    The 5 guys CEO just gave a $1.5 million bonus to workers because he didn’t want to “be shot in the back.”

    Controversial take: Luigi Mangione has done more for American workers than any politician.

    Mods: I am not calling for violence so please don’t ban me - just making an observation about cause and effect.

      That bonus amounted to something like $50 per employee, btw. And is a tiny fraction of their yearly profits.

        I completely agree and my point still stands.

    They do. That’s why they employ police, private security, press representation, and only show up when they know they’re covered.

    Look at the response to the crime that Luigi Mangione was falsely accused of committing.

    I don’t think anyone should have to live in fear. Therefore, billionaires should not exist.

    I worked for Sling TV for a bit before quitting because every day I passed multiple homeless encampments on the highway on my way to a job to earn my state’s richest asshole more money.

      The sad thing is, that guy never even knew who you were, and provided your job was necessary enough for Sling, had a replacement or two waiting to fill your vacancy.

    Some kind of government intervention is needed to control excessive greed in some people…well, corporations really.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
