    🙄

    CEOs lost their mind at the proposition of the 4 day work week.

    They want us poor and starving and unemployed and racist so we are at each others’ throats instead of theirs.

    And I predicted that Bill Gates is a sack of shit.

    I was right, he was wrong

    So far it has led to many people being laid off. Meanwhile Greece just pushed for 6 day working weeks with 13 hour work days, was it?

    Bill Gates is Trump’s little bitch. He doesn’t care about any of us any more than Elon or Trump himself.

    Hundreds of years ago we toiled in fields for 8+hrs to feed the family and keep a roof over our heads… since then, with all the technology and advancements to make our lives easier, we still work 8+hrs a day to feed the family and keep a roof over our heads… I doubt his claims

      Yes, but you see, we now have billionaires, and soon trillionaires, while we still have to work 8+hrs a day to feed the family and keep a roof over our heads. So… progress.

      With all this extra work, we are not only bleeding ourselves dry but also destroying our environment just to increase stock prices
