The ability for these State Attorneys General to do this is good. The fact that it had to come down to this is terrible.

I don't know where you're getting this isn't supported. I'm entirely on board with this; I just wish it went further.

No. That is not at all true. That is an excuse made up to justify crappy things.

oldcomput? And I don't think that simply paying them their existing salary, or the salary at the last day is enough. I feel it should really hurt to enforce a non-compete, because you are saying that you do not want someone to be able

That sounds incredibly shitty, though. You have to take a 50% pay cut and not be able to advance in your chosen field? Most people I know would struggle quite a bit with such a huge pay cut.

"How often does CNN go the other way and say "Trump is right" in an attempt to seem relevant?" I guess that would depend on how often Trump has been right.

"Don't hate the player, hate the game" is a pretty garbage excuse for behavior, and ends up leading to a pretty low bottom.

The only reason people think that is because of a GOP smear campaign that's been going on since she became involved in politics.

No, it wasn't a non-partisan, even handed post. It was specifically trying to blame everyone, and in doing so, downplay the actions of the group that does justify the blame.

"From the outside, it's been glaringly obvious that the US has had a very nasty partisanship problem for quite a while." I don't recall Pelosi saying that she wanted to make Bush a "one term president". I don&#

"Don't most of them include a provision forcing the company to pay a share of your salary if they decide to activate it?" Almost none of them do that. That's one of the reasons why they're so shitty.

They never are. And given that the company is usually the one making the demand, they get to define "similar value".

"And it's not like the Democrats are super-good on this issue either!" Democrats don't claim to be "super-good" on free markets. Democrats would rather see fair treatment of employees and consumers, even if it

Good. These agreements by themselves are completely immoral, but when you have a sandwich shop and a summer camp using them, then you know you've reached a new level of evil.

They did. But you ignored the fact that your original number was the amount raised for several different organizations over a longer period of time. You chose not to mention that, for reasons I think I know.

At the same time, if you clearly didn't read the article, you should expect to be called out on it.

No, I don't believe it's moving any goalposts. The fact of the matter is, the stadiums are for teams owned by billionaires who could easily build their own stadium, and they get far more in subsidies than the other things you ment

Read The Chickenshit Club. Basically, after Enron and Arthur Anderson, Congress and the Courts worked to neuter the ability of the SEC and the DoJ to really punish these guys. Combine that with people in those offices not wanting to go too

"Nobody is blaming anyone by asking a question." That's not true. Many times people use the "asking questions" as a ruse to do just that, and erode support for these people by saying it's their own fault for be

"So that's $1.3. billion in tax dollars raised specifically to fund the museums and zoo in the largest park of one mid-sized U.S. city." That's divided amongst 5 public organizations. Not all going to one billionaire. &q

Those things don't receive anywhere near the amount of funding that stadiums and arenas do.

No, it's easy to blame Amazon because they're treating their workers like shit.

by s73v3r_ 8y ago
No, it does hurt to blame the victims.
415.
by s73v3r_ 8y ago
Because there aren't any jobs. And quite frankly, I honestly do not care if there are other jobs or not. That kind of treatment is completely unacceptable, and there is zero legitimate reason for Amazon to treat them that way.

Right, but then that just makes their argument that much weaker.

As someone who has to sit next to a team that does that, it's annoying as fuck to listen to people have a meeting like that. EDIT: I don't know why this is downvoted. It's incredibly rude to have meetings at your desk like th

Don't. If you're going to name a number, name the number. Don't hem and haw about it.

Yeah, but if I'm already making the market number, then any company that wants me to leave has to provide a reason why I'd want to jump ship. Usually that reason can be more money.
