"There is no reality."
Tell that to physics.
Every other post here argues their point with evidence of "in my experience..." which, given there are billions of people, is kind of superficial. If they even bother to provide evidence at all.
"Alternative facts" is a euphemism for "lies".

Clearly the poster has some skepticism about the comment, which I was trying to reaffirm for him.
The top post currently includes "People don't leave jobs, people leave managers." It may not be the top post for long though, things can change.
I'm loving this article right now[1]; tell me, are we really in a "free-market" when there is collusion and corruption at the highest levels?

- bruce511 3y agoSure in physics there is definitive reality. But you weren't using the word in that context, and I wasn't responding in a physics context. As I mentioned, experience is on a spectrum, and so you can find someone with any experience you like. It's dangerous to generalise from experience. And no, there's nothing "free" about the free market. A completely free market would abuse customers in the name of profits. Regulation is the tool consumers use to prevent the market from leveraging its position in negative ways. When parts of the govt are determined not to govern, to prevent regulations being enforced, to prioritise company, party and profit over country, then you get an environment which is ripe for exploitation.
- EchoChamberMan 3y agoDon't piss on my leg (or more accurately, let your friend do it), and tell me it's raining. The poster was being verbally abused while he is suffering, and I'm trying to mitigate that suffering with understanding. I'm not here to sing koombahya with theives and liars. Have a good day! [Edit] Less than one percent of the US population owns nearly 50 percent of the wealth. The reality is many rich people never took a half a second in their life to think about other people with empathy or compassion. Many even try to create further imbalance in their favor. "Civility" is used here as an excuse by many to be sociopaths. One person I interacted with named themselves after a serial killer. I refuse to normalize it. That's going to upset people and get me down votes. C'est la vie. (That is life).
- dudul 3y agoHow was I "verbally abusing" the poster when all I did was ask for some clarifications? "CEO only cares about money" is a completely shallow statement when it doesn't provide concrete examples to understand the context. Time off is being denied because of "non sensical rules", how about providing us with examples of these rules so we can provide perspective in return? "The world is ending!!!!" How so? Why is the world "crazier" today than it was 5 years ago? What specific struggles are we talking about here? If all the poster wanted was a nice pat on the back without any concrete opinions or attempt to put things in perspective they should have said so.

- EchoChamberMan 3y agoWow, you're condescending and rude. Way to double down and make my point for me. Thanks!
- dudul 3y agoAnd I guess you really embody the tagline in your profile "You're probably not on this site to have your viewpoints challenged, are you?" Easier to quip than to actually answer questions and provide details/context huh? Have fun bud.
