This applies to right wing gun owners as well, just replace "Karl Marx" with "the US constitution" and you're all set.

I disagree, NUMBER always cares about unemployment. Whenever a company announces firing many people its stock goes up.

Corporate types and other rich people have fully internalized the idea that an employee is cost. They've internalized it so much it completely overrode the idea that employees do things (also maybe because they never do anything themselves). The ideal company has zero employees. Wait, what do you mean it's not doing anything? But you've cut all the employees, how are you not making way more money?

Seriously. I've seen this exact cycle so many times with so many companies. Company is in trouble -> let's fire people! -> woo, we solved the problem, stocks way up! -> wait what do you mean revenue is down? -> let's fire more people, that will solve the problem! -> stocks up -> repeat until once profitable company is fully run into the ground

You're thinking .223 for deer hunting which is a centerfire round

A Russian troll farm posted:

yeah, a .22 is better than nothing but sooner than later you're gonna want either an AS Val special assault rifle or a VSS vintorez in 9x39mm machined tungsten carbide cored subsonic ammunition, which not only is your ONLY reliable way of taking out an attacker wearing an armored exoskeleton, but it also has the stopping power to take down mutants in a pinch, and it produces no muzzle flash or supersonic crack, making it a very effective commando weapon. The only downside is it doesn't have an available grenade launcher attachment, meaning that you might be in trouble if you run into a pseudogiant, so you'll want to keep an AN-94 Abakan (which has a special 2 round burst mode in which the second round will leave the barrel before the recoil is felt by the shooter, allowing both rounds to hit in the exact same spot and penetrate all known body armor) with an attached GP-25 grenade launcher, and maybe an RPG-29 if you can find one.

CHRONICLE

The fatal blow inflicted by the virus on the chocolate egg industry

A confectionery entrepreneur tells Agi about the crisis experienced by the sector. With the only prospect of borrowing from banks to try to survive

Giammarini has been operating in the chocolate sector since 1937. More than eighty years during which the difficulties certainly have not been lacking, but never anything potentially fatal like the coronavirus.

The turnover for the approximately forty Italian companies operating in the confectionery sector is over 400 million euros during the Easter period and this year it is experiencing a sharp drop: between 30 and 40% of turnover. Luigi Giammarini himself confirms this to Agi.

How is the situation?

“We can't take it out on anyone because for companies like mine that have 95% of their turnover concentrated over the Easter period, the damage is huge. In terms of a much higher percentage, for a company that has an annual work breath. If the others, staying one or two months, had an average damage loss of 10-15% in percentage terms, for us it was more than 50% "

What could be the consequences?

"Dramatic. Either the banks give us liquidity and we can survive until next Easter, or we have to close and we are forced to fail. Because the turnover does not allow us to cover the costs. From what I have seen in the last decrees there will be no non-refundable indemnities or subsidies, so we will be forced, the luckiest ones who had the budget in order, to indebt us with the banks ".

How many people could lose their jobs in your sector?

“We hire seasonally, fortunately also for them, for 4-5 months, from December to Easter and we have 15-16 people who have worked at altitude. If we are not there next year, they will not work. "

How do you feel right now?

"Our company has been standing since 1937, it took coronavirus after more than 80 years. Sin. This is the situation and I think it is common to many others, at least in the confectionery sector, which is very affected by seasonality. Such an event close to Easter was devastating. As an entrepreneur I am resigned, it was an unpredictable event ”.

Are you trying to survive in any way?

"We are making online deliveries, we are doing everything to try to recover the recoverable, but the damage is still there. We have been collaborating with the Lega del Filo D’Oro for three years, we are currently making 300-400 shipments a day for them, but it is a drop in the sea. "
