Because labor is cheaper in "developing" countries, and often in those same places unions that might potentially conglomerate can easily be prevented with good old fashioned violence and bribery

Which brings me back to supporting the thing that they all obviously fear, govts and companies: collective action
Legal duty to maximize profits.

I can't find this on the Google so I know it must be true. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yes, because the real problem, as it has always been, is capitalism itself. "Pleasing the shareholders" has killed a shitload of people.

There's something to be said for keeping capitalism and just eliminating the stock market as a system, I guess. I would leave such a discussion to a market socialist or syndicalist, that shit is definitely not my bag. I haven't been to an IWW meeting in a long time now.

So who puts up the capital for business ventures if you can't have investors?

As long as you admit you lost a free and fair election because of policies you support
Weeks to count ballots in a state where the election is being run by the person on the ballot?

Seriously?

I don't know, I just said I'd ask a market socialist or syndicalist. Maybe the syndicalists would have a startup fund within one of their union structures. It'd have the clout. Richard Wolff has probably covered this, I doze off during economics lectures.

Democrats used this objection when Brian Kemp was running for Gov of Ga while SoS but the conservatives ignored this objection at the time

Seems like there would be less activity. Is that good thing or bad thing?

I personally think it would be good, as long as it was introduced wisely and over time. I am on board with degrowth and eco-socialism.

I mean, on our current track, the degrowth will happen either way, but it will be catastrophic. I would prefer to prevent that if I get a say in it, but I don't think I will.

Early glitches with Maricopa County election machines frustrate voters

All of the county's 223 voting locations opened on time, but an hour into the election, voters and poll workers at some sites started reporting issues with tabulators. Initially, officials estimated that about 10% of polling places were experiencing problems.

That estimate got raised to 20% and then 30% of the county's voting locations before officials found and fixed the issue — timing marks that had been printed on ballots.

In Maricopa County, printers at polling sites produce ballots on demand so that voters can vote at any location in the county, rather than being assigned a polling place. The formatting marks on the ballots produced by some printers weren’t being printed dark enough for the tabulators to read, officials said.
