- bluntfang 7y agoone day they will be the boss and when they're the boss they aren't going to want their exploited employees to ruin their bottom line. Spoiler alert: they're never gonna be the boss. It's like that meme where people on the poverty line vote against their interests because one day they think they're going to be the billionaire.
