Trump judge?
What is the point of “democracy” in the USA if unelected judges who were appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote but won the presidency due to the slaveowner-designed electoral college can just nullify anything that is even slightly good? It’s almost as though amerikkka has always been a fascist dictatorship toward anyone who is not a rich white male and that this country desperately needs a communist revolution right now.
Keep your racism out of this. White people are also negatively affected by this.
This country was founded by white men, and built by enslaved black people. The white supremacy was baked right in from the beginning. Black Americans didn’t gain full civil rights until the 1960s (when my parents were in college.) The legacy of that white supremacy remains to this day, both from existing power structures and ways of thinking, and due generational wealth differences.
It is not racist to point that out.
There is no denying the legacy of non-white racism and genocide against native Americans and its horrible impact continues today. Racism is a real problem that hasn’t gone away and should not be ignored.
Maybe I’m being an idealist, but when I see use of language from OP making it seem like theres some coordinated white people scheme to only benefit white people, it seems like a straw man argument made to demonize one specific race. I feel like we’re all getting pretty damn well shafted these days and we can work together to improve the lives of people in marginalized and underserved communities.
Imagine being so racist that you think discrimination of a particular race is not possible.
Go back to… Not being educated?
I don’t watch Joe Rogan and I’m not conservative.
In my field of work this is relatively important. For one thing there are company secrets that give the company an edge temporarily. Those things you generally don’t patent because you don’t want to disclose them yet.
So if you could just find another job and tell others these things, then yeah that could hurt a company. Usually we keep those things a just need to know level. So the guy who orders parts or the lady who does budgets don’t get to know details.
But then on the overall it hurts us workers because we would like to be paid more or get a promotion or a new higher income somewhere else. But we are trapped. But I think this sort of thing is very niche. I mean, I literally spent 3 years of my life trying to find another team member with the right engineering background.
And it also hurts the country overall. People who know the technology are few and far apart so when we loose one to old age or disease so goes all that knowledge.
I for one try to grow engineers. I find those who are open minded and hungry for new ideas and then I bring them to the water. If the donkey drinks, then my job is done. It’s really hard to see one of my guys just leave. It’s years of my life and effort gone. But for them, it’s spin-off open season. Or maybe they teach others the principles we developed together. And this in turn makes better and more engineers. Putting a limit on what we can say or do just sucks balls.
Sounds like your field of work should pay their employees a lot and treat them well.
And they do. I got no complaints from that end of the bargain myself. But It depends on when you start. Like if you start at a point when the company is not doing well, you are probably not going to get a good bump. But then you don’t know what others make so it’s mostly going to be compared with rumors from the net as to how much you might ask for. Anyway if you join in a bad year you get stuck with that pay while new people probably get a lot higher when profitability comes back. The owners have no incentive to pay you more just because they are making more.
There’s a new law here in Washington State where the new positions must state the pay range. But then you can have a rate range that is far too large to be of any comparison or gage use.
The reason I would want freedom from these laws is so that I can get a good job doing what I like. Chasing a project from company to company just to learn more about it for example is not uncommon.
In all of human history, conservatives have oppressed the normal people. That’s just who conservatives are at their core. They are natural, instinctive oppressors.
Never in history have conservatives been defeated by pacifism. Never. Swift, direct, forceful action is always required to defeat them.
The slower we are to act, the less likely we are to survive this. Every normal person you know is in mortal danger and no one is coming to save us. We need action.
It would be nice if liberals like biden and his supporters stopped either enabling or aping conservatives.
My first question coming into this thread was, “is this a Trump judge?” I’m glad OP answered that in the post!
Have the courts ever addressed the conflict between “employment at will” and this?
On side, we get rid of you when and how we please…
But you can’t go get another job because “slave master has property interest in you”
It seems like “master” mentality is still very strong within elites.
Judges aren’t interested in being consistent, it’s just about oppressing you and upholding capital.
Yes it does appear to be that way. Even when Congress does a good thing, it gets stalled or shut down.
Can’t rely on elected officials to deliver proper laws, executive appears to be useless and judges will stop any progress.
How many generations of this now 2 or 3?
How many generations of this now 2 or 3?
It’s been continuous since colonial times. It’s an unbroken thread from “indentured servitude” and “slavery,” to “sharecropping” and “vagrancy”/“convict leasing,” to “non-compete agreements” and prison labor being managed by prisons directly (instead of having inmates leased out).
