At this late date, you say that? ROTFLMAO!!!

"Successful businessmen" do not have six major bankruptcies. And then there's Trump U (convicted as a fraud), Trump Steaks, Trump...

And you can listen to a whole speech by him, and tell us he's not senile and demented?

to their revenue and share price? This *is* the company keeping the US economy and the stock market afloat.

Sorry, a ad hominem would not be what I did, since I *quoted* him, and "enlightened self-interest" is a pure libertarian phrase.

WHY is there lead in them at all? And why is the quantity increasing?

Nice try. Who's paying you to post this idiocy?

Bzzzt, thank you for playing.

Had you even bothered to look, you'd have seen that the salary of the largest union, the AFL-CIO head is about $350k, less than the President of the US. "Lavish lifestyle"? Show me a big company CEO that takes down less than $1M/yr (plus stock options).

"Union contributions"? What's that, other than union dues? And *those* are typically 1%-2% of your salary, regarless of what Faux wants you to believe.

BULLSHIT. In 1974, 24+% of the US labor force was unionized. Now it's barely 10%, and those are mostly government jobs, because the Friedmanites outsource everything, and "you're now an independent contractor, not an employee".

Take your propaganda away, "libertarian".

They didn't "exercise their free will", they took what they could find. As a computer professional - retired now - I was out of work for almost five fucking years during the W Bush recession. Instead of saying "he's out of work, we can hire him cheaper", HR - mostly outsourced now - says "well, you're not fresh" (that's a direct quote), and won't even look at you.

You should turn off Faux Noise and get out of your basement occasionally.

In his 1978 book, Working, Studs Terkel noted that a then-recent study said that 80% of *everyone* wasn't just unhappy with their job, but actively hated it.

47 is looking out for the long-term interest of the 95%, and not just the billionaires? Really? Hey, I've got this bridge for sale...

And we are assured of this by an anonymous coward, who is *surely* not just parroting their politically correct party line, but is speaking with loads of actual evidence from other economists. /s

From the Anthropic lawsuit, they said their revenue was about $5B... and were operating at a loss.

Oh, and data centers? I read that they might be good for, um, three years, before they're outdated...

First, where's all the people worring about China's falling birthrate, and the headlines about "there won't be enough workers"?

Second... and all the people who are put out of work will live where? And pay for food and internet how?

You want an example? 15 or so years ago, google news would show me headlines from around the world, including, for example, the Asia Straights Times, the Hindustani, and the Scotsman. Now, I can't remember the last time I saw a piece from the Asia Times, and I've just today seen the *first* thing from the Hindustani in years... and that was because of a launch of an underwear line by Kardassian.
