I don’t really get the picture. Is the steps the opportunitys given by money? I guess it’s drawn inconsistent, but I thought the water that’s diverted from the rich flows down to the poor.
Is the parent comment bullshit cause it implies not everyone can be at the top of the stairs, only be dragged down the stairs? (Meaning the poor people won’t benefit from rich people being prevented from being billionaires or something?)
Maybe the rain is the tax burden by income. The umbrellas are subsidies so the rich defer most taxes until the point where they get subsidized. The upper class get smaller subsidies hence the smaller umbrella. The middle class have a high burden of the taxes and the lower class are totally drowning under tax burdens. Only those below the poverty line aren’t shown on here.
There’s something morally wrong with it when you use it as an excuse to pay those workers significantly less. As well, jobs likely were lost, outsourced contracts rarely have the same rights, including leave entitlements, for their workers.
Outsourcing typically happens to exploited countries with comprador governments who bend over backwards to accommodate foreign capital. Often in places where the IMF has dismantled labor laws as part of their “structural adjustment”.
This is the typical colonial Western attitude. It’s also a fantasy. Lots of third world countries managed to climb out of poverty in a few generations thanks to outsourcing.
You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. Tell me how it was outsourcing that led the Chinese government to require any and all foreign development to be Chinese owned, which is what lead to the material base upon which they developed their own domestic industries…
India must be doing great, right about now, huh? No exploited workers anywhere, right?
None of those countries suffered from unequal exchange as a result of their intake of outsourced industries?
Lmaoooo you misread that entirely. I complain about the idiots in my country exploiting workers both domestically and abroad. I congratulate the Chinese on convincing western capital to finance their explosive development.
Even if you compare PPP, they are significantly worse off. Why the fuck are you in a worker reform /c/ trying to espouse the virtues of saving money by sending jobs overseas?
These companies don’t just move to developing countries because the labour is cheaper. The politicians are too, and they wield that influence to stop labour reforms.
Worker reform is important everywhere. You don’t get to call it okay that one group of workers is getting compensated less than another for doing the same job. That’s utter bullshit.
Part of the reason why theyres scrutiny is because Qantus workers are unionized. My coworker from Australia used to work there before moving to the U.S because of marriage.
My manager wanted me to come to the office daily because the laptop I had couldn’t handle the company VPN, which we were suddenly using in our systems.
He gave me some crap about it and reminded me of the ‘office first’ policy at my workplace.
I looked him dead in the face and said, “You can’t force anyone back to the office. You know that it’s not going to fly with the employees. You can try but it won’t work”.
He didn’t look too happy about that, but he knows it’s reality.
Ended up finally getting an new old laptop for the VPN issue, which some other employee left behind, because the budget was “too tight” even though I couldn’t do my work efficiently. And a few days ago I was told I’d be laid off. Also because of the budget.
The change, which became effective in July and was first reported by The Wall Street Journal on Thursday, will create consistency in starting hourly pay across individual stores, said spokeswoman Anne Hatfield, which will lead to improve staffing and customer service.
I’d like to know how lowering pay will “improve staffing and customer service”.
Yeah. We all want something for nothing. Fortunately, there are still enough adults in the U.S. who recognize that just doesn’t work in the real world.
Shut the fuck up. We can make the world a better place if we want to. We are just going to have to drag you and the rest of the simps for the rich kicking and screaming. And you will benefit from our efforts. And just because you will freeload off of us improving the world doesn’t stop me from wanting to do it.
We have enough food and goods to go around if we would just start voting for people who actually believe we can do it. We were so close with Bernie…
