Yes, that's correct, it's not an issue of legal liability, it's an issue of their interests converging. the CEO holds stock, he is a stock holder, and the execs are stock holders, they don't need any motivation to put the stocks first, they know where their interests converge, and precious few executives make more money in salary than they take away in stocks, in practicality, every corporation that offers stocks is stock focused, the is why we had daily and weekly meetings in retail stores on the absolute bottom of the ladder to talk primarily about stock prices, and why the main information displayed on price guns is the sale price/cost/ current quarter sales/last quarter sales/and last year to date quarter sales, and the sales numbers daily/monthly/quarterly are what you see posted around the office, it's always about beating last year to date numbers, and last quarter's numbers, and what always drove me fucking nuts is that the store made TWENTY TWO MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS in profit, but "your store is failing because you didn't make twenty two million and one penny. they don't care that we were making money hand over fist, because that's not the game. that game is dead. don't worry. they'll still cut payroll, and you can't like... spend that money or keep that money, but it doesn't matter. it only maters if it makes the stocks move. it's stocks all the way down. because that's where the interests converge. also as a side note, golden parachutes are an internal security measure against hostile take over, it means if someone does successfully raid your business and performs a hostile takeover, they have to pay your executives staff when they fire them and loot the company more money than the company could be looted for. it's never actually intended to be paid out.
it's why capitalism is over. they do not care about making a profit at all. they only care about the stocks. there is only one outcome to this approach, and that's dissolving the company slowly until it fails because your willing to saw your legs off for a small spike in quarterly earning. You eventually run out of legs to saw off.
I hope they sue whoever sold it to them. it's not artificial intelligence, it's a machine learning chat bot. they may as well be running their company with a magic eight ball.
Research done by anti-lynching groups of that time period found that the majority of lynching victimes were owed money by white folks, usually as sharecroppers, and expected to be paid said money.
it's a fair point. but the reality of many wars reaching a point of "total war" ware both sides abandon any rules agreed to or even within their own cultural norms, it has a limit to how effective it will be.
surrendering in a losing war very early and quickly is wise, but few people who are running a country at war are wise or motivated by any form of loss reduction.
Yes. Like all multipliers the heat of the sun requires not only itself the thing that which is acting but also that which is to be acted upon. If you are a handsome wet rock, the distance you are to the sun effects how your heat is multiplied.
Would he have? Because you forget the votes that don't get cast don't show up in the data either. Look up how many voting locations were shut down in republican held states, or how many voter roll 'purges' were done, or how polls are closed early, or how not same day voting was prevented or thrown out, how polling locations are only open during work hours, I'm not making shit up, they reduce the number of people least likely to vote republican by any means necessary and half of what is legal and being done now by Republicans was made illegal by the civil rights act for most of my lifetime. And that law died with a whimper under Obama of all presidents, the conservative supreme court justified that with ''racism must be over now, so we can get rid of laws ment to combat racism''
People can be mad about two whole things at once, maybe even more. When two things happen, it doesn't mean one of those two things suddenly isn't happening. Pay careful attention, sometimes EVEN MORE than two things happen as well.
The GOP will never support clean cut voting laws, they have to manipulate the votes to win anything they haven't had the numbers to win an election since Nixon. That's the reason our voting laws are convoluted in the first place.
I used it the other day when a kid on my bus buckled the extra 5th point harness on himself that can't be taken off without assistance, which he doesn't require, and I warned him if he puts it on I won't take it off until the destination. He tried bargaining, but I told him I'll die on this hill. He's only 5, but he got that it wasn't going to do anything other than what I said. Also, I know for a fact all he's going to do if I take it off is immediately put it back on. And it can't harm him, it's just an extra strap on a harness.
