But do they officially make the claim that they would fire anybody who doesn't attend? I personally would want to fire anybody who wants to form a union, if I was in the situation. Why should anybody be forced to employ somebody who wa

OK fair enough - workers uniting to have better negotiating power are not automatically socialism. In my country the special legal protections for unions are socialism (special worker rights in general are). And so is the claim that workers

Why not require Amazon to build bathrooms every 2 miles. Everything is possible under socialism. Just command it.

How can it be a "mandatory session" that people can freely choose not to attend? That's impossible.

It's not the employers fault if an employee needs a job to survive. And the 400$ story really needs to be analysed some more. I don't think it means most of those people are broke, just that they don't keep that much cash aro

Again, it is a nice thought, but ultimately I don't think the rule "women should do the first step" is really what society should aim for. I'm not even sure women would want it that way. Nevertheless, the feelings of men

So maybe the girls are ageist and should be trained out of it, for our modern tolerant society? France has a president with a wife who is 25 years older than him, and that is universally applauded. I can relate to the feeling, but on the ot

Serious question, why is it inappropriate? It is against the "Bro Code" from "How I met your mother", but other than that? Sure, we are trained to feel uneasy about it, but if you really think about it, why exactly? Beca

Obviously the age of consent can be discussed, it even varies from country to country. I don't understand the EMACS virgin joke? I don't think asking women on dates is automatically "inappropriate behavior". How are men

I would like to know what John Sullivan is thinking, if his resignation is even related to the RSM issue. Does he want to appease the mob? Is he personally disgusted by RSM? Or does he want to be on the right side, and the disgust stems fro

Socialists are mean because they want to steal other people's property (and often also murder them). The "afford a basic human need" thing is just a smoke screen, as there is enough space to live in Germany. And if you want t

But if the client has a specific requirement, nobody else will have coded the same thing. Maybe in some cases you can link together some open source projects and pretend you did a lot of work.

The are people, though. Can you tell me which people are "not protected class" in your socialist future? That's where it gets interesting. For example Jews were not a protected class in Germany.

I live in Berlin, too. The argument is "but people need to live here because of the jobs" - but if they move here because of the jobs, the jobs are obviously paying enough. The people who want the government to pay their rent now

There is rent control in Berlin - you can not arbitrarily rise the rents of people who are already renting your property.

To have a right to live in your home town, you should buy land. That is the traditional meaning of right to live somewhere, to own the land.

How would you propose building a nest egg for retirement? Real estate has traditionally been one of the ways. You can look for other ways, but more and more are being shut down by the government. Providing housing is a service like any othe

So essentially, if you own anything, and don't give it away for free, you are a parasite? There is plenty of cheap land available everywhere. Berlin from the OPs story was very, very cheap 20 years ago, but then the socialist didn'

If you can't afford the rent, your work is shit anyway, and you might as well move. The other question is how you managed to move where you live now to begin with. There are places where you can get land for free. If you band together

I bought caffeine pills when I went on a multi day hiking trip, because I was really worried about withdrawal :-) In the end I didn't need them, one cup of coffee I was able to get in the hut in the morning was enough.
