Very much similar to the Tuskegee experiment. When your opressors experiment on you in the name of science it is logical to distrust the science of your oppressor.
Would any Jew in 1950 have willingly taken a German vaccine?
It’s a diffetent kind of abuse. The concept of climbing the corporate ladder only really exists for executives, not for corporate wage slaves.
As an academic your best career choice is to work your way up in one organization. As an engineer the expected strategy is to hop jobs every 2-4 years.
In (American) business, barring some unions, there is no concept of tenure and it is understood you will be fired the moment you screw up or you will quit once the abuse surpasses your level of tolerance.
Either way, as a worker, expect to be abused by management and peers. As an entrepreneur expect to be abused by creditors, vendors and investors.
The only way to avoid the abuse is to be born wealthy and not work.
Living in LA now and I didn't know they did this until I read through this thread. Gas mowers invade the neighborhood daily. No enforcement means nothing changes.
There’s an irony here. The adamantly pro-nuclear crowd tends to be just as vocally anti-regulation. It’s stranfe that proponents of a “trustless society” are willing to put so much faith in corporations and governments ability to do the right thing, plan for the future or even exist in the future.
Because they wouldn’t do anything, they would just kee the money. During Hurricane Harvey 30,000 people in the vicinity of the billion dollar evangelical mega church iwnes by Joel Olstein were left homeless.
Olstein closed the doors of his church and went on vacation. He got a massive government bailout afterwards.
He also received a massive bailout during the pandemic and stull isnt helping the homeless.
Religion generally does nothing but takes credit. Even mother theresa built a billion dollar “medical” empire while letting patients die of gangrene after breaking bones.
Religious based hospitals area cornerstone of the medical establishment.
Religion has been the second most powerful force in the advancement of the quality of life of humans. Only medical science itself can take more credit.
Interesting historical note, this is how Chef was born.
Adam Jacobs of Chef was running a Puppet consulting company (hjksolutions). He ran into a bug (#1010) that he couldn’t solve and used up a ton of Luke’s time. Luke worked hard on it but couldn’t reproduce it and after devoting a week or two on it told Adam that he was the only one with this problem and would need to pay him as a consultant for any further effort.
Adam was (is) an incredibly pushy jerk and demanded that Luke, who wasn’t making a penny off of Puppet, put his life on hold to fix this for Adam’s customers.
Luke basically said “fuck you, pay me” so Adam started Chef (a billion dollar company).
User’s sense of entitlement is probably driven by many companies astroturfing FOSS.
People are getting used to the freemium model popular in software, apps, games, and the "free" model of gmail/youtube/facebook (where you pay with your privacy).
This is simultaneously a fair point (the Portugeuse were the first slavers) and a miscategorization (puritans/white european invaders were quite racist and violent from the moment they landed on Plymouth rock and began stealing from / killing Natives).
This pro-slavery attitude was huge from you people.
Black people enslaved other blacks in Africa, Latinx shipped them to America where the natives were also enslaving each other. White people put an end to all 3 of these activities, everywhere. This is historical fact.
Welsh, british, scottish, all the same. All three groups were slavers, both of Africans and of the Irish, not to mention countless other Asian cultures.
You rewrite history, white wsshing it to make yourselves out to be the great white saviors despite having participated for many centuries.
“Hey the Africans sold their enemies to us so it must be Ok.”
I have an incredible amount of respect and admiration for Atatürk but he also had his flaws when it came to freedom of speech, expression and religion.
What’s interesting is all of the liberal turks I know (I live in Istanbul) voted for the HDP in 2015 but are also highly critical of their association with PKK and have since switched to CHP.
