lmao again, pivoting to ad hominem instead of substance.

You mean, as opposed to a post that said, "... remember when I called you out ..." and accused me of using insults (insulting posters is something I almost never do, BTW). I wasn't aware you were interested in "substance". What what you like to discuss the substance of?

Go ahead, link to the post where you called me out for my knowledge and I responded with an insult. I'll wait. It will be a long one.

Also, you probably know what an ad hominem is well enough to know I did not use one. I don't think you need a lesson on logical fallacies.

It's difficult for me to interpret this post in any light other than you trying to score some sort of points off me, or demonstrate your superior knowledge, or something like that.

My question would be, "How many companies are currently using more employees than they need to and automating less than they need to"? If they can do the job with 15 employees, why aren't they already?

Fair question. I’d guess it’s because it’s not very commonplace to work one’s people like Amazon does and if more companies started to do it, those people would try to leave and find a company that doesn’t work them so insanely hard.

Once the next recession hits, companies will start to do this more. And it’ll stick even when the recession is over imo.

My wife works Big 4 accounting. When the recession hit, they laid off about 30 ppl in her office iirc. The remainder picked up the slack and that harder work lifestyle has remained.

Fair response to a fair question. I think we agree neither of us has real answers.

Bernie does not even know what type of government we have in the U.S. Is this really someone you want as president......

I think one way to stop the inequity and sad state of affairs that our working lifestyle has become is to put caps on what executives can make. Caps on what ppl below them can make. It would have to be based on revenue/profits/employee #’s within a company or something and I’d guess this is crazy socialist but I see no way to otherwise stop the freight train that is in the equity. I think changing OT laws for salaried employees could also be hugely beneficial. Companies could no longer work people to the bone without paying them 1.25x to 2x what their hourly rate based on a 40 hour work week would be. It may be beneficial for companies to instead simply hire more people though what a company pays in benefits for an employee, amongst other things, must also be factored in.

Glad to see Dems acting like adults and consolidating the field before it's too late.

What? Both things can be true. It is not mutually exclusive. Garbage take. Of course the US is a democracy. A representavie republic is just the structure of government. Im sure he is well aware of that as well. Dont you guys hang your hat on being a democracy?

This video is most of you liberals in a nutshell. Completely unhinged. Video has swear words so do not watch if you are easily offended.

Also, if there was some sort of national healthcare system for all, I’d guess this would help companies and employees as well.

Do you not understand that Trump has autocratic tendancies? Dont know what your video proves except that people are passionite about their convictions and have a hard time dealing with people that implausibly oppose their way of thinking. Trumpers are much the same.

Though I guess Im proving your point by even responding. Both sides are guilty of not attempting dialogue.
