    The consequences of not teaching the parts of US history where Ford ordered guns turned on his workers.

    US needs to be denazified and decapitalised

    An imperious golden bust of Musk stands nine feet tall outside the town. A plaque on its pedestal reads “ELON AKA Memelord”.

    There is an employee-only restaurant called Astropub with a neon red “Occupy Mars” sign behind the bar. One of the main boulevards is called “Memes Street”.

    I… have no words

    Lol this reminds me of my teammate that said he wishes our company would have company daycares to take care of his child. Something about being in this innovative office environment around so many smart people would be really enriching for their child’s development

      I need to ask…what is wrong with a company provided day care? Like an onsite nursery, not children in the office?

        He meant children in the office lol. And they’d be provided lunch, snacks, and entertainment at the company cafeteria/kitchens/game rooms too

        Just begging for his child to be brainwashed by his company

          Wow. Thank you. Why would you want an office full of children? I don’t want to be at work anyway….i definitely don’t want to be at work and unable to do anything.

          I’m assuming this guy thought his boss liked him?

            We once had a discussion about what we’d do if we won a billion dollars and he actually said he’d keep working because he doesn’t know what else he’d do

            His boss probably did like him because he did an insane amount of work. He once even told me to message him on vacation if I ever needed his help

              If I won a billion quid, cause I’m British, I’d be out the door so fast….and I like my boss and job.

      This is why Unions are so cool. Mine force companies to pay an extra to parents so they can pay for childcare.
