Corporations are not victims they are the victimizers by stealing from the poor and stealing wages from those doing the work to maintain the bourgeois lifestyle of those who own these companies that is the real crime. Are you so oblivious to the fact that these sunglasses were made in 3rd world countries by exploited laborers who earn less than $3 an hour and work 10+ hour days? Fuck sunglasses but

How much did it take to manufacture those goods! How many underpaid exploited laborers in third world countries were stepped on for those products to be shipped here and then be sold by someone who isn’t making enough money to afford rent and other basic living expenses.

If you have sympathy for corporations loosing profit and not the workers they exploit to take those profits from you then you have your head up your ass.

No when corporate profits have ballooned thousands of percentage points meanwhile wages have remained low that’s the correct attitude. Fuck the rich capitalism is a system built in exploitation it’s right in the word itself. The intransitive verb at the root of capitalism “capitalize” is synonymous with “to take advantage of” and “to exploit” those sunglasses with $1400 retail value are worth not even 50% of that as soon as they are sold, most of them will end up in a landfill within a few months after they are sold. But please tell me more why I should feel bad about w Kathy bastards selling over priced garbage made by exploited people in third world countries paid less than $10 a day to manufacture dozens of sunglasses selling for hundreds of dollars each when they pay their store front retail workers garbage so they can’t afford to pay rent, pay for food, never mind save money to retire in old age?

Median rent in Providence and surrounding-areas for a 2 bedroom apartment is $1900 a month and full time minimum wage earns you $2140 BEFORE taxes but yes keep licking boots and defending the rich while you blame the dirty pipes for not having 3 roommates to cut costs and blame them for their avacado toast addiction why don’t you tell them to get a better job while simultaneously telling them oh geez nobody wants to work anymore! Because you can’t walk in and out of a Starbucks in 1 minute with your $6 latte because all these corporations want to pay literal shit so that the asshole garbage people at the top can spend more on weekend vacations than you will earn in 3 lifetimes of full time labor.

What a joke you corporate ass suckers are.

Fuck those overpriced corporate bastards, nobody needs to pay. Corporate profits have increased by thousands of percentage points over the last few years meanwhile the wages of those doing the actual work have not so I don’t give one fucking shit about rich people loosing money when they already have enough of it and normal working class people can’t afford rent food never mind save enough to own a home or retire in their lifetime.

How does the boot you kick taste? You missed a little bit of shit in the heel there son.

A guy doing side-work when he has a job is fine(assuming he’s insured), but a guy stealing work from his employer is shady. You’ll probably be fine and save a few dollars, but it’s not really a cool thing to do.

I’m in a different line of work and what I do is heavily marked up so I often have clients try to make an end-run around my employer and hire me directly but I always refuse. I do plenty of side work but only what comes to me first, never my employer’s clients.

What Tilly’s is gone?? I grew up 20 min south of Philly and thought that was the best option in RI since moving here several years ago. Maybe I’ll have to try Sax’s to see how they stack up , otherwise I’ll make my own.

Carl’s in Waltham is the best cheesesteak I’ve had since moving up here

He should start his own company then and not steal work from his company. He should also provide proof of insurance. It’s one thing if he’s finding his own side work, but this just shows he’s willing to fuck over his employer. Why wouldn’t he cut corners on the project. I’ve been building for 25 yrs theirs more shady then honest people.

It’s not shady at all, his company will charge 8-15% extra on the overall to cover overhead and profit. He’s saving the homeowner money and he’s making more by doing it himself. You just got unlucky with your situation lol

His company will charge you Overhead and Profit so doing it through just him eliminates those costs. He will get to keep the $$ instead of his company so it’ll definitely be cheaper

That’s shady as hell for him. I knew a painter that did this, he hired all people fresh out of jail. He did some exterior work for the homer after my construction company left. One of his guys, stole the next door neighbor’s convertible. It was crazy.

If there’s no risk of damage then you’re going to get the same result. just without having to pay for business expenses. The business charges more than the person because they have to pay extra taxes and bs. You can’t really mess anything up anything painting so just give the guy the work and save money

Youll get a MUCH cheaper price that way. I did the same for my electrical panel. As a painter, i can do the job for even less than half the price my company charges.

Though id never take a job from someone we did work for. Conflict of interest
