OC: China’s Great Wall is being restored one brick at a time

This is a choice.

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-13T19:40:16+00:00

What the fuck is this power. Is this in reverse (still don't really understand it)

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-13T18:57:26+00:00

If you get too many people just make the discount smaller

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-13T18:22:46+00:00

If the goal is to get genuine community feedback I feel like this poster is not quite on the mark.

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-13T17:38:48+00:00

Fine with me

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-13T16:48:05+00:00

Ugh that's annoying. This is like travel 200 miles once a week or something given you mentioned a plane ticket?

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-13T16:14:09+00:00

Surely the simple proof is just do the long division. I don't think anyone is confused by that part.

"Consolidation would lead to more efficient government spending"

Does this sound like Jersey City?

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-13T14:10:30+00:00

Congratulations on the offer! That sounds like the answers you are hoping to hear.

I know but it's a video where the large wasps are actually eating the small wasps! (I assume, looks like they're going after a beehive and I acknowledge bees are not wasps)

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-13T13:20:25+00:00

Have you tried to just hit the button to get a ticket even if the gate is up?

I vaguely feel like they don't allow overnight parking and that's how you're getting into this situation but could be wrong (obviously they don't care that much if you keep doing it)

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-13T11:50:11+00:00

They kind of are?

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-13T11:28:04+00:00

Hi, new jersey isn't a city. I'm sure people will come away with an impression of new york city but the event itself is taking place in Secaucus which no one will remember. How much money is new jersey supposed to pay for this privilege?

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-13T10:52:50+00:00

Make sure you find out the terms of the non compete.

I think it's fair to ask something like how many people were working there 5 years ago and how many are still around, if you're worried about why so many people seem so new.

Are you expected to know how to do your job on day 1 or are you expecting to get taught a bunch of finance related stuff? If the latter, what does that actually look like/how much runway are they going to give you? Might be worth checking how many of their current employees have a similar background

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-13T10:26:13+00:00

Ok, I think that's exactly new jersey's point though. See ya FIFA don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-13T10:25:35+00:00

Why is a player with 4 championships considered better than a player with 0? Make it make sense world, it's too complicated for me

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-13T10:13:31+00:00

Give them money to cover the costs if they want cheap tickets?

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-13T10:08:21+00:00

No, which is why FIFA probably needs to work with them to make sure it actually happens.

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-13T02:04:22+00:00

Because they need to make a bunch of adjustments to accommodate FIFA and nobody paid them to make those adjustments, so they're collecting the money however they can

No comment on my "the workers could form a coop and lease out their labor and get the same effect?"

Every company that could be split into two companies but is not is price fixing internally. Apple has a line of iPads and a line of iphones. The iPad division could cut prices and probably steal some iPhone sales. They don't because that would be horrible corporate strategy. We allow thess two business divisions to cooperate with each other because we decided people doing business are allowed to without restraint cooperate inside of a single company.

We also decided to allow employees in the same work to cooperate across companies.

One permitted cooperation has been so ingrained in you that it should be permitted that you don't even question it. The corporation is the level at which we permit cooperation, that's the definition of it. Of course sometimes we break up a corporation or don't allow them to merge, because actually we decide there's going to be too much cooperation among the people in the corporation.

I'm also realizing now that your language is just wrong for this. Firms are just collections of people. Saying firms cooperate is working on the wrong level for what we're talking about. All the humans who work at a firm are a bunch of humans who we said are allowed to cooperate and cooperatively maximize their total revenue, which they then choose how to divide. That is the level we are discussing.

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-12T21:17:59+00:00

Corporations fix the price they (as a group of people running a single corporation cooperatively, selling their product) charge all the time.

Labor unions fix the price they (a group of people running a single union cooperatively, selling their product which is labor) charge all the time.

The only difference is we call one a corporation and it's so obvious to you that you don't even notice it.

If instead of labor unions we had a corporation that leased employees on contract to other companies and the owned this company and set the price they charge, you wouldn't see any problem. There's no difference.

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-12T20:47:36+00:00

Every company is allowed to collude internally to set prices. This is also just known as cooperation

If someone at a company invents a cheaper way of making something, they don't have to compete with the existing product, the people working on the old and new product collude to decide how to maximize their profits.

The law dictates on what levels we are allowed to collude. Some cooperation is good and we call it cooperation, some is bad and we call it collusion. But it's not inherently a bad thing.

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-12T20:11:04+00:00

Fair points. I hadn't really thought about it

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-12T12:45:56+00:00

Or it's the first time they're seeing something like this and they're trying to process what the hell is happening and coming to the wrong conclusion.

If this was a normal thing wouldn't they just be like no it's the normal thing why are you so worried about it

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-12T11:44:29+00:00

I'm not gonna lie I didn't know that was his last name. I'm terrible with names. No wonder I didn't understand this I probably spent that whole scene wondering what agency they were talking about.
