I am a former correctional officer of the texas department of justice and this exact same situation happened and I too stood by and listened as it happened. I helped escort the man from his cell to medical. I stood by listening to the other guard talk about how much of his ass he would be kicking. I stood there as they took him into a cameraless backroom and listened as they beat that man handcuffed. I stood to stop it, thoughts of pulling my pepper spray and going in there and just letting loose. A sergeant told me to sit back down and I did. I was not physically overpowered. I sat back down, and I listened. The only difference in this is that my victim didn't die. I reported it afterwards. I reported it to the warden, to the state, to the media. Warden tried to reassign me back under the command of the person I accused in the most dangerous part of the prison. The state sent an investigator but nobody talked but me, not even my victim. I sent everything I had to local media and prison rights groups and heard NOTHING back. No one cared. It happened all the time, it was sanctioned, it happens in every prison in this country. The only difference is that this man died and the countless others did not.

I look at those 14 names and I cannot help but feel I deserve to be on it. I was never punished for my cowardice. I quit, I say ACAB, I tell my story but I was not and never will be punished for my inaction because no one cares about an inmate being beaten by a guard unless he fucking dies.

Yes. Borders are dumb.

Institutional vs anti institutional. Dems are institutional and the institution sucks. Trump is a sledgehammer. He promised alot of sledgehammering. Not good, but that's irrelevant. The Dems need to stop protecting the broken system of neo liberal economics that fucking Regan invented and chasing the phantom center right vote.

Aka. swing left or die.

So every game featuring the M16 is "about" every event ever involving an M16. Giga brained.

Is literally nobody going to mention the fact the title of this post says "on October 7th" as if the game is about Oct 7th when it infact was released in 2022. The posters a liar, the article is a liar both to make this seem worse than it is.

Oh no an action shooter where the brown people are the heros? Stop the god damn presses.

How about mundane spelling mistake bans?

Ain't no arguin with a boot licker who cant answer the question "Did he bring 20 million value to the company". No. He did not. He did 0 of the work that made the company any money. He was worthless. Worse than worthless, he was an active drain. And then he got drained like he deserved.

Mhm and after paying cost of materials, rent, taxes, electric, waste disposal, maintenance and other operational employees required for the procurement and sale of that widget, is the worker ever paid for the value of that widget minus those things? No, because at the end there is a lil goblin on top sucking the excess profit. Not for the good of the business, not for future savings and preparedness for slower times. Just a guy who said "I make dis salary". Or in a corporation its a gaggle of goblins. Tell me, what work does jeff bezos do to deserve his salary? what did this united CEO do that earned him his wage that justified what he took from his workers. That money has to come from somewhere and thats part of the excess profit. In short, You missed somethin in your list of things the company has to pay for. The goblin skimming off the top.

Simplify then. You didn't reply to the post. 0/100 F. See me after class.

Buddy it doesn't matter what you ment when what you said was not a valid reply to the guy you was talking to. Might as well have said "the sky is purple". It doesn't matter if it is or isnt or why you said it or what you ment. It was not on topic silly.

Here. Lemme not be pedantic for 5 seconds and im going to ask simple questions and expect simple answers.

A worker works in a widget factory and makes a widget. Turning some raw material into the widget. At the end of the day, is the worker paid the value he produced, meaning minus the raw material cost because obviously.

You seem like the kinda guy to own the art of war. Instead of going in with "this is my enemy and I would like to understand my enemy" you go in as a human with a soul and such.

That's not what I nor the person you were talking to ment. We are talking about the person in the picture who put their whole name on the exact thing your talking about. Are you really going to try and pretend you understood that and replied appropriately?

I hope you can self reflect enough to see what a silly position you argued yourself into. I'll let you marinate in it.

Hey instead of sitting here arguing with a layman about it, how would you like a book about it?

And crazy enough, it's free!

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I argue on Lemmy on company time.

Workers produce the thing. They market the thing, they transport the thing and they sell the thing. And then the boss scrapes off the top of that whole process. That's immoral. The boss should make the money he works for. Not that his money works for via investing. Because money don't work. The very nature of hiring someone, making them work and paying them less than the value of that work is exploitative and immoral. Anyone who does so is a scumbag.

See here's the thing. Your trying to bait into a numbers game. I'm telling you the numbers game inherently by its nature underpays it's workers. There can't be a billionaire without the workers producing billions that they don't get back. As for overworked, it's Elon god damn musk. Famous for overworking his employees, especially his migrant workers who depend on his employment for their visas. Talk about not understanding how money and business works.

The actual post. The picture. The OP. Original picture. That one. Not the one your talking about. The one in the picture.
