Investors are shit. If your company can't make it on the profit from the product or service, it shouldn't exist.
At the same time, any company large enough to capture more than half the marketshare of any single segment should be broken up into at least 3 companies.
And private equity companies buying up small companies and then trading them like playing cards should be banned as well.
I'm so tired of these lazy, fat, investor class chuckle fucks getting handouts from the government.
The people running private equity companies should just be shot
Well, once again Mr TexasDrunk, I find we agree. I just have to couch my words, as we need to "turn down the temperature" or some bullfuck.
Yeah, I know, but I'm hung over and having a bad day. Those people bring nothing to society and in most cases actively harm their employees and customers before gutting businesses, taking the money, and starting over on the next business.
Fuck them, fuck their mom, fuck their dog, fuck the horse they rode in on, fuck their grocer, and fuck them again just for good measure.
Hope you get to feeling better man. And I agree. I work for a company that was bought by private equity and it's just hot fucking garbage. Multiple times a day I dream of setting the equity partners on fire.
Appreciate it. I did a 45 minute set tonight and now I'm getting drunk. The bad shit is all melting away!
I worked for a company where that happened a decade and change ago. It was a total shit show. I was lucky and got out.
Comedy or music? Either way, I'm so interested in the vibe of what it may be.
Heavy rock music, mostly pop covers that we converted but we had to play my friend's original about fucking his ex girlfriend's sister about halfway through and a blues/rockabilly song another friend wrote about only missing a woman when he's drunk to close out.
Now I'm watching a hard rock band cover a bunch of shit from the 50s. This is pretty cool.
Damn! Sounds like a hell of a show man!
Usually is! Except the time my lead guitar player/singer got too drunk before we went on and pissed himself then passed out halfway through the set.
I'm a Texas Drunk. He's almost THE Texas Drunk. Except that trophy belongs to a friend that doesn't live here anymore who I've personally watched kill half a handle of whisky and be functional enough to get a ride home.
When I used to drink I was somewhere closer to your singer than the trophy holder.
So glad weed helped me quit drinking.
It's hard out here. They get drug tests because of the nature of their jobs. Weed just isn't for me. I wish it was because the calorie count is so much lower.
If you aren't aware already check out Leo Morrachioli
Does metal covers of pop songs. Hes fantastic. Highly recomend his version of toss a coin to your witcher, and watching the video for final countdown just to see him "bring out the smaaaall drums!"
I forgot about him! I remember his Feel Good Inc nearly a decade ago then I just never heard about him again.
Thank you for reminding me.
Fair. I've been job hunting, so I stopped smoking for the last few weeks. But it was much easier than quitting drinking ever was.
Hey now, that grocer is just a dude providing food to their community. Unless they Kroger/Vons/etc, then yeah fuck them.
I’m so tired of these lazy, fat, investor class chuckle fucks getting handouts from the government.
This is a primary purpose of the state. It was literally created as a protection racket for slavers.
In this damn country, slightly slowing down the growth of rich people’s investments is a more effective argument against something than literally killing your customers. If gutting net neutrality takes money out of normal people’s pockets and makes things a bit more difficult for them, then everything is working as intended.
The US has no term limit for supreme judges. They are literally mini dictators.
This wasn't the supreme court...
Not really the point, because this case would go to supreme court if they didn't like the ruling.
Republicans strike again
The correct term today is Nazis
We need to make a list of them and remove every one of them, period.
Democrats constantly working with republicans to legitimize and violently enforce the system that they both serve.
You know, if the rules for government handouts were more open, another company could gain ground. Just pointing out something congress controls.
You want a government handout, just ~~bribe~~ contribute to the super PACs of the right number of Congress people.
Really it's one of the best investments a company can make. Doubly so if you're related to one.
It was legal before, wonder why they didn't use that precedent
Its a bit of a stretch, but slavery was legal before too.
Unfortuanlty, if "it was legal before" was a valid argument, a lot bad stuff can come back too.
However, in this situation, it sucks.
This just feeds into my fear that the current internet is going to die at the hands of corpos. As a result, my paranoid ass has been buying up modems in the event we need to start from scratch.
Hey the billionaires already purchased the government. It's not like they can do us any favors. Maybe we should ask for smaller things like please don't start a war in the next 4 years again. Could we for once just let putin have it for like 4 weeks in a row and call it done?
