The extra productivity just increased profits for the company and raise the stock price for investors. The ability to use less manpower increased profits and stock shares. Slowing pay and benefits advancements for the workers increased profits for the company and shareholders.

Companies don't take the view of all we need to do is break even every year it's about making more and more money every year. The actual people who put the work in to make those profits mean nothing to upper management and the shareholders they are all replaceable.

If the stock market and mega corporations were gone and there were only small regional privately owned companies you would see a huge difference in workers lives.

I think it should be the person with the highest number of votes, Democrat or Republican.

Conservative estimates put his companies earnings at 300 million a year. So ya I'd say it was pretty close since he went on about it for quite awhile. Also don't forget that during the lawsuit he hid money, lied in court, hid evidence and even refused to show up to court. I think his punishment is more than fitting. This guy knowingly lied about families who were devastated to make money, affecting those families lives to the point that they had to move and go into hiding. Fuck Alex Jones, he's a shit human being and I hope he spends the rest of his life mopping restrooms in a truck stop somewhere.

Maybe the death threats from his fans and having to go into hiding because of his rhetoric bumped up price. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'm sure there were many parents in the jury that have had enough of the bullshit.

I guess the question is, how much money did Jones and his company make from said defamation. Personally I think if a company profits illegally then the fine should be at a minimum a close estimation of what they profited.

You answered your own question "Now it's just garbage corporations turning a quick buck for executives and shareholders" executives must continually find more profit to appease the shareholders, the only way to do that consistently is raise prices, there are too many people that will just keep paying and paying and the corporations know it.

I think I do remember the Asus phone. I think it was the zenphone 7 or 8 maybe.

Anything that is not AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile will most always rely on one of these three and their towers. Which means you will be deprioritized for their customers. There are some smaller companies that have their own towers but they are few and far between and cover a very small area. Google Fi for example, uses the T-Mobile network and a smaller network that only covers a small patch in the Midwest somewhere.

Holy smokes, you've tripled the upvotes that I got, looks like there are a lot more people in the ass community (granted she has a great view from the back) than on the katyaclover community.

Not all crimes will keep him from being president. Any guilty verdict from Georgia will send him to jail for a minimum of 5 years, no probation, no home detention. The only charges that if found guilty that would disqualify Trump from being president are with Jack Smith. Essentially, Georgia will send him to jail if he lives long enough and it will be possible for Trump to set another first, the first president to serve from jail because he could not pardon himself for state crimes and the governor has very limited pardon powers in Georgia.

I have never been able to log in to Lemmy.world with any app. I think is may be the instance because I can log in anywhere else.
