would rather watch it die so it can be replaced with real jobs that people can live off of
A faster way to do that: minimum wage laws that require people are paid a wage they can live off of.
The’ve tried the whole “let’s not pass laws to increase minimum wage, people will just not take jobs that don’t pay enough” for decades. Jobs still exist that pay below poverty (minimum wage).
If we agree that what they are doing is garbage and shouldn’t be able to exist, why are they arguing against doing something that would prevent it from existing?
You seem really offended at the idea that “someone who works a job should be able to afford living” for some reason…
Why can’t we just have a discussion without insults
Let’s be honest, “I don’t eat fast food so they should be allowed to pay slave wages” isn’t really a compelling discussion with nuanced talking points.
Why is it on the shoulders of the desperate to not take any job they can get, and on the shoulders of the desperate to not get whatever food they can afford and have time for in between their 3 jobs?
You know what would also kill the business model of “under pay and over work staff for low quality results then just replace them”? Laws preventing such behavior.
Collective action? Now that sounds like communism to me…
CileTheSane@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•New Zealand MPs who performed haka in parliament given unprecedented punishmentEnglish5·3 days agoThis is akin to randomly bellowing out the national anthem in the middle of a voting session but with more bite. I’d expect somebody doing that to be sanctioned too.
With the harshest punishment ever given within their government?

What about if citizens are detained and deported to foreign prisons without due process, all while blatantly ignoring the orders of judges?

What does that mean?
Freedom of speech? People are being detained, arrested, and deported because they said things on their phones that are critical of the president.
Freedom of religion? People are being forced by law to follow the rules of “Christianity”.
Freedom of association? Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is being outlawed. Better not associate with minorities or “Libs” or you risk retribution.
Freedom to Travel? If you think being freely traveled to El Salvador counts…
Freedom of privacy? People are being harassed in bathrooms to “prove” their gender (how the hell do you do that?)
Life? People are being denied necessary life saving medical treatment due to that lack of Freedom from Religion we talked about earlier.
Liberty? People are being detained and deported without due process
Persuit of Happiness? LGBTQ people having their protections stripped away and need to hide who they are.
Other than the “freedom” to have people around you openly carrying deadly weaponry while shopping at a grocery store, what freedoms do Americans have that Canadians lack?

I’m guessing it was made by someone who identifies as a Liberal, seeing as according to the diagram it’s the only correct choice, as everything else is closer to Fascism.
Also note: while a diagram can help explain an argument, it is not an argument by itself, as there is no reason for someone to believe it is true by default.
Sounds reasonable, but you wouldn’t call it a “logic puzzle”.
It’s not a puzzle. It’s just wrong.
“Which of the following is a mammal:
A) rock
B) time
C) verb
D) Enui”Is not a puzzle.

When I first started using Linux I was impressed with how easily everything seemed to work. Then over time I started to get annoyed with all the things that I had no idea how to fix without looking up, and thought about going back to Windows.
Then I used windows again and was immediately reminded of all the stupid bullshit I had to constantly fight with and forgot about because that was just the norm when windows is the only OS you ever use.
