hgdfhgfdhgdf··on Unions work
I suspect you are not familiar with farmer cooperatives. They are not employee cooperatives. They are corporatives of private farmers.

If that were true, why isn't every company adopting 4 day work weeks?
hgdfhgfdhgdf··on Striking auto workers want a 40% pay increase–the same rate their CEOs’ pay grew
I have bad news for you. Those workers who demand 40% wage increases and 32 hour work weeks will be "easily replaced" by auto factories in the South who have right to work laws.

hgdfhgfdhgdf··on 43% of white Harvard students are legacy, athlete, or donor/staff related (2019)
The article doesn't mention the grades and test scores of legacy students are as strong as non-legacy admitted students.

"Among the admitted legacies, grades and test scores were indistinguishable from non-legacy students. Both groups had an average SAT score that surpassed 1430. Once on campus, legacy students tended to have slightly higher college grades, but their involvement in campus activities, merit awards, academic recognition and on-time graduation rates were indistinguishable from non-legacy students. In sum, legacy students, on average, were about as academically strong as non-legacy students, neither superior nor inferior."

hgdfhgfdhgdf··on Profits are driving inflation. When will politicians and the BoE admit it?
This is such an awful argument. Because a company captures 50% of sales in an area does not mean that it has a monopoly and that there is only 1 grocer in the area. Your source is also not very reliable. List one area where Walmart has a monopoly and the only grocer in town.

Defunding the police and de facto allowing the burglary of any items below $900 are "centrist" views in other parts of the world?

How can you look at San Francisco and not see how its policies are not working? How delusional can one be?
hgdfhgfdhgdf··on Southern accents could cost job seekers a 20% wage penalty, study finds
No it's not. The study compared accents from Southerners and standard accents and found Southerners made 20% less. This has nothing to do with New Jersey residents suppressing their accent.
hgdfhgfdhgdf··on Super-rich abandoning Norway at record rate as wealth tax rises slightly
Your comment that the rich "siphon that much wealth out of the global financial system" is wrong and is an argument often made by people with limited knowledge of economics. The pie is not fixed.
hgdfhgfdhgdf··on SVB does not deserve a bailout. They DID NOT hedge interest rate risk at all
The $175,000 brand new 3 bedroom homes in Houston are overinflated? There must be something else that's causing the inflation.

You should compare energy prices in heavily regulated Europe with the USA before you call someone "stupid" and an "idiot".
hgdfhgfdhgdf··on Tesla Workers Launch Union Campaign in New York
