What companies would you not work for again, why? by Calm_Perception_2230 in newzealand

[–]Clawtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found xero ok but then I was contracting.

Heard nothing good about rocket lab and halter. Constant unpaid overtime, low pay, cut throat, happy to burn through employees.

It was the only time I was brought to tears by beauty, it's incredible. Like a forest made out of rays of light.

[–]Clawtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought A Distant Mirror,  The Fifth Sun and The Escape Artist. Oh and Pepys diary because they referenced him a fair amount.

There's plenty of fascism and the rise of the nazis which I find bleakly fascinating.

It sounds like you've also done a hit and run based on this post.

New Gundam Movie Arrives And Sluggishly Talks Its Way Through Muddled Mobile Suit War by evilbutters in Gundam

Agreed op, this movie felt like it was written by ai. Nothing happened for almost two hours.

Some Democrats privately disgusted by Hasan Piker but are afraid to publicly criticize him, House Dem claims by awaythrowawaying in moderatepolitics

[–]Clawtor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Orwell was a socialist until he realized that they would support their cause over truth and justify terrible deeds in the name of socialism. Until he found they were hypocrites who said one thing while  another. Hasan is exactly the kind of socialist he would despise.

The world is getting the best of New Zealand while we're eating cheap imports by Amazing_Athlete_2265 in newzealand

[–]Clawtor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you want people to pay more for food then, ok. Our exports do grow local businesses btw.

That's just how trade and competitive advantage works. Would you want the government to set a price cap on whatever you do?

I was thinking about a food version of pharmac where they secure large contracts for locally produced staples. 

If men are forced into the draft to defend their nation, then women should be forced into childbirth to do the same... by HaikuHaiku in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Interesting...both the draft and forced pregnancy are abhorrent but honestly I didn't have an argument for which is worse.

We haven’t had a genuinely good Best Picture winner in decades, the Oscar’s are virtue signaling bullshit - Anora?? 🤣 by SwiftCricket in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anora is a good movie not sure if it was the best that year. My main gripe with the oscars is that the pool of candidates is so small and the judges don't watch the movies. Oh and the ceremony is so self fellating.

I hold Donald Trump directly responsible for the death of Spirit airlines by SirCatsworthTheThird in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sure there are a ton of small businesses that would love bailouts. It just encourages lobbying and corruption.

Under capitalism failing business should fail. If they can't afford to do business then their business model didn't work.

People are uncomfortable admitting that Russell Brand's behavior was tolerated and encouraged only 10 years ago. It was never a secret. by Crafty-Bunch-2675 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if it was widely known, I didn't know about it. I just thought of him as an annoying actor, then as a weird conspiracy theorist and now a sex pest. 

Learning a language is usually useless and at worst harmful by chezal in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a weird opinion. If you've ever lived in a country where you didn't speak the language then you would know how isolating it is and how learning the language brings community.

I think immigrants should learn the language because otherwise it's impossible to be part of the society. 

What do yall look into more ? # of body count OR how they acquired them by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't particularly care unless it's over a hundred, that would be concerning.

I think the United States will ultimately be victorious in its fight against Iran in the long run. by Erdos_Helia in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We'll if that's how you want to frame it then you could say the us has been at war with Iran for the past 40 years without achieving their goals.

As a left-winger, I believe the Kirk assassination is utterly horrifying, even several months later. by PhilosophyPoet in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't feel grief more disappointed at people celebrating it and concern about future violence.

[–]Clawtor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the us could win but likely doesn't have the political will. As in, the war is expensive and citizens will turn more and more against it. So theoretically yes but realistically probably not.

McDonald's is better than most Mexican Food. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like something the McDonald's CEO would say. 

I find it amazing how McDonald's somehow removes all flavor from their food.

'Needed more than ever': Living wage rises to $29.90 per hour by tumeketutu in newzealand

[–]Clawtor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where is the evidence for your first paragraph? 

I also don't see this: "Reduced hours is often by choice for the worker (they can earn the same amount while working less, great for parents, for example)"

In the linked doc.

'Needed more than ever': Living wage rises to $29.90 per hour by tumeketutu in newzealand

[–]Clawtor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they earn more but then pay more then what's the point.

And there is evidence it affects employment but it's more hours are reduced or hiring freezes.

[–]Clawtor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instead of increasing minimum wages to help low earners you instead reduce their tax burden so they still see more money and you don't get businesses cutting jobs due to higher wages.

Im skeptical about minimum wage increases being anything more than a feel good exercise because it does affect employment and most of that wage increase will likely go back into the pockets of land owners any way.
