my question in particular is why aren't all votes considered equal in UN on any matter in general? It's so petty of US, the most powerful empire in the history of planet to put emb…

How is this voting system is fair if US can just go "naah..we don't like it" after everyone else has voted yes?

To be blunt, if reimbursing your employees for better working environment makes your business non-feasible then your business is based on exploiting workers and does not deserve to…

I just installed KDE Plasma+Wayland today on mint Linux. Working great so far, although I’m not noticing a large difference in performance, maybe my specs are good and load is ligh…

It’s funny how people are focused on “deterring china” than fixing problems at home. For a developed country our labor protections are poor, public transport is laughable and unive…

I think they are motivated by their urge to micromanage and nothing else. It’s a fallacy to think the “great leaders” are infallible. The last couple of years is a proof that these…

I have a twitch chat bot which has a subscription model and has some niche services for a specific game. It uses some aws services and is tied to a twitch account. I want turn it i…

I was being more charitable to Elon by trusting what he said himself. I know the $28k number. Almost 40% of the households with college age kids earn less than 70k before taxes. Ho…

Taking a loan is not the same as able to afford it. 40% of the households with college aged kids earn less than 74k. https://www.statista.com/statistics/782411/parental-income-o...…

"having your parents pay for your education is hardly a rare circumstance" - What is your source for this? Why do you think the President wanted to forgive student loan if paying f…

Because he said it himself? Why else would anyone come up with such specific source of income? Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20140413112637/https://www.askme... His dad inves…

Makes so much sense. What do we even get after working like robot for 30 years? We don't have retirement benefits, we would've barely paid for a house if we could afford one. All t…

It's interesting that this is happening when market is being consolidated in the hands of a handful of monopolies.

Same logic does not apply to the upper management because they are not directly involved in generating value for the company. Elon Musk is not out there writing code, Tim Cook is n…

It's relevant because it proves that majority of the workers are competent. If you are not able to succeed with a competent workforce then you're just a bad CEO/leader and should s…

"Goodbyes are always hard, especially when I'm the one saying goodbye. Today effective immediately I Gavin Belson, Founder & CEO of Hooly, am forced to officially say goodbye....to…

Why do you think the workforce who generated record profits for Intel only a couple years back are suddenly "unneeded"? That's just reflects the dumb decisions made by the leadersh…

I think the journalist is bang on point. The company can pay $1.5B in dividends but cannot pay enough to keep their workforce. Corps will do everything to avoid paying their workfo…

Police most often serves the capital owners through the politicians funded by capital owners. The farmers protest in India was a good example of this. Police tried to barricade, be…

Not that different from American police. They also work with less toys and much less salaries than American police.

"people who never lived under commie regime" - I get to hear this so often. We live in under a capitalist regime where 1% of the people own the rest of the population. Basic human …

The question was whether communism meant equal outcome and the answer is No. I’m not gonna defend Romania, Soviet Russia or any other old regimes on how they implemented communism.…

You are wrong, communism was never about equality of outcome, it was more about equality of opportunity. This is part of red scare propaganda. Also US had a lot to do with Cuba and…

One has to wonder whether these decisions are based on logic or on what Wall Street(investors) demands. Now is a high time for unionization among software devs irrespective of thei…
