It’s not that they’re stupid - it’s that they’re completely unscrupulous and unethical. If you gave up on being a decent human being then I’m sure you’d think up loads of ways of making those megabucks. How about slavery! Hmm, too on the nose. How about we insert ourselves as rent-seeking middlemen in a stable industry, taking a fee from customers and only giving tasks to the workers who generate enough profit for us. It’s not slavery, it’s just the gig economy! And when we say “people are happier not being employees under our system” it won’t be because we’re stupid, it’ll be because we no longer care about inconvenient truths that get in the way of our profits.

Please don’t do any of this, kind lemming.

From my experience they are really good at blending in and going with the flow, so in companies this means that they are like minded and team players. If you want to move up and make more money you just need to become a yes man and stop making waves

Gotta come up with something stupid and convince stupid people to buy it.

Stupid babies need the most attention.
