So... Putin can't take Ukraine and is losing a not insignificant part of their military capabilities and yet we're concerned that we're going to deal with more war with Russia? Are they going to be coming after Europeans with sharpened sticks?

Not in that term, but as a concept. I do know it now though so thanks!

I have absofuckinglutley no faith whatsoever in our society to do the right thing in this respect. We value ownership waytoofuckingmuch when it comes to businesses, were never going to get past the argument of "I put forward the capital for this business, I am entitled to all of the profits. Who cares that there is no work for you? No work no pay."

I forsee a gigantic increase in homelessness and politicians will use that as an excuse to further cut any social spending as they'll pin all our issues on "communist policies." :(

There would generally be mandatory meetings for workers to attend that would allow for debates on the trajectory of the company. The state would "own" it but the workers would still direct it.

In a very very small way, it is like what Germany does with large corporations. They require a percentage of the board of directors be actual workers so it's not just a bunch of capitalist parasites making decisions that would hurt workers just to boost their own portfolios/profits.

An individual can't own the means of production, it's supposed to be "owned" by the people. I'm not a communist, but that argument never changed.

That's why they increased the price. They know soon you won't have a choice

I believe it's also largest in dollar amount by a long shot.

Just a quick search found something from 2018 so don't crucify me if it's not accurate anymore lol

Not so fun fact: the constitution allows for slavery as long as it's a punishment for a crime.

Hmmm... Nah, those dots don't connect at all.

It's absurd lol my job was complaining they can't find anyone to work, yet they're offering $16/hr for machinists that would need to drive an hour just to get here... It's a joke

"Tell massive heartless corporation to not make every single penny possible!"

Corporation: "We must say with a heavy heart that we've lost our communications department. They all died of hysterical laughter after receiving a request to put people over profit."
