There's all sorts of reasons being unionized could help create a better product.
Hopefully it means less insane crunch but it's still up to the higher ups to say "ok good enough" and release before it's polished right?
Yes you're correct, but the union beyond just meaning less crunch, also means that the average worker has more pathways to be vocal about problems with the product. They also now have a "nuclear option" of going on strike if management makes a decision regarding the product that the union really doesn't like.
Plenty of revolutions have happened, before, during, and after the Cold War without U.S. support, the U.S. actively opposed the breakup of the Soviet Union for example, and yet it happened, and several democracies were created from it's downfall, with little influence from the U.S.
dictators without the U.S. funding them
FTFY
Even if the U.S. government did regularly fund protests/resistance against dictatorships, why would that be a bad thing? As long as it's not singlehandedly deciding on regime change like in Iraq, I don't see anything morally wrong with supporting pro-democracy causes within dictatorships.
You may be joking, but that's pretty much the attitude of the Ukrainian Intelligence Services at the moment, there's no point in sending well trained operatives into a meat grinder on the eastern front, much more efficient to just let them go around the world hunting the Russian Intelligence Services
The incident comes six weeks after United Airlines flight UA998 was forced to divert to Dublin following a suspected medical emergecny.
Do these large media companies not have anyone doing spellchecking?? Like seriously, I've seen tons of random typos in mainstream media articles, how are these not being caught?
Dude, do you think I’m criticising the American people?
shit-tier, racist, colonialist, genocide supporting, white-supremacist hellhole. Have fun with dealing with the tide of fascism.
Idk this definitely doesn't feel like the attitude of someone who wants best for the American people, maybe you as a European, the continent that created fascism and experienced it more than anyone would know otherwise though. /s
Vote all you want, but it’ll never make the United States a good country. The US will always be a colonialist power controlled by the rich until you remove those rich bastards from power.
Unless you're advocating for the violent overthrow of the American government, something that would be almost impossible, would involve the first civil war in a nuclear nation ever and would inevitably wreak havoc on the world, and is certainly unwarranted under our current administration. Then voting is literally the only way to change our government, and it's perfectly possible, the Democratic and Republican parties have changed massively due to the will of the people. The Republican Elite did not want Trump, the base did, and the Democratic Elite can't stop Bernie's popularity or more people like him getting into local office, state offices, and their influence can be beat in congressional primaries easily, if you want the U.S. to change in a radically left ward direction, violence will get you nothing but arrested, voting (and organizing) will bring change gradually.
The US is a nation of big talk going nowhere. Biden talking about how much he wants to end subsidies but it doesn’t fucking happen.
So you blame the entire nation for the actions of a few fascists in Congress who are still addicted to their oil? Maybe tell us to elect more Democrats who will end subsidies, instead of blaming the ones trying to fix it.
Literally the only article you linked which seems like something happened was US finding for housing in Africa which sounds nice and all, but y’all continue to exploit Africa way fucking more than you contribute.
Is how I know you didn't read much other than the headlines from those articles, or are you saying that millions of dollars to build housing for refugees in Armenia is nothing? Are you saying the money given to rebuild Ukraine was nothing? Are you saying the houses built and diseases eradicated in Africa were nothing? Are you saying the condemnation of genocide in Myanmar, Xinjiang, and Bosnia and the actions taken against those regimes was nothing? I would generally agree U.S. corporations tend to exploit the global south (along with corporations from China, Russia, and any rich nation), but that in no way negates the actions by the U.S. government to alleviate suffering in the global south, the most powerful country in the world isn't a monolith.
I’m sorry you can’t abide criticism of your shit-tier, racist, colonialist, genocide supporting, white-supremacist hellhole. Have fun with dealing with the tide of fascism.
Is definitely the attitude that fellow humans should have with each other towards the global rise of fascists. /s
I notice you’re criticising my reasoning rather than providing an example of a good thing the US has done
Because you started with the precondition that any answer had to be one you had heard of, which is preposterous, how are we supposed to know what you've heard of?
From the fact that all of the rhetorical questions you asked could've been answered with a Google search, it seems you've only ever heard of or paid attention to the U.S. doing bad things, which makes finding a good example that you've heard of a non-starter.
They're saying that your coworker didn't read enough communist propaganda books to forget about the oppression they faced and learned to love Maduro regardless.
I get my news from pretty diverse sources, so it shouldn’t be that hard
Diversity of sources almost doesn't matter, quality does, you could watch a hundred different Trumpist YT channels, Fox, and OAN, and you're not going to know basically anything factual because all of those sources are trash. The same could easily be said for questionable left wing sources too.
Well that kind of defeats the point doesn't it? If you're so far within a rabbithole of politics that you never hear anything positive about the U.S. then that's on you.
That's not a federal law, murder within a state is charged and tried by the state the murder was committed in. The only exceptions to this would be murders on federal property, or possibly murders on federal officials AFAIK.
What federal law did these cops break that the DOJ could prosecute?
He's doing about the entirety of what he can do right now by urging congress to pass this bill, he's already signed several executive orders on police reform.
Imagine supporting a literal insurrectionist because you might pay lower taxes maybe. Very cool dude.
