Lol.
"I lie if I'm really cornered or something. I lie. I really try not to. I try never to lie on TV. I just don't—I don't like lying. I certainly do it, you know, out of weakness or whatever.
But to systematically lie like that without asking yourself why am I doing this? So if these people ask themselves why am I doing this? And they say, 'well, I want to protect the system because I really believe in the system.'
Okay, who's running the system? You're lying to defend Jeff Bezos? Like, you're treating Bill Gates like some sort of moral leader, like, are you kidding me? How dare you do that.
How dare you use your power to protect and guard the powerful even as you put your boot on the neck of the weakest people.
And I have to say, there have been many times in the 25 years I've been in TV where I think, 'You know, are we using this, like, very substantial power that we have to put pictures on the screen to hurt weak people?'
And I have done that, inadvertently over the years because I got carried away. But I really try not to."
Heard a funny theory the other day. The "labor shortages" are not a result of people who refuse to work. They are caused from the pre-covid employers market forcing low wage labor into getting better jobs.
I happen to know people who did exactly this, taking online classes for finance, and actually landing a job upon completion.
So this "labor shortage" is really just stubborn businesses that want to pay the same shit wages, but their labor pools moved onto better things. And they refuse to offer competitive salaries, so they're holding out on a stupid bet that eventually all the better jobs will fill up before their bank accounts bottom out, and they get the influx of the desperate.
No idea if it's whats really happening, but this sounds like a typical corporate behavior.
