Too knee jerk. Needs “tax” incorporated as it’s so unpopular.

…or paying his employees more.
Funny how we don’t have a popular term for the portion of an employee’s deserved wage that turns into “record shareholder profit.”
Imagine if all corporations were required to put a line item on check stubs showing how much you made them.
They’re either bought or scared of somebody who is bought.
Recently I saw this reel and thought it was interesting in regard to what gets shadowbanned:
You only need one demand - money has to be removed from politics. It solves every other problem by removing the incentive structure that creates corruption.
For those who are unaware, U of M Ann Arbor has a strong Jewish influence from affluent East Coast students from New York and New Jersey.
There is also a strong Muslim representation from the large communities in and around Detroit.
It’s one spot in the country where the two ideologies will directly clash. I would imagine the University is treading on thin ice trying to appease wealthy donors and the students at one of the most progressive campuses in the country.
So, where we currently are, just a different set of naming conventions.
Let me know when we actually execute monopoly regulations as intended.
Because people need a common term that’s memorable to describe it.
Something like “owner’s rake” or “worker juice.”
I woke up the other day and thought, “What if Putin launched a nuclear war on the US? And the current administration knew beforehand but did nothing other than leave the country in advance of the bombs making impact?”
Just a reminder that the LDS Church has $206 Billion in the bank.
A church. $206 Billion.
Which characters do you think are in the shootout?
Putting people on planes and shipping them off to prisons without due process.
When have we seen this before?
This is what they all paid for, right?
Those “free speech” dollars are working as planned.
Playground antics can work on these types of people. First, you have to understand who they think they are, and what they take pride in. Then attack them incessantly based on the knowledge of what constitutes their ego.
This point should be understood by all - they’re programmed to get a dopamine hit in the moment by pissing you off.
They’re not arguing in good faith and all the time you spend making rational statements is a waste. Nobody is keeping a scorecard that punishes them for losing an intellectual discussion.
The opposition to MAGA has to find a new path, because applying rational arguments in discussions ain’t going to work.
My claim is it isn’t constructive to scream about “corporations” without actively understanding the core issues. Corporations are human constructs governed by a set of laws within whatever locality they exist.
We have allowed corporations to become overly powerful and greedy by letting our elected officials effectively accept bribes in the form of so-called election finance. This has led to regulatory capture by corporations.
My point is corporations are whatever we allow them to be, and after generations of allowing them to become monopolistic behemoths, we either need to find a way to reign in their power or we’ll be run over.
If you want to reign in corporations, you have to start by changing the systems that govern them. Screaming that they’re greedy is a fools errand, they’re obviously greedy in the current form. We need to take action and actually hold people accountable.
Corporations are whatever we define them to be.
They’re only legal structures which we could construct to be beneficial, or as we see in modern times, others could mold to rob society of greater good.
The problem isn’t corporations, the problem is humans don’t have the consistent will to build societies that prevent and punish greed.
The always trustworthy 737-800.
That’s an incredibly long list.
