What does this actually mean

How does this sort of system function? Kinda sounds like everyone is just an independent contractor then???

this is the system that would emerge naturally if we took all the assets in the USA and split them up evenly between every person, but changed nothing else. everyone owns some of the productive property. so the big organization could get rid of an unruly worker but that worker owns a bunch of equipment and land so they would be hurting themselves financially if they decide they dont want to associate themselves any more.

basically give every single person more leverage than just their labor power

The papers have learned that cancelling the messenger is much more profitable than printing bad news.

Edit: this was in response to the pro publica article, not the continuing Disney derail.

They’re just reverting to their historic mean. I think for a couple decades there was a good faith effort by at least some of the media to be better—idk kind of like the how Warren court is a historical anomaly— but that ran out of gas probably when I was still in high school and we’re just moving along and getting back to how it always was

I think the times basically cheerleading Lori Lightfoot pulling the usual Illinois-Democrat bullshit attacking unions is the grossest poo poo I've seen the paper do this week. TELL US MORE HOW YOU THREATEN PINKO TEACHERS TO RISK THEIR LIVES FOR OUR BRATS.

The lady who wrote the piece was pretty much creaming her pants.

Much like with architecture, the elevation of journalism as a respected and cool profession for smart creative people ends with all the failchildren getting into it and it basically turning into full time failchild daycare

Nah, you can gently caress off. After watching my 55 year old mother die from cancer so bad she didn’t survive the initial tumor removal surgery your efforts to your paraphrased promise as a cudgel are bullshit. This fucker is likely going to be dead in a few months and all the conflicts of interest were already addressed but sure, defend digging up his personal life because you don’t like the Biden admin.

Yes, that's why people are nuts if they are expecting the Biden administration to suddenly start supporting universal health care because they watch someone they know go through the brutal grinding down of the health care system. Biden (as Vice President!) was gonna sell a house to pay for Beau's brain cancer treatment, and that didn't change his views at all.

They're all happy cogs in the machine. They will die for the machine rather than envision an end to it.

It used to be that they would just fact-check "FAKE NEWS"

Now it's also considered a fact-check-able issue if your claim is merely "Missing Context"
