By what metric was the USA better than Cuba?

1: didn’t touch that for some reason

2: I am aware they ran on venture capital. You didn’t address where they take their profit from now that they’ve achieved their dream near-monopoly status. That status that would have been impossible without their thousands of employees to begin with.

I can’t speak for everyone but there are a lot of union members and organisers among the ranks of Hexbear. Before I went back to school I used to organise with my local Tennant Union personally, but trying to balance 2 jobs, school, and organising work came to be a bit much for me so I guess we really aren’t that different

$250,000 isn’t a lot of money to the average person

Thats literally 5-6x the median annual income what the hell are you smoking. That is a life changing amount of money to most of the country.

they didn’t take the profit from anyone

They took that profit from the people working there. Profit is the difference between expenses and income. In order to turn a profit companies cannot pay workers what their work earns the company, there has to be a difference. In economic parlance this difference is referred to as surplus value being generated by the workers for the company. If workers were paid what they were worth then the profit margin of that company would be 0% but those people would all be paid more than they are now. Whether you think the workers are entitled to the full value of what they create is an ideological determination that I will judge you for.

That has definitely been the case for any STI testing I’ve had

Why do they argue against themselves and still lose? Who asked for that?

If this is a surprise to anyone I would insult their critical thinking. How could that have gone any other way? Obviously that land was going to be more valuable as single family detached homes in a wildly speculative real estate environment and of course developers would know that. Of course these developers would have influence too, they were Ford’s base in the 905!

I got so used to being in a downvote free environment, having them really makes it easy to quietly quell this stuff

ideology blinds people

What even causes sink holes like this?
