Ok, sounds good, let's increase that federal aid and take the money from the military budget.

I don't think you understand. It's a thing we all pay for. It's a publicly funded service that defends the country. It's not about who gets in, it's about how it's paid for. We all pay together for something th

Sure. Those invisible fighter jets that don't work were a great investment. https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a21957/wtf-35/ The US military is a publicly funded socialist entity. Interesting how

They have a supply chain for content/products why not have the option to sell it through any medium including cinemas/stores. Brick and mortar isn't going away and they want their cut too.

I can and often do but my brain just shuts out the podcast when I am concentrating and I don't hear it or can only vaguely remember the content. It becomes like music or white noise. Sometimes they end and I don't notice. I find i

The piece states 40% of directors and gives some voices to the workers. There will still be many other technical voices leading the company and the elected people may still be technical. This adds some people that at least have to consider

Of course not but let's start somewhere. Make gradual socitital changes in all the areas needed starting with this bill. Education and housing reform would also be worthwhile.

So you're arguing against all democracy? If there are regular votes to keep/replace this director if they are not performing to the benefit of the workers I don't see an issue. Sure they're will be some bad choices somet

> It optimizes for the completely wrong qualities necessary for a directorship, and I could easily see it hurting the workers more than helping them. No it doesn't (see other people can make completly unqualified statements too).

That's the point. Treating low paid workers as interchangeable, disposable resources needs to change and this is a small step towards giving them a little more control of their situation.

Unions and worker ownership can help make a company actually consider the workers rather than just profit. In the US the balance has gone so far in the direction of treating low wage workers as disposable resources that any step to improve

This would be another labour law to increase accountability.

Right. If you ban racists openly spouting hate speech and inciting violence it's clearly a very fine line between that and banning baseball. Slippery slope. How can we possibly draw that line.

In some case there is direct harm caused by the posts. Pizzagate was an example which led to a man turning up to a pizza shop with a gun based on the fake story and the business owners received death threats. Not everything is as easy as ju

Funny how they can easily and quietly manage banning Kodi yet stuggle publicly with removing blatent hate speech. Not saying they're equivalent, just that Facebook is perfectly capable of blocking things when they want to despite the f

This is a common argument used to detract from protests (I'm not saying you are using it deliberately). People ask why people have to be so distruptive and question the methods to move from the issues and focus on the individuals. Why

No. The point of this whole thread is there is no button so that when you approach the car it unlocks automatically. That's why this attack is possible by extending the range with repeaters. The key likely already has something similar
