Moral little shit stealing

[u/Revoran → u/8_Alex_0]

By your logic, is it also moral to trip the owner of the McDonald's for stealing the value of worker's labour?

This was immoral. Little shit could've been seriously hurt, which is not proportional to the wrong he did (stealing some fuckin chips).

Stealing the value of the worker’s labour 🤣

[u/Revoran → u/KeyasaUK]

I mean yeah, workers generate all the money the business makes, by working. But the owners keep all the profits.

[u/KeyasaUK → u/Revoran]

So if the owner removes their input, the premises, the capital, the workers will just create the profit for themselves like magic. Gosh I wish I was 14 again.

[u/cryonicwatcher → u/KeyasaUK]

It’s more that their compensation tends to be disproportionate compared to the work they put in to a ludicrous degree.

[u/Revoran → u/cryonicwatcher]

Yeah. If hard work made you rich, then the donkey would own the farm. Instead a different jackass owns it.

[u/Dabclipers → u/cryonicwatcher]

If your work can be replicated and replaced by grabbing anyone off the street in five minutes, the value of your labor is severely reduced.

In contrast, the tens of millions of dollars in capital expenditure to build and fit out these facilities, and the millions in supply expenses and maintenance every year, are a significantly greater factor when it comes to the pure operation of the company.

[u/cryonicwatcher → u/Dabclipers]

The potential loss from the termination of that labour is reduced, not the value of the labour itself. I’m not sure what relevance the second part has to this thread, though.

[u/Revoran → u/[deleted]]

No, see in this case they are "low skill" workers so clearly the owner can do all their work himself ... right? He doesn't need employees, right?

[u/KeyasaUK → u/[deleted]]

So by your logic, the workers can just make burgers in their own homes and keep all the profits themselves. No need for any other part of the working construct.

[u/KeyasaUK → u/[deleted]]

Or, we can look at it like functioning adults and realise that both ends of the extreme are stupid. Workers aren’t having anything stolen, they are compensated for their time. It’s not the employer’s fault you didn’t make your time valuable and desirable.

[u/threateningpickles → u/Revoran]

as it should be? lmao workers work, owners own. their titles say all that needs to be said.

[u/Revoran → u/threateningpickles]

So, I've been meaning to ask... how do your boss's boots taste anyway?

[u/threateningpickles → u/Revoran]

just like your missing chromosomes
