None. This is all manufactured consent.

Into the hands of another gov doing (funding) genocide and oppression just the same. This is all a case of “Corp can’t compete? Lobby to ban.” This is bog standard capitalism.

They won’t start listening until we remind them in ways they can actually relate to.

All this situation reads to me is “US corps can’t compete, China ‘won’ that fight so now US corps have to pretend it’s a security risk and get it banned.” There are other chinese apps. This doesn’t ban them. It’s also snuck into an aid bil

In the context of your point: Leaving your primary home empty because you visited a grocery store is not the same as leaving your 2nd (physically unnecessary) home empty except for 4 weeks a summer. Housing should be a right. Hoarding it sh

>do politics and refuse to take responsibility This is just normal capitalist logic. This is how all corporations would do it if able. See also: 2008’s banking “crisis” among others. None of this is a surprise and pretending it is ju

…I’m ok with a classless, stateless, moneyless, communist society. This does not worry me.

What other system? Capitalism has camps and mass graves. The other system has never been implemented. You know this.

> Saving money is the prime directive This is what makes all of capitalism deplorable - and sometimes criminal. When people are hurt - even knowingly - the owners need to be held to task.

Like I said - all it will take is once. Below a certain holding quantity, fine the shareholders. I didn’t say it was simple . Capitalism has destroyed more lives than it’s really worth. If it wants to keep existing its capital owners shou

>pro rata Yes. Yes you do. You set a minimum then fine below that minimum.

Exactly why I have been calling for all shareholders to be held criminally responsible.
44.
by flandish 2y ago
Easy: If this is proven to be a criminal act, even of criminal negligence, charge not only the people making decisions, the board members, but also shareholders, relative to their holdings. Including grouped stocks such as funds. All it wil

* all the years capitalism has existed. This is bog-standard capitalist formula. Profit over people. Worker and customer and public alike.

How? Is that sarcastic? Allowing colleges to profit is the problem. Clearly they care more about roi than education. If a college gets any federal taxpayer funds in any way, they should not be allowed to profit. At all.

If my employer wants me “on call” and accessable, they can either: A) provide a phone. B) pay for part of my personal bill; but no MDM allowed. C) be ok with me not always being available. I enter the job like this. I state I am also a f

No. Jail even folks buying ten shares on robinhood. Let’s make it not ok to invest in corporations committing crime.

Spot on prediction. We need to start pushing for jail for these people running (and owning) these businesses with such carelessness. - yes. I mean all owners. Shareholders too. All it would take is once for shareholders to get slapped wit

Until someone else’s pod is on the sidewalk and the cops think it’s in your house and swat you. The problem is the police. Any conversation otherwise just simps for a police / military state that will, eventually, get you, too.

by flandish 3y ago
A carjacking does not require swatting a house to pieces. Stop defending the police - they only exist to issue reminders to the public in the form of fear and sometimes death. We already have constitutional due process. Let’s use that inst

Just more marketing for a bubble. Can we stop with the AI nonsense? It’s as annoying as NFTs were.

Exactly. Safety is in the financial context not the human. Similar to the phrase “human resources”.

I agree, though some of the examples will likely bubble up to authorities in ways similar to simply googling regarding certain subjects.
