2. No spam or reposts + limit off topic comments


Spamming posts will be removed. Reposts will be removed with the exception of a repost becoming the main hub for discussion on that topic.

Off topic comments that do not pertain to the post at hand may be removed if it is deemed they contribute nothing and/or foster hostility at users. This mostly applies to political and religious debate, but can be applied to other things at the mod’s discretion.


3. Post must have Antiwork/ Work Reform explicitly involved


Post must have Antiwork/Work Reform explicitly involved in some capacity. This can be talking about antiwork, work reform, laws, and ext.


4. Educate don’t attack


No mocking, demeaning, flamebaiting, purposeful antagonizing, trolling, hateful language, false accusation or allegation, or backseat moderating is allowed. Don’t resort to ad hominem attacks against another user or insult other people, examples of violations would be going after the person rather than the stance they take.

If we feel the comment is uncalled for we will remove it. Stay civil and there won’t be problems.


5. No Advertising


Under no circumstance are you allowed to promote or advertise any product or service


6. No factually misleading information


Content that makes claims or implications that can be proven false or misleading will be removed.


7. Headlines


If the title of the post isn’t an original title of the article then the first thing in the body of the post should be an original title written in this format β€œOriginal title: {title here}”.


8. Staff Discretion


Staff can take disciplinary action on offenses not listed in the rules when a community member's actions or general conduct creates a negative experience for another player and/or the community.

It is impossible to list every example or variation of the rules. It is also impossible to word everything perfectly. Players are expected to understand the intent of the rules and not attempt to "toe the line" or use loopholes to get around the intent of the rule.


9. No posting links to Twitter/X or Meta owned properties


Social Media products such as Twitter/X and Meta Properties (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Threads) are known low quality information sources - they actively spread misinformation without sufficient moderation, hate speech. These platforms each have billionaire owners working actively to eliminate labor protections through direct action, lobbying, performative large scale layoffs and attacks on institutions that enforce labor law.

You are not encouraged to do so, but you may post screenshots from these sites IF THE INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE ON ANOTHER VALID PLATFORM. Screenshots must include info to support a relevant conversation within this community and must show a VISIBLE time/date stamp for posterity. If you are caught manipulating content of a screenshot, your post will be removed and you will receive an indefinite ban from this community at the discretion of the moderator(s)

No pass through/archive services are allowed as they potentially feed traffic back to these services, directly or indirectly (e.g. Services like Xcancel or Nitter)

If I even made 1/100th of that I’d never work a day in my life again.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There are people who retire on 1/1000th of that. This man made almost a lifetime's worth of money in the same amount of time it takes most people to get a single good night's sleep. Truly unfathomable wealth hoarding behavior

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago

Your point stands but I wanted to do the math

$896,700,000 in a year

= $2,456,712.33 every day

= $818,904.11 every 8 hours

The average salary in the US is $53,490

It would take 15.3 years of working at that salary to make that much money.

The average person works 40 years of their life so their lifetime pay is equal to how much this chucklefuck during 2.6 nights of sleep.

Modern day vampire that lives off the blood and lives of millions of people.

Fire up the Luigi signal.

[–] RvTV95XBeo 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It makes sense, he clearly worked ~8000x harder than I did. For each hour I limped through labor on my job that absolute unit was doing the equivalent of a year's worth of work with no breaks or sleep.

Oh wait, no he didn't, fuck that rich asshole.

I like how they photoshopped Mr. Burns into this picture.

Well. Making heritage automatically go to the state would certainly solve something.

The heritage would go to the states where the money was made if it is big enough, so like more than 1mio and it gets divided into the residencies of the actual shops, companies etc, preventing post box companies on the seychelles.

Wait, there's a Blackrock and a Blackstone?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Blackstone is private equity; Blackrock is fund management.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's also a black rock coffee

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Had to look it up but sure, except it's separate words for Black Rock (Coffee) vs. one word for BlackRock (Investments).

At least buy yourself some white teeth.

He looks like Mr Burns.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

He also backed Trump because of "rising antisemitism" - failure to Kent State genocide protests at universities.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

He just has a head you want to give a noogie to
