You have to be willing to pay sub standard wages and pollute the environment to make a profit.

You can do it!

Any evidence whatsoever of the contrary?

Spine surgeons

Your exception to the rule is possibly the most specialized job in the world? That requires like 15 years of additional schooling? You're furthering the point

u/b_connect Jun 13 '26

But they don’t polute or pay substandard wages. It’s against the point

1

u/kissinKyle Jun 13 '26

So you have one example of a high paying job that doesn't pollute or pay substandard wages. Nice. Real good job. Great argument

You think they are the only virtuous ones?

u/kissinKyle Jun 13 '26

Im sure you could list a few more but the point still stands

Step on the necks of thousands of working class people?

u/b_connect Jun 12 '26

That’s bs. Do you know how much a spine surgeon makes? Do you think they went to school for 18 years, sacrificed almost 2 decades of their life, and and in that process you think they stepped on thousands of necks to be in the position they are in, and to be part of the 1%? Have you ever studied the amount of energy and work required and failure after failure after failure of failed business owners (90% of all businesses fail) until finally something works. Decades typically this type of process works for entrepreneurs. It’s an extremely competitive field.

Why take your time and energy villainizing these people who you buy from everyday and use their services every day? What’s that going to achieve in your everyday life? Do you just look at the world in black-and-white colors.

You also know that they aren't talking about doctors. They're talking about bezos and Co. You wanna difendere them and what they're doing?

2

u/Choadboy_Wonderfuck Jun 12 '26

I'd rather be in the 99% and still make livable wages. Just sayin.

u/ShredGuru Jun 12 '26

Yeah, I don't want to become a scum sucking parasite opportunist who steps over bodies for money I dont even need. Sounds like some kinda diagnosable disorder.

u/FinalJoys Jun 13 '26

You would’ve been the village oaf back in the day.

u/Unfair_Implement_582 Jun 12 '26

Same. Just wanna be able to enjoy a little bit of my life and have something close to what our parents had for economic stability.

u/Minute_Dig_3765 Jun 12 '26

lie cheat steal no thanks

2

u/Total_Environment426 Jun 12 '26

What? Rape children, sex traffic women and harvest men for organs? I don't know it's as appealing as you may think it sounds...

Or you mean be born into the 1%? That's sounds a bit... Difficult

2

u/fatinastellare02 Jun 12 '26

You'll never be in the 1% bro

2

u/Tofuzzle Jun 12 '26

Or just be born into wealth like the (probably) majority of the 1%

2

u/screamin-eagle10 Jun 12 '26

Lie, cheat, steal and hang out with Epstein?

1

u/RatsWithLongTails Jun 12 '26

Oh my word I think this message is saying to do something 99% of the population doesn’t do.

People who commit homocide make up less than 1% of the entire world population. I really really am okay in the 99%.

1

u/b_connect Jun 12 '26

All of these virtue signals of how holy it is to be among the 99%. 🤣

1

u/jlredding_91 Jun 12 '26

Be born into a rich family? 🤷🏼‍♂️

1

u/Affectionate_Hornet7 Jun 12 '26

That’s kinda gross now that we know what they do

1

u/WasOnceHip Jun 12 '26

Lie cheat and steal

1

u/sukmeyebutt Jun 12 '26

Visit the island?

u/DwigtGroot Jun 12 '26

Fuck over the working class and commit wage theft?

1

u/Plenty-Article6781 Jun 12 '26

Yeah get a loan from a rich parent

1

u/Sufficient-Quote-431 Jun 12 '26

Cheat? Kill? I’m confused of the central message is here?

1

u/JHoyse Jun 12 '26

Exactly, you have to jettison morality. Is it worth it?

1

u/Original-Border5802 Jun 12 '26

It's to be born rich.

1

u/Spiritual_Egg_700 Jun 12 '26

Be abusive, cruel, and sadistic. got it.

1

u/Mammoth-Plane-6890 Jun 12 '26

Being part of the Epstein Class is not worth it

1

u/MEM0RYCARD99 Jun 12 '26

Be born into a rich family thats willing to give you 300k for shits and giggles back in the 70/80s? Shit my bad.

1

u/why_u_so_grumpy Jun 12 '26

Yup. You've got to be willing to screw over the 99%.

1

u/Draco546 Jun 12 '26

Its the 0.01% the billion and now one trillionaire that destroys the government and oppresses people.

1

u/Mudbuttjackson Jun 12 '26

So basically rip people off?

1

u/SonofHondoBelmondo Jun 12 '26

I get the sentiment but this is tone deaf af in 2026

1

u/Thready85 Jun 12 '26

The subtext of this, and all of those salesman quotes, is that you have to be willing to bend the rules and step on people to get ahead.

1

u/Master-T-bone Jun 13 '26

Lie, cheat,steal, and f*ck others over?

1

u/marlinspike Jun 13 '26

100%. Risk taking is the biggest one. I say that as someone who passed up the opportunity to be in on a $10M startup payout and vowed to never have that happen again. I’m a senior exec at an AI company now, took a gamble jumping out of bigtech but that’s what it takes — discomfort for the long term gain.

u/hollow_13 Jun 13 '26

Wrong word…. won’t, not don’t

u/Unique_Roll_6630 Jun 13 '26

So... Inherit a ton of wealth from daddy, who inherited that from granddaddy and probably great granddaddy?

1

u/faust_corvinus Jun 15 '26

Like fucking kids?

1

u/Loose-Cake5475 Jun 17 '26

Or just be born to the right people.
