What they forget is that other people aren't going to be as comitted to their business as they themselves are. They're not going to care as much for the simple fact, that if the business takes off, they're not going to earn any of the profits. Why would I work 50 hour weeks like the founder, if I don't stand to actually reap the benefits?

"We're sorry we told you to fuck off, we still want you to, but it turned out people like you more than us, so now you made us look like the bad guys."

I believe the parents have a bigger responsibility for the child's safety than the school. The school should obviously have shut down, but in the end, the parents are the people who are supposed to keep the child safe, not some strangers. And I don't care wether the parents had already gone to work. If you live in a place where flash flooding can occour, you know the risk is there after strong storms. If the school is expected to know it was a risk, the parents should damn well know aswell.

My question is why the fuck the parents thought sending their child to school by himself during flash flooding was a good idea?

In my experience, that line was mostly left over on Reddit.

Got plenty of other things I'd rather show up for. Trump knows what we think of him, protesting here won't do a thing to change anything he does.

Seems like the story in Legacy makes more sense, judging from the trailer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think i get the sentiment of what you're saying. Tariffs can be good to bolster local production, and thus, local workers under the assumsion that businesses doing well is good for workers (I'm not convinced it is, at least I don't think it' s what's best for workers. But let's work within the limitations of the capitalist system here.

The problem is how USA is doing it right now. If you give a 10 year warning before implementing tariffs, while also allocating money to support growing the needed industry, you make sure the industry has time to adapt and make the necessary changes to accomodate the needed growth in production and educating the workforce.

None of that is happening. In fact, while putting in the tariffs, the workers's jobs are threatened with an economic collaps. The outcome in this scenario is survival of the rich, who will survive a 99% loss in wealth and income just fine. While the most vulnerable, the working class and those even more vulnerable like the sick or handicapped, are asked to simply live with it, and hope to god they may some day be able to afford what they used to. Meanwhile the richest will keep buying all that the working class are forced to sell off, just to survive.

Tariffs aren't necessarily bad, but in this implementation they're absolutely catastrophic to the working class, and a sale to the oligarchs.

This is the right attitude. Just because the fucker decides not to act like he works anymore, doesn't mean he deserves our money. There is absolutely no way I would ever consider buying a Tesla. Even IF they somehow force him to sell every single stock he owns, and he has absolutely nothing to do with the company, the rest of theses investors are just as bad as him, for sticking with him over the last 10 years. They can all get fucked.

I'm talking about this case with the medical student.
