Salafi Arabia, UAE and Egypt

mardi 9 juillet 2019 à 02:00

Why don't Salafi Arabia, UAE and Egypt criticize China for putting perhaps a million Uighurs in brainwashing camps?

They generally work closely with the US. I suspect they have discussed this issue with the conman. He does not care about imprisoning Muslims, or killing them, and neither do those other countries.

Underlying evidence for Mueller's report

The conman made a deal with the House of Representatives, under which it is providing some of the underlying evidence for Mueller's report.

Union activism in "conservative" states

The strength of union activism in "conservative" states shows that progressive Democrats that stand for workers can win those states.

Amazon's tax dodging and low wages

mardi 9 juillet 2019 à 02:00

Some propose to boycott Amazon for dodging taxes and paying low wages.

I don't disagree, but a mere boycott is inadequate. It fails to recognize that >Amazon does wrong to its customers directly.

To think of buying from Amazon as a "sin" means closing your eyes to how it mistreats you. I think of it as being spied on. If I bought from Amazon, if I let Alexa listen to me, I would feel ripped off — not merely guilt. I protect my rights; I don't give Amazon a chance to mistreat me.

Minimum wage in California

mardi 9 juillet 2019 à 02:00

What's worse than paying $1200 per month to rent a slot in a bunk bed? Working 45 hours a week for that slot, in lieu of pay — which comes out to roughly $6 per hour.

For life's other expenses, you need another job on top of that.

The minimum wage in California is over $10 an hour, so I think the "volunteer" sales agents are being cheated.
