Why do these companies never get it? You want to retain talent… you gotta pay to retain that talent.

More accurately, you want your experienced and proprietary-knowledge-laden people to not take that stuff elsewhere…. Gotta pay them what they’re worth.

Can’t keep lowballing the pay raises, and expect people to not shop around,

Biden: what would Trump have done if the Capitol riots had been led by Black Americans? (www.theguardian.com)

Joe Biden has launched one of his most scathing attacks yet on Donald Trump’s record of racism, suggesting that the former US president would have acted differently to the January 6 2021 insurrection if was led by Black people....

it would never have happened in the first place. if roles were reversed, there would have been adequate forces in place to prevent it from escalating.

Remember, Trump made sure to have a relatively light law enforcement presence in the capital. There were no unscalable barricades present. there was no call for the Nat Guard- despite assurances they were ready to go, and that was trump’s call.

the entire insurrection was planned by people who wanted to put trump back in the white house by any means necessary. I don’t know that it was entirely planned by trump- he’s a moron- but it was certainly done with his cooperation.

There is zero need for him to bring race into this at all. Or even immigration status. The fact that he equates Hispanics as terrorists and feels it’s appropriate to change it to “illegals” is profoundly telling of his views.

Terrorism is already narrowly defined within legal and law enforcement contexts.

This guy is a racist prick who should probably be treated as a terrorist, rather than the people he’s absolutely racially profiling

It’s an “announcement” or press release full of crazy.

Basically Govenor Abott (state govenor of Texas) just declared the migrant crisis with asylum seekers coming up from Mexico an invasion, accused Biden and the rest of the federal government of not responding to the invasion and therefore violating the US constitution.

From there, because they broke the “contract”… he’s saying Texas law now supersedes US law and therefore he’s calling up reservist forces to … well I guess we’ll see what they do.

It’s more political rhetoric and fearmongering about immigrants from the GOP… but the crazy thing is taken at face value… he just declared insurrection against the US

Some extra background, Texas law enforcement types were blocking us border patrol agents from doing there job (and saving migrants)

Yes because we really need to give them something…. It’s awfully unfair otherwise…

Not nearly as scandalous as all the kids his employees have raped.

By employees, I mean priests. Who used their position of trust to groom kids.

unlike the others… I’m glad you took the safe option and skipped the fires fries.

I know it would have been perfect with the fries, though. only thing that’s not :)

Texas attorney general probes connected-car companies’ data privacy practices (therecord.media)

At least four car companies’ data collection and sharing practices are under investigation by the Texas attorney general’s office for potentially violating state law on deceptive trade practices, according to documents obtained by Recorded Future News....

they want the car companies to tell them when you go someplace naughty. like a gay bar or maybe an abortion clinic

Almost certainly true.

But how does it compare to HR hiring staff doing the same?

There are those guys that take the x number of applicants off the top of the stack and discard the rest because “they’re unlucky.”

Now i can hear the screams already. AI is programmed with bias and arbitrary bullshit might be less objectionable.

The reality is the ai is programmed by the HR staff. And inherits their bias any how; but at least an AI can be made to ignore race on the face of it, where humans that are racist can’t.

Remember- never talk to cops.

They are not your friends. They are not there to help, protect or otherwise serve you.

They are there solely to build a case against you, and if they can, they will charge you with anything they find.

They will lie about the law- if they even know what it actually says- lie about what they know. They will twist you up and get you to say anything.

Demand a lawyer and shut the fuck up. Do not consent to a search, do not let them inside. Do not fall for the “if you’re innocent”. demand a lawyer and shut the fuck up. You have no obligation to talk to them. you have no obligation to answer their questions.

It should be noted, that they want that isolation- and they also want people to hate ashkenazi Jews so that maybe they “come home”.

Nothing breeds internal unity like external threats. Cults- and the vast majority of religions use this all the time, to scare people into not leaving.

Time to insist on the cult of Dionysus getting a say.

Wendy’s Vows No Burger ‘Surge Pricing’ After Online Fury (www.thedailybeast.com)

Wendy’s has spoken to its manager after suggestions that it plans to introduce “surge pricing” to its menu received a decidedly frosty response this week, with the company scrambling to clarify that it has no intention of making itself the Uber of fast-food chains.

So to clarify, they’re saying that they’ll roll it out in ‘25 or so. And that it will be only used for discounts.

What they’re not sayin, is that they’re going to take the year to jack prices to 3x normal- incrementally so people won’t notice all at once.

Then they will offer discounts- 50%, maybe.

So even the discounted price will still be 1.5x more costly, while the surge pricing is 3x.

Further, they’ll probably tie the discounts to app use; an app which invades your phone and gives them shitloads of data.

Tl:dr: Wendy’s CEO thinks we’re all dumb.

Oh I’m sure there’s some closet in the pentagon that’s keeping excruciatingly close track.

Too bad nobody listens to closet gremlins.

Polling is opinion, and they all have varied (and usually terrible) reasons for their opinions. But some telling statistics?

nearly half of Americans have little to no savings , while 89% of Americans save, the average savings is ~1000, and 60% don’t have a retirement account

60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

About 50% of people under 65 have trouble affording healthcare- with insurance

All while corporations are netting record profits despite all this.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Because most Americans can’t afford to loose a week of pay?

Because it’s a zero-sum game and most Americans are losing so rich fucks can have their “good economy”.

Biden is so fucking out of touch it’s embarrassing.

‘Only Hamas can defend us’: Israeli raids and Fatah failures boost support in West Bank (www.theguardian.com)

Khalil, a shy 21-year-old whose name has been changed, was arrested in a pre-dawn raid last October for his allegiance to Hamas. But when Israeli forces smashed through the door of his family home, they didn’t tell him why they were detaining him. He was imprisoned for six months without charge, in conditions he described as...

18+ How do things get stuck in the anus?

I have seen a lot of stories online of people getting things stuck in there and doctors having to remove it, even items like cucumbers. I get that an item with a highly irregular shape could get stuck. But if it’s something long and rounded, why can people not just poop it out? Is it because the item isn’t soft enough?

She was trying to politely suggest the guy is a misogynist.

Assuming you’re male, that’s more likely the difference than anything else.

You don’t have to feel the same way, but I recommend learning to recognize that he treats them differently; and that their opinions are also valid will help.

The British museum was set up to preserve artifacts which would have been looted or destroyed, not to mention it’s completely free to enter. Almost everything in there would have been lost (although I’ll admit the Greek stuff seems like it was probably not given)

I guess that’s what you’re referring to as “hate”? but just to clarify… the museums… looted… artifacts. You can try and justify it with “but it was to preserve and protect them and to expose that culture to others”; but at the end of the day, it’s still looting and it wasn’t the British’s artifacts to preserve; and many of the artifacts were sacred to the cultures they came from.

Not that this is a uniquely British offense.
