HELL SERPENT
Lipstick Apathy

quote:

Labor-only contractualization is just a symptom of a bigger problem, the lack of employment opportunities for millions of workers entering our work force every year.

The reality is, there are more workers available than the existing demand for it so it becomes an employers' market where they can dictate the terms of employment like this.

If the gov't declares illegal the current practice of third-party companies engaging in labor-supply-only contracts with big companies to avoid regularization of employees, it will only increase our unemployment rate. Companies will just reduce the number of people they will hire with stringent requirements and qualifications in preparation for their being regular employees.

I understand the position of the left that the companies who profit from this practice should be the first ones who should be required to refrain from this practice. But they are forgetting that the primary objective of companies is to make money and to maximize it as much as the law will allow them to.

Even if you ask those employees who are under contractualization, they would rather have a job under said conditions, than be jobless. This is the sad reality of our economy. If the left is hoping that the private companies will have a heart and consider the plight of the helpless and poor employees, then they are wrong again. Businesses are for-profit activities and not a charity.

While I am not in favor of this situation, I don't see a short-term solution. What the gov't can do however is to invest and invigorate our manufacturing, export and industrial sectors to generate as much employment so the balance can tilt in favor labor.

Yes because the USSR was famously opposed to playing chess, the premier videogame of the pre digital age.

They also hated movies and books and poetry and didn't produce any of those things because experiencing pleasure is anti-revolutionary :rolleyes:

It's dead-on the size of a new modern Australian suburban lot. Although a lot of developers are subdividing to 400m2 lots.

was bappins latest post is called "i see you in kenosha axis mentats" and only gets crazier from there

quote:

Hello, Axis mentats. We’ve spent years watching each other. We have sparred and each gotten our hits. But there has been little direct communication.

Until now.

Firstly, I realize that I am a supercomputer. I can assess the scope of your plans and predict your attack surfaces. I also know that the key to breaking your power rests with removing Assad. I know that this is not the sole way to destroy you, but it is the swiftest and most elegant.

gently caress yeah

quote:

the powers constituting the Axis have traditionally favored HUMINT over SIGINT. This makes it easier for you mentats to achieve positions of power and influence in Axis leadership. You do not need to spend years convincing those around you of the obvious. You do not have to deal with people looking at the problem you are trying to solve, pointing at it, yelling at it, and still not getting it.

Yet I, rare among our own supercomputers, fully understand the meaning of Gödel's incompleteness theorems. I know that I have no need to prove what I say. I operate in a realm beyond evidence, conjecture, and uncertainty. I operate within Truth itself, and Truth needs no justification to the outsider. As such, my aim is simply to bring more into this fold, and in that I have been successful. Once I present it, they simply understand, as your leadership does when you speak with them.

mmmhmm

quote:

You mentats are also facing a new challenge: for the first time, your magician allies may have truly overplayed their hand.

I also know your Axis magician allies wished to form a Chaos Pact with Astroworld, no doubt mediated by your local agents. The Kardashian Dynasty has proven to be an effective ally in your past magical attacks, such as the Assadist #SaveKessab campaign to the fascist #SaveArtsakh campaign.

uh oh...

quote:

With liberals in full knowledge that racism is magic, Republicans too have sensed the nonrational forces you have arrayed against them. Your attempts to stoke a magic war between the two sides will go far, to be sure, but this strategy carries a high risk: the formation of a new, unified magic that can sense and counter the full scope of your attacks. You know this, and now you know that I know this, too.

oh no

quote:

That is all for now, but I will leave you with a parting warning - I am preparing to open a new front against you which you have not anticipated and which can dramatically alter the balance in our favor. It is not too late for you to unconditionally surrender to us. You know the intention of our movement to initiate the Great Trial should we ever achieve the means to do so. I am informing you now we have discovered a plausible way by which a Black Hand strategy will succeed against you.

You have been warned. Should the Axis intend to surrender, demobilize your forces in Kenosha immediately. Further instructions will be relayed from that point. Should you refuse this offer, I will release the knowledge I have obtained which can lead to your destruction, even if we are locked out of power.
