I have a union job and all I have to do is text my boss “I’m using PTO today.” 30 minutes before my shift starts.

California produces 10% of American agricultural needs. If they secede it would be way worse on the economy than these tariffs.

Definitely a time where everyone was clambering for power over the graves of dead giants.

Poland and Soviet Russia were both climbing out from the ashes of monarch rule. They quickly scrambled to reclaim borders and expand those borders. Poland was technically the first to expand and move into Russian territory by capturing Vilnius and then Kyiv. This was not a “big bad Russians were conquering poor Poland” situation.

Poland was not the victim you’re painting them to be in this scenario.

Good point. I’ve never seen an ad on it and I’ve been using it for at least a week. There’s sponsored content, but you’d have to go looking for it. Like if I wanted to watch some videos about Nike shoes, I’d see sponsored videos and such. But no actual ads.

Based on the interaction with the app. The features are extensive. There’s no ads. My data has most likely been leaked by American companies anyways, so what’s the big deal?

Rednote doesn’t have ads

So far it’s been a wildly better experience

Or just go to rednote instead

Get ready for The Great Depression Pt. 2: The Electric Boogaloo

China keeps taxes low by investing directly in businesses instead of shelling out grants and tax breaks. It’s been incredibly effective.

Last time we had a tariff war like this was the great depression

Well I already deleted the app and it’s not available on the app store. So long fake Chinese app. I’m going to a real Chinese app instead.

If all my data is for sale and China can just buy all my data from Meta, Amazon, Google, etc. Then why not just skip the middleman? At least if I give my data directly to the CCP, Zuckerberg won’t have access to it.

I just learned from red note that Chinese people don’t pay property taxes. Once they pay off their mortgage, they just own their home. I’m definitely the one living in a third world country.

Dialects explains that the world is full of contradictions and opposing forces. When these opposing forces come together, they can form a new thing. An easy example is to look at multiple opposing news sources to piece together the entire truth of an event.

Dialectical materialism is Marx’s concept that contradictions in material conditions of life are what drive historical change. Primarily that the economic base (economic classes, resources, working conditions) is what shapes the superstructure of society (laws, politics, culture.)

I mean, that’s literally the conclusion that Richard Wolff came to. Call it whatever, just as long as we do it.

The boss can still be bossy if elected. Your 5 year rule is silly and does not address the overlying problem, which is that the CEO works for the shareholders and they only care about making record quarterly profit gains at any cost.

CEOs should just be elected by the employees
