You dont ask for a raise. You get exactly what you deserve.
Hear me out:
No one ever gets a raise before they start doing the extra work.
It is always a case of "wow, we better give Alice a raise since she's doing so much and it would suck to try and replace her with someone else at her current pay".
So he fucks up and now has a massive 500 million dollar cash-in-hand windfall.
The irony.
This quote:
>She is expected to run the new board of directors, which will be composed of mostly women.
If she picks people on gender, color, etc instead of merit.... then that means logically that Merit and Ability is not the deciding factor in growing their investment.
When you choose people on their in group identities, as opposed to what it takes to run a business you are:
- sexist/ racist
- going to lose shareholders money since by definition the "best" are not in positions to give the best ROI
Who wants to make a bet via a secured Ethereum Smart Contract that within 5 years this company will be worth less than $500 million?
They are not the ones that took us to war with Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya.
The mainstream news is the one that is complicit in the spread of dangerous Conspiracy theories such as: "Saddam was behind 9/11 and has Weapons of Mass Destruction!"
Boom. 10,000's of US soldiers dead and many more crippled.
1 Million Iraqi people dead.
Infowars has more often than not been right on important matters.
Is Alex Jones over the top? Of course!
Are their Chem Trails and other conspiracy theories "out there"? You bet!
But look up MK Ultra on Wikipedia and other programs that the US/CIA ran and you will realize that truth is stranger and much more dangerous than the "conspiracy theories and the penis pills" that Alex Jones is talking about.
At least those Penis pills aren't like the Opiates and depression medication that kills 10's of thousands a year that MSNBC, Fox, CNN et al peddle.
Use your ability to think: this is an information war and the MSM is the most dangerous kind of "fake news" and they are fighting tooth and nail to be the ones allowed to define their competing broadcasters as "fake" (since Infowars is now becoming huge)
We're talking about human happiness, the capacity for love, freedom, and self actualization. Happiness.
We're not talking about buying overpriced liabilities such as fancy cars, furniture and clothes.
I make over 150k and it's awful working 160 hours a month.
Think about why this study is messed up:
Wage earners spend the Best part of day typically indoors, taking orders from another person.
Wage earners send their children to be taken care of by strangers.
Wage earners send their kids to the zombie factory (public schools)
The fact is that someone with a few million can:
- take care of their own children/babies
- educate their own children
- take care of their aging parents
- take care of sick relatives
- can explore the world
Don't tell me that having 2M in the bank will not make you, your family, and neighborhood FAR "happier" than someone making 300k in wage slavery.
I can tell you for a FACT that making that much money (millions) will objectively lead to higher quality of life for people and their families.
I'm personally working hard now to accumulate several investment properties and live free for life so that I can retire before 40 so that:
- I can raise my kids
- help parents, family, friends
- explore world and learn
- focus all my free time on healthy living
- get best medical treatments
You damn right it will make me happier to be able to do yoga 3 times a day, raising my kids and also building cool shit without Having to answer to a boss.
You know it's true that lots of money makes you immeasurably more fulfilled. Don't listen to socialist lies that you only need some bullshit 105k (<75k after tax)
If the debt is for a huge mortgage owning a 10 unit apartment building, but you are making a couple hundred bucks a month in net profit... then you do not feel pressure as compared to someone who took out a 30k loan to build a swimming pool.
These discussions about "income" are so skewed towards a certain type of income, namely wage income.
The people conducting these studies have their own biases: justifying taking other people's wealth via forceful means such as taxes.
