If I paid more attention in English class I could make this into an essay. Something about the “dog eat dog” nature of capitalism and the expectation that you will do it with rosy cheeks. The use of the butcher pig is an interesting take on the idiom as the harsh competition is often thought of as between faceless firms; rather than a blue collar worker. If I was a cultured pig I might have even watched the motion picture “Soylent Green” and weave it into the essay. Is the butcher aware of what goes into the grinder? Could it be that this pig is a revolutionary and is eating the rich pig?
3rd candidate pun:
Oink-oborous
I could see a dressed up og sitting in front of a computer. That’s like the rest of the jobs
Every online career be like:
Why is the pig a cannibal
Capitalism makes cannibals of us all. 😔
Need entrepreneurial animal farm with a French guillotine twist
They’re eating human
It’s human meat.
Its just a long pig

I could totally imagine a clothed pig sitting in front of a computer
Literally me (to be fair I’m not always clothed).

Dumb question: what is this illustration from? I recognize the art style, but can’t place it.

So a billionaire is a real job now? I don’t even have to imagine a billionaire being a pig, they all already are!
Being billionaire is not a job.
that’s what I’m saying, but a pig could be it in a children’s story
All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
In this hypothetical situation, if you can’t imagine a fanciful depiction of a pig doing it, then it isn’t a job. But the opposite isn’t necessarily true. Just because you can imagine a fanciful depiction of a pig doing it doesn’t necessarily mean it is a job, just that it could be.
But imagine them in a childrens book doing their job
That is the hard ppart
This is just a stock image but it’s not hard to imagine it being in a children’s story. Besides, Scrooge McDuck is an existing character in a children’s story that is a billionaire as a duck.
At least Scrooge McDuck isn’t portrayed as having a healthy relationship with wealth.
But in this photo, they are throwing money, not doing their job
their “job” is literally none other than being rich
throwing money is part of that
the other part is swimming in a pool of money
Swimming in a pool of and throwing money arent jobs, they are hobbies
If they dont do anything other than that, they are jobless
