Many such cases.
There words are nebulous and arguable, but in that context, this is the core problem with "capitalism" (not to be confused with "free markets").
Capitalism has no concern for wellbeing of the community, employees or even the company. In a way this behavior is parasitic. They end up destroying the host to squeeze more stock gains out of it. -

๐ฒ-alist (threalist@social.fbxl.net)'s status on Thursday, 09-Jan-2025 01:29:45 JST ๐ฒ-alist I understand the argument against tariffs, and I agree in the vacuum of economic theory, but the reality is that tariffs are used as a tool and a weapon by every country, and I find it naive at best to expect the United States to abstain while everyone else maximizes tariffs to their advantage. -

Are you suggesting that HB1 visa salaries are higher than regular salaries?
Or just that "kids these days aren't what they were when I was a kid?" -

๐ฒ-alist (threalist@social.fbxl.net)'s status on Sunday, 29-Dec-2024 01:43:40 JST ๐ฒ-alist Ah, the "Americans don't want to work" argument..
Is it possible that corporations are simply leveraging legal paths (Amazon isnt struggling to pay a few immigration lawyers) to put downward pressure on wages? -

Weak men make hard times and all that.
But history shows that the left cannot stop themselves from conjuring their boogie man, and that man is not Trump. -

๐ฒ-alist (threalist@social.fbxl.net)'s status on Wednesday, 25-Dec-2024 01:13:35 JST ๐ฒ-alist "It's interesting looking at emergent societies vs decaying societies.
It begins with strong bonds and civic duties to match and underpin their rights and belonging. By the end the bonds are severed, and people nolonger invest in the society around them.
We can actually see the "someone else will do it," in Roman ruins. The society that had rich senators build civic infrastructure, monuments, temples etc, would by the end, funnel their money inwards and build insular little walled off estates and villas that were protected by paid guards. They bemoaned the state off affairs, but it was most definitely someone else who was expected to solve it."

Not sure who this benefits other than lobbyists, politicians, and companies making money off it.. -

> The rupture of the United Methodist Church (UMC) is nearly complete. As the window closes on a temporary plan allowing disaffiliations, nearly 1 out of 4 of the denominationโs 30,000 congregations decided to split over issues of sexuality and authority. -

They really exposed themselves as people who can get away with it at the highest levels of power! Ay lmao!"In conversation from social.fbxl.net permalink -

Hopefully he has enough people around him who also won't forgetIn conversation from social.fbxl.net permalink Attachments

๐ฒ-alist (threalist@social.fbxl.net)'s status on Monday, 18-Nov-2024 22:27:54 JST ๐ฒ-alist Yeah, the question was always right there, but somehow I never stumbled to the answer.
I'd always puzzle over those commercials and wonder who runs to their doctor to ask for a drug they saw on TV?
Answer seems to be that they don't.In conversation from social.fbxl.net permalink
