That’s patently not true. The HR department has dumped two choices in your lap and you literally have to choose between them.

It sucks, and is something we absolutely need to fix in the future… but ignoring reality won’t help anyone.

You seem to be responding to the wrong person. Either that or you’re just very very confused. I’m just saying the person I’m responding to is only reading part of the statement in question before having their knee-jerk reaction.

Congrats, you got 30% more this time! Go a little further now.

I assume you read about 15% of the response before deciding to push your glasses up on your nose and “Um, akshually”.

It was about more than just CEO pay.

There’s also a reason most of those militant groups end up with authoritarian leadership… because that capitalist class is usually bankrolling them.

Don’t you think she looks tired?

Who knew maintaining a genocide was so cheap!

And I think it’s pretty clear I’m not. And it seems pretty clear the OP wasn’t either.

So… are you just stating random things for the fuck of it, or did you have an actual reason for bringing up a non-sequitur?

They didn’t write the title.

They… they did?

Aren’t healthcare costs higher because their last years are so much worse? It’s not like you just drop dead right after your healthiest years, you decline gradually and expensively.

You don’t use a turn signal when parallel parking?

It is what we make of it.

You could always use the metric system, that was always allowed. Most food (I’ve seen) has both imperial and metric measurements. Most digital measuring devices and lots of analog ones will have options for both. Speedometers generally have both.

Really, the only one stopping you from using the metric system in your daily life is you. Unless of course you’re saying you want other people to use it. Which is a distinctly different proposition.

It was a private company (owned partially by Wilson Fisk and Tony Stark) in the comics.

Except NATO wasn’t the aggressor.

Stop socialism, but also stop taking care of only yourself!

So don’t be socialist, but also be socialist.

And you wonder why people say you don’t make any sense.

Because they have a strong culture of “I want what I want, and everyone else can get out of the way”. It’s easier to group together when that sentiment is “I want other people to get fucked” than “I want to help better my country and my fellow citizens”. Weren’t there something like three progressive parties in the last election that, instead of forming together to form some kind of coalition, decided to go all in on themselves and split the vote in such a way that they all got fucked?

Doesn’t help that they only seem to really go for what they want when they’ve already lost it, instead of fighting for the future before things actually get bad. Plus a feeling of “If we just have a massive generic protest, we’ll get what we want!” even though they seem to keep having to do it over and over and over, with limited long-term change.

He didn’t really start from scratch, though. He used connections and training he had from before he embarked on this “experiment”.
