Have you read any serious work by any of the major liberal philosophers or analysis of their works, or are you going off vibes?
The core of liberalism, when faced with its various contradictions, has always been the freedom of the capitalist class to exploit the working class.
There’s been a word for someone who supports capitalism for 200 years, its liberal.
No they didn’t, they specifically said workers might accept lower than minimum wage if walmart was allowed to give them expired food in liu of meeting minimum wage, and that somehow this will give workers more leverage and not less. They say they want strong unions, but only mention policy that would help the union’s enemy. Whether they know it or not, they’re a rightwing libertarian trying to pretend blatantly antiworker policy somehow helps workers.
Either because unions force them or because better jobs are available.
And you think removing minimum wage would cause unions to become stronger and better jobs be made available?
The market must be turned to the advantage of the workers.
This is done by forcing the capitalists to operate on our terms, not letting them exploit workers with even less regulation wtf?
Sub-livable doesn’t help. But if sub-mimimum wage comes with a better package, e.g. child care or health coverage or short commute, then it creates a livable competing option that forces Walmart to rise wages.
A company giving its employees expired food instead of money isn’t going to make other companies increase wages.
With enough jobs nobody has to work for sub-minimum wage unless it’s to their advantage.
??? People are already forced to work for unsustainable wages and end up in debt or working while homeless.
It really feels like you started out with the assumption that capitalism is the best possible solution for everybody and then went backwards to figure out why this isn’t matching observations.
Why wouldn’t walmart cut wages further if allowed to?
If it wasn’t literally illegal they wouldn’t even pay real money. We know this because its what companies did in the past.
The existence of millions of sub-livable wage jobs isn’t going to make walmart increase its wages, I feel like you’re trying to bend reality to pretend removing restrictions on capitalists exploiting workers somehow helps workers.
pay by allowing employees to take home expired food instead of making them throw it away.
This is a person who thinks society would be better if stores gave workers expired food instead of money.
Holy shit I forgot how much british news loves its fascism.
But yeah, it shouldn’t be too hard to put together a bike that can beat the tests, but it might require some creativity, such as setting up the phone holder to disengage the >250W circuit, so you can take your phone, hand the bike to the pig, and it will pass the test.
I’ve been there!
I was extremely confused when a woman handed me a banana like it was a completely normal thing to do.
Piracy didn’t start in 2006, before that there was limewire and Napster, and before that bootleg DVDs, and before that the MPAA spent billions lobbying to ban VHSs with a record function and get draconian punishments for recording movies.
When? Also it’s probably not hard to have a setting to only use 250 watts of power. Illegally modified ebikes and emopeds are a thing everywhere, do you think the UK is uniquely effective at combating them?
Nah fuck that paternalistic homophobic piece of shit. If the FBI promotes your work, you suck as a socialist.
So you buy a known model with the correct stickers and switch out the motor and related circuits. If they’re anything like bore-swaps, the motor will have the same case and say 250W on it.
How do the test systems work? Surely theres a way to beat them or just don’t get caught.
Aw man, you’ve missed out, its not too late though.
The guy complaining about people being mean to nazis is obviously a nazi, but there’s been a lot of comedy that wasn’t just a disguise for being an asshole, if you’re from the 80s you remember Richard Pryor.
We have path finding algorithms. Large Language Models aren’t suited for that.
It might require you to buy a kit and modify the bike yourself, but cops can’t tell how many watts a motor makes by looking at it, nor are they likely to notice you’re twisting the throttle to modulate speed.
Its not uncommon for kids in China to illegally modify emopeds so they do absurd speeds but look normal, presumably similar kits for ebicycles are on aliexpress.
Maybe in Europe, idk I’ve never been there, but the only people I see who talk about “craving maccas” in asia certainly aren’t American.
It depends on the exact word and context, like if you go to Japan and say Hay mmmburrrgurrrr をいただきたいです, it sounds so bad.
