With an exception carved out for Tesla, I'm sure.
In the same vein, all the techbros who voted for Trump are gonna be real asshurt once immigration exemptions are made for tech workers
Like silicon valley is gonna be forced to pay market rate for American talent, pffh, c'mon now. Wages are like prices but the opposite. Prices always go up and never back down. Wages always come down and never go back up. Tech workers enshittification will commence at triple pace now
Every single comment here is describing symptoms but not the cause.
Enshitification is the evolution to the final form, only possible after the company, thru merger/acquisition or stock manipulation (leveraged buy outs, acquiring controlling stake, shorting a company into insolvency, etc), has achieved a commanding monopoly.
Then it flexes it's monopoly powers, the buttons fly off its shirt and the monster shows it's true colors.
We have laws to prevent this. Lina Khan is the first FTC chair to start holding these companies to meaningful account in my lifetime (yea, Microsoft/netscape is exponentially smaller than todays issues). Meta, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon all need to be broken up into a thousand different companies, same as we did with AT&T. Uber, Angieslist, homeaglow, all the contractors pretending they're just networking hubs (like some union hall) need to busted up and gigwork made to contend with employment law, which it can't, because it's all bad faith exploitation.
And for fucks sake we need to make the fine for white collar crime that extends state lines to necessitate the forfeiture of the entire C-suite's and board of directors assets, both domestically and internationally, upon threat of seal team 6. Empty their bank accounts and leave them with nothing, like they regularly do to employees. They're so fucking smart they can earn it all again, right? Right!? Corporations are the largest thief in the land, just in WAGE THEFT. Everything else they do that's slimy is all BONUS. The 2nd largest thief in all the land? the fucking Police force. The lunatics have taken over the asylum, democracy doesn't work in mental institutions. We don't need to defund the police, we need to fire all of them and start over with transparency. If casino employees can be video taped all day, so can cops. Fuck em.
What America truly needs is another Teddy Roosevelt. We need to revive the Progressive party with the Bull Moose as the symbol. Protect the environment, protect the family by protecting the workers, end legal loopholes and trustbust the 1% back down into the 10%.
And if we don't? The path ahead is obvious, I for one, don't want to live in Blade Runner, but that's where we're going until we stop fucking around and right ship.
In my mind, if a company wants to set a generalized education requirement, above high school, that company should be required to pay off its employees student loans. Otherwise it's using the education system as a subsidized training program.
Note I said generalized. Engineers, doctors, etc who desire to ever be employed can't stop at a bachelor's anyways. Even still, their employees should have to pick up their training tab.
Business has gotten a free pass for 40 years and look at the society they've created with it. Maybe civilization needs more than a love of money to sustain it. Crazy huh.
The system is written and set up by guys like him.
It doesn't change itself. Voting won't make it change itself either.
We're either going to have to grind everything to halt or grind everything to dust. Those are the only two options left to us.
It was over 8 years ago that begged a foreign power for espionage help while running for pres. On live TV. He should have been locked up then.
The correct answer is
Fuck Pavlov
Motherfucker is like the Hitler of dogs. It's a shame his name is remembered for the conditioning and not the mutilation. Dude was a monster.
Klanned Karenhood!
No one says CEOs and thinks of the self employed plumber or drywaller. Or even the guy who owns 3 carwashes. Small business isnt, and has never been, in the crosshairs here.
But beyond that, we need to normalize rating companies, large and small, by how many of their employees bought houses each year and what percentage of their staff is on track for retirement.
Stop giving companies a free pass, they have a social obligation and they're breaking it.
We all have seen video of people watching a tragedy unfold and everyone just has their phones out recording, no one even calling for help, and then [STRAWMAN] dies. Everyone is horrified watching it, and rightly so, when anyone one of them could've helped.
It's the exact same thing with business. If ~ looks around ~ yep, ALL of us are falling behind, we have to hold business' feet to the fire. The C-Suite needs to remember that just cuz the law might protect them from liability due to corporate privilege, that doesn't mean that the people will.
Same with share-holders. Especially with shareholders.
Cuz sooner rather than later, some cleaners gonna come round and take out the trash, if ya feel me.
Wait til they got told Mexico is in America, they're gonna lose their shit.
Like the USA owns the continent, pffh.
The abbreviation for the US, due to what I think are dumb syntax rules in Spanish, is E.E.U.U.
For reals. I know, right?
But wait there's more! Mexicos official name is the United States of Mexico, or Estados Unidos de México in Spanglish.
And also in Spanish, I think
We toppled Saddam because he wanted to ditch the dollar. I don't think this fuckstick or Elon Marshmallow man have the same level entourage.
All the Russian oligarchs what is like to have all your assets seized, and just me tell ya, Id suffocate from laughter before I ever gave one fuck about the obscenely rich.
I'm ready to Make America Great Again, by taxing any and all assets over 10million, annually, at 75%. The squeaky wheel gets it raised to 85% Back in the oft romanticized golden days the upper tax rate was 90%
Maybe I'm alone in this opinion but I don't think someone should be able to have one idea that sells and then never have to work again. Like, if we all worked 4 hrs a week then fine, but nowadays, with modern tax chattle slavery? Naw man. Edison, Tesla, those guys had to keep inventing. Mr Mypillow can go die under an overpass.
Fuck billionaires. We need a special forces team for the IRS, they can jump from helicopters with their calculator's ribbon.
All across Europe McDs workers make 20-25/hr and their food costs LESS than ours.
Google the Big Mac index and see for yourself.
Adam was touring his comedy set recently, outside Ticketmaster, which is next to impossible to do.
I got mad respect for the guy, actually practices what he preaches.
When he goes back on tour; if you see a show in a town you know people, help spread the word for him, since he's doing it all homegrown.
China has publicly included the loss of Manchuria to Russia in like 1905~ to be part of it's great century of shame and that China considers it part of Greater China.
Expanding North beyond that into Siberia would open up the arctic ocean to them, which if nobody does anything, will only get more valuable as we heat up
