03:59 schestowitz[TR2]; That is a fiction. We are not in an environment where we have small independent companies competing against one another. We may have been like that somewhat 30 years ago but not today. I agree IBM is a dead man walking, but a lot of companies are like that now (hollowed out) see Intel.

03:59 schestowitz[TR2]; We have a government that gives bailouts and prints money with very little restrictions.

03:59 schestowitz[TR2]; Large companies which are basically monopolies buy up smaller companies, strangle them in court, or purchase favorable regulations for themselves from their politicians.

03:59 schestowitz[TR2]; Blackrock, State Street, and Vanguard control 22 trillion in assets and sit on the boards of most companies.

03:59 schestowitz[TR2]; Major media is owned/controlled by a select few and we have rampant censorship.

03:59 schestowitz[TR2]; "Universities" take donations from China and so called "investors" while practicing blatant racism.

03:59 schestowitz[TR2]; Before you start saying look at the stock market, I suggest you look at the national debt, the credit card debt, auto loan delinquencies, and other similar debts. We are in for a wild ride soon.

04:43 IsambardPrince; And that's what the US is now.

05:51 IsambardPrince; He's in the mall shopping with his dog Spunky, and the dog wants a deluxe food and water bowl set with a bunch of features and he doesn't have the money for it, so he gets a credit card. Then by the time he makes it out of the mall he's bought a ton of things that he can't pay for, and then at the end of the month his phone starts ringing off the hook and they start yelling that they want their money.

05:51 IsambardPrince; The only unrealistic part of that is when they come take all the stuff back.

05:51 IsambardPrince; In reality, they don't even want the stuff you bought back.

05:51 IsambardPrince; It has no real value.

05:51 IsambardPrince; Tends not to.

05:52 IsambardPrince; So you filled up a credit card buying a ton of things that have no value, then you owe the bank real money, and it gets worse and worse.

09:34 IsambardPrince; " Britains former Prime Minister Liz Truss has suffered another unprecedented humiliation, losing her seat and being dumped from parliament less than two years after she led the country. "

09:34 IsambardPrince; LOL

09:35 IsambardPrince; The voters didn't even want her as a backbencher.

09:38 IsambardPrince; Does the defeat of Chevron Deference make Taft-Hartley less enforceable?

09:38 IsambardPrince; Probably.

09:38 IsambardPrince; But Taft-Hartley is a very bad law.

09:39 IsambardPrince; It was designed to change things just enough to stop the labor movement.

09:39 IsambardPrince; One of the worst things about it is that it allows States to pass laws that restrict the rights to organize.

09:40 IsambardPrince; I'm happy that I was able to vote to pass a constitutional amendment that bans anti-union laws in the State.

09:40 IsambardPrince; There was no immediate danger of such a State law, but some counties and cities had claimed they passed an ordinance to that effect.

09:41 IsambardPrince; So the amendment certainly nullifies those.

09:41 IsambardPrince; But Taft-Hartley was hardly the worst thing for labor rights in America.

09:42 IsambardPrince; The worst thing for labor was the presidency of Bill Clinton (NAFTA, trade normalization with China and Vietnam), George W. Bush (DR-CAFTA), etc.

09:42 IsambardPrince; Basically they opened up the United States, tariff-free, to the global south.

09:43 IsambardPrince; Where slave labor and no laws to protect the environment meant businesses could just go do all the nasty shit somewhere else while everyone here lost their jobs.

09:43 IsambardPrince; There has to be a certain degree of protectionism before we can even begin to see prosperity in this country.

09:44 IsambardPrince; And one of the few good things about Trump is he is promoting protectionism, and Biden doesn't do anything.

09:44 IsambardPrince; He just sits there and goes blank, like Windows, where the progress bar is moving but the remaining time is going up.

09:44 IsambardPrince; While Xi floods our cities with death (Fentanyl) and our country with debt and joblessness.

22:04 schestowitz[TR2]; Microsoft Corp. has apparently launched a new round of layoffs a month after it was reported that the company was preparing to lay off hundreds of employees from its Azure cloud business.

22:04 schestowitz[TR2]; Geekwire reported Wednesday that the layoffs have affected multiple teams and geographies. Posts on LinkedIn from affected employees show that the layoffs have hit those in product and program management roles.

22:04 schestowitz[TR2]; Officially, Microsoft has not announced a new round of layoffs. Instead, a spokesperson for Microsoft said that organizational and workforce adjustments are a necessary and regular part of managing our business, and that Microsoft will continue to prioritize and invest in strategic growth areas for our future and in support of our customers and partners.

22:10 IsambardPrince; They brought in money because it's cheaper to do things in Mexico, and they could carry your programming for many miles by just cranking up the broadcasting power.

22:11 IsambardPrince; So one result of that was there was a radio preacher that set up a paid programming bloc and you could listen to him throughout most of the southern and southwestern US.

22:12 IsambardPrince; He got in BIG trouble with the FCC.

22:12 IsambardPrince; Because he would call in to the station, on an international phone call.

22:12 IsambardPrince; And the FCC argued that this gave them jurisdiction to do something about him.

22:13 IsambardPrince; So they shut him down, but as I recall, he came back, because he lived so close to Mexico that he just started driving across the border and going to the station's studio, or sending them cassette tapes.
