my question in particular is why aren't all votes considered equal in UN on any matter in general? It's so petty of US, the most powerful empire in the history of planet to put embargo on a tiny island like Cuba.

How is this voting system is fair if US can just go "naah..we don't like it" after everyone else has voted yes?

To be blunt, if reimbursing your employees for better working environment makes your business non-feasible then your business is based on exploiting workers and does not deserve to exist.

I just installed KDE Plasma+Wayland today on mint Linux. Working great so far, although I’m not noticing a large difference in performance, maybe my specs are good and load is light.

It’s funny how people are focused on “deterring china” than fixing problems at home. For a developed country our labor protections are poor, public transport is laughable and universal healthcare system is just non-existent. US has invaded

I think they are motivated by their urge to micromanage and nothing else. It’s a fallacy to think the “great leaders” are infallible. The last couple of years is a proof that these leaders can be as dumb as rocks.

I was being more charitable to Elon by trusting what he said himself. I know the $28k number. Almost 40% of the households with college age kids earn less than 70k before taxes. How many would be able to afford to give a $28k loan to their

Taking a loan is not the same as able to afford it. 40% of the households with college aged kids earn less than 74k. https://www.statista.com/statistics/782411/parental-income-o... Also it's insane to compare

"having your parents pay for your education is hardly a rare circumstance" - What is your source for this? Why do you think the President wanted to forgive student loan if paying for education was not such a big problem? Median Am

Makes so much sense. What do we even get after working like robot for 30 years? We don't have retirement benefits, we would've barely paid for a house if we could afford one. All this for making the CEOs and capital owners even mo

It's interesting that this is happening when market is being consolidated in the hands of a handful of monopolies.

Same logic does not apply to the upper management because they are not directly involved in generating value for the company. Elon Musk is not out there writing code, Tim Cook is not assembling iPhone or even designing it. Telling someone w

It's relevant because it proves that majority of the workers are competent. If you are not able to succeed with a competent workforce then you're just a bad CEO/leader and should step down. Also it's wrong to assume comp

Why do you think the workforce who generated record profits for Intel only a couple years back are suddenly "unneeded"? That's just reflects the dumb decisions made by the leadership. If anything the CEOs and upper management

I think the journalist is bang on point. The company can pay $1.5B in dividends but cannot pay enough to keep their workforce. Corps will do everything to avoid paying their workforce fair share of the profits.

Police most often serves the capital owners through the politicians funded by capital owners. The farmers protest in India was a good example of this. Police tried to barricade, beat up the farmers who were protesting a law that would’ve be

Not that different from American police. They also work with less toys and much less salaries than American police.

The question was whether communism meant equal outcome and the answer is No. I’m not gonna defend Romania, Soviet Russia or any other old regimes on how they implemented communism. The context here is about unions. Democracy at work is impo

You are wrong, communism was never about equality of outcome, it was more about equality of opportunity. This is part of red scare propaganda. Also US had a lot to do with Cuba and Pol Pot if you study history.

One has to wonder whether these decisions are based on logic or on what Wall Street(investors) demands. Now is a high time for unionization among software devs irrespective of their pay scale.

How is this unique to Apple though? Every other smartphone company does this. It was innovative in 2012, now it’s as common as a wheel.

It’s slightly more convenient than carrying a paper transit pass and a credit card(which don’t consume energy) sure, but nothing life changing for anyone.
