  • Refuse and make them fire you if they care that much.

    Wouldn’t this still impact one’s ability to collect unemployment? In some states at least, I believe there’s a distinction between employees fired with cause versus without cause, although I admit I’m no expert on this subject.

    EDIT: This article states that unemployment kicks in if the employee lost their job through no fault of their own or quit for “good cause.”

    This other article states that depending on the circumstances and the state you worked in, you may be able to collect unemployment if you are fired from your job. Whether you can collect unemployment depends on the circumstances of why your employment was terminated.

    Good luck arguing for refusal to return to office as a “good cause!”

  • Except they didn't. Whomever [sic] purchased the stock initially did, and often that amount is a shadow of what the stock is currently traded at.

    This ignores two other very important roles that subsequent shareholders play:

    • Give initial investors the opportunity re-deploy their capital elsewhere when they choose to do so.
    • Signal the value of the company’s equity, in real time, on the open market. When the stock is trading above IPO price (as your rebuttal implies), this enables the company to raise more capital by borrowing against its equity and/or selling shares of its own stock.

    In light of these critical roles, it’s vastly unfair to say that shareholders contribute nothing to the delivery of goods and services—quite the opposite.

  • I agree, the fediverse is not immune to certain types of problems that come with wider adoption and concentration of power in the hands of the most popular instances; however, the fact it’s rather trivial for other instances to sprout up is its own sort of booster shot against any kind of bullshittery that royally effs the users.
