It Happens All The Time
  • Legit saw a comment that was removed from memes.ml for incivility that questioned the accuracy of a meme suggesting suicides were lower in China and North Korea compared to Taiwan and South Korea because they’re “communist”. It was very civil. The mods just didnt like being questioned I guess.

  • Why are many businesses in democratic nations largely undemocratic?
  • No, they are not. The USSR and China (only in theory) had/has public ownership and it is quite different than the workers comtrooling their business.

    When the public owns the means of production you open up the likelihood of the state directly oppressing the workers as happened in the USSR and China.

  • Gov. Hochul says she won't remove NYC Mayor Adams from office
  • As I have told you he has to have the right to defend himself against the charges. He never faced a trial so he never has had an opportunity to defend himself.

    I hate Mayor Adams. I wanted him sacked when he hired his brother to a job said brother was unqualified for in his first few days but there is a process to remove him and none of those steps have been met other than presenting the charge.

  • Why are many businesses in democratic nations largely undemocratic?
  • Yeah that's not as common as people who have never run or managed a company or budget think.

    The reality is your maintenance staff isn't going to have the skill set to make rational judgements outside their expertise.

  • Why are many businesses in democratic nations largely undemocratic?
  • There isn’t an inherent value to making all businesses democratic because very often most workers have no idea how the larger company works as a whole.

    I work for an import company. My union warehouse steward is constantly judging the financial health of the company based on the volume of boxes he is shipping. The problem is he has no idea the relative value of those boxes so while he’s bemoaning we sent out 1/4 of the number of boxes on Tuesday that we sent out on Monday he’s missing that the total value of Monday’s sales were 3x Tuesdays. In 5 years of working with the guy he has never wrapped his brain around this. Our company would be much worse off if he had a say in how it works because he simply cannot see the larger picture as those skills were never developed. This is not uncommon and I myself have been the guy who cant see that larger picture in other roles.

    Should the janitorial staff have equal says as to the executives in how funds should be allocated? Do we recognize that not everyone has the same skill set and level of skill as others?

  • Why are many businesses in democratic nations largely undemocratic?
  • Do they need to be public property or do they need to be in the hands of those working there? I’d be more inclined towards the latter as in most cases the public as a whole is not going to have an informed or educated perspective on how specific jobs/roles/companies should behave.

  • Gov. Hochul says she won't remove NYC Mayor Adams from office
  • The thing is if you want to maintain rule of law then you need to follow those rules. You can’t just decide to ignore it when you want to but then pretend you have any legitimacy. That would make you no different than any other dictator.

  • Gov. Hochul says she won't remove NYC Mayor Adams from office
  • Do you think rule of law should only be maintained when both of the two major parties supports it?

    Do you think Hochul is going to win reelection? Do you think she will never be replaced? The precedent is for the NY governors that follow her. Wasn't that obvious?

  • Education Department “Lifting the Pause” on Some Civil Rights Probes, but Not for Race or Gender Cases.
  • There are actual expectations of what you should believe as dictated by the texts some of which are very clear. If you are against clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, or tending to the sick you are overtly working against the path Jesus sets in the NT.

    Perhaps it is more accurate to say these people are falsely claiming their faith as the motivation for their bigotry.
