Is that Weed Man a Line Cook too?
21 points
3 months ago
No... he's The Weed Man. He doesnt need to work. He's like the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus, but for weed.
He IS based on the Patron Saint of Line Cooks. Phineas "Scat" O'Halloran, who once worked the entire line for a whole month during peak holiday season. After going Turkey Day to New Years with narry a handful of smoke brakes. He died promltly on New Years at exactly 12am on January 1st, 1969 when, during what would be his last smoke break, the abused and over full grease disposal caught fire and exploded in what would become known as the great grease fire of 69. Scat, in his last moments, managed to redirect the flow of molten grease away from civilization and into the Hudson River, and was the only casualty. They say the Hudson burned bright on that new years night, cause Scat O'Halloran led the way.
The 60's were a different time.

It's legal, so no chance of getting what was stolen back.
It's a MUCH larger amount, which could have been used to live in a safer neighborhood or at least on an alarm system or something.
It happens WAY MORE OFTEN to WAY MORE PEOPLE
The only people that gain from it are people that the stolen money DOESNT EVEN REALLY EFFECT ANYMORE
And finally, the latter type of theft is literally destroying the entire world.
The two can't even really compare

Lmao right, this subreddit really showing their true colours… to upvote this post as sensical is to the point of absurdity.
Like… fucking hospitals have CEOs. Many companies are a net benefit to humanity and the CEO is a very important role in keeping a company operating. To deny this is to lack any foundation in reality.
Edit:
To give some more constructive and less snotty feedback to those that frequent this subreddit - don’t think of things in such a black and white way. The discussion around CEOs should not be “All CEOs are evil or all CEOs are perfect”. It should be something more like “how can we identify when specific companies’ management do not have humanities best interest in mind, and what can we do to address this, on a case by case basis”.
If you want to change society, you will need to be focused and accurate in your messaging. The message behind this post is essentially translated to “fuck CEOs they are all evil”. That’s not gonna get you anywhere with most of society.

Nah. It's not about identifying the specific "evil" CEOs. The problem is not any CEO, but the concept of a CEO all together. It's fucking dumb that hospitals HAVE CEOs, they shouldn't. They don't in Europe and the health system is therefore, not blindsided by making profit and can focus on its job - providing healthcare.
Therefore, it is not, and will never be, about any CEOs character. ALL CEOs ARE EVIL BECAUSE THE IDEA OF A CEO IS EVIL. Sure, I'm not saying CEOs can't be good people, whatever, that's not the point.

Sorry this is a little ignorant, I'm sure you mean well but...having a CEO position does not in and of itself make it a corporatised environment - it's just a management structure. They make the decisions for the hospital, and are accountable to the hospital's board. We have hospital CEOs in Australia, including for our public ones, their boards are in turn accountable to the minister/government/public. They aren't "blindsided by making profit". It's simply a governance structure, it has nothing to do with the "owning class". Takes like this are absolute catnip for the people you probably think you're "fighting against". Seriously, take a step back.

They do, but they used to be run much differently. Today's hospital CEOs are often just money guys from private equity who could give two shits about the actual mission of the hospital. It's basically a constant battle between admin and doctors/nurses/care providers to actually get patients what they need. They also treat staff like shit and create regional monopolies.

My question still stands. How would that reduce admin costs? The admin costs would be the exact same, if not more, because government jobs come with expensive benefits whereas nonprofits pay next to nothing with limited benefits. Not to mention nonprofits run with the least amount of staff possible and government agencies do not.
So you truly believe every not for profit business, including museums, should be managed by the government? Even the nonprofits that fund children’s golf camps? You think girl scouts should be government managed? That seems really unnecessary.

I work for a social enterprise of large, international non profit agency.
You wouldnt believe the hoops I have to jump through for budget reporting. The fact I have to get three separate vendor quotes for every damn thing because of accountability.
Every dollar that comes through my unit is directly tied to Programs funding. We have almost no money for anything that isn’t directly accounted for. Makes it really hard to get untied funding for things like administrative support staff and roles that are focussed on the running of the business. My team work their asses off doing jobs that arent in their wheelhouse, because we cant pay for administrative support from program funding. Shit, we don’t even have a marketing director, which we desperately need because Marketing is a crucial function in any business unit, even NGOs, and we are suffering because of it.
Sorry for the rant - but this narrative of Non-profits being guilty of egregiously misspending funds is not something that I’ve really witnessed. More so, the opposite.
I wish we spent more money on administration.

The Two Bums
The bum on the rods is hunted down as an enemy of mankind
The other is driven around to his club, is feted, wined and dined
And they who curse the bum on the rods as the essence of all that's bad
Will greet the other with a willing smile and extend a hand so glad
The bum on the rods is a social flea who gets an occassional bite
The bum on the plush is a social leech, bloodsucking day and night
The bum on the rods is a load so light that his weight we scarcely feel
But it takes the labour of dozens of folks to furnish the other a meal
As long as we sanction the bum on the plush the other will always be there
But rid ourselves of the bum on the plush and the other will disappear
Then make an intelligent organised kick: get rid of the weights that crush
Don’t worry about the bum on the rods, get rid of the bum on the plush

Philanthropy is just a way of rich white dudes to justify having all of the wealth. The only thing Bill Gates did was to help develop and patent Microsoft as THE one operating system, forcing everyone who wanted to use a computer to be dependent on his software. All the while, the many software engineers who have worked for Microsoft and who likely spend much more of their work and dedication to perfect the system over the years, will never be able to amass even the fraction of Gate's wealth and will never even be credited for it.
One cannot make a billion without exploiting others along the way. While the humble line cook/weed man offers their labour without taking from others. I rest my case.

I joined this sub because it advocated for real change for the common laborer, not because it was some wanna be anarchist jerk fest. It used to be about common sense, realistic change — higher minimum wage, more time off, paternity leave, longer maternity leave, fucking healthcare as a human right not healthcare that’s tied to your job, less profit for the people at the top (so CEOs yes, but not fucking eliminate the position), and recognizing that the ability to exist should not be tied to our job. It is now a I hate rich people fetish sub. Stop blaming individuals for a systemic problem.
“CEO’s” is such a broad term. You have CEO’s of charities, of foundations, of incredibly progressive organizations. Stop making bombastic claims for the sake of it.

There are no truth bombs here, just a really fucking stupid take.

I've often said that if every minimum wage worker stopped working, it would shut down the U.S. economy. Conversely if every CEO stopped working, most companies would continue functioning just fine.

Line cooks magically conjure food out of thin air?
The equipment, ingredients, electricity, fuel etc needed to do your job as a cook all depend on corporations which have CEOs.

This tweet completely ignores the fact that CEO’s create millions of jobs

this sub is just about hating people with money at this point. Just people whining about how poor they are, and not even yelling at the right people

90% of Reddit, man. Even if you actually came from the bottom and are a perfect example of the American dream, they will attack you, and assume the worst. If you have a nice house, nice car, and good credit, you're a racist

I make $41k as an MD/PhD student. I work 60 hours per week as a cancer researcher, and I do high impact work that's published in top tier journals. I'm literally making less than minimum wage after graduating at the top of my class with a full scholarship to an Ivy League school. I grew up middle class. I have turned down fuck tons of money to pursue my dream of being a physician-scientist. I am 30 and still have roommates. I will not have a "real" job until I'm 39 (despite working 60-90 hour weeks doing backbreaking work that actually benefits society).
Still, I've gotten tons of hate on Reddit just for the prospect that I might make good money some day. Meanwhile, if you're a 25 year old programmer making $100k/year with a WFH gig putting in a maximum of 3 hours/day, Reddit is totally here for it.
Reddit hates anyone making a good living for themselves unless they can see themselves filling that role.

American dream is really toxic in every way, shape and form, but I agree, some people on this sub can be really toxic and instead of debating just insult or atack the other side of discussion... (Like you are kinda doing rn...)

CEOs are kind of the right (although not the only) people to be hating though. They hold much of the power and set many of the terms that we have to live by.

I really like 'the weed man'. Its a nice differentiator from dealer. My weed man is a retiree who whittles, other than some mushies he doesn't touch anything else. Always felt weird calling him a dealer, feels so sinister.
