Then why are “middle managers” vanguarding “billionaires”?

Why are kangaroos flying attack helicopters on Alderaan?

Quick edit:

Even if what you said wasn't as ridiculous as what I said, so fucking what?

Start with the billionaires and work down.

If you start at the bottom and work up to them, it won't work.

It just fucking won't.

Yes, why aren't “middle managers” “starting with the billionaires and work down”?

Their employers? What are they supposed to "start"? Every US state except Montana is completely at-will employment, you can be fired at any time for no reason. You think a floor manager at Amazon has any particular leverage over Jeff Bezos? A middle manager has no greater advantage against the billionaires than anyone else.

You don't think there are communists and anarchists in middle management? Don't be daft
