We all take calculated risks in life. We all get in our cars every day (or take the bus) and there's always that SLIGHT chance we could die in a car crash.

At this stage of the game, it's time to start weighing the options against each other and make a call. We need to consider living with the risk of the virus.

We need to do as much as we can to limit the spread of the virus. Not act like there's nothing we can do about it, which is what Dear Leader wants.

It's crazy just how mucb more successful Destiny 2 has been without Activision as well. They had requirements for X expansions per year just to keep the cash flowing and it clearly hurt quality.
D2 still isn't perfect, but the baggage weighing it down was removed and it's so obvious.

Has D2 really been that successful since Activision left.

Because the subreddit is pretty upset with the shit like sun setting and how the game is turning into a full on grind-fest instead of just 80% of a grind-fest.

Again, the whole reason this was a story was because people thought it was a hate crime given the connotation of a noose. But it turned out to be a literal noose, not a metaphorical one to designate racist intentions. But nice word play to make yourself out like you won an argument or something

I mean, that's the whole point of investigations.

A crewmember sees a noose, they tell NASCAR about it, NASCAR alerts the authorities because they have no idea where it came from, the authorities investigation, they release their findings, we read said findings, we move on.

The alt-right can't move on from this topic because you all believe that Bubba did it purposefully or that it was a hoax because your Dear Leader wants to divide the country as much as possible. The only people that are bitching about it still are those on the right because they can't see the nuance in the situation that "yes there was a noose there" and "yes it also wasn't directed at Bubba" because in their head, "if the noose wasn't there for Bubba, then it's fake news!!!! There was no noose!"

yes. But not a noose as it pertains to a hate crime, which is originally why this story blew up, no just because there was a literal noose. But Im sure you knew that

Pretty sure no one in here is saying there was a noose that was targeted at Bubba because he was black.

Everyone is just saying that there was a noose and that the investigation found out that it was the only pull rope in NASCAR that was like that (they found others tied in knots to make the rope easier to pull, but no others were tied like a noose), but that it was tied months ago and whoever did it couldn't have possibly known that Bubba would eventually get assigned that spot.

You're making a strawman out of nothing.

Buddy, based on how they assign those spots, it was literally impossible to know that he would get that garage. This isnt up for debate.

And that still doesn't take away from the fact that the pull rope was tied like a noose and was the only one NASCAR found in all of their garages to be tied like a noose. They found multiple other pull ropes tied in knots to make them easier to pull, but there was only one that was tied like a noose.

Yes, it was impossible for whoever tied it to know that Bubba would eventually be assigned that stall, but to say "hur dur there wasn't a noose" is factually wrong.

Tied like a noose and was the only one in NASCAR garages tied like that.

Yeah, it wasn't specifically targeted against Bubba, but it still was a rope tied like a noose. There's tying pull ropes to make them easier to grab and there's tying a pull rope to make it easier to grab while making it also look like a noose.

The average employer pays about $12/hour just in non-monetary compensation. You realize that if an employer takes away those benefits from you but increases your wage by $12/hour it's not actually an increase in your pay right? Please tell me you understand this.

"Their wages go up, but their pay wouldn't go up because TeChNiCaLlY compensation stayed the same."

Wow, didn't know that was a bad thing to put more money into workers hands. Oh wait, should have known who I was talking to.

Your assumption here seems to be that publicly-funded healthcare wouldn't drive a sudden and substantial increase in some other non-cash compensation that also gets a sweetheart tax break for some reason.

So its ok that corporations do everything in their power to lower wages and spend money on things that give them tax breaks and get more profit because reasons, but dear god, when you try and put more power into the consumers hands, thats just not allowed at all.

Makes sense, glad we cleared it up that some people just want corporations to control everyone and everything.

I'm not the one who has to respond with the exact same talking point every post even though literally no one ITT has even made the point you're arguing against.

You were saying wages shouldnt go up because non-monetary benefits have gone up. I think health insurance shouldnt be from employers, therefore non-monetary compensation would go down, leaving wages to go up.

Your entire defense of this is hur dur employers didnt want to package health insurance so theres nothing we can do!

You're saying that non-monetary benefits are going up and that's why it's ok wages haven't.

I'm saying that health insurance shouldn't be part of the benefits package that employers offer, as health insurance shouldn't be tied to whether or not you have a "good" job or not.

Why don't you take your own advice before being condescending to people that might be to the left of you.

As a terrible analogy:
Were there a few hundred (or thousand) entities paying for our #1 combos at McDonalds, all at different negotiated (or mandated) payment rates, what good would it do McDonalds to bother posting the price on the menu?

What about the part where you have to have the right burger insurance to shop at that McDonalds and *hope* that the particular person who helped you was in your network. Else youre fucked. And you have no way of knowing that until after it happens and you dont know the prices until after the procedure happens. All of that out of your control because health care is associated with employers so hope your employer made the right deals!

Youre right in that it was a shit analogy though.
