same social secrmurity amd healthcare insurance rates asba #wageworker - because having them not pay at least the same taxes and fees for their #RoboWealth is antisocial!

In return, they don't get disowned and/or thrown into a mob that wants to turn their pronouns into was/were non-consensually...

@maleve #ZoningLaws espechally in the #USA and #Canada are just #ClassWarfare against the non-#rich aka. #WageWorker|s by those living off #RoboWealth aka. #Capital...

There is no #HousingCrisis but a #Greedflation, because it's not a lack of homes but a lack of affordable homes !!!

@Strandjunker +9001%

Can we also bully #Billionaires into becoming mere Multi-#Millionaires too?

Cuz at a level of >$10M they'll make so much #RoboWealth they'll not have to seek #WageWork for the rest of their lives and can just live off #CapitalGains way more comfortable than any #WageWorker with a #job consisting of #HonestLabour!

@danilo Exactly that is the problem:

in #LateStageCapitalism one can be either #FilthyRich or have #Integrity and suffer as #WageWorker!

@elight The same question can be asked for any #antiCapitalist #WageWorker:

People either choose a job they like or they seperate work as a chore they need to do under threat of eviction and starvation...

I wish I had a more wholesome tone here, but not only would I find it dishonest but also would it be decoupled from the reality of #LateStageCapitalism ...

@Radical_EgoCom This is basically banning every #WageWorker from going to the library at the weekend...

@GhostOfRonald888 yeah.

Personally I want to see #SpaceKaren to become poor and get rejected as #WageWorker by everyone for being an asshole.

#Capitalism #InANutshell, because the average #WageWorker doesn't have sufficient #capital to #invest unless they coordinate on a grand scale.

And once they do it's being branded as "market manipulation"...

@rbreich not only can they afford it, but #CapitalGains being taxed not more than #WageWork is an insult to every #WageWorker who plays by the rules and pays their due share in taxes and social service contributions...

And that is the problem.
