| Topic | The backlash against Columbus Day is a capitalist ploy to take worker PTO. |
| pls 10/14/19 7:22:32 PM #1 | Instead of getting rid of the Holiday, it should be changed to something else but still considered a federal holiday where workers get paid time off. This is anecdotal, but at my current company and many of the companies I know of in my network, the move is to get rid of it as a federal holiday rather than to simply replace it. At my previous job we didn't have Columbus Day off but we did have a separate "Office Holiday" where the office was closed and people were encouraged to take time off. It was a Monday too, since Fridays are already laid back. Workers unite, make sure the backlash against Columbus Day doesn't turn into one less paid holiday. --- Do good. Eat communists. |

And this right here is why communism is doomed to fail in its current form. It has a catastrophic internal error where people eventually take on, with religious fervor, a "class" mentality and always find ways to construe "the others" as part of the forbidden class(es). And the only way to deal with forbidden class(es) or the sympathizers is violence or the threat of violence, like Marx proposed. --- Do good. Eat communists. |

Yeah but "everyone can make more than the median" is either false, or arbitrary because of course everyone in a group can make more money than the median of a completely different group. The context was about workers in the here and now and the median in their current group. My argument is that yes, they will definitely earn more and everyone can earn more with time, because the median changes as you get older to reflect that you do typically earn more with time. --- Do good.

| pls 10/14/19 12:23:55 PM #158 | scar the 1 posted... pls posted...YES. Because if you think critically for a second, it makes sense. Median salaries are broken down by age group, and if you guys would've clicked the link I shared earlier you'd have seen that. It's certainly true that most workers earn more as they get older. A median requires there to be people below the median, but being below the median salary when you're in the prime of your career still means you're earning more than whatever the median is when you're starting out. Which means that most people can save/invest throughout their working career unless they're not giving a shit about their own future. --- Do good. Eat communists. |

But if greed isn't checked, they won't do it. So having the government look into that and encourage more isn't necessarily bad. It happens when a variety of variables are met. You need the profit motive and you also need competent workers. And you can have your pick of the competent workers when you pay whatever it takes. And your workers will be free to do their best work when they're thriving at the job rather than always thinking of the next pay check or the next career they can pursue. The profit motive is not enough in itself, and neither is the assumption that if the workers owned the means of production we'd have Wakanda. --- Do good. Eat communists. |

| pls 10/14/19 12:19:16 PM #155 | 1337toothbrush posted... Are you seriously agreeing with the statement "everyone can earn above median wage"? YES. Because if you think critically for a second, it makes sense. At age 20, the median salary is what, $25,000? $30,000? But as you earn experience, you move up the pay scale and earn considerably more than that. Meanwhile, new employees come in from behind when they are 20 and at that pay scale, which means the median wage remains roughly the same for that age group. But as you earn more, you've far surpassed what was once the median salary for your age group and can save/invest more money. In fact most workers move up into the highest income brackets for at least one year in their working careers. As a household, if you are diligent and intentional with your career you will certainly earn more than the median salary. --- Do good. Eat communists. |

| Topic | Bernie and institutional racism |
| pls 10/14/19 12:05:23 PM #35 | @The_Admiral Don't get me wrong, I agree with you that there are many who are really aiming for communism rather than just making things more palatable and fair. But imo we should leverage their push to our own advantage in order to get more people plugged into the capitalist system. If capitalism is benefiting more people, there's more people who can take a stand against the extremism of the 20th century. Both regressive left and alt right will have less disenchanted people picking an extremist side, because more people will be benefiting financially. It's also a fun exercise to consider a world where more workers benefit more from profit. Let's take an extreme example in Apple. Apple has some $250,000,000,000 in cash that they don't know how to spend. Apple employees some 80,000 Americans. Imagine if Apple decided to invest directly into those Americans with that cash that is otherwise burning a hole in their pocket. What kinds of new products and innovations would come out of a supercharged workforce that is empowered to work for the passion/pleasure rather than to just pay their bills? $250 billion divided across 80,000 American workers is a lot of money per worker. $250,000,000,000 / 80,000 = $3,125,000. Apple could literally mint each of its employees as a millionaire and still have over $100 billion in the bank. Slap me if I missed a zero somewhere. But the point isn't to have the government go in and give that wealth evenly, the point is that Apple does have money to invest more into its employees who will then produce better work and stimulate the rest of the economy. But if greed isn't checked, they won't do it. So having the government look into that and encourage more isn't necessarily bad. --- Do good. Eat communists. |
