If you work at Timmy’s do a count of how many ice caps you make in a day. Multiply that by the cost. I guarantee on ice caps alone you make more value than you get back in your check
Libs learn about the labor theory of value and are like, “so what if people skim a little off the top? The business has overhead.” This is not skimming. Most people lose more than half of their labor value every day.
Libs love to talk about overhead when you bring this up. But the profit minus overhead is still absolutely massive. Also, what gives business owners the right to skim off the top? “They took the initial financial risk.” How did they get the capital together to take that risk in the first place? Almost all of them were born rich. And besides, you think workers aren’t taking a risk coming in to work? Jaysus.
They take the risk at the beginning because they are the only owner and are therefore will lose a larger amount if the business goes under. The longer the business exist, the more people you’ve brought on and the higher chance you have of having recouped your investment, at which point the only thing you’ve lost is time. If that time involved labor, then that portion of your time you were a worker the same as anyone.
The logic on worker ownership really isn’t complicated. Owners just don’t wanna see it.
Yeah, net profit/divided by employees is still a ton compared the what workers are used to if the business isn't a total shit show.
