Shipon posted:Unfortunately you can't really decouple these two - you're going to get the second happen by virtue of the first being allowed to happen. It's like AirBNB, you can "claim" that you're just renting out spare rooms on your free time but in reality it's going to lead to people buying up condos and renting them out full time. Perhaps you could halt this behavior by making companies only allow people rent out <x> percent of the time or whatever. There are already regulations in place, legally, about this, and AirBNB itself has that as part of their ToS. It is, of course, barely enforced.

Add some regulation and the problem is solved. When people or companies find loopholes, rewrite the regulation. It's pretty loving simple but the wave of idiot brain ideology that's been and is still sweeping the globe makes the average person think regulation is super bad for everything. E: also, enforce that regulation.

I'm wondering how much of what we (who grew up in the West during the same time period) were told about the Soviet Union is bullshit.

Zeroisanumber posted:In the old days it was a garbage job that was hard both mentally and physically, but you could support a family of four. These days you can support yourself and a dog as long as the dog doesn't eat much. That and it had little oversight. It was a good job for a certain type of person. ‘Have your truck at this place at this time and we don’t bother you’ . Undoubtedly, things are much safer because of them , but constant GPS monitoring of routes and speed have made a once supervisor-free job one of the most closely watched. That’s a good thing but just another reason the type of person that would have liked that job is skipping it

In Trump country, a group of coal miners rebel over lost jobs, missed paychecks: https://wapo.st/30OBLcn My favorite part: "Cumberland is located in Harlan County, where Trump won 85 percent of the vote. But these miners say their fight isn’t a political one. At the camp, there is an informal policy against speaking about Trump or partisan issues, underscoring the president’s continued popularity in areas where the local economy has continued to suffer. 'That is the main reason we have gotten as far as we’ve got now; it’s because we have kept the nonsense down,' Rowe said, referring to the nation’s divisive political debate." Gonna be straight R tickets, probably even after they're dead from black lung.

I guarantee you they talk about all kinds of racist poo poo and don't consider it political. They don't understand how to talk about the issues because they don't even know what an issue is.

First I've heard of companies clawing back packchecks directly from the bank. These clowns are going to end up with nothing in the end. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the mine just ignores the coal and let's it rot

As long as the cost of litigation and fines is less than the amount they clawed back then they don't care if it's legal or not.

etalian posted:I'm surprised that the clawback is even legal and how the banks seemed to comply no questions asked. my guess is the paychecks bounced. when you get a check it takes days for it to actually clear, the immediate balance you see in your account is actually effectively a zero percent interest loan. to control the risk of a check bouncing, often banks prevent withdrawal of the full balance until the check actually clears, but if the depositor is trusted, like say a long time big company, maybe the bank will say "no chance this bounces, allow withdrawal of the full amount." so mechanically what happened is the depositor promised to pay customer X, the bank tells customer X they have all that money when in fact they don't yet, customer wthdraws that money, depositor then says "lol psyke" and then bank goes "lol psyke that check was never real" to the customer. to the customer, what it looked like was a claw back. effectively it's the same from a customer perspective though.

InsertPotPun posted:"I'm not political" usually means they've staked out a position, and they just got asked a question about that position and they don't want to answer it. It's generally when they know answering the question would make them look bad. It's said by people who are as deep as a teaspoon to explain away uncomfortable contradictions when you spend more than 10 seconds thinking about it. They have not embraced the idea that the personal is political, so they hold very strong opinions on basically every political issue but as long as you don't specifically mention a politician or political party or election then it doesn't count as politics.
