Your argument is that the reason they were not paying out more claims is because they had to compensate their CEO?

There is absolutely 100% of the same stuff used in the US, just fancier names. Other countries reduce cost by having the state negotiate instead of many small insurance companies all negotiate separately. This is why other countries get a b

Hobbes was not the last (nor the first) person who thought about the social contract. As you put it in another comment: Allow me to blow your mind https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/contractarianism-contempo...

I don't know what working definition of social contract you are using but classically the social contract is a set of rules between individuals and a state. Crucially whenever these rules change, e.g when DRM modifies the idea of owner

There is a concept called Solidarity, which Swedes take very seriously. If one employer chooses to not play fair by the rules of the labor market (which include negotiating with unions in Sweden) then other unions will show Solidarity with

What do you mean by "leftists being lefists"? In Sweden nine out of ten employees work under a collective agreement. Are you saying some 90% of Swedish people are leftists?

This is true, but it is also in regards to compensation. In the Swedish version there are more details but as it turns out Tesla wants to compensate their workers less than the other comparable employers. With the collective agreement the w

My anecdotal experience is that it is fantastic. Having a strong union means that you can share their resources such as 100% of your wages being paid during a strike; a legal representative being provided for you by the union (for free). Wh
