    My view is that the people who benefit as shareholders when companies steal from their employees are those that hold considerable numbers of shares, which is not the working class people were talking about. Also, Americans with 7 figure portfolios are the far and away exception. Probably not in your circles, which is why you think it's normative

    Why don't the poor people just stop being poor and buy tens of thousands of shares like executives and the investor class does? Have they even HEARD of bootstraps??

    I think the real issue at hand is that productivity gains are not evenly distributed or enjoyed. Rather than the employees seeing a wage increase commiserate with their increase in productivity, we see the shareholders reap that benefit more often than not.

    Yeah man, the whole thing just continues to be weird and not quite fit together. Of course, trump wouldn't have it any other way - people will keep talking about this for a looooong time as long as there's all this uncertainty

    dude it's wild how excited the chuds get to put fascist flags on their boats - Port Oconnor was full of em on 4th of July weekend even with Beyrl coming

    My biggest complaint with Acolyte is that much like the sequel trilogy, it has very weak story telling. There's no "because of... therefore...." with the characters, and it's all "and then.... and then...." that's moving the plot forward. Thankfully, it's not as contrived as a puzzle knife that's the solution to TWO macguffins in ROS, but the writers left so many threads unused and just dangling in Acolyte. I agree with the spirit of your post though, I love seeing more aspects of Star Wars and am happy to take a few C-'s and D's if it means we get the highs of Andor and Bad Batch s3

    I doubt that it was just $5B, there's so many knock on effects and deaths that come from cascading failures that take down hospitals and 911

    Whatever the case, I for one am glad how easy and unburdened we are with things like CHL requirements so that the Everyman can be armed at all times. It's only ever solved problems

    It's a funny meme, but for what it's worth, it is a hoax. Unfortunately https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/jd-vance-did-not-have-sexual-relations-with-that-couch-the-viral-hoax-about-vance-a-glove-and-a-sofa-explained Because those memes are getting good lol

    Because our healthcare system is plagued with middlemen and shareholders that are eager to add fees and take percentages?

    USDOT would agree with you that it's some bullshit https://www.npr.org/2024/07/23/nx-s1-5049792/deltas-airlines-delays-and-cancelations-prompt-dot-investigation

    It was already ugly. You new here or something? We're all but counting down republicans openly calling Harris racial slurs, and the (R) speaker has had to ask his caucus to tone it down already. The real fun is when the fascist fluffers show up to repeat the hollow talking points, and then run away crying about how mean the CR is for shitting on their unsourced bullshit

    If Bill Barr visits him, time to go on high alert

    The kids are alright https://www.ign.com/articles/fortnite-players-band-together-to-pick-on-in-game-tesla-cybertrucks-destroy-on-sight Epic Games producer Kyle Wynn also chimed into the conversation. In addition to reminding players that companies are made up of individuals with a variety of thoughts and beliefs, Wynn says, “also yeah, hard focus on sight.”

    Can we talk about the nationwide effort to criminalize books as enshittification of our education system? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna161444 The law enforcement officer spent months methodically gathering evidence. He leafed through thousands of pages and highlighted key passages amid reams and reams of paper. He wore his body camera to record his interactions with witnesses and suspects. And he photographed what he saw as instruments of the alleged crime: Books. The targets of the investigation? Three school librarians in Granbury, Texas. The allegation? They had allowed children to access literature — such as “The Bluest Eye,” by Toni Morrison — that the officer, Scott London, a chief deputy constable, had deemed obscene.

    So weird how campaign finance laws only seem to matter for Democrats

    Delta has probably outsourced most of its IT staff so it's probably still in the discovery phase of unfucking things. Laying off all that tribal knowledge exposes your org to significant operational risk of things aren't sufficiently documented. And things are never sufficiently documented

    Yeah nobody I work with has change windows into Friday - last planned window ends at like 6A on Thursday morning so they'll have 2 working days to fix any prod impact

    you'd better believe genX will find a way to get skipped over. It is known.

    These are the same water heads that have called me an "antifa fascist" without a trace of irony

    Well the majority has been so consistent sticking to precedent and following the guidance of past rulings, so there's absolutely nothing to worry about right?
