What can we do?
So people think the '90s looked like the '80s, but they actually looked like the early '70s?
Weird.
Home Depot needs to call the cops and have him charged with theft.
He's a bully, an idiot, and a thug, but most importantly he's a criminal.
The news here isn't that companies will actually have to pay their employees (marginally) more.
It's that being forced to pay employees a slightly larger fraction of what they would have made a decade ago is considered the "top risk to the economy."
Read that again. "Paying employees is the top risk to the economy."
This is why capitalism needs to be burned to the ground.
This is fucking garbage.
When a company gets caught with their hand in the cookie jar, it's not a punishment to put one of the cookies back.
Fines should be ten TIMES what the company made from their misbehaviour, not ten percent.
This isn't a 'painful day for tech titans.'
Corporations don't feel pain. C*Os insulate themselves from it. They're getting steadily richer, probably making more money than you'll ever see in your life.
This is a good day for tech consumers. That should have been the headline.
"Conservatives go backwards" has become the mantra of this country. Heat pumps, wind and solar, LGBTQ2S+ issues, women's rights, healthcare, everything that we could be progressing on, the conservatives are regressing.
And we keep electing them.
There's a lot of siloed misinformation here.
FURTHERMORE...
This has nothing to do with performance or the economy, and everything to do with late stage capitalism. Companies have a round of layoffs just to bump up their year end statements. Worse yet, they then proceed to hire people back for less money.
It's money-grubbing evil, no more and no less.
This is also why the one thing Trudeau could do to make me respect him would be say, "I'm stepping down as leader. My last act as PM is to roll out legitimate proportional representation."
The Liberals are probably not going to win the next election no matter what; but legitimate reform would mean an end to autocratic majorities.
Of COURSE it's Telus!
Rogers is fucking awful. Bell is worse. But only Telus is this eager to abuse its customers' privacy.
And they're a growing player in the for-profit healthcare industry. Wonderful.
And a day later, the developer has shut down.
As frustrating as this may be, it's even more frustrating when I see exactly the same thing among PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS!
directory structure and basic text editing are foreign concepts to them. If it's not in their IDE, they really don't understand it.
Also, 90% of them are hunt-and-peck two finger typists.
