Don’t let one monkey see what the other monkeys get paid. (HR Rule #1.)

I like how the monkey that got screwed tried to forcefully open his cage, so he could get the grapes.

Exactly!

Now they need to run another test where one monkey gets grapes for doing the task but the other gets grapes for doing nothing.

What crap. It’s not “the Wall Street Protest”.

Also,, see if the monkey throws it back if it’s starving.

And do a test where one monkey can do something hard the other monkey can’t.

Ted Talks are trite.

In real life that monkey would be watering Kramer from another area.

Lol!

When the Monkees show was canceled, only Micky still had money because he looked to his mother, a former singer/actress who gave up her career for family, for investment advice.

How about an experiment in which a smart, industrious monkey is offered 10 grapes but 5 are taken and given to the stupid, lazy monkey? Would the smart monkey stop working hard and would the dumb one grow to hate the other?

In other words would the monkeys like communism ?

“In other words would the monkeys like communism ?”

Nope, monkeys are far far smarter than liberals, woke turkeys, and 99% of the “professors” currently pretending to be smart.

“What crap. It’s not “the Wall Street Protest”.
The hell it isn’t, that’s EXACTLY what it is.

“...see if the monkey throws it back if it is starving.”
IDIOCY, once everyone is starving no one will throw water cucumbers back, right ?

“And do a test where one monkey can do something hard the other monkey can’t.”
That really undermines your Marxist argument.

That’s a chimpanzee.

Chimpanzees are considered apes, I believe.

I think the division is that if it has a tail, it is a monkey, and if it doesn’t have a tail, it is an ape.

As chimps grow up, they can become quite dangerous.
