@Wipqozn I never understood that, just blatantly "respecting" anything anyone believes. I'm not going to respect anyone's believe that the earth is flat, that the moonlanding was faked. If you've got a well-reasoned belief based on things that we've not shown to be either way and you're working on different assumptions then I am, I'll respect that. If you've got a mess of unfounded, unexamined goop for a belief system... why is that worthy of respect?
@TimStone I just wish we'd stop letting the stupid things he says distract us from the terrible things he and the Republican party have done
This happens every time
Something terrible happens or is revealed (shootings, massacres, Russia connections, Epstein connections, etc) and the next day Trump says something stupid or bigoted and the media pounces on that and within the day everyone has forgotten about the very real and bad thing that's happened
> The new wave of rule-passing started last summer, when the city instituted the country’s first-ever freeze on for-hire vehicle licenses, barring drivers from registering new cars to drive for the companies. (The freeze exempts wheelchair-accessible and electric vehicles.) In January, Uber and Lyft trips beginning or ending in much of Manhattan got slapped with an extra $2.75 congestion charge. (Taxis got a $2.50 surcharge of their own.) Then, despite a lawsuit from Lyft (and a smaller competitor named Juno), the companies were forced to begin paying drivers $17.22 per hour earlier this ye…

De Blasio has many failures but some good things come out of NYC, I admit.

oh you're experiencing a structural problem? what about if you budgeted... better? that way you could afford a sensible term life insurance policy underwritten by fidelity
"Yes, I have millions of dollars, and maybe 95% of Americans live in adject poverty or will be bankrupted by their first major medical issue, but that's because of their own decisions, so it's their fault."
As much as Nintendo is out of touch with modern gaming and how people share it, their CEO reducing their salary is at least one step in that direction.
My boss is a pretty honest guy; founded this company, and doesn't have a mentality that focuses on maximum profit.
We had a conversation over lunch that strayed into profit sharing, and he'd be all for it, if the employees were willing to accept loss sharing for downturns as well.
CEO compensation is definitely not an issue that can be solved with a few positive role models
That's just not how any of this works
People are going to do what benefits them personally unless you have strong laws, oversight, penalties, rehabilitation, and even THEN you might still have issues.
You can't just (your personal role model here) your way out of human nature
@Frank I mean, seeing as how the organization is led by Jamie Dimon, I think it's safe to say that the organization has no actual interest or effect in shifting capitalism.
