No, because I don't lie about peeing in a bottle at my job and make trouble. But if there was a union there'd be a never ending parade of shit I'd have to watch out for. Like having to pretend that we have to piss in bottles

Did you try to catch a serial killer today? If not you helped kill their victim. Now either explain the limit to that logic or turn yourself in to the police.

Your 'everything is connected, inaction is action' argument is only compelling if you can provide a counter-example. A place where your rule breaks down. A rule without exceptions, in a complex domain, is just wrong. Yes, we all b

It's society's attitude. That we can fix a problem by making it someone else's problem. In the end it costs all of us more because we're still stuck fixing it but also dealing with the consequences of bad and badly enfor

I reject your absolutist ideology. If it's a forced choice of with your or against you, then you've asked for against. Edit: With them or they'll do anything from downvote you to set your car on fire. This is why people don&#

And the drivers don't want to be employees or they'd be stuck driving for one company with a set shift. We need to fix contracting which means fixing access to affordable (ie, the same actual cost the company would pay) medical. T

This attitude that everything is the service providers problem is why service for the disabled is shitty. It does take longer to get into a car, etc, and that does cost a hungry driver more money. The extra cost should be born by society, w

No, your post clearly lacks cites for your claims because you expect me to go look them up on my own. By your logic that's not logic. The OPs claims were not flippant and are easy to verify. Erhk was being lazy and trying to pin that l

Vietnam was addressed as less successful. And Japan was treated like a colony after WW2, like Germany. Both lost most autonomy.
