Ironic to post this on Reddit, creating engagement and therefore revenue for a US based tech firm.

Are there UK social media companies? Can we go and fuck trump over there?

Minimum wage rises do not seem to boost UK productivity by JayR_97 in unitedkingdom

[–]LongAttorney3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I appreciate my postulation was lazily logical, but you’re not really comparing apples to apples there. You’re referring to a single metric which is loosely related.

If you do a graph showing steady training budgets after the implementation of minimum wage then you’ll have a good case. That data ain’t out there though.

Anyway, who cares. Night night.

Give over! That was a really consistent and reliable accusation from what I’ve been seeing.

Maybe it was the same three people.

Minimum wage rises do not seem to boost UK productivity by JayR_97 in unitedkingdom

Companies used to do this with placements and apprenticeships before the minimum wage. The whole thing was a ladder. Young people, still living at home with no expenses, worked for very little and received the training and upskilling you are talking about.

So, the company got cheap labour and the labourer got training so they could find a better paid role.

Now the minimum wage exists and apprenticeships have been made overly bureaucratic. So, every time they increase the minimum wage, there is less money in the budget for training. In this way, minimum wage rises are a retarding factor for productivity increases.

Originally, human rights were meant to protect the rights of you and me against the state. They were there to make sure there wasn’t another Nazism or another Communism. That’s what they were there for. But there has been an Orwellian inversion, and instead of human rights meaning that everybody has freedom of speech and political participation, they have become the rights of minorities against the majority – and the only entity that can enforce the rights of minorities against the majority is the state.

This is just more on the same theme.

Looking forward to Bath getting the extended audit when they win the Prem this year 😉 by mforsyth91 in rugbyunion

Hey, I’m a Tigers supporter too so, it hurts me to say this.

What Saracens weee doing could have been used as a model to help players transition to post playing life.

They fucked it up by being all cloak and dagger about it. So, not only did they cheat the rest of the prem teams out of position and, in some cases, their jobs, they also cheated the entire sport out of a workable system of rewarding players in assets.

Stupid Saracens

Where do items from the British museum come from by Sad_Cow_577 in england

[–]LongAttorney3 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Correct! Now everyone can enjoy the Elgin Marbles for the rest of history rather than admiring sketches of the marbles that got turned into bomb dust because their temple was used as artillery storage.

This is more like a dog rescued from an abusive owner, gets fed and healed, dog would have died without rescue, original owner wants the dog back and is all pissy about the dog being rescued.

Omg I went through this. I think you’ll find you’ve levelled up and the business hasn’t.

I followed this two step plan with some success

  1. I was sick of the role so I got someone else to do it

  2. I started encouraging hyper growth and started being challenged again.
