I imagine sad, regretful brits dining/vacationing are a boon to the economy.

well put

it’s that voice in the back that’s always there, but waits for a quiet moment to suggest crazy shit. I liken it to very very mild, controlled tourette’s - random impulses that shouldn’t even raise to the level of conscious thought but for whatever reason slip through the ‘noise’ filter.

Shows Tesla doesn’t have any clue how the labour market work.

They’ve got their own problems here in the US but lax government oversight and weak state rules for labor organization hinder their ability to hold tesla liable for the nooses and robots-crushing-employees and molds exploding and other horrors.

It’s also hard to hold Tesla accountable in the public square when they “don’t have a public relations department” and shit like Musk’s poop-emoji replies to the press.

the sword is double edged, the ones you neglect will come to you when it gets bad.

you have to admit this is one hell of an edge case. the vast majority don’t have your sister’s ‘problem’

as long as you know you’re still hanging out at the nazi bar, I guess there’s no further discussion.

Fuck Spez, Fuck Musk too. Lemmy’s better now than reddit ever was.

Capitalism with the unionization rate of that time would be much better than what we have today.

True. And the taxes: Eisenhower individual income above $200,000 was taxed at 90%, above $300,000 at 91%, and above $400,000 at 92%. That’d trim Musk Bezos etc. down to size, fund education, fund social security etc.

Corporate taxes topped out at 52% - the tax rate was 30% for the first $25,000 in profits that a company made, and 52% for anything over that amount.

Even with inflation taken into account - $300,000 in 1950 = $3,772,843.22 in 2023… entire generations have been robbed by the right wing.

signal soldier I see.

poorly, maybe.

there are words and phrases which could indicate that which they chose not to use, so clearly? really?

I don’t believe in a higher power but recognize this discussion. Hell I’m still farting off taco tuesday.
