If billionaires could clone themselves to then execute their plans and exploit themselves, I would give them credit. Until then it would be physically impossible for them to make the billons they made without all of the people they “hired”(exploited). A great plan alone doesn’t make you billions.

Your workplace does not deserve your loyalty – YOU ARE NOT FAMILY

TW: Sexual Assault TLDR: I busted ass for a small business because I was told we were “family” for almost 5 years. Resigned after being sexually assaulted by a patient, then reprimanded and berated by my boss for taking my hour break to wait outside our office building till after the man had left. Have continued to bust ass for my remaining 2 weeks and asked last night if I could have a letter of referral to apply for future work – the answer was “no, I don't do that”. I will preface this by saying I am one of those people that loves to work. I take great pride in my work and saw it as an escape from external world problems.

“To enslave men successfully and safely, it is necessary to have their minds occupied with thoughts and aspirations short of the liberty of which they are deprived.”

“A certain degree of attainable good must be kept before them. These holidays serve the purpose of keeping the minds of the slaves occupied with prospective pleasure, within the limits of slavery.” -Frederick Douglass Worth a read. Crazy to think this was only a few generations ago. The dude died in 1895, that was only ~20 years before my grandparents were born. Slave owners were able to hoard huge amounts of unearned wealth, through the disgusting practice of slavery, making money through another human's forced labor. Just switch out [weekend] for [holiday] in the above quote… There's absolutely no parallels to our “modern” society and what we're seeing, though. /s
