These attempts to use government oversight to push your own business is cancer. Shame on you Kaspersky. Grow up and make better more demanded product. So what's up next? Is someone going to complain that cars are made with built-in windows and therefore it damages the window makers? Or that you can buy your house with completed roof so the other construction companies are going to lose business?
And what about consumers? Yeah, you're being ripped off because instead of having to buy it form third party, you're getting it for free?
Sometimes I think this world doesn't make any sense at all.
Also, the idea that if you don't like a state you can just move is meaningless in this case -- we're talking about the results of a federal election. You can't move anywhere to escape those, so that suggestion doesn't weigh on electoral college considerations.
Exactly - the problem is not the electoral college. The problem is that both sides, Republican and Democrats were attempting to circumvent the states' power by moving much more executive powers to federal level.
This is what needs to be fixed. You need less power on federal level and more on state level. Then you can have wonderfully liberal California where wheat and gay marriage are legal AND backward religious Alabama when you don't have to bake freaking cake and where they teach fairy tales in schools. As long as free movement between the states is ensured, people can vote with their feet and live happily in state that suit their lifestyles and convictions rather then engage each other in merciless battle to control everything for everyone.
This was the initial idea in Union. It needs to come back otherwise there will never ever be unity again.
As Uber is screwing people I see nothing wrong with them banding together to fight back.
Except they are not banding together. Two drivers out of thousands that drive for Uber is not at all representative. I wonder why they managed to convince only two of them to sue. Maybe because the rest is happy with the conditions they willingly accepted. Uber is screwing nobody. You CAN choose not to drive for them if you don't like the conditions. You can drive for unionized taxi if you like the conditions better. Why would you want to force everybody else is beyond me.
Yeah, it's that evil taxi-company-trade-union-muslim-marxist-lizard-people conspiracy again.
No, it's a pressure group using tools at it's disposal to crush competition with legal obstruction rather then providing superior service. There's nothing conspiratory about that.
This has obviously nothing to do with employee rights but is a hatchet job by GMB to get rid of Uber. This will harm the drivers, it will harm the customers, only one who will gain are the unions. Shame on you UK for protecting the particular interests of certain pressure groups against your citizens.
