Where's the snark? I'm asking you why if you're opposed to mandatory contribution of union dues by employees, you're not similarly opposed to mandatory contribution to shareholder profits by employees. It's a 100% g

How am I less free because my country has free healthcare and decent unemployment benefits?

Again you've seemed to misunderstand. I'm happy to work at the company and make money, I just don't want to be forced to contribute to shareholder profits, just like you don't want to be forced to contribute to union due

You've misunderstood. I want to work at the company, I just don't want to be forced to contribute shareholder profits - just like you want to work at the company but don't want to be forced to contribute union dues.

No, I want to be an employee. I simply don't want to be forced to join the shareholder profit contributors group, as that would be an attack on liberty, free association, and voluntarism.

Why does being forced to deal with management and contribute to shareholder profits not take away freedom and agency from the working class?

I’m not asking to be considered a profit contributor but not contribute to profits. I’m asking to not be a profit contributor.

Can always get a new job. But if every company has shareholders, can’t avoid that. Really don’t understand the reasoning to not making contributing to shareholder profit voluntary. Completely illogical. Basically you agree it’s authoritaria

Why is it bad to be forced to deal with the union and contribute to union dues, but fine to be forced to deal with management and contribute to shareholder profits?

Should you also have the right to work at the company and not be forced to contribute to shareholder profits? Surely any management that was actually good for workers would have no reason to oppose such a measure.

Why is it authoritarian and bad to be forced to interact with the union, but fine to be forced to interact with management?

Why should you have the right to work at a company withing joining the union, but not have the right to work at the company without generating money for shareholders?

The parent comment really isn't at all descriptive of actual reality, somebody could really come away with the wrong impression reading it. It's misleading to consider unions in other countries like the Nordics as anything other t

Saying “I am under 30” for instance is hardly divulging anything that could possibly be sensitive.

You’re not comfortable talking about your age? Why not? Can you just give a broad range?

Yep can confirm, I lived in Christchurch through the quake and aftermath. Aftershocks multiple times a day for months afterwards.

Sounds great - higher taxes are good.

Why is it racketeering when a union prevents me from working for the company without contributing to fees, but not when management prevents me from working for the company without contributing to shareholder profits?

by djrobstep 5y ago
The company's management can prevent me from working for the company without contributing to shareholder profits - do you also think that is bad? If not, what's the difference?

Without the employees, there would also be no company. You cannot work at the company without being forced to generate money for shareholders. You also cannot at the company without generating money for the union (if membership is compulso

It does provide value to the business, but to the employees rather than the shareholders. The question is why should interactions with the shareholder reps be compulsory, but not the employee reps? Why is compulsion fine for one but not the

Why is the union a parasite, but not the company’s shareholders? In both cases employees are forced to send them revenue. So why is one good but the other bad?

Why is it bad to be forced to generate revenue for the union as a condition of employment, but ok to be forced to generate revenue for the company as a condition of employment?

I think you’re taking this a bit too literally - nobody is saying that space exploration money alone can cure homelessness. The point is that it’s emblematic of all the frivolous, useless things resources get allocated to, instead of curing

Drawing a bit of a long bow to consider a trillion dollar fund voting in its own shareholder interests anything other than financially driven.

Hi, author here. While this is on the front page, a couple of updates regarding migra that you might be interested in: - Development slowed on migra for a quite a while, but I've recently returned to active development, and we also hav

Author here, as evanelias notes in another reply comment, tusker is built on top of migra. My intention with migra was always to keep it as a pure diff tool, as opposed to a tool that enforces a particular workflow. That means you can eithe

Hello, I'm the author. There are a whole variety of uses for tools like this, some of the most common: - Autogenerate migrations. A diff tool can (not always but very often) generate the migration script you need automatically without

This is a very good example of why you should be using a schema diff/comparison tool. Run your rename on a copy of your production schema, then run a diff tool to see what's actually changed - in this case it would show a view def
