Sometimes more people in the kitchen is worse

I see no issue here. Business feels threatened and neutralizes threat.

There's nothing wrong with Unions, but there is something wrong with government-backed unions.

Let people collectivize if they'd like. Collective bargaining is fine, and you aren't living in a free country if you can't collectively bargain -- but collective bargaining shouldn't mean you automatically get government as an ally.

The battle between Union and Company should be between Union and Company.

I obfuscated it because I knew you would pick the right party without me elaborating.

I don't think the left-wing advocacy is altruistic. If it was altruistic, it would promote altruism. It, instead, promotes redistribution of wealth.

Do you think redistribution of wealth is altruistic? How so?

You use the word racist to mean two different things.

The basketball team being all black isn't racism and it isn't due to racism.

If I saw a basketball team (in the NBA) of all white people, I would suspect racism, but it's important to point out that the outcome (an all white NBA team) is NOT racist in itself. Even if it is likely due to racism.

So, I think we should stop calling the outcomes 'racist' and say what we mean: "I suspect this outcome is due to racism"

I think that will make the whole conversation a lot easier to have.

I don't think its advantageous to certain political entities, however, if we have this conversation. There is one party in particular that I think relies on people to believe that their problems are outside of their control, so that maybe they'll outsource the problem solving to the government.

Maybe I have it pinned all wrong, but I will never know if we can't talk about racism and outcomes of what may or may not be racism as two separate things.

It’s more clear to me than ever now that the left and the right do not use the word “racist” the same way.

The left thinks of racism in terms of outcome and the right thinks of racism in terms of intent.

We could benefit from better language around these concepts, and honest dialogue about them too.

It just dawned on me that the left and right absolutely do not think of “racist” exactly the same. The left looks at outcome and the right looks at intent.

We need better words.

What if the company does work out of San Francisco California, is incorporated in Delaware, but I live in North Carolina? Am I still protected?

This feels a lot like how everyone complained about the iPad when it came out, but then it turned out to be no big deal.

As an iOS developer, is there any way for me to get involved with your Basic Income research and development?
