It seems to me you were supporting the op when he said

>It could be nice if companies would be forced to set up collective workers representation entities when they reach a certain numbers of employees, where I am the limit is of 50 employees, then you must have a collective representation

So if that was the case, how can I work for a large company without such workers representation?

Don't use it? How can I do that when I'm legally forced to do so?

>There would be no avenue at all for someone to make money on the actual content.

Except this is trivially disprovable by simply looking at YouTube.

Copyright plays essentially zero role in the business models of the vast majority of sucessful youtubers, and it is arguably a platform that is far more sucessful than traditional media at producing high quality, relevant content.

Sure, if you get rid of copyright some business models will no longer be possible... but some new business models will now be viable.

You wouldn't argue "we have to protect the baby crushing machine industry because if we don't then the baby crushers won't have a job", so why are you making that argument for copyright?

That seems to indicate to me that the original work is actually not under copyright, since if it is the only method of achieving such an image in such a style, then there is no originality to be copyrighted.

So are you going to be protesting against the democratic party for doing so in 2016?

Except that's not true.

At the end of the day all stock market returns come from one's of 3 things:

Dividends

Earnings per Share growth

Multiple expansion

Over the long run the speculation that you so decry ( which amounts to Multiple expansion) has a negligible impact (less than 1%).

Sure you have plenty of short term booms and busts, but over the long term they are really irrelevant.

Of course they reflect build costs, as well as regulatory costs...

There is no lack of space in portugal to build housing in.

The "housing crisis" is 100% a political choice by portuguese voters.

Because the ones paying for that increase in productivity should be the ones receiving the benefits from it.

That is, the shareholders who own the business and paid for the machines, not the employees who merely operate them.
