If this is true, go out and start companies, hire these underpaid female workers.
You should be able to have 28 % lower salary expenses. This is HUGE and you can easily out compete the other firms. ANY serious entrepeneur would immediately use such a tactic, anyone who cares about money and profits would. (Side bar, this is a glaring example of why free markets and profit-driven thinking is actually a good thing sometimes)
Seriously, if anybody believes this bollocks, put your money where your mouth is and go all-female software firm.
Oh wait, you won't actually do it? I guess you just want to harass people with fake statistics rather than actually act on it.
Here's the problem: Social Justice Warriors (SJW) always attack speech they don't agree by saying 'it's offensive', 'it's racist', 'it's the patriarchy', 'it's oppressive' or 'it's hate speech'.
To protect free speech one must protect the unpopular things said by unpopular people.
Nobody needs to defend the right of a popular person saying things nobody objects to.
I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that if you post anything negative about the invaders in Germany you get censored for 'hate speech' because it might incite violence. Meanwhile the uneducated and extremist fighting age men swarming into Germany, assaulting the natives, popping off guns in the streets, bring their criminality and incompatible culture to soak up the free benefits while Germany goes bankrupt. you better lock up your wives and lock up your husbands cos they raping everyone up in here.
Your argument falls flat on it's face. Your neighbour could be a waste of space good for nothing shithead who chooses to not work and live off the dole.
In fact, it could turn out that if you DON'T provide him free electricity water and phone service, that he would then choose to work on his own, but since these services are provided, he chooses not to work.
In either of these cases the baseline of well-being for the country is worse under these freeloading policies.
Some people make good decisions, some people make bad decisions. You probably want to avoid subsidizing bad decisions if you're going with the utilitarian argument.
But hold on... Who cares about the utilitarian argument? If I can show that it's morally wrong for the government to bring a gun into the negotiation between every other party in the country (price fixing) then who cares about the utilitarian argument?
If I can show you that by killing homeless people, we're all better off in total, does that make it right? Of course not. Utilitarian arguments are pointless.
Price fixing is immoral. You can show this with just two principles:
Private property
Initiation of force is immoral
It doesn't even take very complex thinking. If you want to see if something the government is doing is immoral, just imagine a neighbor you don't like is taking the same action. If you think it's wrong for your bad neighbor to force prices between other people to a certain level at the barrel of a gun, then it's wrong for the government to do it.
Utilitarian arguments don't help. 'But it's democracy and elected officials' doesn't make it right either.
If your elected officials said 'we're going to start our homeless extermination program for the good of the country' it's still immoral.
If you hold a direct ballot and a majority of the population votes to exterminate the homeless, it's still immoral.
Fuck you slashdot. The great amount of poo in this article has triggered me and now I need a safe room with kiddy toys, low lights, soft music, hookers and blow to get through it. I'll send you the bill.
Or not... Quoting my American aunt: Why should I care? I've nothing to hide...
(And yeah... little does she know... but that's her thought process.)
Great! Tell her I've been recording her in the shower and sharing it with my buddies. Also I couldn't help notice she likes to Monica Lewinski herself with a cigar while watching her pr0n. I mean I wouldn't complain, but it's right up the poop shoot and she makes a face like she ate a lemon when she orgasms.
Pass on a message from her dermatologist for me: yes it is herpes. She must have caught it while she was married, from her husband from that one time he slept with a prostitute in Panama. I guess she got him back since your cousin timmy was sired by the nextdoor neighbour.
Glad to hear her mammogram looked normal. It's good news since she couldn't afford the treatment, her bank account looks as barren as an Ethiopian's picnic. Must be her gambling habit at the slot machines.
I'm making her year end review public at her workplace, she won't mind being the only one to reveal it. Not like anyone will use that information to sideline her from her next promotion.
It wouldn't matter anyway since I found evidence that she committed approximately 450 fellonies and midemeanors, I was able to use google's AI to compare her suspect activities against the innumerable laws and regulations. She might be a terror wrist. Oops, that's a bug in the system. She can wait in our black sites while we work it out. Now what was it she said again?
The fact that you can even hit submit after typing this asinine statement is amazing. Keep it up. Next you will tell me that all the married bachelors approve of this message.
So you advocate guns and violence to extract money from people who don't support your cause. Fraud and counterfeiting to steal wealth from people. Yet you say the libertarians don't care about others?
I guess if I someone came to your house, held you up at gunpoint, stole your valuables and then as they left said 'oh don't worry, the money is for a good cause and I'm your elected representative' you'd be okay with it.
Who's to say that if you carried out your immoral plan and after all the money was spent you ended up with a bunch of non-starter antibiotics, anyone would be better off? Even if you come out with 5 or 10 new drugs, what if that was one of the worse ways the wealth could have been spent and actually we could have made 10 times the progress by not initiating force against others and allowing voluntarism to take it's course?
The two things government supporters always forget:
Government is always the most wasteful solution to any problem, with all the wrong incentives.
The opportunity cost that has been suffered because their pet project was funded
It's bloody easy to point out, hey I got this result right here!!
It's a lot harder to evaluate even the prima facia cost benefit.
It's many orders of magnitudes harder to evaluate the real cost benefit, including the hidden costs. That theft and counterfeiting ain't Free (as in speech AND as in beer). You've prevented other human actions including progress, savings and job creation. But since it's effectively impossible to go find someone who you screwed out of a job or a health treatment by stealing the wealth and wasting it on your idea instead, I guess they don't exist.
I suspect they know this and they're going to try and introduce laws that force Facebook/Google/Apple/etc to act as extensions of GCHQ. To what extent these companies go along with it will be the most fascinating fight of the coming years.
K.O.
It's a fixed fight and it was over before it began.
What about the government decides they don't like your opposition to fracking and they use your information to poison you with peanut allergy, or give you a pre-disposed diabetes condition that distracts you from your activism.
Or they trace the fact that you are the product of your grandfather's slave raping and just put it out there during an election year.
Or how about they threaten to take one of your children into a mind control program and break them into schizophrenia since they've found out they have a pre-disposition.
Maybe they deploy sensors around town in the future and restrict your movement, mating partner or your career based on your genetics. I could see eugenics coming back around as a 'for the good of the collective, think of the children' idea. Vaccines have, people are forced to have their children vaccinated as if there were no health risks (and I don't mean autism).
How about they develop a genetic virus that kills you and everyone related to you based on your info.
Or they create pre-crime a la minority report based on genetics?
Or you can't afford a lawyer and you get convicted of that case where someone with similar genetics left a partial match.
Actually, I've handled the green card process for one of my employees.
Yes, it's the green card applicant that requires the advertisement process to show that no citizen has applied for the job, however who do you think all the green card applicants are? They are the H1-Bs and the other foreigners, one and the same.
You think people come over here on a student visa or an H1-B, work for several years and then don't apply for citizenship, and just go back home?
Then after the advertisement process, there's another 10+ years where that person can continue to work and move from company to company while their process goes through.
What is this Social Justice Warrior bullshit and why does it keep getting posted here?
That's it. I'm done with this smelly armpit of a website.
Can anyone recommend a good place that has news for nerds and stuff that matters?
What goes on between the hands, mouth or cock of some guy I've never heard of and the soft bits of some women that aren't named is something I couldn't give a rat's arse about.
Every human action (and inaction) is a choice between options. Quite often from an incalculably large pool of options and trees.
Choosing to pay for a big science project now is choosing not to do a gazillion combinations of other large and small searches for knowledge.
Are you really so confident you know the best course of action?
Obviously, there are additional problems:
You are forcibly depriving individuals of their private property for your pet project. This is immoral.
There are other goals than knowledge. Worthy goals, which other people may have a higher preference for.
There's also obviously a time-preference calculation. Do you want to spend your resources on 10 units of knowledge achieved immediately, or do you spend your resources on the promise of 100 units of knowledge 8 years from now? The obvious answer is the second choice if you ignore time preference. However we have time preference for a reason, what if the knowledge in option two never materializes?
If the wrong decision is made, do you stay the course or change directions?
Quickly these decision trees exceed the abilities of any central planner. Funny enough, this is why socialism and communism always fail in the long run. It's almost impossible to central plan very complex systems efficiently and it is entirely impossible to central plan everyone's means for everyone's personal preferences and goals.
Nice cocoon of ignorance you have there. You have an ad-hominem style bias against one source, so you ignore it plus the 6 other sources linked without fact checking a single one.
Yes infowars makes money from hysteria. Guess what so does the mainstream media. IW are also the first ones to break major stories sometimes that are released as 'news' by the mass media a decade later.
Slashdot Mirror
I don't think you know what libertarian is.
Are you so ignorant to not know that there was encryption on paper long before it existed in computers?
Safes are not the proper analogy, paper encryption is.
Socialist redistribution is not voluntary.
You're confusing love making with rape.
You should be able to have 28 % lower salary expenses. This is HUGE and you can easily out compete the other firms.

Don't forget that period in the 70's when Bernstein exposed the CIA as controlling most of the mainstream news in the USA.
How Americas Most Powerful News Media Worked Hand in Glove with the Central Intelligence Agency and Why the Church Committee Covered It Up
And yes, that's the same Bernstein that broke Watergate.

How the fuck is that productive?
The act clearly states on page 1740
The fact that you can even hit submit after typing this asinine statement is amazing. Keep it up. Next you will tell me that all the married bachelors approve of this message.
How about instead you take issue with the government that has granted them the local monopoly?
That was the case in my town and people got pissed at town hall for accepting a $1M bribe to grant the monopoly.
So you advocate guns and violence to extract money from people who don't support your cause. Fraud and counterfeiting to steal wealth from people. Yet you say the libertarians don't care about others?

Your nightmare scenario is so dumb.

Recall that in a lot of cases, criminal and terrorist just means you disagree with the government gang.
it's societally acceptable that wingnuts can purchase a gun and then shoot innocent children
Proof?
