It's not really socialist to say that a massive corporation, that already profits in the billions, doesn't really need to have a CEO that's compensated to the tune of 10s of millions annually, and also gets a massive stock gr

But that's already a thing, and probably one of the reasons the article has so much data - C-levels ARE affected: cost reductions screw over the worker, and the C-level makes more money.

I don't know how we could through legislation mandate things like banning the US government from doing biz with companies that underpay their workers and enrich their C-Suite handsomely, but I support it. With executive pay being over

One of the worst interviews I ever had was just like that. Often times, the "gotcha" part is just dumb and nonsensical, yet gives the interviewer(s) a sense of misguided (false) superiority, and wastes everyone's time. I wou

Seriously. This is the textbook definition of front-running, or at the very least, a blatant display of insider trading.

I'll go with that. Starting with the pentagon, who hasn't ever passed a real audit. Their budget is nearly $1 trillion. I wonder how much of that goes to kickbacks, fraud, graft, etc.

There's an easy way to address this: If a corporation "moves" oversees to avoid taxes, they aren't allowed to reap the benefits of the country whose taxes they wished to avoid. If a billionaire moves to avoid taxes, they

Larson is an absolute national treasure. Some of my favorite memories of my youth were reading and re-reading some of the Larson books my uncle handed down to me - Far Side Gallery1, 2, 3 & 4 , It Came From The Far Side , and Tales

Hard to shop around as an individual who doesn't work for a large corporation. My rates are absurdly high, and I get effectively zero coverage. None of the plans I could chose from were all that different.

Can they be? Maybe. Does the average end listener (the folks listening to your tracks) really give a damn if your lead sound or bass sound was made with a digital emulation of the ARP 2600 as opposed to the real thing (or the Korg re-issue

I figured doing so would be a tad too on-the-nose in my original post, but yes, it is a clear cut case of racketeering, if not outright fraud. Agree completely regarding lack of sufficient enforcement. Honestly we could use a serious wave

>Why is it different if they do that via a middleman? Because injecting a middleman into the situation creates a facade of plausible deniability. Obviously, such deniability is complete nonsense to anyone with eyes and a brain, but here

A few questions you should answer: 1. Who would you ideally like to sell it to? I know you said designers, but the question is - are you selling it directly to them, or to companies that employ designers or a design team? Selling it direc

Time for nationalization, then. If a producer of critical infrastructure cannot make profit without cutting corners, it should be nationalized so that the need to place profit ahead of anything and everything the producer does is eliminated

Well....he's kinda right. There is a staggering amount of fraud in the world these days, and some of the more nefarious propagators of said fraud don't even bother hiding it.

No/low sugar isn't inherently better for you...just saying. Most of the time stuff that advertises that there's no or low sugar is packed with sweeteners that your body still treats as sugars...but massive food conglomerates

if you want healthier juice....buy a juicer and make it yourself. You're never going to get healthy options from a wholesaler who buys from massive brands that are not known for healthy options. Long term, making it yourself is cheap
