And if you own a house that is being flooded, just sell the flooded house and move you fucking idiot.

Atheism just means that you have yet to find a reason to believe in God or some higher power. It is not a belief system, it is a lack of reason to believe in any belief system.

Mechanics make very good money with ups because of the union. This specific negotiation was for part time workers and drivers, negotiating higher base pay for all part timers and drivers, AC in drivers trucks, and better benefits.

The contract for mechanics and pilots will largely remain the same because again, these are some of the more lucrative jobs at ups.

The union ceases to exist without the companies that have unionized. What you are saying is antithetical to the idea and nature of a union.

The CEO of ups made $19 million last year. I think they can afford to pay her less and their actual workers more.

In the US we take like four to six years of Spanish and walk away with "donde estas la biblioteca" and "donde esta el baño."

Ah yes, the great American Bengal tiger. Our symbol of obedience and power. A cultural cornerstone you might say.

Hell I took the j&j vaccine right around when it was released to the public and I'm still kicking. Doctor says I'm healthy and everything.

But I'm also a paid actor and I'm lying and I actually grew a third arm that only reacts to the soundtrack from the Scott Pilgrim movie so take this with a grain of salt.

Yes the world would be a better place if people looking to profit in the world didn't have to ensure that their products were safe, regulated, and taxed appropriately. Business owners should just be able to make their own rules.

Nah man I'd say that shit it stupid too. It's difficult to build a lithium mine in the United States for pretty good reasons, especially surrounding regulation and safety.

Capitalism necessitates that the product and the profit are always the most important thing. We'll never really get rid of this issue until we remove the profit motive, and we'll never really see the full view of capitalism without accepting that these corporations don't care about their workers or their customer base at all. They never will, because that doesn't impact profit. They will feign empathy and sincerity until they have met their quarterly profit goal, and the public will clap and say "wow, finally somebody fights for us!" And continue to consume.

There is a carpet store and restaurant near my house, and in the three years I've lived here I can't recall seeing anyone buy anything or even visit either store a single time.

Once my partner and I actually walked over to check it out and the carpet store was closed and all of the windows were covered. It was like 4 in the afternoon on a Wednesday, so I can't imagine why it would be closed.

There's supposedly a lot of Russian gang activity in my area, so I'm assuming it's just a front for them but I've never really confirmed it.

You mean Americans are finding out that there is no meritocracy? Go fucking figure
