Surely you aren't serious. Feudalism required working for the landowners near where you lived. In our society you can change jobs, start your own business, move, do freelance work, or not work at all if you so choose. I agree there are problems with the current system, but to equate it to feudalism is insanity.
- wffurr 8y agoInsanity? CEOs seem an awful lot like Kings to me. And everything in a company is essentially at the whim of the CEO or private owners. >> you can change jobs At the whim of the hiring managers and their bosses etc. >> start your own business At the whim of the financiers or by boostrapping yourself with the crumbs the capitalists leave to the working class. >> move In fact often one has to move away from one's home, community, and family to find work, because that's where the bosses decided to employ people. >> do freelance work Again at the whim of those who have money to pay for your services. >> or not work at all If you want to accept a severely reduced lifestyle with the dregs of an under-funded dehumanizing welfare state, designed to force people into employment. I'm absolutely serious.
- castlecrasher2 8y ago> CEOs seem an awful lot like Kings to me. This is such laughable hyperbole that I have to wonder whether you work in a skilled profession or you're just another internet commentator. The only way you could think CEOs have absolute authority over you like a king would is if you have a psychological complex.
- cabaalis 8y agoI think you harmed your claim by elaborating. I have a tendency to do so as well. I often stop myself from replying to those who reply to me, in order to provide someone else a chance who agrees with my position to reinforce.
