Of course they aren't, when apprehending a violent suspect in the "wrong way" may land you jobless and in jail. The looters and other criminals are operating under a protection racket run by the so-called democrats, see for e

I'm also familiar with one of the locations that closed. While I was shopping, it was raided by 80 people who also acted violently towards the patrons. It was such a poor experience I never went back there, despite it being the Target

Are you also one of those people who think the SF approach of not prosecuting theft was a good idea?

If you're a major or founding shareholder in a company while simultaneously working there, you don't negotiate via collective bargaining mechanisms. You theoretically could, but it would be pure idiocy.

A classic case of theory vs reality. Some things that look good on paper in a limited scope are devastating when used in more complex contexts. See also: communism and all it's other variants.

I can't help but to think you don't understand even the very basic premises of forming a private company.

Perhaps, but the ideals of the above commenters certainly do not come from investment banks

No, I'm choosing not to embrace some random subcategory of entrepreneurism you're trying hamfistedly promote. I have no problem with a group of people coming together to form a company, on the contrary it needs to be promoted and

Perhaps (and hopefully) you're being sarcastic with that marxist lingo, but thinking the entire wealth resides in employees is like thinking a set of wheels is equivalent to a car. Integral, but useless without the organized framework
