  • And this is how you get a completely sociopathic system held up by seemingly “moral” or “good” people.

    In a general sense it’s hard to argue against unnecessary care. After all it’s right in the name. It’s unnecessary. And it’s hard to argue against managing personnel based on performance. Trying to audit every decision could be time consuming and expensive. Just put in a KPI (Key Performance Indicator) with respect to cost to company. If you approve $X amount of claims and your coworker approved $Y, when they need to downsize or trim the fat, you just look at X and Y and let go the one that approved more claims.

    Each step can be kinda argued and supported in a vacuum. And that’s where these CEOs wilfully sit. They don’t explicit tell employees to deny more claims. They just make it more lucrative at every step to do so.


  • In all honesty it could help loosen regulations on workers rights. Flipping burgers and the boss is on some shady shit trying to schedule you a ton of hours? Fuck it. You can quit and still survive, and possibly thrive.

    Not that I’d advocate loosening those regulations. Just that UBI itself could alleviate some current issues.











  • Sounds like what they mean is that they don’t want the topic of jury nullification to factor into a decision to commit a crime. If the crime is already committed, the topic can not affect that decision since it was already made. Before a crime, they take the discussion to be an incentive to commit a crime. Essentially, “don’t be too worried about being prosecuted, the jury can just find you effectively innocent.” It can come off as encouraging crime.









  • We all need to fight fascism globally in any way we can. It doesn’t have to be anything huge. Even if it is only one simple act or word.

    That’s why I support low grade sabotage. In a customer service/support position and could help a customer out to the detriment of the company and perhaps against policy? If you won’t get caught, do it.

    Many years ago I was ringing a customer up when he questioned the price of an item. Manager happened to be nearby. Customer said he had even called ahead of time to verify the price. Manager just blatantly days “oh yeah. I think I actually took that call. Sorry about that. Well the price is what it is.” And just walked off. Customer was just dumbfounded. I put the rest of his items in the bag without ringing them up.
