@kinderorchestra Can we have something similar but with garlic?

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@Eva38523550 @ZelenskyyUa Come on now, you know that state/country/nation are pretty much synonyms, especially conversationally.
We don't freak out over the phrase "There is something rotten in the state of Denmark" either.

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@EulerID @iLepikVonWiren @Democracy631 I think its because expropriation laws can be challenged and dragged out and they're not really built for getting rid of specific people. What they need is a targeted national security based mechanism, which i think is what they're making.

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@Ver10920 Ah, i see. Mystery solved!

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@miranowhere Completely agree. Once russia has been properly partitioned, maybe we can have some trade relations with the states of Muscovy.

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@Excalibur890 @visegrad24 Sure would! Go ahead and try. We've been hosting FirePoints solid fuel factory for about a year now, where have you been? You gonna try and stop us?
Russians can't do shit.

@ArieWindmill @IntCyberDigest Italians only have a strange obsession with rules in so far as they obsessively ignore them

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@JoeC4281 @keith369me @Pirat_Nation Well i am not going to argue with that, other than to say that Denmark whilst being maybe the best, still isn't good enough. Also paying politicians and people in positions in power well is of course not a panacea either, but it is a lever that can be used.

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@JoeC4281 @keith369me @Pirat_Nation As nice as it is dunking on politicians, paying them little unfortunately opens the door to them being tempted to corruptly making money on the side.
A high wage is to an extent necessary to keep them singularly loyal.

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@RealSchmebulog @Pirat_Nation Because he has a track record of doing so. Amazon employees sure as hell aren't being paid a decent wage and they've set it that low for a reason. I don't mind billionaires, i am not an eat the rich guy, but to me this is very transparant and follows a track record.

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@TheWr0ngJuan No, having a decent wage AFTER taxes would be life changing. Do you really think Amazon isn't going to suspend pay raises after this?
And sure, losing that tax is "trivial" when you look at percentages, but in dollar terms you are stil losing millions, probably billions.

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@brandonbaskin @Pirat_Nation Sure but he's got a bad track record and so i wager we are right to suspect. Besides, i see no problems with low income workers being taxed IF what they are left with is reasonable. The tax should not be considered as coming from them, but from their employers.

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@Drew_2theMax @Pirat_Nation True, but i suspect he's still got enough shares and influence to have meaningful sway, and in any case this is Jeff Bezos, known forn putting workers through grueling shifts at amazon warehousing and inventing scream-boxes, not exaclty Karl Marx.

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@RinoTheBouncer I disagree with using that format, it looks like shit and it doesn't make your statement the least bit more interesting.

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@MelTheRockQueen @in_vivoo @IntCyberDigest Yeah, they definitely aren't perfect, but who are, really? They're improving, i will give them that.
But yeah, the Japanese are not and never have been brainless.

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@Remedy8404 @Pirat_Nation Roads? Fire departments? Police? Food and drug safety? Air traffic control? Environmental regulation? Natural disaster monitoring? Weather services? GPS? Defense? Sewers? Public schools? I think the lower income earners benefit most from the public school system.

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@L5742447586984 @Grokit1756911 @Pirat_Nation Jeff Bezos has almost no track record of being altruistic, quite the opposite. This is not about giving workers a break, it never is with this guy. Ask yourself, if it was, why isn't he personally paying taxes then? Why is he hiding his wealth off shore?

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@Grokit1756911 @Pirat_Nation Do elaborate.

[subnet001 @subnet001]

@HarJac2 @IntCyberDigest Well, i might just be wrong then.
