Oh yeah loving cool I love replacing public goods that everyone can use for free with for-profit companies. Imagine how loving hard it would be to get public libraries off the ground today. Like if we didn't have any and you wanted to start one.

Good Dog posted:The Miami Marlins tried to (or did do, who knows) that when Dade County tried to sue them for part of their profits since they paid for the Marlin's new baseball stadium. The Marlins then said that they couldn't be sued at the county level and it had to be a federal case because they were an international company based in the British Virgin Islands. The entire loving state of Delaware is empty PO boxes that businesses claim as their corporate HQ

EugeneJ posted:5500 forms were due last week for every company that offers a 401K, and you can get some valuable data from the disclosures Isn't Amazon one of those Mad Max workplaces where they cull the "bottom 10%" and everyone in the corporate office is out to knife each other to make sure they stay out of the bottom 10% and their enemies get put in it?

Pound_Coin posted:There's a great episode of uk undercover boss, I think it was poundland or similar, but it has two outstanding moments; the first happens shortly after the CEO is talking about how proud he is of their knock-off brands, giving people a like brand experience without the price. He then witnesses customers and staff referring to it as "knock off tat" and is crushed. Liz and Matt Bruenig did a podcast about Undercover Boss arguing it was the most revolutionary show on television because the CEOs look like twats and all of the problems of the working poor that it shows stem DIRECTLY from how much their jobs suck. And the CEO fixes the problems for like, one person who floated into their orbit during the show but it leaves a big unanswered question of "Well what about all the other line cooks who can't afford rent?" https://soundcloud.com/ebruenig

The continued existence of QR codes at all outside of ticket-taking is a weird capitalism quirk. I think I maybe scanned one in my lifetime, to test out the QR code app that I downloaded. I've certainly never seen anyone else scanning them. But some class of marketing person somewhere added "QR codes" to their toolkit a decade ago, and they're still peddling the same bullshits about them to upper management, who have no idea how the rabble lives so you can lie to them at will about how to market to the rabble.

deoju posted:Some police departments do this poo poo with 'bait bikes.' They also make sure the bicycle is valuable enough to bump the charge from petty theft to grand larceny. It's a hosed up practice. You aren't stopping crime if you are the ones creating it. My university did this, but in a way that actually stopped bike theft. They completely flooded the school with bait bikes and let everyone know they had trackers on them. There were spots you didn't even need to lock your bike up, you could just park it in the big pile of unlocked bait bikes in front of a building.

Ah, we can probably make more. Just put 2 hydrogens together, bam, helium

100 HOGS AGREE posted:the amazing thing is sheltering the homeless in affordable/free housing isn't that expensive and would also get them out of sight of the bourgeoisie. Utah does this, because for all their many problems, Mormons do seem to care about actually doing things Jesus said to do. It works super well because not only do homeless get a home, social services knows where to find them and help them.

It's actually loving impossible and a huge time sink for most businesses, which are small and local so their reach is limited. Even if they did manage to go viral it wouldn't do them much good.
