It’s not a bribe. It’s a gratuity paid after the service is provided when the electee or appointee leaves office, which is totally palatable and sustainable in a failed democracy.
You have to drink a lot to become inverted.
They don’t mind being the pigs, their only driver is to jot be the other animals who suffered with someone else in power.
The Bible has a passage about how men should noy lie with animals. Beastiality should be in libraries?
No and in a classic capitalist paradise, in the US state DOLs/BOLIs have emergency funds out of which they pay workers wages. For the capitalists who couldn’t. Privatize the gains, socialize the losses. Learned about that when a regional Thai restaurant chain went under, declared bankruptcy and then the state paid their workers. So messed up. Such a great reason to get corporate shielding so your “personal” gains aren’t subject to clawback.
Corporate law has to change, but unlikely as things are.
One of the few good legal standards around bankruptcy is that unpaid wages to workers are actually, surprisingly paid out of assets prior to investors getting their cut.
If you go a few levels deeper into minimum wages, tip laws, tax loopholes explanations as to why the world looks the way it does for all kinds of businesses.
Oregon has no sales tax so some beautiful Columbia riverfront property in Portland is a massive shopping complex built in the 60s so Washingtonians across the river can drive over and buy “tax free”, though I’m sure any benefits were long ago mostly neutered by retailers.
Ornithologists for those looking for the word, which I confused for a long time with opthalmology.
Unemployment insurance payouts are at or below poverty level at best, short in duration (normally 12-24 weeks at most) despite complete wildcard on how long finding a job may take, and aggressively restricted or even denied in many states(remember Republican controlled states refused free federal funding to bolster their unemployment payouts because they wanted people back working during a global pandemic without a vaccine at that point).
Unions and organizing and employees thinking of organizing are aggressively and illegally attacked, discriminated and retaliated against while the enforcement mechanisms to hold powerful companies to law are so underfunded the laws nearly don’t exist
OSHA, FLSA and other cornerstone pieces of workplace law are so routinely broken and have been by so long and enforcement so underfunded and penalties so trivial the laws don’t exist in practice. Injuries at work, minimum wage, overtime are so commonly violated, suing through the courts has been the only recourse for employees. With the court system now captured, even that menial disincentive is gone for companies to comply.
Companies systematically underpay and are able to collude on wages thanks to market salary tools to suppress wages. Switching companies is the only way to get a raise.
A little less prosecution a little corruption please
All this misdirection is satisfactionin’ me
A little less bite and a lot more dark
A lot less right just to serve the sharks
Close your mouth, evil off the chart baby pacify me
pacify me, baby
Sure, the apps are recording all of that, my question is around my TV
Inflation is largely not a problem, corporate price gouging accounts for the bulk of increases. Price gouging increases are an enormous fucking problem for people. Calling it inflation is their script, don’t adopt their language.
Consolidation or competitors that has been allowed almost unabated the last 25 years exacerbates the effects.
I Chromecast content from my computer and phone.
If I don’t watch/stream stuff otherwise, and my TV isn’t connected to anything else I’m aware of, is my data being exfiltrated? It’s a Sony from ~2015
… I’ve also heard of some brands (that I don’t remember atm) that won’t even let you go through the initial setup without a connection.
/Microsoft announced new foray into TVs…
Grew up on retro console and then fully grew with PC ging as it grew and matured in the 90s. Tried Halo once in 2003 and the graphics and gameplay for death match were so consummately uncreative I pitied console gamers ever since.
