flandish

Into the hands of another gov doing (funding) genocide and oppression just the same.

This is all a case of “Corp can’t compete? Lobby to ban.”

This is bog standard capitalism.

They won’t start listening until we remind them in ways they can actually relate to.

All this situation reads to me is “US corps can’t compete, China ‘won’ that fight so now US corps have to pretend it’s a security risk and get it banned.”

There are other chinese apps. This doesn’t ban them.

It’s also snuck into an aid bill. A completely reprehensible act if ever there was one.

In the context of your point:

Leaving your primary home empty because you visited a grocery store is not the same as leaving your 2nd (physically unnecessary) home empty except for 4 weeks a summer.

Housing should be a right.

Hoarding it should be criminal.

>do politics and refuse to take responsibility

This is just normal capitalist logic. This is how all corporations would do it if able. See also: 2008’s banking “crisis” among others. None of this is a surprise and pretending it is just enables others to do the same; all while harming the working class and local communities in the name of financial safety for the owners.

I loved those days. (Was Suddenly Ninjas myself, here)

Great work!

…I’m ok with a classless, stateless, moneyless, communist society. This does not worry me.

What other system? Capitalism has camps and mass graves.

The other system has never been implemented. You know this.

> Saving money is the prime directive

This is what makes all of capitalism deplorable - and sometimes criminal.

When people are hurt - even knowingly - the owners need to be held to task.

Like I said - all it will take is once.

Below a certain holding quantity, fine the shareholders.

I didn’t say it was simple.

Capitalism has destroyed more lives than it’s really worth. If it wants to keep existing its capital owners should be held responsible.

>pro rata

Yes. Yes you do. You set a minimum then fine below that minimum.

Exactly why I have been calling for all shareholders to be held criminally responsible.

Easy:

If this is proven to be a criminal act, even of criminal negligence, charge not only the people making decisions, the board members, but also shareholders, relative to their holdings. Including grouped stocks such as funds.

All it will take is once for this to happen and shareholders to actually think about the repercussions of “investing” in corporations that do this kind of thing.

* all the years capitalism has existed. This is bog-standard capitalist formula. Profit over people. Worker and customer and public alike.

How? Is that sarcastic?

Allowing colleges to profit is the problem. Clearly they care more about roi than education.

If a college gets any federal taxpayer funds in any way, they should not be allowed to profit. At all.

If my employer wants me “on call” and accessable, they can either:

A) provide a phone. B) pay for part of my personal bill; but no MDM allowed. C) be ok with me not always being available. I enter the job like this. I state I am also a firefighter, if I don’t answer, I’m involved. Managers can manage.

I fucking hate capitalism.

Where was this his choice?

No. Jail even folks buying ten shares on robinhood.

Let’s make it not ok to invest in corporations committing crime.

> again

We are still “in” one, in all seriousness.

Spot on prediction. We need to start pushing for jail for these people running (and owning) these businesses with such carelessness.

- yes. I mean all owners. Shareholders too. All it would take is once for shareholders to get slapped with prison relative to shares owned for this sh*t to stop.

Until someone else’s pod is on the sidewalk and the cops think it’s in your house and swat you.

The problem is the police. Any conversation otherwise just simps for a police / military state that will, eventually, get you, too.

A carjacking does not require swatting a house to pieces. Stop defending the police - they only exist to issue reminders to the public in the form of fear and sometimes death.

We already have constitutional due process. Let’s use that instead of pretending we’re in country on deployment and fighting terrorists because we never got to murder anyone when we joined the national guard at 18.

Just more marketing for a bubble. Can we stop with the AI nonsense? It’s as annoying as NFTs were.

Exactly. Safety is in the financial context not the human. Similar to the phrase “human resources”.

I agree, though some of the examples will likely bubble up to authorities in ways similar to simply googling regarding certain subjects.

I wonder how long it will take for the fix turn arounds. Interesting bit of meta data.

Agreed.

I find I work best seeing a calendar with expenses on each upcoming date and the predicted acct balances. Have yet to find an open source replacement to this feature that Pocketsmith provides. I know I spent on junk, but I feel comfortable when I can predict it 3+ months in advance.

No, it’s caused by capitalism’s “profit over people” design.

The problem is capitalism and greed. Entirely.
