    Headline from 100+ years ago:

    ‘Who dreams up this balderdash?’: Andrew Carnegie slams new idea pushed by labor unions that will force employers to give workers two days off at the end of every week

    or maybe:

    Republicans continue effort to erode US child labor rules despite teen deaths

    Oh wait, no… That one was from last year https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/20/republican-child-labor-law-death

      Frustrated by this news, Carnegie would later hire Pinkertons to kill his own workers.

      That is what CMU calls it college team right? The fightin’ pinks?

    When asked whether he ever encounters employees who silence their phones outside of work, O’Leary didn’t hesitate with his response: “The next moment is — I just fire them.”

    TBH they’re better off.

    My general sense of this dude from Shark Tank is he’s an asshole. After reading about him for 5 minutes, he’s definitely an asshole.

    If the prick wants people on-call 24 hours a day then he needs to pony up the wages to match with accompanying extended holiday for downtime.

    Kevin, seriously, what actual value do you serve to the human race? What do you do that makes life better overall? I don’t mean new toys or new companies that produce more shit, what do you make for the average person that makes their life better? Nothing, is that answer. You had a chance way back, educational software could have been a human life changer… but no, you couldn’t make money on it. So go fuck your self. Vafancullo

    It’s time to hold idiots like this guy accountable.

      The first time you watch Shark Tank, you might think this Kevin guy is a bit of an asshole. However, if you carefully study his history, his successes, and dig deep into what the man himself is like, you discover that he is, in fact, a piece of shit.

    Is this the one that mentions his Swedish virgin made underwear every time someone pitches an underwear brand on one of pretty those shows that usually end up being ‘roast my business’?
