Don't forget the perverted incentive for directors, who are appointed by shareholders, to keep shareholders happy. In a very real sense the more divid...
I was going for the flippant answer "half a brain" as an initial idea, which on introspection isn't even that bad. Happy to learn more about Sulawesi ...
When I was still working for the ministry of finance, they had a tendency to resist right to information requests, leading to those requests becoming ...
The only problem with porn is its simplistic narratives,. Plumber gets sex because woman doesn't have cash, casting director gets sex because she real...
Fidgetting with knobs and switches isn't going to change what is a structural problem. They're dealing with symptoms and if that's the best on offer t...
What about it? In my view, partners will be jointly and severally liable for the partnership, which are also those who have a right to the profits. No...
No, I want to prohibit for-profit corporations in toto. Corporations, eg. entities with limited liability, should only be allowed if they perform a pu...
Governments have always been perpetual, that's their primary nature and not something to be avoided. Government owned companies obviously can't be for...
I have no idea what this has to do with what I'm saying. I'm not arguing for governments to do more than to abolish laws allowing incorporation of for...
There's nothing wrong with partnerships wanting to make profit. For-profit corporations are the problem due to limited liability and perpetual nature....
Decorporate every company. Only companies that are non-profit and fulfill a general public utility should exist and once their goal is reached closed....
But it should be, right? A typical patient in the US is already a mother, over 20, unmarried, relatively poor and attended some college. Oh shit, it's...
Check our the Romans, Greeks and Assyrians who had abortions. Not the Persians. But native Americans did, what we at least know from the 1600s. So yes...
Why is a woman automatically "unhappy" when she wants an abortion? How about she just doesn't want one? Why isn't that a good enough reason? Why shoul...
I think it's a load of bull. Christianity has made abortion a moral issue. It never was one before and all of a sudden wanting an abortion is equated ...
@"unenlightened" I'm not symphatising with reluctant support as your proposed "solutions" don't solve being unwanted pregnant for 9 months and then go...
Aha, for me democratic participation includes activism and (grass roots) organisation and unionisation but good to know it elicits other connotations ...
There's no such thing as Marxism because he continuously changed his view on what ought to be done but his critique of capitalism is very good. Marx a...
Are they unprofitable or are they forced to price their goods lower than they would because of competition from counties that don't have all sorts of ...
Nevertheless, we've seen significant progress in environmental, health and safety standards, labour conditions, welfare, etc. under that restrictive f...
There's nothing inconsistent about it. I'm highlighting the most important difference between the two and why they aren't the same. Yet you prefer to ...
What's shameful is to equate Biden's lawyer's action to immediately call NARA upon discovery of the documents with Trump's refusal to return the docum...
So the question is why you need to be this recalcitrant trying to explain economics to someone who actually worked with asset managers. It makes for t...
As a defensive force you only need to field a third of any offensive force. Assuming EU members will support each other, how far/close are we to such ...
I don't think Marx was so prescient he wrote about problems that didn't exist until 100 years later. The industrialisation accelerated the outsized ro...
That's defined in the statutes of the company and usually lies with the executive board members. But they are voted in by the shareholders, so any sha...
You could do that with a loan too, which will have a pre-defined interest and end date instead of giving the right to perpetually earn whatever execut...
Such politicians are a product of culture. We lack leadership and fidelity towards others. Not in the sense of vision but someone that can bind societ...
Actually, I think Spain is less corrupt in some areas. It's for instance much more open about what it pays for public procurement. Over 80% is publish...
The Netherlands is every bit as corrupt as Spain and Mark Rutte is one of the most unethical prime ministers we've ever had. His opinion on ethical is...

I'm not sure what the benefits are of comparing which attrocities were worse. At some point the difference aren't meaningful and I think slavery, whet...
No snow in the Alps. Watch what that will do to the Rhine come spring and summer. This is fucking up groundwater levels because we're the goddamn star...
