I’ve noticed this trend at several of my businesses. It’s impossible to find good help, I even offer all sorts of fun perks like themed thursdays where everybody has to dress up to match whatever theme I pick and whoever does it best gets a Starbucks gift card. Whenever it’s somebody’s birthday that person brings in pizza for everybody to share.
I think the pandemic and government hand outs have made people extra lazy, even more than they were before.
Hi, landlord here and I want to clear up any misconceptions. I don’t build any houses, I only buy them up and then rent them out at a profit.
This is a great innovation by Phillips, and it follows rule 8 from my best selling business book, “12 rules for business”.
Rule 8: The business is always right - never give customers a choice when you can dictate the terms to them instead.
It’s good practice to buy at least one or two new smartphones per year.
You’re confused. An honorable and successful landlord such as myself would not be caught dead walking around in a goofy looking hardhat swinging a wrench around or whatever construction people do.
That’s not a bad idea. Then once I’ve gotten the employees to donate a certain amount like $5,000 I can deliver it to the charity myself in the form of a big cardboard check, and do a photo op and put it in the company newsletter so everybody knows how good I am.
Happy to rent to you! Let’s not get confused though, you’ll be paying for all of your own living expenses as well as for mine. Due every month on the first.
It’s quite a big distinction to me, I’m not a fucking construction worker. Gross. I also don’t usually pay anybody to build a house, I mostly scoop up already existing homes whenever there’s a market crash and the lazy poors get foreclosed on.
It’s surprising that in all these years, nobody came up with this innovation to make Twitter more profitable but in just a short time period, Musk was able to figure it out. Goes to show why he’s the richest man in the world!
No, I’m quite literally not, in any way. I’ll take just one of my many investment properties to explain to you how dumb you’re being. This house was built in a suburb of San Diego in 1979 and sold for $25,000. The people who built it are possibly dead by now and were, all together paid $25,000 for the land together with the house that they built. It changed hands many times, at some point a bank foreclosed on whoever was living there, and I bought it from the bank. The house is worth $775,000 dollars now and I rent it out for $3,500 a month. Every 7 months I make more money renting out this house than the people who built it were ever paid for doing that, and me buying it had absolutely nothing at all to do with it getting built.
Please stop trying to make me out to be a construction worker. I’m not, I’m a landlord and proud of it.
Solid business decision by Spotify here, I support this move. I’ll probably switch over to them from YouTube music.
Your argument is that there is NOT a significant difference between me building a house vs me buying a house 50 years later. As for the properties that I’ve put into my infant son’s name already, he pretty much built those houses himself right? No difference.
Take the L you fucking loser. You will never smear my son and I as being measly construction workers.
This is what I love about the free market. You can change the world by drinking the right sodas!
I got 15 of my properties from my father. I paid nothing at all for them, to anybody.
No it’s not. The value of my house has literally nothing to do with how much it cost to build, it’s so wildly disconnected, I used the actual numbers to show you that and you’re still being an insufferable moron about it.
He didn’t pay anybody anything you fucking dipshit, he can’t even hold a spoon.
No he didn’t lol.
Gifts to the builders? What the fuck are you on about? Money does not travel backwards in time.
No, I don’t.
This is egregious big government overreach impeding business and free trade
They’re both too old! And McConnell is a rhino who secretly is best friends with Nacy Pelosi and senator Feinstein. They all sit around together on the weekends babbling, freezing, forgetting where they are and pooping their pants like little babies.
I’ve purchased dozens of properties and inherited dozens more, you’re just jealous of my immense success.
Sounds like a great and exciting innovation. I can’t wait to see more relevant ads based on my own personal interests!
Yawn, get back to work plebe
Because we know that when you’re working from home you’re just playing TikTok and eating cheese puffs for half the day. When you’re in the office the manager can help you stay focused and get more work done. Plus, you don’t have the same kind of camaraderie and team spirit over a zoom call. I used to go into the office at my business several times a month just to tell my employees how much I appreciate them with a hearty pat on the back. Now that they aren’t there, how can I even do that? Send a back-patting emoji to them on zoom?
Yeah I'm pretty sure if I were being propagandized I would have heard about it on the news. In North Korea they believe that Kim Jong Un doesn't poop. And I know that's true because I saw it on the news.
Lol, lmao. I’m a successful wealthy landlord. If I don’t know anything about the construction process it’s because being a landlord has nothing to do with construction you fucking dunce, that’s my whole point. You’re the one who keeps insisting on saying I built the fucking houses myself when I’m telling you definitively that I didnt.
No, that’s not free speech. Free speech is supposed to be for protecting businesses, not for hurting them. If you hurt somebody’s business, you gotta pay for that. Freedom isn’t free.
Per the article, it’s the latter.
The tweets, the articles, and even the journalists and news sites were crafted entirely by artificial intelligence algorithms, according to the person behind the project, who goes by the name Nea Paw and says it is designed to highlight the danger of mass-produced AI disinformation.
As a capitalist myself, you’re my favorite kind of person. I love the ones that don’t question anything, do as they’re told and take whatever they get. Thank you for being you! ❤️
Now, hope you aren’t posting on the clock! If so get back to work you little scamp (imagine I’m affectionately ruffling your hair right now).
Very selfish. My ex-wife used to say the same thing, she wanted me to be a “father” and “husband” and stop going on business trips to Thailand every month. Some people don’t understand greatness
It’s all about supply and demand, and the customers have demanded smarter TVs. In this way capitalism drives innovation. Who knows, a couple years from now TVs will likely be twice or three times as smart as they are now!
The best part about voting with my wallet is I have a lot of money so I never run out of votes. When I was younger I bought so many sodas that I toppled the regime of a small South American nation.
Wow that’s even more sad for you guys in your funny little hats, you got beat out by one state.
No, that would be discrimination against a minority which is pretty bad don’t you think?
I’m on your side, sheesh. I’m sick of this woke cancel culture nonsense where businesses stop giving money Elon just because he “platforms Nazis”. They should be forced to keep giving him money. Now he has no choice but to take down the ADL.
Come back to work at the office and say that to my face
If you think about it, Thomas Hobbes was right but on a smaller scale. Society only works when people submit themselves to their bosses.
I agree, the ADL should be shut down for saying bad things about a job creator like Elon. Also, all the businesses that decided to stop buying ads on Elons site should also be shut down, it’s a blatant violation of the law for them to do that.
This guy makes a great point! My employees have been significantly more uppity since the unemployment rate has been down, but at least they don’t have a union, I’ve heard horror stories from some of the other business owners at the country club.
