I agree that people who work harder than others or take a bigger risk should have more money but to say that it is fantastic that there are 3.5 b people living in poverty is just dumb. That's how the world works but what is "fantastic" about this?

What are you talking about? Do not twist words like that audience brownie point collecting chick.
He did not say fantastic to that statement. Same goes for OP twisting the reality. Thats how tabloids work..
 
folks, the fact that this video has a high dislike to like ratio is great news. those are the same people who get all emotional while reading your landing page and buy your stupid berries, or if you're all ethical and girly like me, a product.

Original point. And, I like it. This is pretty much how we all make money.

edit: fuck it. how do you embed? :p

:music06: Good news!

Actually, to think of it, that's fantastic in the sense that all those "poor" people will now watch this video and come for his ass!

Jokes apart, a capitalistic economy leads to poverty. But then again, a capitalistic economy gives rise to some of the best entrepreneurs in the country.

So, you need to take your pick which side you are on, regardless of your background.
 
feels good not to have the time to read or type as much as all the crap i scrolled through

it's that feeling of making money everyday..... feels great!

What was this post about again?
 
I'm genuinely curious; let's say you're some poor kid in Africa, how would you rise out of poverty?
Africa is a generalized term. What country are you talking about in specific?

Hustle your ass off for a while
Save a bit of money
Pay a bunch of local thugs to politically persecute you
Apply to a socialist, refugee happy country
Instant riches
 
It's definitely not "fantastic" that 3.5 billion people are poor.

If less people were poor and more in the middle/comfortably-off, they'd be able to afford to buy such things as plane tickets (unthinkable luxury for the poor) and companies like RyanAir wouldn't have had to issue two profit warnings last year.

Ironically O'Leary blamed "lower fares" for his problems. Them poor people can't afford higher fares and won't buy when they rise! Who'd have thunk it?

Poverty is seriously bad for business. I can never understand "business people" who positively revel in people being poor. They of all people should know that the bigger the pool of comfortably off people, the more opportunity to sell them stuff.
 
Poverty may be bad for business but so is paying more than production value for labor.

Would you prefer to create 100 jobs or 10? Take your pick, you can't have both.

Agreed.

A long time ago I worked at a grocery store part time and I cannot count the amount of times I heard people complain that they weren't paid enough to do the work. For some reason people think that taking an item from a pallet and putting it on a shelf deserves to be paid at least double what minimum wage is. Not only does the work require no fucking brains what so ever but most of the people weren't even good at that. Minimum wage is "the gift" to some of these people because, without it, they'd easily be paid half of what their getting now.
