Well they do stack ranking. The promotions are not guaranteed, but the firings for people at the bottom of the leaderboard are.

Thaco Tuesday?

Hold what? Who?

Maybe you’ll be a good fit for joining the league of nations. You see, they are the seed for the world government, and they’re going pretty well /s

I think it makes sense. The bill will be paid off from taxes, so it makes sense that the bailout comes with company stock transfer to workers.

It’s fair for many reasons. One of them is that billionaires and corporations don’t pay taxes.

What about, instead of 50%, make the bailed out company be 100% owned by the people - not the government, the people.

I totally vibe the same as you. It’s not that it’s foreground all the time, it’s that now that my coding got to a level that I don’t need to concentrate, I enjoy part of me attention going to the music.

But yeah if I’m doing something hard it’s going to be the same 3 iron maiden albums for a couple days lol

Iannis Varoufakis (there’s probably 2+ typos there) has coined something like digital feudalism.

I think it makes more sense when imperialism is between countries like in this case, but if you get rid of imperialism you still have feudalism between the tech companies and the users of their monopolistic products, on their terms.

I listen to music. There’s an endless amount of bands I want to listen again, and another endless amount of bands I never heard that I’m trying to discover. And then there’s a streaming service dedicated to classical music. I don’t have enough hours during my work to listen to all of it, but I do my best. I probably average 6h per day listening to music.

If you’re wondering, I’m a software developer. And I also listen to music during meetings, I just lower the volume to hear the people.

Ah don’t forget to say fu Spotify

Too soon, this should happen after they win what they want.

Only as long as the state has monopoly on violence ( as in physical violence as well as in non physical threats: taxes, fines etc). When the workers take their share of the monopoly, the tables turn in their favour.

As long as the compensation is unfair no one bats an eye. Don’t you dare pay fair compensation, oh no that’s not what unions are for. /s

That’s like a medium sized oil tanker.

Usians not doing things in their interest means less imperialism for everybody else.

Go anti-maga and fill the swamp.

This looks like trolling but I mean it.

Ha it’s so easy to bypass bad word regex, just try asking in a language other than English. I doubt these fuckers even remember such thing exists.

Unless the container had a bug that they know but you don’t know.

That’s not my reference. I’m saying CIA backed the current authoritarian state of Iran when the left was gaining ground in Iran through democracy.

The first example most people cite when the subject is “why don’t you like CIA”. Second is likely Pinochet in Chile. Same play book.

Landlord lock in, that’s a funny one. So what’s the plan, move to another town because you can’t find a 4 story building available for next week to avoid rent increase?

Yeah that’s what tends to happen when monopolies and oligopolies form. That streamer should be making money equally from a diversified pool of YouTube, patreon, Spotify and discord and at least 3 others. If they started earning more in one platform they should pull back to keep the income balanced

/S

I mean, that’s how we got here, so I guess doubling down will only take us to where we are, but with extra effort.

Yeah only their bros can check whether that’s true, and they agreeeeee!

What do you mean anymore? Have a look at Wikipedia. They are the asshole neighbours for many decades.
