- Comment on I'm a California restaurant operator preparing for the $20-an-hour fast-food wage by trimming hours, eliminating employee vacation, and raising menu prices 11 months ago:
Makes me wonder if McShitpants in the article ever tried to an unpaid internship program for managers.
- Comment on 'We have no rights.' Frustrated with California wage laws, Moonstone Bistro in Redding cuts lunch service 11 months ago:
What a bunch of entitled bullshit. I look forward to his businesses failure.
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
The drain for those companies is happening or has happened and is unlikely to improve just because they finally realize they were wrong.
- Comment on NASA has some explaining to do 11 months ago:
Just imagine Jesus up in space bouncing from satellite to satellite getting all pissed off cause he just wants to get to earth and get this second coming shit over with so he can go back to heaven and bang some angels.
- Comment on Anon is in hell 11 months ago:
Lack of license and being an alcoholic is probably consequences as well.
- Comment on Starbucks told to reopen stores Labor board finds were closed over union organizing 1 year ago:
Mmmm the death of Starbucks. What a lovely dream.
- Comment on Panera founder says employees today aren't motivated by the idea of making money for shareholders: 'Nobody cares' 1 year ago:
At least one founder and former CEO agrees that the idea of boosting shareholders’ returns isn’t likely to be a key motivator to workers these days. Ron Shaich, Panera Bread’s founder and former longtime CEO, has stressed how important it is for management and members of the C-suite to empathize with their employees and better understand what can get their buy-in to the company’s mission.
“No employee ever wakes up and says, ‘I’m so excited. I made another penny a share today for Panera’s shareholders,’” Shaich told Business Insider in an interview. “Nobody cares. You don’t care whether your CEO comes or goes.”
What a click bait bullshit title. The person never said what they are implying they said.
- Comment on Alright, where do I begin? 1 year ago:
OG Star Trek, Star Trek: TNG, DS9 and Voyager are the beating heart of Star Trek as far as shows. After that is Enterprise, Picard, Strange New World’s and Discovery for live action and Lower Decks and Prodigy for animated. I only have opinions on Enterprise and Prodigy. Enterprise completly skippable. Prodigy seems good but haven’t gotten through much of it yet.
For movies there are six movies that take place in the OG Star Trek era (I like all the originals personally but some are unliked by fans).
Then there are four movies in the Star Trek: TNG era but Insurrection and Nemesis, the last two, are generally not well liked, but views could have changed with time. (I enjoyed all these as well)
(All ten of the above Star Trek movies were my childhood and therefore have a lot of nostalgia for them. So my views are skewed.)
After that you have the reboot movies which are completely skippable (my recommendation). I watched the first one and was so nonplussed I never bothered with the others. Also, J.J. Abrams is involved in them so if you like what he does you may like the movies. Personally he’s on my shit list with M. Night and avoid any projects involving them.
- Comment on SAG-AFTRA Alleges ‘Bully Tactics’ as Studios Suspend Negotiations 1 year ago:
I’m not a film historian so I can’t really give you a rundown on the how and why actors get paid the way they do now and how shitty it was for so long before. I can give you the shity answer of its art, it’s speculative and the studios will make money off their work for decades once filming ends. AND, unionize.
The tech industry is a cesspit of exploitation and it’s not gonna get better unless y’all unionize and fight for it. I can’t fathom how residuals would work in the tech industry outside of those adjacent to the arts for things like CGI and stuff.

$0.57 per subscriber sounds pretty fair to me for streaming.
- Comment on Returning to the office is 'wildly more expensive' today than in 2019—here's how much people are spending 1 year ago:
That one day is literally to weed out employees and justify the companies expenditure on office space.
- Comment on Returning to the office is 'wildly more expensive' today than in 2019—here's how much people are spending 1 year ago:
Wouldn’t be nearly enough to get me back in an office. The benefits of working full time from home are worth far more than $5k/yr.
- Comment on New U.A.W. Chief Has a Nonnegotiable Demand: Eat the Rich 1 year ago:
I’m liking him more and more. He’s the kind of union leader more unions need. And it doesn’t sound like he’s gunning for the spotlight so he can be governor or a congressmen.
- Comment on Judge: Starbucks violated federal labor law by withholding pay hikes from unionized workers | CNN Business 1 year ago:
Any chance a judge can force Starbucks to negotiate with the union in good faith sometime before the heat death of the universe? Maybe? Please!
- Comment on How Did The Capitol Police Put Down Trump’s Insurrection? 1 year ago:
Are you referring to insurrectionist Ashli “Traitor” Babbitt?
While some have attempted to turn her into a martyr the truth is she, and the others around her, were doing something very illegal. And if they had all been non-white individuals they would have met with far more persuasive force than a few capitol police officers as was demonstrated with the BLM marches.
- Comment on Strikes aren’t bad for the US economy. They’re the best thing that could happen 1 year ago:
Let’s hope it’s a social revolution that goes forward and not backward.
- Comment on ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem’ Gets Sept. 19th Release Date On Paramount+ 1 year ago:
They are making a TV series that follows the movie. Same voice actors and everything. Which I think is a first for TMNT where a TV series and movie are connected directly.

I like this Shawn. I really do. He’s saying the words and doing the actions. Go Shawn! Go!
- Comment on Pluralistic: Bill Willingham puts his graphic novel series "Fables" into the public domain 1 year ago:
We all know DC and Marvel are sleazy backstabbing shit stains so instead:
If you haven’t read Fables you absolutely should. While the Telltale Games Wolf Among Us was okay nothing beats reading the mystery and it’s presentation in graphic novel form.
Fables, Saga, Preacher, Samdman and Watchmen are the best and finest of graphic novels.
- Comment on UAW justifies wage demands by pointing to CEO pay raises. So how high were they? 1 year ago:
I hope they get it and more! The workers are making the cars not the executives.
- Comment on Marvel VFX Workers Unanimously Vote to Unionize In Industry First 1 year ago:
Go union go! I doubt Disney/Marvel will ever negotiate in good faith, if at all.
- Comment on Watch: Billionaire CEO says unemployment 'has to jump' to put 'arrogant' workers in their place 1 year ago:
What is it with property developers and being brainless dicks?
- Comment on Do you find the description Live Service Game off-putting? 1 year ago:
“Service Games”, gotcha games, games with excessive DLC (looking at you sim games), internet required and Denuvo games are all hard passes.
- Comment on Millions of additional salaried workers could get overtime pay under Biden proposal 1 year ago:
It’s a good start. Not perfect, but a start.
- Comment on What the AMPTP is refusing to grant the WGA vs. their profits 1 year ago:
Autocorrect. Should have been multi-billion.
- Comment on CEOs of top 100 ‘low-wage’ US firms earn $601 for every $1 by worker, report finds 1 year ago:
A good reason to have laws regulating the maximum pay gap between executive and the lowest paid peon. And make sure to include all types of pay like stock options so companies can’t squirm out of it.
- Comment on What the AMPTP is refusing to grant the WGA vs. their profits 1 year ago:
It’s disgusting how greedy and petty these multi-million dollar companies are that they won’t even remotely play fair with the people who actually make them all their money. Even worse they are hoping a few well paid AI programmers can eliminate the need for writers all together.
Take to the high seas and don’t give those bastards a cent!
