I thought your bodies were a wonderland. Wonderlands?
I put Tinder on my phone last month, but for some reason I'm very afraid of swiping right. Please note that fear of rejection is what keeps me from dating, and it seems like Tinder might heighten that for some reason.
This comment will never get enough stars.
Daaaamn boy, that's hot.
It's a Canadian chain. You wouldn't know it. *pedals away on his fixie*
wait....... They can turn the camera off when they want? What kind of crazy bullshit is that?
Myth now dominates our misunderstanding of Muhammad Ali, who was once the most accessible celebrity in the world.…
I hope to god he just says "Fuck you" and starts training for the NFL.
Union domination with Denmark style unions works, but I can see where you are coming from with American unions. Like, a public transit strike bc the bus drivers want more money sounds all well and good, until you realize the bus drivers are already comfortably middle class and the ppl who are served by the bus are by…
I think that's what it comes down to. It has to be a balance between the corporate interests (like having a company that turns a profit so it can continue to exist and pay wages) and the employees' interests (fair wage and working conditions). If either side holds the other to ransom, it falls apart. My biggest…
I don't even see how unions are themselves considered anti-capitalistic. If they can spring up in a free market (and they can), then I'd say they're an integral option for social change in a capitalistic economy.
We have a strong union system in Sweden too and believe me it's just protection because unions can only do so much. They can't save anyone in any situation. So it's not like they rule and anything they say goes, it just makes the employer not have complete power. For instance, employer can find a loop hole to fire…
The Danish labour market actually have pretty flexible rules on the hiring and firing of employees, it's one part of the three sided labour market model called Flexicurity. Second part is unemployment security or benefit and the third part is active labour market policy, which means an offering of guidance, job or…
that's where government regulations come into play.
The scary thing is watching how the rights secured by unions are being stripped away as fast as unions are declining. I guess I'm a "knowledge worker" and I get treated very well by my employer, but it's scary and depressing how often I overhear clerks at retail establishments talk to each other about how they've…
Considering that unions have taken quite a hit in the last couple of decades, they might not be quite as gross with their power as they used to be. I do remember a local politician friend of the family (back in the late 70s) fake-whining about having to go to a fundraiser at a local union leader's mansion in the…
I got into a union and my hourly wage tripled, now I have a pension and health insurance. Obviously, this is just anecdotal evidence. But if unions are evil and corrupt then bring it on.
Yeah...I mean unions kind of suck in a lot of ways, but I haven't seen anyone propose a better (or even remotely viable) alternative to keeping employees from getting completely hosed, over...and over...and over.
