Baristas also deserve to be hand fed by an influencer looking to make 5 trillion views from charity porn.

“people should be paid fairly for work”

“no, people should be given work”

great dialectics

Without the baristas you can enjoy eating plain coffee beans

Of course Starbucks ceases to exist if the laborers that transform shitty burnt coffee beans into sugary monstrosities cease to exist

I could have made the coffee myself if I wanted to. Therefore, your work has no value.

Just have self-serve espresso machines, those don’t require “skills” to operate, right?

While a good part of Barista-work isn’t bullshit a lot of it is and there is a good argument to be made to cut down on Barista’s, automated and machinate a lot of it and for the places which will still have some put them into collective and communal property (maybe as part or adjacent to social centers, chill or mobility hubs?).

The actual wealth of society, and the possibility of constantly expanding its reproduction process, therefore, do not depend upon the duration of surplus-labour, but upon its productivity and the more or less copious conditions of production under which it is performed

The shortening of the working-day is its basic prerequisite

TL;DR higher productivity, shorter working days, its the root of freedom

ive read this dipshits tweets so you dont have to, it appears that this person is an anti-degrowth patsoc who thinks that asking mayos to cut back on treats for the sake of not destroying the planet is exactly the same as malthusianism and the west needs to increase its production :very-intelligent:

edit: how do you even parody this? :so-true: :mcmansion:

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
