Exactly

And they might even have lots of cheap labor from people that are starving

Watch them do it in Israel

Are you seriously comparing software engineers to members of a state sponsored terrorist police?

Because they’re working class like you and me?

He’s not saying that you shouldn’t unionize

He’s just saying that while it’s good, it’s not really a revolution so ideally you shouldn’t stop there

Pretty crazy to write that the third that didn’t vote, did so because of Israel lol

They’ll kill old Reddit eventually

And then the site will effectively die

I wouldn’t mind if they did it soon tbf. That way I would find other ways to pass the time at work

The world sees what they are doing but is the world really doing anything against Israel??

Because it doesn’t seem like it

Ever thought about that those could be bots??

Also I could also say something like “for those that shot me down for saying the earth isn’t flat, suck it!”. While those people do exist they are an insignificant minority

So what got her over the line? Gas prices going up?

If you want to stay, stay You could also send him a message hinting you were thinking of staying and see how he responds But I guess it might be too late (I hope you stayed)

Hi from Switzerland! (Non Swiss too tho)

How did it go with him going to work?

Did he just leave you there or did he tell you to stay?

As other users are pointing out it’s definitely too fast for most relationships but like, do you want what most relationships have and do that or do you want to do what feels right?

Depending on how the situation went in the morning then getting home to a “wife” it’s chicken noodle soup sounds AMAZING. It could also sound awful to him but at least you will know that maybe you aren’t on the same page.

You said going with the flow has turned out amazing, I say keep going and see where it goes. Maybe it leads to nowhere except some embarrassment, maybe it leads to something truly special. I’d rather have a chance at that

Good luck and keep me posted :)

Nobody is gleefully revelling in schadenfreude of the far right rise in the US. Quite the contrary ffs

Why do you think fascism is on the rise everywhere? Because most of the western world follows the US (and also because the US pushes for that )

We’re trying our best to hold the line in our countries but we can’t invade the US to kidnap your dictator like the US can. It has to be the US people to topple him

FYI when we’re talking about taxing the rich and wealth we’re not talking about doctors and lawyers even if they still make a fuck ton because they are still getting paid for their labour and they need to work in order to maintain their lifestyle even if they would be considered rich.

What we’re talking about are people who make their living through their capital I.e. due to the exploitation of other people.

Fuck yea brother/sister/whatever

Enjoy! It’s an amazing show

Touché

First I’m not from the US

Second, yes ofc it’s politics. Nobody is disagreeing on that.

Third even in Europe this is becoming a problem even if the inequality gap doesn’t grow as fast

Yes new jobs will be created but more and more wealth is concentrated at the top

It’s not the apocalypse but it’s also not not bad in many ways.

Technological progress should only be a good thing but in a capitalist society like ours it has a lot of downsides too (for the majority of the population ofc)

Supposedly

But things need to become real bad

Nobody is arguing that technology won’t progress. Even Marx defends that as a precondition for socialism/communism.

The question is the following. Tomorrow a ground breaking technology is developed that makes literally everyone twice as productive. (Please let’s ignore the technical aspect of this. I’m simplifying for the sake of the argument, but this is happening at some paces everywhere).

Now you have 3 options:

1. Everyone can just work half the time for the same productivity. I.e. the economy can sustain itself with people just working less (which is a MAJOR quality of life increase).
2. Everyone works the same amount of time but their salaries double.
3. Everyone works the same amount of time. Their salaries increase a small %, perhaps keeping up with inflation, perhaps a tiny bit more than that, sometimes even not keeping up with inflation. The added productivity results in increased wealth aggregation at the top.

Number 1 is what people are talking about in this thread.

Number 2 won’t happen because salaries aren’t actually tied to productivity. Productivity just sets a higher limit on salary that in any case is never reached. The salaries are actually determined by competition between workers.

Number 3. Has been happening since the seventies and will continue to happen.
