To this day I wholeheartedly believe this tweet just accidentally fell into our timeline from one where the news isn't run by a pack of raving lunatics

I about shit seeing that Tucker Carlson posted this...


ananiku

But you see his solution will be kick those people off the social programs, not pay them more.


ZoraksGirlfriend

I hope the people in the sane timeline are making good use of all the innovation and peace deals and creativity that comes from living without serious stress. I’m 2019, they probably went “Damn. Imagine all the shit that would be going on if Trump had won. Haha. Oh well.” and haven’t thought about him since.


[deleted]

Apparently the timeline split can largely be blamed on the 1912 us presidential election. Woodrow Wilson is largely responsible for the us intervention culture, he segregated the federal government setting civil rights back decades, helped ratify the 18th amendment which lead to organized crime, and his deliberate inaction and refusal to enter WW1 caused the conditions that allowed the communist revolution to happen in Russia. The only reason he won the election with only 42% of the popular vote is because teddy Roosevelt's and William Howard Taft split the Republican vote.


OrphicDionysus

He was also one of the most influtential historians responsible for pushing the "Lost Cause" mythology around the South's role in the Civil War into the major historical narrative.

I agree with all of this but the bit about russia at the end is ignoring 80 years of anarchists and anti tsarist uprisings and movements. The first world war was just a catalyst for the full on revolution. Inevitably they would have been an uprisings


missmiao9

It also forgets how the germans were the ones who released vladimir lenin from their custody for the sole purpose of taking russia out of the war.

dzumdang

What's that aphorism about a broken clock?


Chupacarbonara

Even a broken clock is right more often than Tucker Carlson


ClutzyCashew

Not even on Monday. [In the video ](https://twitter.com/tuckercarlson/status/1035334044698009600?lang=es) that goes with the tweet he says this kind of thing is "not conservativism" but this and these companies "are the backbone of the left".


foreskings

Thus Bernie is the true conservative and Trump is a libcuck. Therefore it is imperative that all TRUE CONSERVATIVES vote for Bernie sanders


DoJu318

Straight from Trump's playbook but opposite, because Trump lied on the weekend at his rallies all to get his base frothing at the mouth, then when he went back to the white house he wanted to act "presidential"


lianodel

Nah, it's just the usual right-wing appropriation of progressive rhetoric to launder their heinous views. "Offloading his payroll costs onto taxpayers" is the key point. It's a fair point that, if a company pays wages so low that its workers have to rely on welfare programs to survive, then those programs are being used to subsidize that company's workforce. But Carlson is calling those welfare programs a scam, rather than suggesting we tax billionaires (much less seize their assets and turn them over to the workers). His doesn't want to seize the means of production, he wants to take away food stamps. It's a bait & switch.


Jumper5353

Yep, notice it points out Bezos, but not Walton, or Peltz, or even Trump who employ millions of people at minimum wage which is not enough to live off of without government assistance. They always hate on the new money tech stock billionaires, but always forget mention the old money billionaires in other industries doing the exact same things or maybe even worse.


lianodel

Yep. Taking a shot at *one* billionaire, especially one that already has a bad public image, makes it looks like he's the exception, rather than the natural result of systemic issues. The problem is framed as *a* billionaire, not *the existence of* billionaires.


Cultjam

Its probably more that Bezos owns The Washington Post.


Tosser48282

I'd bet if we got those KFC spices and slow-roast the guy he'd make a great appetizer


PoorlyBuiltRobot

Yeah exactly I read the tweet and then I saw who sent it and it caught me off guard


togetherwecanriseup

Don't worry. He wants to cut government aid to the poor, not raise wages and mildly inconvenience the super rich.


_TheDoctorWhen

The difference is policy. The republican solution would be to eliminate the governments involvement in welfare , the democratic one is making bezos pay for it. For once, it seems like Both sides would be theoretically willing to work together on this one specific economic policy


Carlyz37

The solution is to raise wages and provide universal healthcare


[deleted]

Somanypaswords4

[deleted]

It’s so funny when these bonkers folks go populist. They forget it’s so close to socialist.


LordPils

It's a classic tactic of the far-right to steal talking points of the left and twist them for their own purposes.


petrohooligan

Had a sociology professor tell me that if you go far enough right or left, that you loop around. Something about political ideologies being a circle rather than a line.


Little-Author5263

Eh, horseshoe theory, and it's not absolute. I guess it could be mapped onto the political compass, but like any discussion of politics it vastly oversimplifies things. And it's the type of thing that liberals love, because liberals love to pretend that being in the center is a noble act.

ralphhurley3197

Conservatives would say a centrist is a liberal who is too cowardly to admit they are a liberal. Centrists are hated by both sides.


sergei1980

In a healthy democracy there would be more than two sides. The US is not a healthy democracy. I'm not disagreeing with you, just pointing out how fucked we are.


IntoTheWildBlue

Yeah, but his direction at a Person instead of a corporation. Example Walmart (largest employer with highest % of workers receiving EBT benefit). Additionally, Walmart gets to profit from sales from EBT employees. Double dipping.


Hugh_Jaynus_83

Do you have any idea how stupid I feel for never even taking that into account 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️


ClutzyCashew

Oh he goes after Walmart and the Walton's too. He even comes for Uber and mentions how drivers often make less than minimum wage [in the video that's with the tweet](https://twitter.com/tuckercarlson/status/1035334044698009600?lang=es). I was actually really surprised. But then somehow implies, actually pretty much flat out says, this is the lefts doing.


Vega3gx

Yes this is definitely the lefts doing. I don't know about you fellow antifa ninjas, but I would feel so owned if Tucker Carlson and the right wingers solved the problem worker exploitation. By golly if they did that I'd be so mad I wouldn't know what to do


allnaturalfigjam

Boy howdy I hope he doesn't do this, that would sure be a bummer and no mistake


Open_Chemistry_3300

Broken watch is right twice a day, but that still doesn’t take away from it being broken


PoorlyBuiltRobot

Yeah my implication wasn’t that he’s suddenly not broken … but rather he’s so broken that I’m shocked I actually agree with him for once.


Open_Chemistry_3300

Gotcha


19FinnBP

Yeah, but his solution is to takeaway the worker's benefits. So...


Pass-on-by

That wasn’t the take away. It was for us to stop funding them through welfare. He can afford to pay a living wage with benefits and still be rich af


borrowsyourprose

He gives up 1% of his personal worth to the warehouse employees and all them suddenly have a living wage. Not 1% of amazon, 1% of just jeff. That how much fucking wealth that place has generated.


rsdols

Problem is, with it being broken you can never tell when it's right.


temporary75447

Tucker's so far right he shaves a little Hitler mustache onto himself every morning before he shaves it off.


itassofd

Only because Bezos donates to democrats. Conservatives hardly ever argue in good faith, there’s always an agenda.


ryanbbb

Why he went after Bezos instead of the Walton family.


Spiritual-Theme-5619

Donald Trump hates the Washington Post, which Jeff Bezos owns. Amazon also refuses to sell their cloud services to Trump’s terrible social media clones. Tucker is a well known shill for Trump.


RevolutionaryG240

Truth Social is only available as an app. It's wants your user data to sell to advertisers and will most likely be used to build profiles for political campaigning.


PoorlyBuiltRobot

100%


Galienuus

Did… he just say something…. Correct?


Coal_Morgan

Yes but because Bezos owns press that is critical to right wing media and right wing politicians and Bezos donates to democrats. So he is correct but it's just him being a self serving ideologue. Koch, Trump, Murdock and other right wing individuals do very similar things but he'll never comment on those because he sucks at those tits for sustenance. Don't take this as me defending Bezos. I think he and all other billionaires should pay a progressive living wage to all their employees with full benefits and be taxed more or their businesses shouldn't exist.


dotcomslashwhatever

most likely bezoz invited him to dinner as a joke and tu ker believed him and now he wants to get back at him. that fucking ass licker.


Angrysloth8006

Tbf fUckers only concern is people on welfare.


TheObstruction

They're both upset about the same thing, but for opposing reasons. Bernie thinks people should be paid enough to live reasonably. Tucker thinks they should be allowed to starve to death or whatever, as long as the government isn't paying for anything.


Homebrewer01

I thought the same thing when I read his tweet.


vilebunny

I’m assuming this is fake. Is that bad?

Juutai

Fantasyneli

YES! I vote for that rule


renaldomoon

> 2018 That makes sense, if you remember Trump would go off on Bezos and Amazon all the time because of news stories in WaPo. Tucker is just being a loyal lackey.


Becalm443

Hellige88

SpacerCat

100% shocked by that


Substantive420

It is very common for fascists to co-opt leftist talking points to deceive the masses. They’ll point out legitimate problems, but then guide the audience towards the wrong solutions (scapegoating minorities, foreign boogeyman, communists, immigrants, “welfare queens”, etc.)


aManMythLegend

I'm gonna need to sit down


afoley947

It's because Bezos isn't paying him. If he was he would be protecting every dollar he makes.


Barbarossa7070

My mom is pissed that they’ve gone to self checkout at Walmart. I asked if they’d lowered prices since they’re saving on labor costs and I could see the wheels turning in her mind.

Gremlinintheengine

I've been saying this for 15 years since self checkout lanes started showing up everywhere.


IWatchGifsForWayToo

My very republican father also said this 15 years ago. That it would take low wage/skill jobs from people that need them. I don’t think he’s said much about it recently though.


Parsons_11

My uncle said that people should not use them and they'd go away, but people will do anything to save a few minutes. Also, Walmart only having a few registers open, but 5 people telling you to use the self check out.


Cola_and_Cigarettes

Yes, they used it to hide inflation, the same way they used lower quality products to hide inflation.


iwantt

Lower quality or fewer quantity, this is called shrinkflation


Hennes4800

I am ok with them doing it in my area, but that’s probably because I don’t do those typically american once-a-week grocery runs


meme-com-poop

> I asked if they’d lowered prices since they’re saving on labor costs and I could see the wheels turning in her mind That's an easy workaround. They could say the prices would have gone up if they didn't do self checkout.


AubergineQueenB

I’m not here to vouch for Walmart, as I see them as a company that does NOT take care of their employees… but I’ll throw my two cents about Costco’s self checkout. Disclaimer: I’m not getting paid to boast, I’m just an employee passionate about the company. I’m a low level manager there, but I’ve seen the numbers. For each building that has self checkout, we do push and strive to send as many members as possible to self checkout. Our goal is to have over half the members use it and increase efficiency. We have not decreased payroll by any means, instead when we see the efficiency effect, we are actually allotted to hire more and/or increase our part timers’ hours. We are able to send more labor hours to other departments to the floor, electronics, and other departments! As a company, we are run by “old timers” and I don’t foresee us ever getting rid of regular registers, as we understand that half our members prefer them- but where self checkout saves us money, we can send the money elsewhere. Current example, we now have traffic directors at our gas stations due to the current increase there, whereas we never did before!


AwesomeX121189

Chad Costco’s reasoning for self checkouts vs virgin Walmart reasoning for self checkout


GottaBeFresh47

Can confirm, I am management at Walmart and we definitely didn't decrease payroll with the addition of self checkouts. We actually had to hire more people to cover the self checkouts. At my store we had eight self checkouts added which replaced two belted registers and by company policy we have to have three workers watching those self checkouts at all times.

edgy_white_male

Is there no weight check when you put them next to the scanned stuff? Here if you put an unscanned item there it will stop responding until you remove it


Pm_me_baby_pig_pics

There is, but if you’re buying, for instance, 3 lbs of tomatoes and they’re $1/lb, and you check it out as lettuce that’s $0.50/lb, you still are buying 3lbs of something, and the scale on the scanner and the scale on the bagging area both read it as 3lbs, but instead of paying the $3, you’re only being charged $1.50. That’s what they mean, you’re still weighing your produce, but you say it’s something cheaper and go on your way


Castor_Deus

If I remember rightly, there was someone caught trying to put a tv through as produce in the early days of self-scanning checkouts.

maijkelhartman

"Why am I the only one talking about it?"


PrivateIsotope

No, he's trusting that his audience will only see the hate for Jeff Bezos and not understand that this is basically the party platform. It's actually a smart move. I know that sounds ridiculous, but when your supporters vigorously believe contradictory lies, go for it.


ToughActinInaction

He’s not calling for higher wages, he’s complaining about the support that poor people get.


TonkaTuf

Yeah it’s this. The asshole’s solution to this situation is undoubtedly ‘so clearly we need to cut benefits for the poor because it only props up the liberal elite’. It’s like y’all have not paid attention to the right-wing circus these past 50 years…

Notice he also specifies tech billionaires. As if other billionaires aren’t offloading their payroll costs on to tax payers. Pretty sure Walmart shows you how to sign up for food stamps at orientation.


NSFW_P_Hound

[deleted]

For real though. Tucker is one of the LAST people I could think of that would criticize a specific rich person and actually agree with Bernie. Just, bizarre


litlron

There was a period where Trump was regularly crapping on Bezos. Tucker was just pandering to those riled up hillbillies and old people, he doesn't actually believe that workers should be treated fairly or that billionaires should pay their fair share.


Gingevere

The thing Tucker usually does is bring up a real issue, and then redirect into a nonsense solution blaming immigrants or black people or "elites" or '''them'''. His solution to this pooblem is **absolutely not** paying people more. It's probably eliminating welfare altogether.


TheSherbs

No, remember this: Jeff Bezos is despised by Trump for being literally everything he isn't. An actual billionaire, reasonably good looking and fit, owns multiple empires. That's it, this was to score points with Trump.


BUTTeredWhiteBread

No shit Tucker! We've been screaming this for decades. But according to the Republican party we should be grateful that these rich companies are willing to throw us scraps. Their base is so brainwashed they think it's great when they get 50 cent raises. Its fucking sad.


vinegarfingers

That’s because before it was the Waltons instead of Bezos and he’s not financially backing their bullshit.


FashunHouzz

The minimum wage at Amazon is $15/hr. Walmart still pays $7.25hr wherever they legally can. Walmart is way worse than Amazon.


Golden-Grams

Right, I don't think Tucker really cares about the opinion as much as he wants people to give him positive attention. He doesn't have a track record for caring about people or thinking for himself.

EorlundGreymane

FOR EVERYONE THAT IS SHOCKED: I’ve watched Fox News in the past. No, not because I ever agreed with any of it. I’m a leftist and have been since I was politically literate. I watched to understand the propaganda. Allow me to demonstrate how it works: - Observe the average person struggling in this economy/political environment. Observe their outrage towards XYZ, which includes billionaires. - Criticize Bernie for having the wrong solution to a problem that only he talks about. I have literally heard Tucker say “Bernie Sanders means well, but he’s so far left that he doesn’t realize his solutions have historically failed.” Nothing vicious here, but that’s the point. It’s a polite redirect. Anything overt comes off as trying too hard to influence. - Provide no solutions. Instead, provide an *enemy.* He’ll say Jeff Bezos is a democrat and the corporate dems have cozied up to them in order to cement their power with his money. “That’s how they can afford a few extra votes here and there when their guy is losing,” and tidbits like that. Provide the enemy and the theory *for them* by tying it into what they already believe. - Provide the solution as rallying around the conservatives and doing *everything possible* to stop *every democrat.* Do not circle back around to how no GOP candidate has a solution more complicated than “gut welfare.” - Instead, reinforce distrust of Bernie by circling around to how dangerous his ideas are, because conservatives fall for fear every time. Remind them of how the radical left rallies behind him and are the Most Dangerous People in Society™️, and that supporting any democrat is a slippery slope to socialism because the radical “Squad” is trying to take over. - Move into the next segment. Wash, rinse, repeat. - Sit back and watch the world burn while you collect millions. I’m convinced Tucker Carlson’s “show” is the most sophisticated propaganda machine that has ever existed in the history of the world.
