  1. if you must do a fine, it should be a percentage of your yearly income / gross profits
    149
  2. you must have still collected ones with high value or at least spent a shit ton of money on them. I've been collecting since i was 5 and have easily 5-10k cards, and I doubt I could get $1000 for them all.

  3. I'd rather they turn it over to the employees, restructuring the company into an employee-owned cooperative, where they each own an equal share. I don't think it's fair to the employees to just shut it down, and I don't think we can / should expect the government to be able to run a bunch of separate companies well or without conflicts of interest.

  4. you forgot step 8, which is to have the news stations report that the people you gave the jobs to instead "Stole" the job from you

  5. companies literally want slaves. every publicly traded company in america would gladly switch their workforce over to slave labor if it was legal (and many are already using legalized slavery by doing it in other countries or using people in our prisons)

  6. one of the only jobs where the worse the economy gets, the more secure your job is

  7. insane conflicts of interest aren't usually illegal

  9. the times when the poorest suffer the most are always the times when the wealthy multiply their wealth the most. 2008 was fantastic for rich people as well.

  10. that's an excuse not a reason.

  13.  @HowMoneyWorks  because people like this guy for some reason keep ordering it... like you can see the cost when you buy it... why don't you just not buy it...

  14. we need to close the loopholes. all of them. the more complicated our tax system, the easier it is to exploit. no more tax breaks for corporations.

  18. maybe if wages actually reflected demand, they would take the jobs. but supply and demand is only used to justify price gouging, never wage increases.

  19. americans being rich is an illusion. most are struggling because of a huge number of jobs that dont provide livable wages and extremely high costs for housing, food and healthcare.

  20. i remember when the goto joke about america was sucking was "im moving to canada" now it's just "guess I'll die then"

  21. the main problem isn't the myth, it's that we allow corporations to create these myths and spread them via mass media. it was never a good faith theory to explain economics, it was always designed to trick employees into accepting lower wage (of which they have many) if we squash this myth, they'll just invent a new one, have the msm spread it, and we're back to square one. in any system where corporations control the laws and media like ours, this is inevitable.

  22. that's a guarantee

  26.  @sprinkle61  dude shut up, "just business"? so much evil has been done in the name of business and it doesn't justify it at all. if anything, it's the worst justification there can be since it means "im doing this for pure greed".

  27. capitalism ruins everything. private equity is just a distilled representation of how the entire system works. those with captial (wealth) use that money to manipulate the market to grow companies at impossible rates, then when it's big enough they cash out and squeeze as much out of it as they can, then move on to the next thing. that's not just private equity, it's the entire system of capitalism which is designed as a playground for those with capital to extract work from those who dont

  29. we are having the life squeezed out of us by the rich, and half the country is rooting them on.

  30. all the old falling down houses in my town are owned by banks that are hoarding them until they can sell them at a profit. i don't think rewarding the bank for rehabbing them will fix the problem.

  31. very true. housing investors are stealing a huge chunk of the american economy and keeping people poor.

  32. it sucks that we even have to see the before tax number. that tax should just be paid silently by employers, employees should get every dime they are promised.

  35. no one should be allowed to buy property in a country they aren't from while people in that country are homeless.

  36. remember when they used to pretend that money was based on how useful the work you did was and not how good you were at turning money into money by sitting on your ass
