Calling people useless is a great way to get them to vote for your candidate lol

Average Democrat campaign strategy

Saurok ,

All both parties care about is getting re-elected and keeping the current capitalist system. The US is an oligarchy in a democracy suit.

Saurok ,

I wasn't complaining, just pointing out how dumb it was.

Saurok ,

Xcrete was right there, just saying

How would cutting off Israel "cripple the US government"?

Saurok ,

I love how the other person responding to you just assumes you're conservative because you're criticizing libs lol. Common binary brain L, smh

Saurok ,

I didn't know, so thanks for explaining all that!

Start a social media account for pics of the pothole. Keep tagging city officials in it. Call or email someone every time you're reminded that the pothole exists so they will be too. Make the city rue the day they gave Cave Johnson lem... Potholes.

You can absolutely buy a house and sell it for a higher price, and do nothing to it or very minimal modifications. I work in the title industry and see it literally every day. LLC or trust buys house with cash, turns around and sells house a couple weeks later for like $100,000 more, while doing nothing to it or very minimal repairs or aesthetic/curb appeal changes.

I work in the title industry and see houses being bought by LLCs and trusts with cash and then sold weeks later for $100,000 more with only curb appeal modifications or no repairs at all. It's pretty common.

It would be very good and cool under a socialist state, but not in the US currently and I'll explain my reasoning. In the US, nationalization represents the transfer of an enterprise from a single capitalist firm to the capitalist class as a whole via the state. Nationalization can bring benefits to both the working and capitalist classes, but ultimately the workers are still being exploited by the state for private profits instead of social ends. When an enterprise is nationalized by a capitalist state, the former owners are usually generously compensated with state bonds bearing a fixed rate of interest; this enables them to continue to exploit the workers involved at a rate of profit now guaranteed by the state. The class struggle continues, but but it is now necessary for the workers to struggle not against a single private management but against the capitalist state in its entirety. This is one of the reasons why Mussolini and Hitler heaped praise on FDR for his New Deal policies. They did a lot of good for people during the depression, but they also were market interventionist in a way that put a lot of corporate control in the hands of the capitalist state.

Yes, 100% agree. Thanks for the additional insight.

1 out of 3 is not most, and this data comes from 2022. I've read elsewhere that this number might be around 40-42% now, which is still not most.

Saurok ,

I'm not saying your experience isn't valid, but that's anecdotal. Here's some data that puts that number at 1 out of 3 employers. I've read elsewhere that number may be around 40-42% now, which is still not most employers. https://www.nelp.org/publication/fired-with-no-reason-no-warning-no-severance-the-case-for-replacing-at-will-employment-with-a-just-cause-standard/

Saurok ,

It's not weirdly combative or out of touch. Here's some data that says about 1 out of 3 employers offer severance. I've read elsewhere that number might be around 40-42%, but it also appears to fluctuate quite a bit from year to year. https://www.nelp.org/publication/fired-with-no-reason-no-warning-no-severance-the-case-for-replacing-at-will-employment-with-a-just-cause-standard/

Saurok ,

It surveyed over a thousand people and had a margin of error of like 2-3%. Data isn't really a weak source and it's better than no source. Do you have anything to support your claim that most workers get severance pay besides you saying so?

Option #4: Organize with your coworkers and form a union and collectively bargain for higher wages and better benefits.
