I don’t have a problem with people who create value and become wealthy. They earned it and created good jobs, more power to them.

Hedge funds, most Private equity, etc can go fuck themselves. They strip wealth and destroy things.

wintermute_oregon,

Hedge fund. He doesn’t care about the employees or the company. Just the money he can make trading the stock.

wintermute_oregon,

Most of them are not. That’s the beauty of a cash cow like Google. They’re working on things that may be profitable in the future. By cutting the future, you’re cutting future growth.
It’s why I dislike hedge funds. They’re stripping value instead of creating value.

wintermute_oregon,

I question undercover work. To me it often comes off as entrapment or just shitty police work.

wintermute_oregon,

To me it’s a sign of how out of whack the stock market is right now. Lemmy created the Reddit experience at a fraction of the cost. Yet Reddit spends millions a year doing it.

wintermute_oregon,

They also lost federal funds unrelated to their BLM support. Looks like death by a thousand paper cuts.

wintermute_oregon,

No, the article very clearly shows you are wrong.

You said the majority of prisoners were going to private prisons. That is false.

wintermute_oregon,

I am not flexing at all. It is what it is. You haven’t touched a nerve at all. Low-income people don’t grasp how much we pay in taxes since they don’t pay anything close to what we pay in taxes. It’s why they repeat buzzwords like tax the rich or the rich don’t pay their fair share when we do.

It refutes your statement because you didn’t cite anything and just babbled. You are free to post a counter cite.

Also your claim about private prisons was wrong as well. About 8% of the prison population is in a private prison.

So far everything you have said is wrong.

wintermute_oregon,

Most new prisoners are being sent to for-profit prisons.

Cite

That’s why blue states are seeing their population numbers increase and housing is getting tougher to find.

lol you don’t know jack shit about me and my net worth or my donation habits

I know we are not in the same bracket. Not even close. Not in income or wealth. If you have to work to make a living then we are not in the same boat.

wintermute_oregon,

Hahaha I know the 8% figure you’re talking about and it’s not that. No you don’t. As you are wrong once again. The total prison population of private prisons is 8%.

sentencingproject.org/…/private-prisons-in-the-un…

Private for-profit prisons incarcerated 90,873 American residents in 2022, representing 8% of the total state and federal prison population. Since 2000, the number of people housed in private prisons has increased 5%.

wintermute_oregon,

I am not sure if a Moped gang would make me move or just laugh.

I wouldn’t live in New York because it’s New York. It’s fun to visit but I would never want to deal with all the BS on daily basis.

wintermute_oregon,

I never had a Montreal bagel. I must seek this out now.

Same here. I much prefer Chicago style pizza. If you want to punish yourself, try a St Louis pizza.

New York has shitty weather, too many people, too much traffic, and everything is too expensive. I will admit there is a lot to do, but I don’t want to fight waves of people and cars trying to do anything.

wintermute_oregon,

Not sure you read the article. He took a plea deal and took a lesser charge.

wintermute_oregon,

Mcdonald’s is going away from self-refill. You can still refill it but an employee will do it.

Until the merger, Boeing was engineer-driven. They were well known for safety first and design over cost.

www.cnn.com/2024/01/30/business/…/index.html

There are hundreds of articles on this topic and you rant without knowing the topic.

wintermute_oregon,

We use to have a fat burger that closed pretty quick. A five guys moved in and it’s been going strong for 10 years

wintermute_oregon,

One article I read said he likes to fire whole teams and then see which people are asked about. Those are the ones he rehires. If nobody misses you then you were doing a job of value.

From a human level, this is just shitty. It isn’t the way to treat people.

wintermute_oregon,

Not permanent. He will lose his security at some point. Obama changed the direction of how long people keep secret service details.

Personally, I think they should keep them for life. Yes it is a tax payer expense but for their service, I think it is a good expense.

wintermute_oregon,

👍

wintermute_oregon,

So which one is it? Do you now think they shouldn’t be lifetime or do you agree with Obama? I think I was very clear on the topic. Which part did you find confusing?

Here is what I said

Personally, I think they should keep them for life. Yes it is a tax payer expense but for their service, I think it is a good expense.

wintermute_oregon,

Citadel is an interesting beast. Ken is an interesting man. To be fair, they hire the best of the best of the best. They don’t care about anything else other than how good you are. As such they have a lot of diversity at Citadel.
