@GRHorn I'm going to dinner at Bob's tomorrow and expensing it to the surly business account simply to re-take the picture that is your avatar, and I'm going to replace it with one that actually looks

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at its all-time high today, so I'd like to congratulate Joe Biden for building the greatest economy the world has ever seen.

Why won't you answer? I asked you, since you believe that businesses run like socialists. Can CEO use physical force to make their workers do something they don't want to do?

Hell, I don't believe people are inherently good, its why I liked it, but that still didn't answer my original question. Can CEO force you to do something you don't want to?

You forget that socialism enforces taxes with a gun. Can people in corporations do that?

What? You think taxes are only associated with socialism? Pretty much every form of government, with any number of economic systems, has a system of taxation. And pretty much ever government will use force to enforce its will.

Can a CEO use physical force to make their workers do something they do want to do? Yes, they've literally done it (e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkerton_(detective_agency)). Is it legal for them do so? Depends on the specific actions. Sometimes yes, sometimes (usually) no.  Again, do you think physical force is somehow unique to socialism? Do you have any idea what socialism is?

So how is everyone doing today? Re-hydrated and well-rested and in better moods, I hope.

I thought of you when I read this:

Take the opening of Meditations (Marcus Aurelius, of course): “When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and surly.”

Nobody thinks July 4 is racist. Plenty of people think that republicans are dumbasses though and those Republican dumbasses think that people are cancel culturing July 4 because those republican dumbasses are in fact racist dipshits. 
 

I just spent July 4 in trump country and the n word was flying around like you wouldn’t believe. That and the Trump flags. 
 

You would have felt at home if you were not just a troll. 

You didn't stand for such behavior, did you? Please tell me you stood up to these people!

I don’t go on vacation with friends and other people they may know to get into political fights with racists because unlike trumpkins like yourself, I’m not a fucking moron. I’m sure you would have kicked all their asses though.

Didn’t see any better thread to place this. 

 

When digging deeper into these polls, we learn that respondents report feeling safe in their neighborhoods, they just know that crime is really bad out there somewhere.

Republicans are thinking about the criminal immigrants (who will all vote Democrat illegally in their minds), and Democrats are thinking about the criminal republicans plotting domestic terrorism.

What a fucking shocker that Jimmer keeps finding himself around N bombs being dropped repeatedly.
 

I think I’m gonna call bullshit though. I’m a conservative guy, from small town Texas and I can’t remember the last time I heard the N word dropped in conversation. But Jimmer, the guy that likes to drop the N word on CR can’t escape it. 🤔 I bet they were all wearing maga hats while they were being hardcore racist too!!!

He’s completely full of shit or his posting history here is projection. Those are the options. Pretty simple. What a joke. But he’ll get a pass here. Thanks Jimmy for telling us how racist all those yokels are that you hang out with? Wtf.

Another alternative is I can’t completely control who I encounter and I don’t look for and cause a fight when I do. It’s easier I admit to deal with racists like you on a message board.
 

Given where you claim to be from, who you hang with, and your support for trump. It’s much more likely that you are the liar here. Your posting history supports that of course.

This. “Those places” are so scary. What places? 

They can’t tell you. Doesn’t help the media is sensationalizing crime like it’s the mid-90s again.

That people can sign an agreement to contract, and make clauses if they want to for any reason break it before they sign it. You still have leverage before you agree.

Obviously everyone's experiences differ, but mine tracks with yours (aside from my own personal politics). Professionally, among family, and among fellow gun/hunting/sporting types, I am around conservatives and I NEVER hear the n-word or even much obvious/explicit racism.

It's likely class-based, because when I do hear it, it is not people within my group and they are usually lower on the economic rung.

My set doesn't need to resort to such crass stuff to ensure racial dominance.

The answer if you don't want to defund police and you want to feel safe (note I said feel, which is an emotional state and not always representative of reality), then you just get a divorce apparently:

My belief is people are not inherently altruistic and when it comes to making tough economic decisions about allocation of personal or shared resources in a world of scarcity, there will naturally be conflict. That conflict can be managed through a centrally planned power (communism) or it can meet the lowest common denominator of consensus (in the surfside case, this was inaction) which is always going to be an inferior overall situation for particular individuals of means and capabilities, but perhaps a better minimum for the group than would be for the worst individual, otherwise.

https://slate.com/business/2021/06/miami-condo-collapse-florida-building-industry-crisis.html

In other words, it's your classic utilitarianism vs libertarianism. You know, basic freshman year stuff.

I am sure that if the local authorities in Surfside had condemned the building and thrown out all the tenants based just on some pointy-headed city bureaucrat's safety report you would most certainly not call those authorities over-reaching nanny state socialists or commies.
