The only people who think this are the companies' managers, HR, and of course owners.
There is a direct correlation between the decline in labor union participation rates and the shrinking of the middle class. There is so much data to show that emplpyees represented by a union are better compensated for the hours that they work. Countries with strong unions enjoy much better labor protections and benefits than workers in the US get.

No, my post doesn’t imply that so you can relax with the knee jerk response nonsense.

🥱 no one’s forcing them to be there. They want to work. Why is this so difficult to understand?

Want to know what the punishment will be in the Restrict bill? $250k to $1 million fine, and up to 20 years in prison. Also will be a federal crime.
Sounds a lot worse than 3 days to 5 years.

Yep. I can't imagine it's all that healthy nor fulfilling being persistently pissed off at the rich, seeing everything in life as class.
At least reddit doesn't represent the majority, especially in government. I can't imagine it working out long term.

Is that what you really want? Everyone to be exact equal? What do you want?

It's not getting a lot of attention though. I tried looking up the Restrict bill and barely see anything in the news about it. Most only make fun of the hearing, but no one was addressing the actual bill.
Also, Reddit has been completely barren about the bill as well. Most Redditors are still in favor of the bill because they think it's just about banning Tiktok. Funny enough, Tiktok is the platform where it is most talked about. Not Reddit, not YouTube, not mainstream news, but Tiktok. Really makes you wonder why they want to ban it so badly.

Two points there.
First, breaking up a company isn't a plan to keep it small forever, in the same way that pulling weeds doesn't imply some insane belief that you've conquered weeds forever.
Second, this isn't some "Oh dear, I say chaps, Alibaba has gotten rather large and it needs to break up" on the part of Alibaba. China doesn't allow corporate independence anymore than they allow personal independence, and after Jack Ma had to be "re-educated" for speaking truth to power, there has been a push to keep companies in line.
Clearly some people in power believe that Alibaba needs to be smaller and more manageable, but not for the sorts of reasons that we might hope to see in regards to big tech in the West.

You think they would have enough knowledge and money to invest in renewable energy and compete with other companies.

I doubt anyone is failing to "get" this. Most people having not been born yesterday remember our last few elections being heavily influenced by China and Russia via American competitors to Tik Tok. Singling out Tik Tok does nothing for American citizens.

I think they’re more against the bill? But Tucker did play a clip of AOC being against a TikTok ban in general and basically said she’s right, while also saying that she’s still anti American and promotes war against Russia and that the viewer should hate her
But I don’t see how TikTok can be banned without setting a precedent for banning any foreign tech that has the potential to be a future security threat. And that’s what people against the bill do not want

So the War on Coal was a success.
Though Germany and other countries have resorted to burning coal over the last year after cutting off Russia's supplies.

I really reallly hope Framework succeeds. Their entire DIY repair/upgrade your own stuff is so consumer friendly, especially this case where you can repurpose your old parts into a little media server.

Reply to comment by Low-Restaurant3504 in The guy behind the viral fake photo of the Pope in a puffy coat says using AI to make images of celebrities 'might be the line' — and calls for greater regulation by Lakerlion
Even if he actually meant it(which I doubt, his brain probably just automatically said "celebrities" due to context of the situation), It is way easier to make deepfakes with celebrities, than with average people, because celebrities have way more available data(photo, video, audio) on them than average people. It makes sense for the line to be celebrities, because deepfakes with average people is more technically difficult(availability of data), so chronologically hyper-real deepfakes with average people is further down the line, so by regulating at celebrities you also prevent deep fakes with average people. And wtf is your comment? The way you split hairs about his wording in such aggressive manner was weird. Try visiting a therapist.
