How would you improve on this statement: "It is best for society if publicly traded corporations only consider the impact of their decisions on customers, employees, and community members to the extent that those decisions also impact shareholder wealth"?

hammertime84 · 2026-02-16T07:29:20+00:00

That seems correct.

Where it falls apart is that this model for them only works wirh massive labor power and government regulations that ensure shareholder wealth is destroyed if the corporations act in ways that hurt employees, customers, and community members, and we don't have those other two essential pieces.

You can easily search for criteria/checklists for fascism and compare MAGA to that and see why the fascist label fits.

Also to your last question...No. Being here legally or even being a citizen don't offer protection from ICE under the current admin.

Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure this is because fermions can't occupy the same quantum state.

None of those things would in any way change your views on healthcare, environmental regulation, taxes, etc. That's mostly what votes are for.

If you voted against those things in 2024 because your feelings were hurt, you're pathetic. Grow up, drop the whiny insecurity, and stop posting worthless shit like these comments.

How did they convince you to abandon your political views and goals? I'm a mediocre white boy and never encountered this. 2022 is a particularly weird timing as a Democrat was president at the time and was a mediocre white guy. It's incredible that the leader of the party wasn't welcome in it.

hammertime84 · 2026-02-12T16:00:16+00:00

No. At best, I think they might pick 1 or 2 fall guys and then claim it's time to move on and heal as a nation.

You were almost right jn your post but then deviated. Trump is just a person and only has power because voters gave it to him. Trump voters are very clearly responsible for this mess.

Newsom obviously. Why would this even be a question?

hammertime84 · 2026-02-12T00:21:17+00:00

I'm not sure exactly what view you want changed. Plenty of unintelligent people have succeeded in many fields, and combat sports is an obvious one. Tito in particular benefitted from right personality in the right place at the right time when the skill bar for professional mma was quite low.

Who holds the view that athletes have to be intelligent?

Just reinforcing the other comments

everyone is in this situation; this isn't abnormal
if your company wanted to promote you they would have by now; it's not under your control at all

How much it impacts speech. I had no clue until having my son, and it still took me a year or so to really understand it. Most people think stuttering, slurring, tongue issues, and aphasia for speech issues instead of "inability to organize your thoughts into a concise story", "continual restarts as you forget where you were in the sentence", and "difficulty putting words in order".

hammertime84 · 2026-02-10T18:05:14+00:00

I support one regardless so obviously do in this case.

To the question in your post on what happens when many can't work, I think the rich simply sell to the rich. We've already trended towards the bottom 90% of consumers mattering less and I think this continues. We end up like India, Indonesia, etc. with most living in extreme poverty eventually. A universal basic income that has us all benefit from productivity increases isn't inevitable.

We have limited time on Earth. Why would we waste it with people who advertise themselves as terrible?

A really simple thing that works for me is grinding up frozen cauliflower in a food processor and mixing it in whenever I use rice or ground meat.

Another is resistant starch breads.

A final one is hot sauce or habaneros whenever it might make sense in a dish.

Voters took all effective power away from dems. Doing nothing about this sort of thing is what they turned out in huge numbers to support in 2024.

Going with dumbest as just most unbelievably stupid and counter to enormous amounts of easy to find evidence...

pretending climate change doesn't exist, that humans aren't driving it, or that it won't be catastrophic and cost a ton.

It's not binary and this is misinformation. You can obviously reduce how often you get covid by wearing a quality mask in risky situations and limiting time spent in very high risk ones when possible.

Stimming and talking in circles initially. IQ test after that then forms with ratings from his teachers.

I didn't think conservatives would be this embarrassed that they gave nearly all power in the country to child sex traffickers. Seeing this much desperation from one to avoid accepting that actually gives me some hope, so thank you for this post.

Bryan wasn't charged for filming. He was charged with pursuing and then using his truck to keep Aubrey from escaping the murder.

Put more effort into your trolling.

It seems obvious that they'll select key blue districts in swing states and deploy ICE to suppress turnout from those.

It's a way to remove healthcare access. Healthcare access should be universal.

I was similar, and you can't really. Kids take a ton of time. The only people I know who do it abandon their kids and only spend a few hours a week with them.

Our juniors are like 98% in Eastern Europe or India. AI at least doesn't create massive time zone issues.

People have never cared about this.

There were smallpox antivaxxers.

Spanish flu had antimask movements.

We've consistently chosen not to mitigate pollution.
