Seriously look it up. If we had a functional media it would be much bigger news. Most of the Democrats sucks so hard in messaging...
Taiwan is China. They're the same people.
It's quaint that you think the United States is still a republic. It's a monarchy, and Trump's handlers are likely moving currently to make sure that when Vance succeeds him, that the Executive branch and a Congress that will be, through the use of naked force if necessary, remain filled with Republican paper tigers to complement the paper tigers in the Supreme Court, settles into the oligarchy the Framers always really intended it to be. The military will largely be used to recreate the American hemispheric hegemony. The National Guard and ICE will be used as foot soldiers within the US to "secure" elections.
The morons that elected that diseased wicked and demented man have destroyed whatever the hell America was. As a Canadian, I can only hope we can withstand this hemispheric dominance and the raiding of our natural resources to feed the perverse desires of the child molesters, rapists, racists and psychopaths that have already taken control of the US.
Doubtless, I will be downvoted by the remaining MAGA crowd here. You know, the guys that pretended they refused to vote Democrat because Bernie wasn't made leader, but are to a man a pack of Brown Shirts eagerly awaiting the time when they imagine they can take part in the defenestration of American society.
No, it was no different with the US. This is an irrelevant story for the whole world outside of the US, because they have been living in this reality for 75+ years. The only nation who is feeling a new pain is the US.
I'm sorry but this article is ridiculous. If I didn't live in the US I'd feel like maybe there would be something to call out, but this is how our companies roll all the time and our current administration is even worse. Nothing to see here.
Correct, the problem is that China is acting more like the US now. Which is more of a problem for the US than for other nations, because we have been taking advantage of our unique status to increase our standard of living at other nations' expense, and that will now be harder. You have it backwards about who should be worried about it. My guess is out of some misplaced feeling of hypocrisy.
Now do USPS.
Paper mail is a waste of time except when it isn't, and for those times pay for FexEx!
Their fines amount to a quarterly rounding error.
so was my last speeding ticket.
The fines should be set high enough to so that the activity that results in them isn't more profitable than doing whatever the law says is the right thing. 400k is probably enough that it would have been better for the company to have given existing part time works a handful of additional hours a week to update price labels across the state.
Fines are not suppose to be excessively punitive or ruinous. If someone was really behaving outrageously or with real criminal intent we have have jails for that. This is that though, anyone who has been in Dollar General knows managements 'vision' how can we do the absolute minimum require to operate a retails store, right down to the bear florescent (maybe led in some newer facilities) tubes for over head light.
hows that again? AC
Lack of regulation - Nope they are getting fined because there are regulations.
Lack of enforcement - Nope they got audited thousands of times and fined!
Now you could argue they were not fined enough, I guess but clearly there is a regulation and clearly the regulators are checking up!
I live 'out in the county', that is dollar store country.
The typical Dollar General is a 60k foot store - sometimes bigger, and there are NEVER more than two employees working. Which means one person on the register and one other person to do any re-shelving, stock keeping, pricing, etc.
No way they are getting all that done.
We need to push for CEOs to be replaced with AI. They'd do a better job and would cost a LOT less.
Start repeating this everywhere and get the meme-makers on it. It will be wonderful to watch them squirm as they suddenly find reasons why AI shouldn't replace a company's most valuable assets: its most highly-paid executives.
A CEO doesn't get paid for any of the work AI does. CEOs collect information from other executives, peers, consultants, and the media and make decisions. LLMs can disrupt the work of consultants, the media, and the employees feeding information to executives, but it's horrible at making good decisions that can be trusted.
