    Questions like these make me wonder if large capitalists actually live in an alternate universe but through some time and space shenanigans they are still here. There’s just no way they can make this type of shit up (assuming it’s a real question) without being delusional or sadistic.

      Of course there is: they want to implement doublethink. It’s a deliberate attempt to make workers not to pursue their own rational interest when it conflicts with corporate profits.

      I’m sorry to say but psychopaths walk among us every day, you just need to play the game, until you find a better gig

      You gotta have hr (the worker who defends the bosses interests) on your side if you wanna drop $300 on a ping pong table rather than raises.

          Just calculate the equivalent drop in working hours required to get a reasonable hourly rate, then spend the difference in time playing ping pong.

      They are either people in advantageous positions that benefit from this or people that are stupid enough to think they will one day be the rich benefiters of this so why should they shoot their future self in the foot right? Goes hand in hand with people that are stupid enough to keep voting right because they advocate for the poor so at some point surely something will change.

      These people live in the future where automatons make money for them for nothing. It’s why uber is pushing for automated cars. They don’t care about the present.
