You should add that they use pension funds to do this too. Easy to make stupid bets when it's not your money.

I think a better framing we should ask ourselves is why is the onus on the government to make sure a breakup is clean? Nothing in the constitution guarantees the rights of corporation.

Can you say what you prefer? I'm always down for alternative UX flows and with hyprland being so user specific it's hard to see how people leverage it across the spectrum.

Well the comment was about the history of SWE, if you want a comprehensive history you don't focus on the lived memory of one single individual.

No, this is called exit and it assume that monetary reasons are the only important thing in an economy. That is false, workers should be allowed to exercise their voice about bad management and change bad management. If you want to leave th

I don't really gain much when we bring people over here to write shitty java spring end points or react components, these are things Americans can do. Also the idea that the trillion dollar tech companies can't find talent should

Impeachment that has to be done in a house of congress that was designed to have minimal accountability and is deeply anti-democratic? Maybe it "broke" down because there were no real checks and balances to begin with.

You say no practical way, I say system working exactly as designed. Many people who wrote the constitution were actively disdainful of "the democracy" problem. They openly hated that citizens were practicing local politics in town

The US president was always designed to be like this. It's like people are deliberately forgetting anti-federalists were not only a thing, they warned about these exact same problems over 200 years ago.

Someone must tell the 200,000+ dead Iraqi civilians that the war was fake.

I also like the same stack, as it plays very well with a terminal focus workflow.

I didn't know it's whataboutism when you list things to support an argument, good to know.

Because these same people are being told if they don't use LLMs in their job they will be fired. Truly think the political instincts of 90% of the people on this site is just straight up laughable. You don't get to turn the dial b

Man this is why people don't trust democrat politicians to help them. Imagine telling a voter "you don't deserve a job and deserve to be homeless." Good grief no wonder SV + SF have the political instincts of a soiled di

The easiest way to radicalize workers is to simply tell them what profit is.

Okay? That has nothing to do with what I said, what about the Biden admin helping run cover for the Gaza genocide? Was that not a case of putting profits, the military industrial complex, above people? What about when Clinton signed NAFTA a

This seems pretty inline with our leadership tho. This country has always put profits above people.

Because you're a tech worker that sees no issues worker for some of the most evil companies on the planet whereas Mamdani wants you to have childcare + cheaper food + better infrastructure. Not hard to see who is the genius in this equ

There are many payday loan operators and those willing to sell predatory loans to those workers you mention buying boats or RVs. I've yet to see a payday loan open up in SF to help tech workers buy hardware.

The dude was pals with Epstein and likely had sex with a women that was likely a sex slave, good riddance. Anyone that continues listening to Bill Gates after his Epstein connections, and purposely causing tens of thousands of Indians to di

But Taylor Farms knew within the first 48 hours that they were the cause and instead of warning the public they went to the White House to get protection.

Any DA can investigate it, they don't need Musk or some other big tech dipshit to tell them otherwise. Real crimes were committed and no charges are being pressed.

The dream of a perpetual labor machine is the end goal of capitalists. It's how you usher in the extermination age. Much easier to do once you declare 20-40% of the population "useless."

How many of those are new deal democratic politicians now? That is the distinction that matters because old neoliberals do exist and have outnumbered new dealers for decades now.

You know you don't have to always accept government overreach under the guise of "fairness." It's not fair, it was never fair, why are you expecting it to be fair? Just look at how the US treats "ecoterrorists"
