sean10mm posted:Primary chat is already "gently caress Biden" 24/7. Could just keep it there since Biden himself is not relevant otherwise? I dunno. I think this is a good idea, it eliminates the "WHATABOUTISM" aka Republican talking point that will destroy this thread otherwise.

Rabble posted:Seconded. I strongly disagree on this course of action, recent history demonstrates that it does not work and ultimately creates more problems than it resolves. That said: Biden's failson getting handed a cushy job is more of a problem with modern capitalism/American culture than it is an indictment of Joe Biden. It's lovely and unfair and sucks but it's also the kind of thing that happens at literally every major company, major university, or anywhere in our culture where there is access to power. Ino we leftists don't need to do anything for Joe Biden to sink himself other than to put him in front of a camera and a hand him a microphone, he's a doddering old fool who is out of touch with basic reality. He'll sink himself without any expended effort on our part.

It’s probably not good business depending on how competent the person is and how much blowback you’ll get from your other employees, but it’s not illegal unless there’s evidence of another underlying illegal act. Edit; just saw the mod note

theflyingorc posted:Wait, is every person who hires one of their children at their company corrupt? Other than examples where you're talking about small family companies, 1000% yes. (And even then, I've known plenty of small family companies that self-destructed because incompetent fail kids were handed positions of responsibility that they were not capable of handling.) Maybe go read up sometime on what happened when the guy who founded Werner transport tried to hand the family business off to his children. It... It did not go so well...

Biden's crimes, should it turn out anything actionable exists or may exist, are relevant to this thread. If it's just 'Biden is a bad dude who sucks' then that's more primary thread stuff.

I'm kinda surprised by this being your opinion. I mean - do you think that every "X and sons" roofing company is inherently a corrupt institution? It's a matter of degree - as long as the person being hired is held to a stricter standard, I'm fine with it. VitalSigns posted:ahahahaha

I wonder if after 12 hours of not tweeting Maggie's leg twitches and she gets a vague yet powerful urge to be a useless mouthpiece for trump press releases Funny to see that they are still trying to trot out some absolute amateur hour talking points. No wonder they can't get any elected officials outside that bama representative and graham to actually try to talk them up Herstory Begins Now fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Sep 27, 2019 |

My point is that I think that, likely, most hiring of your own family members is varying levels of corruption, but I don't think that the very idea of parents and children being in business together is.

I'm just sitting here thinking of all the sexual harassment I've personally witnessed the owner's son/nephew get away with..... Y'all if anything small family businesses are more notoriously corrupt and nepotistic than even the good old boys club that runs the big corporations. In small rural towns very flagrantly so- you don't mouth off to the wrong kid at school or your Mom gets fired from her lovely job. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
