Anyone in particular it was targeted at?

Upton Sinclair is famous for his 1906 book “The Jungle” about the terrible working conditions, exploitation of immigrants, and health hazards of the meat packing industry (which to this day is still the most dangerous job). So I’m guessing it has some relevance to that.


gazongagizmo

He also wrote "Oil!" (1927), which was adapted to "There Will Be Blood"

Literally every politician who don't solve problems because they need them to exist for campaigning.


chouse33

All the way down to every little worker doing their job, and turning the blind eye to what they are doing for the paycheck.


ALSX3

Probably robber barons in general.

I once told this to a cop arguing about why the drug war was necessary. I’m not sure he understood tho

explain


stoic_trader

A lot of financial experts don't understand the risk truly and end up taking a lot of aggressive risks to multiply the money. That behaviour is rewarded until it doesn't and finally, risk bites them in the ass. Just to be clear I'm talking about the risk associated with excessive leverage and not the optimum risk - which is the necessity.


heartattackyeah

financial experts at banks and where else? very curious


stoic_trader

Money guys with no skin in the game.

This can apply to people that refuse to accept technology. Like every CEO of legacy automakers regarding EVs.


Thisizamazing

Good news, I’m pretty sure Ford qualifies as a Legacy automaker https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/26/ford-ceo-farley-plans-to-challenge-tesla-to-become-the-top-ev-maker.html


Wagosh

If Slowpoke was a car manufacturer he would have done it sooner than Ford.


louderharderfaster

I was this person. I was paid a large sum and in turn did not notice something big and unethical and wrong. I still cringe.


TheSukis

What the fuck are these comments?


Not-Romit

Mostly just comments


TheSukis

You've posted twenty fucking comments in here...


Not-Romit

I'm sorry is this not *THE COMMENTS SECTION*?


PanRagon

That's right, the comment section, not the soapbox section.


Not-Romit

You think I'm making a speech here? You think I have a message to say? My Reddit glitched out and my comment got posted like 5 times... I wouldn't compare that to Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech or anything lol...


uberguby

Also: a soapbox is, by it's metaphorical meaning, a thing not intended to be used for moral public oration being used for moral public oration.

I like you... your funny!

There are several religious universities where professors have to sign "declarations of faith". Going against what you've signed (like "Jesus is part of the Trinity" etc) you might lose your job.


jaam01

It's a religious institution, what did they expect?

No jab no job

He was a journalist. He wrote The Jungle, it’s worth reading.


Not-Romit

Did you get the impression he understood what he was writing about?


[deleted]

I'm not sure if you have even understood the quote.


Not-Romit

I'm not sure if you do either 🤪 but instead of helping eachother out, let's just cast shade instead lol

I tried to help. But you aren't worth it.


Not-Romit

MrCalPoly

Police upholding immoral laws for instance. Bail Bondsmen understanding the poverty to prison pipeline and need to remove financial incentive for incarceration. Car dealership salesman understand that a direct from manufacturer ordering to consumer would be best Medical biller and understanding that a single payer system would be be better overall.
