But are small businesses that important at this point?
- thefourthchime 3y agoThey employ about half the jobs in America, so yeah.
- weard_beard 3y agobut are the jobs and people who work them that important? that's like, 1/5 of the annual salaries on wallstreet.
- piva00 3y agoYes, of course it's important, they're people for fucks sake, with lives and salaries for expenses that move the economy. What does it matter it's 1/5 of Wall Street salaries? Even worse, saying they aren't "important" because of how much they earn, I feel disgusted reading this comment...
- weard_beard 3y agoPerhaps they can eat their many many children…
- piva00 3y agoI really have no idea if you were sarcastic on the previous comment and on this one or if you are just a gaping asshole. Either way it's not really conducive to any discussion.
- weard_beard 3y agoI am DEFINITELY being sarcastic! That last one was the most famous piece of sarcasm ever written, "A modest proposal" by Dr. Jonathan Swift! I can understand the limits of text to convey subtle meaning but if you're that far removed from culture that you cannot pick up when someone... I am loathe to say "alludes" (more like beats you over the head) to the most famous piece of satire in all of history then maybe you should consider getting off the internet and picking up a book.
- piva00 3y agoI'm not English nor Irish (or from any anglo-saxon-adjacent place) to have Jonathan Swift as any important part of my cultural-literary canon, so excuse the ignorance but at the same time fuck you for telling me to "pick up a book" as if I should have known your cultural references :) (And yes, the "fuck you" is in jest, I'm still astounded [and a bit ashamed] I didn't pick up the sarcasm at first...) Sorry.
- weard_beard 3y agoTouché. If you wouldn't mind sharing where you're from and what you consider a good example of satire in your region I will take my own advice :-)
