Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: Thank you, I appreciate it. > Is your job really so great that it outweighs the avalanche of negative bullshit you get from the people you are essentially working to please? The job is incredibly challenging, and I love being challenged. The stuff I do ....
Comment preview: Why isnt it common knowledge yet that the US higher ups and its corporations are trying to manipulate the world to their benefit. Im not saying these people meet in dark basements plotting world domination, corporations and their owners are of course rival ....
Comment preview: I wonder how long it would take these hypocrites to reverse their stance the moment *someone* decides it would be funny to flood Google with thousands of false DMCAs against Warner Bros. I'm not sure why they're assuming that average Joe can't bully a corp ....
Comment preview: Jesus Christ. I am so tired of hearing this quote taken out of context. Mitt Romney is an asshole, and a liar, but the quote was not Mitt Romney arguing that corporate personhood was acceptable. He was talking about how to balance commitments to social se ....
Comment preview: Graeber's piece "Bullshit Jobs" should really be read as an accompaniment if it wasn't already linked in the Salon interview [(here).](http://www.strikemag.org/bullshit-jobs/) There was an interesting discussion about the piece on Naked Capitalism [here](h ....
Comment preview: Because they control the flow of information. I don't care that coke sponsors a team. Corporate money goes so, sooooo much deeper than that. News, controlled by money. Television content, aka what is deemed "socially acceptable" is controlled by money. Goo ....
Comment preview: As far as I'm concerned, the opinions of the RIAA et al are bullshit. Yes, I disagree with them. Yes, I dismiss their position as bullshit. No, I do not automatically do this because I disagree with them; I do it because I've spent years watching hundreds ....
Comment preview: Corporate tax rates are utter bullshit because no corporation actually pays them. Big companies use depreciation, expenses and profit-offshoring to ensure that they never pay this amount. Smaller companies "cash out" every year to prevent getting taxed twi ....
Comment preview: I hate so fucking much hearing about corporate anti-union propaganda. Back in the day I worked as a union laborer for a construction company. I made damn good money, the insurance was actually half-decent, and we had a pension set up. All for the price of ....
Comment preview: To clarify this, the 'cost-cutting' is being done to a public corporation that has turned a profit every year in the last seventeen *except* the year management locked out the workers at Christmas. The unfunded pension complaint is a red herring. No corpor ....
Comment preview: I'm what I guess you would call a corporate middle manager. I'm not high up the food chain, but my company is gigantic, and have an an organization with a few hundred people in it. I'm definitely a hiring manager. Curious to know what I think of this? It's ....
Comment preview: I've burnt out a few times over the last 10 years and am currently recovering from burnout. For me I usually need extended time off (4+ months) before I feel like touching a computer again. That is when I know I am recovering. When I feel ok putting up wi ....
Comment preview: > I like the idea of basic income and no more minimum wage. Increase corporate taxes and taxes on the super wealthy/redistribute wealth that's being created by the amount of automation these days. I think I'm largely in agreement on getting a basic inco ....
Comment preview: Technician at flagship here. It's a combination of both, but more of being part of the company. The problem is that there is a severe disconnect in retail management and the spirit of the company; the people they bring in to manage stores and markets tend ....
Comment preview: Privatization of labor sectors traditionally handled by the government is hardly a "bullshit ominous atmosphere". It's a legitimate concern. Especially when it comes to running private prisons that function not to rehabilitate offenders but keep them locke ....
Comment preview: This is idiotic. If you read Reddit every day (which, let's face it, most of us here do), then clearly you're getting your news from a source that's not affiliated with these 6 companies. Plus some of the biggest newspapers and magazines (Washington Post, ....
Comment preview: While it is true that refugees will take up part of our social housing, it is such bullshit to think that our long waiting lists and deficit of social housing can be attributed to them. The VVD has been privatizing the Netherlands slowly but surely over th ....
Comment preview: While I totally agree these is a big problem with inequality, I just want to put it out there to **everyone** that a company not paying corporate tax is not unusual.** For instance, if I have a business which turns over $2 million a year, yet I pay 10 empl ....
Comment preview: As documented by countless news organizations from all over the globe, corporations taking advantage of too many financial and industry deregulations caused a Recession. Yet, Ron Paul wants to give those corporations a Free Market system that has zero cor ....
Comment preview: And I think most Americans feel the same way. It is the lying corporate media that is pushing for war in Iran, I do not know one single real American that is itching to attack. Military Veterans largely support Ron Paul because he doesn't want to attack Ir ....
Comment preview: so, a lot of bullshit about famous actresses being whores ITT. Which is usually the first thing most people have to say about actors in India. Can confirm to be utter bullshit. The number of instances of sexual manipulation/sexual favors to further one's c ....
Comment preview: I'm just going off of what I teach in my AP history class, which I got from a couple of textbooks. I could be a little off: this is just my understanding of corporate personhood. You basically have two Supreme Court cases that deal with corporations being ....
Comment preview: I don't understand why there are people like you who point this small idea out as if it's some end all excuse for why any company or corporation can do anything under the sun short of nuclear war just to make a buck. Viacom just bought the election for mon ....
Comment preview: Wait, wait, wait... Zuckerberg asks "what are the big problems you have" and Iribe's first answer is "we need to build an eco system with profiles and app stores"? (2:20 in the video) I mean, I can totally get that they now can afford to design and produce ....
Comment preview: God it makes me so sad that I had to do this. This shouldn't even be an issue. We all fucking know what is best. WE ALL KNOW. WHY ARE WE BEGGING OUR GOVERNMENT TO NOT SERVE US UP ON A SILVER PLATTER TO THESE GREEDY FUCKING CORPORATE ASSHOLES. Are we just p ....
