wikipedia napkin math. with 1.15 million and at least two million reserve personnel.

~3.15 million personelle. ukraine hasnt killed that many; probably around 300k. their probably talking about the number of troops in ukraine. which is probably around 700k for the duration of the war. if you count just the 1.15mil is probably close to it now.

that simply isn’t true. a deal is simply an agreement of terms.

the fact dumbasses here are splitting hairs around sick leave, safety, and insane schedules is absurd. All are serious problems that shouldn’t exist.

and it was viscerally demonstrated with multiple train crashes occurring during the period the unions were threatening to strike.

someone needs to lay off the coolaid. OH NO public healthcare, education, and worker rights are DANGEROUS!

n working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers.

so they’ve been paying lip service and not actually accomplishing it? sounds about right. you don’t get credit for lipservice.

I was happy with the union busting changings though. but that is likely admin dependent.

every single fucking time with my fellow left wing morons. trying to dunk on the democrats by using manchin of all people. lol

a pretty dumb one at that if they don’t recognize that manchin isnt the problem with the democratic party. you want to dunk on the liberals fine, I’m right there with you I’m about as left wing as they come but manchin isn’t the person you hold up and say ‘THIS IS WHY LIBERALS ARE BAD’ schumer or someone that actually represents the group holistically.

i’m left wing as they come mate I just recognize that 50 > 1. if we want to dunk of the democratic party there are better people to dunk on that are more representative of the liberal failings as a group.

age limits; term limits have some actual negatives like getting rid of good representatives and increasing corruption.

Your shit-ass party owns this monster.

Your shit-ass party owns the other 50 monsters. so i’ll take the hit for this one.

its hard to get a person who living is based on a lie to see the truth.

why the west is so extremely powerful, that is the answer.

again you cite something without any evidence to back it up. its not capitalism that granted the west dominance. its geography. post world war 2 every country not in the americas was absolutely gutted economically, culturally. the ‘west’ (i.e. capitalism) came to true prominence during this era when literally every other country was in tatter the USs economic engine was basically pumping on full cyclinders. it just happens that the US was also practicing capitalism at the same time; china which is not a capitalist country rivals the US in economic power today.

the US protected from most of the devastation of the war due to the oceans protecting it borders was the only country able to support rebuilding and retooling the rest of the world. its pure dumb geography that lead to this situation not any intrinsic merits of capitalism. not to mention during the war the US had more characteristics of a centrally planned economy than a capitalist one. go figure.

you attribute a lot to capitalism without any real evidence its actually the cause. the rest of your post is an uninformed rant about communism which I’m not even going to bother addressing because its your straw man; I’ve made no argument in favor of communism.

you’re entire argument seems to be ‘US is capitalism; everything they do is a result of capitalism’ which is fundamentally not the case our schools where the majority of research happens are publicly funded. most companies engaged in research receive public funding. that’s not capitalism mate.

you want to change capitalism yourself because its a fucking horrible system and you know it deep down; you just can’t articulate why.

its amusing how you can’t realize you’re demonstrating the same behavior as the coworker.

define success and what systems you’re comparing it to. it may come as a surprise to you but many people don’t value the supposed benefits of capitalism the way you do or even agree with the statements you’re spouting as if they are facts. note communism isn’t generally the system people propose as alternatives today due to its centralized nature. not the mention the changes to a capitalist system you made would make it not a capitalist system as you’re putting restrictions on the market. and capitalism is based on a ‘free’ market. which is both impossible to have and easily corrupted.

you’re missing the forest due to the single example being given; kind of like their coworker missing the point about rounding. the lack of the fundamental understanding of mathematics is leading to this person making a mistake repeatedly and their insistence that they followed the rules (which they don’t actually understand don’t apply here) leads to confidently incorrect answers. these types of behaviors will show up repeatedly in many contexts.

hes pointing out how the technology is going to be used realistically by corporations. hes not saying AI is bad inherently. hes saying the outcome will be bad for society. which is very true.

snicker drewdevault is an avid critic of capitalism. thats entirely the point of this post actually.

you have no idea who drew devault is clearly and you entirely missed the point of what he posted.
