Of course. Markets respond to company profits and losses, not employee profits and losses. Layoffs, low wages, and buybacks boost share prices, we all know this! As long as a few people will pay big money, those who benefit don't care if most people can't afford anything. To me, this is one of many signs chasing higher GDP all the time largely just enriches the wealthy further while doing nothing for most people.
That's how they did the non-targeted (carpet) bombings. These were three guided, precision strikes on a group that pre-cleared their travel arrangements on a specific route at a specific time with the IDF in advance, even targeting vehicles with WCK logos specifically marked on top. The outcome is exactly what they wanted: no food aid to Gaza at all.
Now they just have to pretend to have a study and bury the topic for a year or whatever like they do with every other atrocity when speaking internationally, which the media will take at face value even though officials and IDF members have been well-documented, calling for Palestinian people to be wiped out, their restrictions on aid have always been horrific and absurd, and settlers were blockading aid trucks with "raves" to prevent aid getting in.
Western nations will sanction any other country for a fraction of what Israel has done, but instead it seems our leaders are content to let this play out and gradually push more and more for the replacement of the prime minister with someone just as bad or worse when it's all over, for an optics upgrade (since the Netanyahu "brand" is burnt now).
I hope this law is why I've noticed Rainforest Alliance seals on cheaper chocolate brands recently and not that Rainforest Alliance has lowered their standards. (I looked it up a year or two ago and RA's site explicitly stated that they don't allow the seal to be used if they're aware of worker exploitation.) I guess it must be a lot cheaper for corpos to get that on their labels than if they used the Fair Trade seal.
Is that the newspaper that got their papers stolen or were raided or something the day they were going to run a story on the local sheriff, or is this a whole other bizarre confrontation between cops and print media?
If you're referring to universities as corporate, then yeah more or less. It's a con game. When issues like this persist and worsen for a long time (I first heard about a more benign form of this issue a good 20 years ago), it's safe to assume that's because powerful people want it that way. Public anger is useful as long as it's directed at responsible parties who get real benefits, not victims of a con. This is the result of corporate and public governance based on numbers and not people.
Adisaputri and Ralph filed a complaint with the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission in 2019 but say it got them nowhere, even though human rights commission documents submitted to CBC News by Ralph show that a director for the company, when speaking to an officer, admitted to having a no-children policy.
"They basically ignored us for two years," he said. "And then at the end of the two years just went, 'No.'"
Looks like there might be more going on here than backlogs (which are bad enough on their own).
No, it's in the marketing material sent abroad to recruit students for the benefit of post-secondary institutions that use them to plug gaps in funding. It's been reported on for a long time how they're exploited.
I found the last one a lot more authentic-sounding and a decent compliment, honestly. But I don't know, are people really expecting to say/hear flowery speeches along the lines of a bad pick up line?
I'd understand and be open to a blanket ban or restrictions on all algorithmic short form media, but that's not what this is. The rationale for the US ban is supposed to be privacy and limiting foreign influence, not concerns over algorithms or they'd have to come up with a reason they're not banning all the other algorithmic short form media out there. Singling one company out, as the EFT and others have pointed out repeatedly, does nothing about privacy and security issues that are at least as bad with TikTok's competitors.
This is a combination of censorship (particularly of pro-Palestine content, which many TikTok users are defiantly and persistently supporting even though it's been severely restricted there), and probably some pandering to certain groups. I'm getting increasingly concerned with this idea I keep seeing people espouse this borderline fascistic idea that rather than encouraging people to develop media literacy, we should just censor all information they see, as if long-term censorship in sanctioned corporate media didn't set the tone for so many of the problems we're facing now.
Without careful, organized action by regular citizens, this will be treated as yet another opportunity for the wealthiest high rollers to shore up assets-- especially since they've long had the power to adjust markets to their whims.
They probably mean grammar, since most Google operators do work. If there's a specific difference in search syntax (other than bangs) though, I'd love to know what I've been missing.
If you connect to the wrong tower, can't they get IMEI info? That won't include OS, but it will give phone model/mfr and other details. I remember reading about regional police forces or intelligence agencies gathering data in North America at least (and they were explicitly gathering personal & usage data too, to see if they could find criminals supposedly).
Wait, is she thinking that's how you welcome a witch or is that how she believes witches welcome people? I couldn't find an attached article and this is bugging me now...
edit: actually I thought you were replying to the folks who were talking about inflation, but now I'm not sure what you're replying to, so maybe disregard the rest of this comment
Inflation dropping just refers to the rate at which prices increase slowing down, not prices themselves going down. Unless regional and federal governments do something, lowered inflation only means relative stability at current price levels.
Workers with higher incomes are definitely buffered from a lot, but they easily have more in common with people making 30k than with people who are set up for life. Further, people making 30k have more in common with higher income workers than they do with people with no current income who are struggling with being unhoused. Also, everyone living as part of a community suffers together from the increased crime, health issues, and lack of opportunities promoted by economies with extreme class hierarchies.
