He literally came up with the hyperloop because he was afraid of a high speed rail hurting Tesla sales.

This is a big problem with the growing popularity of service fees. Instead of raising wages employers are adding service fees to push labor costs on to the customer; which is already what tipping is. So, they raise the cost of goods for more profits, add service fees to increase wages without increasing labor costs, and then the customer has to decide if they're going to top or not. It's a hell of a decision because the worker and the customer are both already getting fucked, and the customer then has to decide which one of them is gonna get a little more fucked than the other.

I was on Reddit every day for 14+ years. July 1st I came to Lemmy and never looked back.

I've lived in Florida my whole life and I'm not leaving without a fight. I'll be damned if I let my home fall to fascism. I got involved in my union. Now I'm vice president and I'm getting involved in the UAW CAP and I'll be lobbying the government for labor rights. My mission is to punch Desantis in the dong. Momma ain't raise no quitter.

1,500 animals died, including 280 sheep, pigs, and monkeys. Sounds really reliable.

It's starting to sound like they should unionize

CEOs should just be elected by the employees

Oh yeah, I forgot the other social media apps don't collect data and spew propaganda. Oh wait... They do.

Well according to the previous math, they retained 10% of their revenue and 75% of their profits. I know, math is hard.

Capitalism is not "when you have markets." I totally agree that it's important to have well regulated markets. But capitalism perverts democracy with bribery and lobbying. Democratic Socialism is when you have a democratic government and a democratic economy.

If those were in the US it would have one guy in a huge truck parked diagonally across the entire space.

I'll be far too full after eating the rich to also eat the janitor.

You're showing statues of Lenin in countries in which the Dictatorship of the Proletariat failed to cede power to the working class and establish a socialist economic structure.

When Lenin took power, Russia had nothing. It was in the middle of WW1, there were regular famines, almost everyone was illiterate, and it was in no condition to establish a socialist economic plan. So, Lenin created a temporary economic model called The Dictatorship of the Proletariat. This is a centrally planned economy designed to rapidly develop infrastructure and industry in a country that has none. Lenin was already ceding power to the worker's councils when he died. Stalin decided he liked The Dictatorship of the Proletariat and did not cede power back to the worker's councils.

Those countries never experienced Communism. They never even experienced socialism. They destroyed those statues because they hated The Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Living in a system designed for a short temporary economic boom for decades is no fun.

Yeah, the whole point is having a legally binding contract that sets wages, hours, and working conditions. Also the "going through your union instead of your manager" is super dumb. It's like saying, "why talk to your lawyer when you can just confess to the police?"

Deep state = billionaires with undeniable bribe money.

Also known as the proletariat, petite bourgeoisie, and bourgeoisie, respectively

They want US workers to be cheap labor without sacrificing quality. It's impossible to do that so they're blaming the workers for being bad instead of blaming the companies for not paying workers well enough.

Capitalists tell you to work and starve

Fahrenheit isn't how people feel, it's how brine solutions feel.
