  • If you have to point to one single problem it’s shareholders, Dodge vs Ford (1916) established shareholder supremacy, so the point of any company isn’t to produce widgets or employ people or pay the CEO, it’s to produce value for the shareholders, end of story. All things serve this master purpose.

    I worked at a privately held $1b manufacturing company recently, they were doing record profits, cut employee bonuses based on some bullshit metric we “failed to hit,” all the money was just pouring into the owning family’s pockets. Their private helicopter trips were the purpose of our labor. Their shopping excursions to Europe. Sadly, this is a highly politically active family in conservative politics, funding the Heritage foundation over decades.

    Eh I’ve spoken to Biden personally about gay rights, dude’s not bigoted and leans into the progressive catholic church. His wife being a physician doesn’t see abortion as murder I don’t think. His conservative tendencies are that he’s establishment - he thinks he’s still playing the same football game they’ve been playing since he was a kid. He’s neoliberal as hell as is the entire Democratic leadership, which turns people off.
