Not sure what you are referring to. My point was that "traveling" is meaningless when you have a family. The personal attack is immature. Grow up champ, you'll be happier!

That all makes total sense. To be fair, I only realized I really wanted to kids once my wife and I started really considering it and my friends started having them.

Tourism != real life. Or are you joking? I hope so, because it takes a certain kind of stupid to not understand the very very bad things that a shrinking population would cause.

As a dad of (soon) 3, I would say that social media/etc have raised the expectations of parenting. Keep in mind that the kids aren't the only ones growing up and learning - the parents are too. And hopefully learning from their pa

It is hard to explain to 20 year olds that bragging about their trip to Europe means nothing when you are 45.

You are in the family you help create. It is not just thrust upon you. The existence of despair need not discourage others to thrive.

Corporate profits are good, they help companies make new things. Do you think they should lose money? How would you be typing on a computer if that evil, evil company didn't make a profit? There is a reason every communist society has

Europe's "socialist" only works because they depend on the USA for military protection and tech innovation. Or oil revenues.

A pawn of consumerism? Please, please, I beg you. Detail a single communist civilization that thrived. Give me a break. The world is actually great, you are just focused on the negatives. Ever think that a child born today would be the one

Extended period? How about 5 years? 15? 25? There is literally nothing in the world that compares to the joy of having a large, loving, family that you helped create. The day-by-day crying or trivial complaints that you are so short-sighted

The world is not even close to 1% "overpopulated". The 1% indulge? The greatest thing a person can do is raise a child and build a legacy. No class warfare or nonsense about climate change can change that. If you want a smaller wo

1. Climate change is most certainly not an extinction level event. 2. I spend many days with kids. They are great. I suggest you do the same and experience the human experience. Someone had to deal with the piece of crap you were when you w

We are letting developers dictate what housing gets built? Are you a parody account? Do you understand the thousands of housing regulations in every single parcel of land in the country? Please do 2 minutes of research into FAR, inclusionar

Nobody is butthurt, kid. I responded to a specific claim. Instead you throw around insults like a child. Literally nobody, including myself, is claiming anyone is "better". Again, again, again. If you still management at these com

by matchbok3 4mo ago
I am directly responding to the claims that management is useless and not needed. It's not puzzling at all.

Um, where did I mention China or Russia? Intellectually lazy? What are you even talking about? Stay on topic, you are embarrassing yourself.

I'll take our #1 companies, #1 tech scene, #1 innovative companies and #1 stock market over.... whatever you have, any day. We aren't raised in "fear" of anything. We are raised to reach our potential, not depend on a na

Can you point to the stock markets and silicon valley, and tech leaders and military of those countries? Oh, wait...

The American military would not exist without the economic freedoms we have.

The Samsung deal is exactly what I'm talking about. It is not all entirely good. Everyone at Samsung not working in chips got screwed. And those lucky few union members used their power to extract an unfair amount of money from the c

Do you think Vox has ever written about how transit unions increase costs by mandating redundant workers and work against technology that could automate trains? Do you think Box has ever written about how Detroit unions fought EVs and AVs a

Is Rockstar try to ban unions? Or just deciding they don't want to work with one. Those are very, very different things.

Your avoidance of answering my question provides me with more than enough knowledge about your capabilities regarding engaging in this topic in a thoughtful, intelligent manner.
145.
by matchbok3 5mo ago
That is an entirely different argument that's not particularly germane to this topic. One can agree that unions, in the past, have helped workers, and also understand that they are not always in the best interest of the general public.

by matchbok3 5mo ago
If this "management" is so incompetent and ineffective, the workers shouldn't need them, right? They should just start their own company. Didn't think so. This simplistic view of "management" is detrimental to

What a luxury you have to spend so much money on things, then. Hint: most people don't live that way.

There's no data to prove this assertion, unfortunately.
