Vivek Ramaswamy dragged after wild rant on how American workers suck

Isn't this the same guy who said "weekends were a mistake"?

People like this have fully infiltrated the US tech sector, and have been kicking and screaming about how the workers there aren't killing themselves for their jobs anymore. They have completely embraced classism and believe they are at the top of some imaginary tower or food chain that allows them to make idiotic statements like this. Anti-egalitarian at the core.

They've already stripped all the benefits of working in tech away from the workers, and are now complaining that the horse won't pull the cart anymore now that the carrot is gone. Pieces of shit.

Let me spare you all some false hope: he wasn't literally dragged.

Lol first musk, now this guy. These techbro wranglers are about to discover what getting into bed with fascist nationalists really means.

US businesses don’t hire foreign workers because they perform better than domestic workers. They do it because they pay less for slave labor. US slaves primarily work in domestic food production, initially as a way to reduce the cost of food, but that turned into corporate profit pretty quickly.

Now we’ve created a massive margin standard on foreign imports as well as domestic food production. The inevitable consequence is that correction would either result in a temporary but substantial domestic business profit loss, or employing more unpaid or underpaid domestic workers.

Take a guess which track the Republicans plan on taking while they begin to fill the detention centers.

The controversy may jeopardize his standing in the Trump administration.

I'd definitely say that Americans value hard work. To the point of their own detriment. I'd also say they often strive for excellence in product making, but it rarely comes out excellent. When comparing product quality between Europe and the US, Europe almost always comes out ahead. Plus, Europeans value a good balance between work and life. That's true excellence in my book. The US seems to mostly survive on size and quantity rather than quality.

Vivek made his money lying to investors and then fleeing using insider information. Who thinks he would he know about hard work? Nobody in doge ever worked a day in their lives.

Conservatives actively killing education be like Y NO ENGIUNERS?!?!!?

Tbf, he’s probably saying a lot of this because he’s experiencing prejudice for being an outsider, kind of like Steve Bannon at Harvard syndrome. People like that just want to burn the world when they find out that conservatives really only favor an in-group of their own kind, and people like them will never truly belong.

That said, hard fucking lol. The only reason India gets so much support is because US wants to prop up a puppet in SE Asia. Indians also get ahead on political fronts in America because they’re currently the “safe minority” and not scary Chinese, Arabs or Latinos. He’s literally a DEI hire for white supremacists.

Also, America has most noble prizes than any country. But dumb cunts like him will never admit that the public education and progressive policies in America favored it a lot. All of these conservatives should FAFO, but their bad ideas will only make it worse for vulnerable people.

Somewhat related story, but I'll share it to put a win for the little guy somewhere in these comments.

When I was in my late teens I worked in the deli of a large supermarket chain. We had a hot food section with reheated frozen crap that was always dried out and gross, and a pizza oven to cook school cafeteria quality pizzas. Needless to say, no one bought anything.

Right next to that was the deli section where I worked evenings. We had the fancy Boarshead stuff, including a bunch of fancy Italian meats. Nobody bought that stuff either cuz we're not redneck here, but city people kind of treat us like we are, and nobody knew what soppresetta and that kind of thing was.

All this stuff would just sit until it got thrown out from not being sold. I would take bits of it all on its way to the trash, and I started making calzones with the pizza dough and the nice deli meats and ringing myself up for the price of like a quarter pound of meat, which was fair to me and the store. I made them for myself at first, and then some other people in the department.

The one day I made a few and gave samples out to some of my regular customers and of course they liked them because they were made with care and attention and better ingredients than any of the store stuff. I started making them in nights I was in and putting them in the hot bar and they sold decent.

One day the manager came back and cried it wasn't in the plan-o-gram and blah blah and I had to knock it off.

Maybe a week later, they came back to me again and asked how I had been pricing them and I said I was basically just charging the weight of the deli meat and they tweaked the price a little and I kept making them, as people had been ticked when I said I wasn't allowed to make them anymore.

I left not too long after, and I can't say it was due to me or anything, but now all of those sites around here make little calzones and have them in the deli section as a grab and go item to cook at home.

It wasn't enough to teach me everything I needed to know about how companies treat people that go above, but it definitely contributed to my education about work vs reward. But I'm glad I won that one. I liked saving food from the trash, and I liked seeing people enjoy something that was my idea and made purely by me and my skill. I guess I learned some things about myself as well.

Lolol yes do it, keep talking Vivek and Musk. Burn all your bridges to the actual elected GOP. Make yourselves and DOGE hated before it even begins.

Y u no work harder for the billionaire CEOs who do nothing >:(

lol

Hey he's not a CEO but, y'know. Maybe we could make an exception.

Sounds like someone wanted to be prom king.

This asshole can just go fuck himself.

Wealthy investment banker classist ladder-puller criticizing what he doesn't understand instead of addressing the actual problems many people face and using his wealth and power to provide and execute solutions. He's a leach, oligarch, and a demagogue for oppression. People in positions of power should be held to a higher standard, not a lower one.

As an atheist I'm reminded around this time of year of the teachings Jesus had that apply regardless of faith or secularity; like give away all your belongings because material goods are a chain weighing you down. Be compassionate, forgiving, and helpful and good people will reciprocate. Vivek isn't generous or caring for the people who need help most like prisoners, sick, elderly. He's a stingy Scrooge who would rather for-profit insurance exist than universal healthcare.

This DEI hire doesn’t know the meaning of hard work

What exactly does “dragged” mean in the headline?

At first I thought women were dressing up like him and parading through the streets.

MAGAts will forget. There will be no consequences.

In a post on X, he argued that U.S. culture celebrates mediocrity and undervalues nerdiness, hard work, and academic achievement.

I can't really argue with that part.

Link to the rant. That's some vomit!

As an anticap American, made so by our worship of greed and glut and sociopathic cruelty in the name of profit, I make it my mission at work to do as little as possible, and gum up the works at my greedy employer's as much as possible without it looking like I am.

I'm doing my part to stifle GDP! Are you?

(In a non-captured oligarchal dictatorship, if you wanted worker buy in, remake the tax code to punish corporations and incentivize cooperatives. That can't happen here, we're too captured, but theoretically)

dragged 😒

He is trying so hard to be cool and it's just not working.

I'm not just dunking on maga when I say, I think that might be what the leaders of the movement all actually have in common. When weak people try to act strong, it turns into cruelty. When uncool people try extra hard to be cool, they become maga. It's why they're all such dorks.
