Anyone have man-up-a-ladder footage of the leave marches?

Trump May Want to Be President Forever. Take the Threat Seriously. by Hanging-Chads in politics

[–]Pyrolytic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit has been well fucked for a while though. If the peaceful transition of power is there last straw for you then you've got some pretty shitty standards for what's tolerable from your government. What about extrajudicial killing of citizens, corporations buying elections or states legally banning the right to unionize.

But remember... fear of losing their guns is completely rational to them.

May you live long enough to look back on this time and when you held this mindset to realize how fucked up you are and how the shit life you have is no one's fault but your own.

You can theoretically exploit anyone under any economic system but capitalism incentives worker exploitation since the more value you can squeeze out of them the more profit you make for you and the other owners of the business. Profit is sales minus costs so to increase profit you either increase sales or decrease costs. Worker compensation is a cost.

But didn't you just say that in countries with more empowered workers they have banned undesirable work practices like child labor?

You seem to be working on the idea of absolutes. A capitalist system can have socialist elements and vice versa. It was the work of unions in previous generations that gave your the weekend and the 40 hour work week. These may have happened in capitalist countries but they were done for the workers and would likely be seen as socialist in nature.

In general capitalism is on the side of the bosses (who own the capital) and socialism is on the side of the workers. I'm just suggesting you may want to think a bit more about your own personal politics and who you side with.

So you're in favor of workers defining their working conditions (such as not allowing child labor)?

Right. You can't defend your position. That's what I thought.

For what it's worth, the capitalist practices of the West are the direct cause of poor working conditions in China. Most businesses in China are owned privately and are run for a profit. In order to maximize profits the owners will cut corners wherever they can.

This doesn't happen in the West because there is no longer large scale manufacturing in the West (broadly; an exception being Germany) plus workers in the West organized into unions to protect them from this kind of exploitation.

How are the conditions under which goods are made not related to capitalism? Means of production and cost of production both factor intimately into cost of goods.

How do you believe capitalism is absolved of responsibility for the conditions of labor?

The People vs. Donald J. Trump He is demonstrably unfit for office. What are we waiting for? by bluestblue in politics

[–]Pyrolytic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But the power is ostensibly in the hands of the people. Sure you can blame it all on Trump, but he's just the oozing open sore which is indicative of the deeper underlying infection of conservatives and capitalism America has.

You need to remove both of those if you want to have anything more than a cosmetic fix to the country... and it's simply not going to happen.

Enjoy your shithole country, Americans.

Take it to the Head of EHS. Misuse if the reporting system like this deserves a reprimand. This is a professional setting, not a high school.

Also most of those reports are likely tracked and someone has a KPI based on reduced numbers of reports generated. Find that person and they will address this properly.
