It’s an Elon post so obviously he’s just bullshitting, but I’ve seen this kind of sentiment among Amerikkkans broadly throughout my life, from the days of the Global War Of Terror up to now. It’s even a common insult/comeback in media for basically any mildly disruptive behavior. Why the fuck is there this mindset that the only reason someone would ever protest or challenge the government because they don’t have a job? Or that somehow having a job places you under a magical trance that makes you Fall In Line? For a country that emphasizes “”“freedom”“” USians sure love the idea of being subservient for money.

      “GETTA JOB!”

      I would if I fucking could. Turns out ol’ porkchops all set and he’s a picky guy.

      Why do these idiots forget businesses need to get off their lazy asses and put people to work? Oh, you’re “streamlining” back in the day that was a fancy word for “my business is failing!”
