When Nestlé’s involved the answer to that question is always money. I won’t be surprised if they start convincing some third world counties that meat is bad and to eat their products making bank while causing widespread malnourishment in th

I have never heard anything worth remembering come form trying to argue about government spending or fiscal policy by treating it like household budgeting. It’s kind of like if people argued that a bridge construction must be unsafe because

I love the comparison! :D It conjures the image of someone answering concerns about storage with “don’t worry we can just hide it under my bed!”

It’s a textbook bug, it’s an unhandled edgecase. The designer didn’t sit down and go “and logically when a circular belt is full, the items should stop moving while the belts keep moving”. The fact that it was decided to not handle this edg

The fact that they chose not to fix it does not mean it’s not a bug. It’s obvious to even a first grader that this is not how items on a circular belt should behave.

I’d be ok with then charging a significantly lower for a “limited bandwidth” connection. But I bought an unlimited, so they have no right to complain. Imagine if the same principles were used in other areas. You iPhone suddenly locking up a

Honestly curious, where in the world do you live? Equating sustainable with lower quality is really odd to me and I don’t think anywhere at least in Northern Europe. If companies are producing just to get the lowest cost, it ends up being t

This much more clearly displays the problem with all these “this service does not exist” because even though it doesn’t show the source material it’s abundantly clear that these are just simple stitches of the training toons. Like you get E

Honest question, do people add tips to McD in the US? Because then comparing the price payed by the customer in the transaction becomes closer, even higher if you factor in 20% tip. Denmark does not have a culture of tipping, it’s rarely do

How is it disingenuous? McDonald’s (the corporation) where the ones deciding not to follow union agreements, it wasn’t some individual franchise owner doing it.

> Firing anyone not worth minimum wage makes the true minimum wage $0 = unemployment. Denmark is not communist. The state doesn’t mandate that you have to work for Mcdonalds and cannot work anywhere else. If a company doesn’t feel you ar

What? Why would I try to remove a union contract minimum wage that applies to myself and coworkers, simply because one individual is slow or inefficient? That makes no sense what so ever.

This logic sounds like an argument for chopping of you hand if it falls sleep. There is an obvious and straightforward way of getting those 12000 people to work again. There is no argument for firing them just because they are striking outs

Interesting experiment. Traditionally when people reach the point of wanting to pay money to get a wife, they travel to some less well off country and buy a wife from there.

I think no, but that army matches on quite a large load of cash, so they’ll likely offer him a settlement agreement which means he “losses” but gets paid. Not fair by any account, but I think that’s what is likely to happen.

That a completely different and silly argument. Should an employer be allowed to raise an employees wage? Yes, sure.... but no, if hey are allowed to modify the terms of employment hat must mean they’ve also should have he right to steal em
