Henry Ford was just the Elon Musk of his day. An exploitative asshole pretending to be a genius when all the actual work was done by other people.
The Model T was not designed by Ford, it was designed by other engineers. But Ford did at least start his own company, unlike Musk who bought Tesla from other, smarter people.
menthol@lemm.eeto Work Reform@lemmy.world•Gen Z is prioritizing living over working because they've seen 'the legacy of broken promises' in corporate America, a future-of-work expert says251·2 years agoPeople in Gen-Z just don’t work hard as often.
Is that really true though? I’m Gen-X and they said the same thing about us, and then the Millennials, and now the current gen. I think quit quitting is largely a myth and plenty of GenZ are working their asses off. They’re not getting the same rewards. But I can also understand if some them do choose to opt out. But the fact that they can’t afford to buy homes is not proof that they are lazy.

She said they couldn’t afford to buy a house because they’re lazy and “only want to work four hours” a day.
Is every single host of The View a giant piece of shit, or what? We saw this exact same bullshit just the other day from one of the other ones. They should change the name to The Karen.
At what age are you supposed to stop hoping for a more equal world and start cheering on the billionaires destroying the planet? I’m in my 40’s and I might be a little behind.
menthol@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Donald Trump mocked after Nikki Haley gaffe: "Losing his mind"2·2 years agoIn the past repeated gaffes like Trump has been making lately would have definitely eroded his support. Campaigns have been sunk over some fairly minor mistakes. It’s just that trumps fans don’t care. So you’re right, this won’t change anything.
menthol@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•‘Code words and dog whistling’: why the conservative attack on higher education is so efficient7·2 years agoThat’s why I’ve been saying forever that Democrats need to gerrymander the ever loving shit out of every state they control. The right will never play fair so squeeze as many Congressional seats as you can using the same methods they do. Erase their gerrymandered advantage using their rules. But no, we’re too ethical for that. They have a 20+ advantage in terms of gerrymandered seats. They wouldn’t have the majority at all if that advantage was erased and all maps were fair. So do the same thing they do.

Don’t tell us your evil plans. No one is going to hear this and be more eager to buy your products. They’re so proud of coming up with ways to screw customers that they just can’t help themselves. They have to let everyone know. I don’t get it.
It was more common as a name, or nickname, back in the day. But not many people willingly use it anymore because now it primarily means a) penis and b) someone who is a monumental jerk.
I’m sure plenty of people chuckled about it even in the 60’s though.

He’ll still demonize them and blame them for everything going wrong, but the elections will be cancelled.

Maybe you’re different. Language has changed quite a bit over the past 2,500 years. The English language didn’t even exist when Aristophanes wrote his plays.

She is trash either way. It’s just that I know some truly out of touch Boomers (mostly extended family members), who really do think the world is the same as it was when they were coming of age. Ignorance is no excuse, and she has no excuse to be ignorant.

Nah, I can afford insurance. Then an accident happens and they go broke. Then they want the free steak.

He has literally been charged with dozens of crimes. Have you been living under a rock? Do you just make shit up when you need to defend your orange garbage bag person?

If you’re subscribed you’re among the genius class. Just keep paying and don’t think about it, even if you haven’t watched in months and forgot you are paying. You’re not misunderstanding anything.

But rent has spiked, nearly doubled here, since Covid. I guess I just need a third job and to never sleep again.
