History is littered with the corpses of seemingly immortal companies. The East India Company is centuries gone. General Motors went bankrupt and the name now exists on top of a new corporation. The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company is a shadow of its former dominant self, and Sears Roebuck is dying. Standard Oil and Bell (AT&T) were shattered by the U.S. government.

But I thought the way it worked is a bunch of workers agree to strike if their demands are not met.

That's done by majority vote. If 49% of the employees want to work, they will often be prohibited either because the business requires most people to be working or the company can't run at all (think steel mill) or they'll be physically threatened.

Right, that's why my karma is maxed and you have to post anonymously because it actually makes your posts more visible.

"totally fair and level headed people". This is the "benevolent dictator" fallacy that is thousands of years old.

In the unlikely event that a person can be found that initially qualifies, it won't last. As Lord Acton observed, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

At least 7 political organizations have taken the title of "American Party". The best known of those was popularly called "Know Nothing."

In actual business practice, employees seldom negotiate their wages. They just take what they get. Those who do negotiate, do so with their boss, their boss's boss, and/or someone in personnel.

Unions are blind to individual merit. Those who want unions are slackers or people who see themselves as helpless victims.

In some states, in some companies, union membership is mandatory. Part of pay goes directly to the union. Of the union's portion, a small part goes to wage negotiation and other valid employee concerns, some goes to union thugs to make trouble, and some goes to payoffs to mostly Democrat politicians.

Legally mandated corruption.

You're still embarrassing yourself. I'm embarrassed for you at this point.

You are just embarrassing yourself now - serving more as entertainment than anything else.

To answer your question - Why don't we talk about how badly Windows One sucked. Or that I've done everything you claim iin Windows machines.

But seriously - I know you are getting pissed that people don't understand, and are willing to go down in flames in your support for Windows, but this is getting a little cringy at this point.

Just a simple question - A simple yes or no will suffice.

D you believe that Windows is just as secure as Mac??

Newest question - Why am I wrong in saying it is not? Having extensive experience in Mac and Windows, and a goodly amount of Experience in Linux. My thesis is that any OS can be exploited. There are approximately 100.4 million people using Macs in 2024.

Many like myself have multiple Macs

In addition, many MacOS users use no AntiVirus software.

Mac users are considered less tech savvy than Windows users.

This would indicate that MacOS computers are seriously low hanging fruit, so easy to hack that it would be foolish for the bad guys to exploit.

I am really excited for you to educate me. I'll pass your answer along to the other people who like me, aer wrong and stupidly believe that Mac and Linux are more secure.

In full disclosure, I have a VPN, 2 forms of AV, Block scripts and ads. I'm not foolish enough to believe that Macs are some sort of impermeable fortress. Scan daily and remove the computers from the internet when not in use.

But please, I'm always willing to be edumacated.

A tailgater is endangering the life of the person he tailgates, his own life, and others.

The border collie helps round up the cattle but it would be easier if the rancher knows where the cattle are located to send out the collie. Some ranches can be hundreds of thousands of acres. And that is the main herd. If there are stragglers, they have to be located too.

Border collies generally work with sheep, cows not as much simply because cows don't really give a damn.

But sheep you have to be careful with - an entire flock in the UK had to be euthanized because they figured how to escape their fencing, and if that knowledge spread, it would basically render all farms using that fencing to keep sheep worthless. They apparently are very good at teaching fellow sheep things like that, and it was only a matter of time before the one or two that figured out how to escape taught the rest of the flock, and that flock would then teach neighboring flocks on neighboring farms and so on. It was cheaper to euthanize the flock than to have the entire country's farms re-fenced.

The entire mission is obviously an AI fake. As acclaimed physicist Joe Rogan explained, they crew would be dead once they'd hit the Van Allen Radiation Belt (tm)

That should've been obvious by the fake globe Earth image they reportedly sent back after launching.

The earth is flat. Not a globe. The fact they had to publish this image shows the whole thing is fake.

Bison don't produce as much methane as cows
