That must be why the capital owners and corporations constantly lobby for more subsidies yet talk about how giving money to poor people is a moral hazard. Just different perspectives, huh? The reality is that governments are captured by tho

I was more talking about their role as road pirates who harass and selectively enforce laws against minority and poor communities while breaking up protests when people get fed up with the treatment, but that's a US centric view

It's the asinine relativist view that there are somehow 'two sides' to every single issue. It's bullshit and it's the reason the US has been sliding into consolidation of corporate power in the government. People ca

Okay? They're still doing a bad, actively harmful and illegal thing to their employees Who gives a shit about their profit when their workers are being suppressed

High crime areas are that way usually due to persistent intergenerational poverty and a lack of investment in the community combined with little to no local opportunity. That's how things are in the US at least, these conditions create

Weird how people seem to be okay with oligopolistic and monopolistic behavior from corporations but when workers unionize and take action to improve their material conditions it's the end of the world We can see this attitude in the wa

A piece like this puts out the idea that unions are harmful, but the idea that it puts forward alongside that is that the quality of products takes priority over the wellbeing and care for the workers themselves. It's telling us that w

It's rather the amount and perception of amount added. Usually in recipes while cooking, the amount is more controlled and distributed throughout the dish. Adding further salt adds more uncontrolled variability to the sodium intake in
