College also introduces you to the greatest argument against communism: communists who are a slightly different kind of communist than I am.

I think dismantling the entire automotive industry and replacing it with bikes and public transportation is the right solution, but I sure think that giving unionising as many shots as possible until then is worth it. the thing about timesheets is u can just make them up

Morbus posted:the thing about timesheets is u can just make them up I would never do such a thing. Also I would definitely not inflate billable hours based on how rich/evil the client is. I did work somewhere with a loving check in/out system that recorded the time you started and stopped work. Obviously starting from when you had started up the PC and logged in.

The difference between "working at home" and "playing video games in your underwear" is simply the belief that your actions are valuable to the company

Here's more capitalism.txt instead of a .png. A vendor recently found an amazing way to save a ton of money shipping oxiziders from China. Just ship them as non-haz! Normally you can't ship oxidizers from Northern China, since in 2015, a port in Tianjin exploded due to improper storage and handling. Why be a sucker and ship those supersacks down south when you can just declare they're a solution and so not hazardous? Non-hazardous goods don't get the same scrutiny at the port. Regulatory and product managers hate this one weird trick, but it can save you up to 30% or more to just buy illegal hazardous materials that will explode and kill people if not handled properly!

Biplane posted:Being poor I have to scream at my food until it's warm enough to eat. Wildly jealous luxuries such as microwaves and instapots. instapots aren't luxuries anymore, now they're relics of a better age. capitalism happened to them, private equity took out a huge loan to do a hostile takeover, stripped the copper out of the walls, demanded enormous "management fees" and bankrupted them. you can't just build a product people want to buy, you have to have growth forever or you will be killed. capitalism, folks. love to see it.

Normally you can't ship oxidizers from Northern China, since in 2015, a port in Tianjin exploded due to improper storage and handling. When I worked at a terminal on the grocery side, a driver was loading one of these pallet-sized plastic liquid containers:  onto his lorry. I think it was going to a school or something. Marked as cleaner. The only hazard label on it was the old "harmful" cross:  He noticed the cap was loose and tightened it. Then the palm of his rubber-coated glove just... disappeared. Like the "Thanos snap" thing I guess (haven't seen the movie, but have seen the GIFs).

Here's an article about how weight loss drugs being effective are a threat to pharmaceutical industry profits.quote:The potential impact on the medical industry could be even bigger. Over 40% of Americans are obese according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and that number has increased by nearly 40% over two decades. Obese people are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease, various cancers, arthritis and dementia. In 2016 the Milken Institute estimated the medical costs associated with obesity in the United States at nearly $500 billion a year. A 2021 study published in the BMJ projected that costs from reduced health and higher absenteeism worldwide would rise 50% by 2060.
