They get a cut probably.

If you are a shareholder that gets the payout and make a profit… it sure is. For everyone else… Who are we kidding. Fuck everyone else.

And are still profitable… they just want more profit. So they reduce pension payments and wage growth and other employee benefits so they can pay enough dividends next year.

Profits go up if you don’t invest in your company but instead pay your shareholders. But at some point you atrophied your R&D so much you have fallen behind and then the question becomes, do you bleed it dry and sell it for parts, or revitalize by investing. And if revitalizing is still viable.

No company can take over Nasa. Nasa is a research organisation. It actually pushes the envelope and does things that have no apparent objective ROI… like going to Mars and driving around a rover. Only a government funded organisation can do that.

Of course we can just pour endless buckets of money into for-profits… but then who decides what is done with the money… Nasa actually has the organization for this… with scientists… clear grant processes etc. etc.

No, this is misrepresenting older hardware as state of the art, switching out hardware component of the system if you select the rental option, then asking a predatory rental fee, and littering the contract with mines that give the company cause to charge you extra or if they make mistakes reducing a 2 year legal period to adress the problem to a mere 60 days. And then using an army of influencers to lie and misrepresent this product in order to drive sales.

I hope that the incumbents learn the right lessons. People are angry and hurting. Struggling to make ends meet. Telling everyone that we’re fine and the economy is booming just emphasizes that the economy and normal people have nothing in common… There is no “we”… the economy is booming the broader electorate can afford less than we could only 2 years ago.

Lol at all the down votes… people could also have not engaged with your post… but apparently there is a right way to use your posting privileges and you broke the law.

Why not? This is contingent on the US being an unreliable nuclear umbrella… And Germany deciding they will be part of the EU’s nuclear deterrence.

You don’t need many nowadays. They can be city killers all by themselves… a single satan 2 missile Russia is so desperate to get working would be able to wipe new York of the map…

It would additionally require a few subs for second strike capability.

Maybe Assad can buy some north Korean troops too.

Yeah… cause small government

And he is right. Else there will just be a next conflict under the treat of nuclear weapons everyone else needs to bud out.

That’s because they will not deport all of them. They will deport a few 100.000 with a lot of noise… and then not so much. Giving the farmers an even bigger boogie man to hold over these workers… effectively creating a new slave class in the US.

Corporate fines should be GDPR style… a percentage of global revenue.

Yeah! Parents should totally be allowed to give their car keys to their 14 year old to go out and drive drunk if they feel their kid can handle it.

Is this the NATO variant of threatening to nuke?

So can I also start remote driving my car?

And what bills are those. Cause you gotta live within your means. Personal bankruptcy will help him get put from under contracts deemed too expensive… so he can pay the people he defamed.

Absolutely!

That’s why we need to regulate what is allowed in contracts because there are things that are just so wrong and predatory we as society should not find that acceptable. We do this all the time, its long overdue to extend this to the music industry.

Also please understand… individual that just started out vs multi billion dollar record label with decades of institutional knowledge is not a level playing field.
