Discriminatory and biased! Why is so much attention lavished on workers? Where's International Shareholders' day? Where is a day to celebrate wealth and those who have it? Both of those things are far more important than lowly labor.
- NhanH 2y agoThat’s just Black Friday.
- amarcheschi 2y agoI'd say that's just any other day
- sgt 2y agoForget ordinary shareholders day, what about celebrating billionaires in some way? I can't recall that ever to happen./s
- MarcelOlsz 2y agoReminds me of this [0] classic. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5zQpN28xa4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5zQpN28xa4
- nosioptar 2y agoThat took me entirely too damned long to realize that wasn't a real billionaire whining. I prefer to raise awareness to the plight of the rich with music: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ej7dfPL7Kho&pp=ygUNc2F2ZSB0aGUgcmljaNIHCQmECQGHKiGM7w%3D%3D https://youtube.com/watch?v=ej7dfPL7Kho&pp=ygUNc2F2ZSB0aGUgc...
- tchalla 2y agoIt wasn’t even satire. It was based on this opinion from WSJ > Progressive Kristallnacht Coming? > I would call attention to the parallels of Nazi Germany to its war on its "one percent," namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the "rich." https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304549504579316913982034286 https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304549504579316...
- moomin 2y agoWe should hold it on Jan 6.
- shove 2y agoThis is presumably sarcastic, but be aware you’re posting on HN where such opinions are held unironically.
- cratermoon 2y agoPoe's Law applies.
- bawolff 2y agoIn the united states, it is nov 18 (National Entrepreneur Day)
- ks2048 2y ago> Both of those things are far more important than lowly labor. That's why labor gets 1 day and owners get 364. (Just realized that's roughly in the ballpark of CEO-to-worker wage ratio. ~290:1)
- alabastervlog 2y agoIt's truly under-appreciated how much the rich do for the economy, and indeed, for the workers, by having some database rows in some computers with their names on them.
- TOGoS 2y agoBut the numbers next to their names aren't big enough. We're gonna have to gut social services and environmental protections in an attempt to pump those numbers up. Oh and definitely everything we can to cast unions in a bad light. Who needs a union? All they do is eat your hot chip.
- belter 2y agoWell... "National Shareholder Day" - https://www.nationaldayarchives.com/day/national-shareholders-day/ https://www.nationaldayarchives.com/day/national-shareholder...
- arbuge 2y agoWell you do get admission to the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting if you buy just a single share (and prepare your wallet for exorbitant Omaha hotel prices that weekend). Closest thing to that I can think of.
- cratermoon 2y ago> exorbitant Omaha hotel prices That phrase doesn't compute. Except for "during that weekend", when of course they all jack up their rates knowing who is coming to stay.
- y-curious 2y agoThe stock is trading at only ~$800k USD and people complain that the 1% is a closed-off club.
- eli_gottlieb 2y ago>Where's International Shareholders' day? The entire rest of the goddamn year.
- arduanika 2y agoThat's a capital idea!
