Without a way too keep them from just raising costs to match, raising min wage has a limited effect. Taxes on profit are more effective. Reinvestment or raises should be deductable, tax the everliving fuck out of gross profit for the rest.

Israel is not a functional democracy, pretending as much is gross intellectual dishonesty.
I think she has to toe the line because she is still the acting VP. Going against the president in that position is not a good look. That said it makes knowing her actual position there really tough.
Coriolis fits that vein as well.
They have a high power one for those bastards.
Does anyone actually want to be in Ohio? If something is Ohio, it’s that vague uncomfortable ugly failure feeling.
He’s very Ohio. ( That insult makes me happy as I HATE that shit hole)
Sounds like a great guy who would do well, but is needed in his state more than as VP.
I feel that in my soul. I’m a sysadmin, however it’s mostly password resets 🥲
Royalroad has some hfy stuff. Read the end of First Contact on RR and Raltzs’ other stuff is there too.
The return of Ken M. The OG shit poster.
You’re probably joking, but this is where I landed. We’re no where near ready to join a galactic community.
Every non violent success story has someone behind the non violent one ready to burn shit down that makes the non violent one the easier choice.
Cool story. Now figure out how to stop them other than ‘vote’. Cause we know that’s just kicking the can down the road.
We had 8 good years before that and didn’t set up any protections.
I don’t know what I clicked on that. It was exactly what it says.
99%? Are you sure?
That’s interesting… Communism is by definition stateless and without significant hierarchy. I don’t think other Tankies would disagree with me there.
The ideological difference is in how we achieve communism. I would really suggest reading ‘What is to be Done’ by Lenin. It’s a real short read but was one of the things that sold me on Marxism-Leninism vs. regular “Communism is a neat idea”
Capitalism will sell you the “you’re your own boss, go forth an conquer” all while keeping you under their heel. There is no equality or opportunity there; but even worse is that they will worm their way into any system that does not harshly and consistently fight back against them. Ergo the need for a ‘communist’ (or rather pursuing communism) state.
That then leads into “Well how does the state go away once we’ve got communism?” That’s a whole 'nother can of worms…
Perhaps I was being overly cynical but last years grocery hike was all of those businesses acting in concert. Which I’m sure is illegal for everyone but the rich…
