Things being “illegal”.

No it’s not against the law. Just because someone can sue you doesn’t mean what you did was a crime. Just because a business can’t sell a particular product doesn’t mean it’s illegal to have. You can’t ‘get arrested’ for half the shit people think is ‘illegal’.

I love self checkout! The mega corporation saved money by not hiring people, and I save money by not paying for all of my groceries. Win win

NATIONALIZE AMAZON

Use it to fund UBI and other social causes.

If it makes you feel better, the quality of the people they attract is often on par with their own horrible personality.

Maybe start by being a better parent then, you won’t have to worry about it.

Yeah. The whole statement isn’t as accurate as they make it sound. Those bonuses aren’t going out to hardly anyone. And only a few would even qualify for that salary.

Even the basic salary is reported as not being paid as expected.

I agree with the overall idea behind this post. More money for teachers less money for the gestapo.

But let’s not misuse stats to try and make a point.

Yup. But small companies can’t pay what you need to make.

I’m in the process of being shifted to do software dev and tech for a small company because what they need is actually what you are offering. But they don’t want to pay what it costs for those things.

So instead now I have to do it as I’m the only person on payroll that knows why we shouldn’t “just use Microsoft Edge to manage our data entry”.

A few weeks ago I was forced to launch a shared script app with zero testing because the boss took one 15sec glance at the project and said “this is perfect! Ship it now!”. Joke is on them cause it only works on my laptop and I still don’t know why.

If you’ve been to downtown Seattle you know why people don’t drive there.

Decades of sales experience. Retail management during COVID price hikes.

I saw this first hand. I don’t need to read reports because I lived it.

But sure. Show me all the great companies that tried to keep prices low, to what, be nice to the consumer?

That ain’t how things work.

It’s auto applied when they inflated him in the morning.

No. They stocked up on the product BEFORE the tariff and then raised the prices to match the upcoming costs. Ask anyone in actual retail management (not middle managers but those that buy the products and set the prices).

Any company that sold their current stock at the old price was making a rookie mistake. That’s like resale 101. You can’t possibly sell products for less than what it costs to replace them. If they were doing that they don’t deserve to get any money back because they don’t understand how to use it.

You would like Andor if you haven’t tried it already.

They only have to fire a few and the rest will fall in line quickly. This is why retail workers don’t have unions.

Everyone is stuck in the consumer/labor loop. One missed check is all it takes to send you to the poverty hole. Even more challenging if you have kids.

I support general strike. But I understand why people aren’t ready to do it yet. Until starving is less scary than the alternative, it’s going to be hard for them to risk that.

It’s Thursday, 9:00 and you’re home cause you’re still unemployed.

The Venn Diagram of Trump vs Toddler is just a circle.

OMG wouldn’t that be an interesting outcome. MAGA splits from GOP, taking voters. Suddenly there is room for an actual left side party instead of whatever Dem is anymore. Would be funny if the death of Trump actually pushed us into having more political parties and some actual representation for the people.

Yeah I would love to find something better. Back in the 90s we had a book that you could look stuff up in. It was designed more as a shopping guide for groceries but it was super helpful.

Wish there was something that provided insight without cost.

www.Goodsuniteus.com is a start to seeing where your money goes. Still looking for a better alternative.

The good news is as the giant evil corporations buy up everything it gets easier to just stop buying shit in general.

this kills the erection

That would be nice

As someone who worked in the industry, I can say you often had to FIGHT to get your name in the game credits. And you were lucky if you got a copy of whatever you made, if you did it was months later (likely long after you went and bought a copy because you wanted to play with your friends).

You certainly would not get any free digital content. Maybe a shirt or baseball hat if there were any left over from the launch party (that you weren’t invited to because it’s only for upper management and investors).
