Company not making any revenue lays off staff. People are outraged.....because capitalism. I suppose they should have gone the socialist route that way if the company folds they can all enjoy paying off their creditors

Companies reacting that way is not a smart long term decision.

They have a mistitled topic saying gun owners are panicking due to COVID-19.

From what I have seen and read, it is non-gun owners becoming first time gun owners and the usual suspects panicking that the 2nd Amendment exists. It's not like we haven't seen society experience immediate and localized break down and a lack of government protection before. The 1992 LA Riots and 2005 Hurricane Katrina have happened in relatively recent history. Citizens were left to defend themselves if they were unable to evacuate, in New Orleans during that crisis, some LEO's were disarming people who were not looting or causing problems. Which was reversed once all was said and done and they were sued:
http://www.nbcnews.com/id/27087738/ns/us_news-life/t/nra-settle-suit-over-katrina-gun-seizures/

That forum should be called gaslight-era. Though it is amusing that they are finding out there are members who are also gun owners; will there be a summit about not feeling safe as a result?

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
Reee-setters are mostly selfish narcissists, but companies should be sending their employees home and large corporations should be paying their employees during this time. It’s a national emergency.

Asking honestly, not sarcastic (which I'll admit is new for me):

What's worse, laying people off and giving them a lump severance, or paying people during this time but taking stock in your company and not letting them come back once this blows over? For me I'd say the latter as it gives them time to put their resumes together and look for work while they're stuck at home.

All companies aren't going to survive this thing, and the ones that do will see a significant reduction in workforce. It fucking sucks, but we're in a recession now, the market is in a free fall, and companies are going to be losing money for months. People with jobs that are redundant, built around things like sales or services are really worried right now, rightfully so. Which is why I think laying people off now is the right move, even if it completely sucks.

Agree. I think distance learning is gonna BLOW UP this summer as well. While I think a lot of the economy will surge back (after all, no equipment or property is damaged) anything dealing with international tourism is going to be crippled for years.

Disney though, those parks are gonna look FANTASTIC when they reopen. Everything should be fixed, painted, and looking brand new. I expect that damned Everest snowman to move dangnabbit!

I'm just curious what they envision this future looking like. If this supposed socialist revolution happened I can promise you that we're not going to be singing Kum Ba Ya around a fucking campfire.

Tell that to Toyota, Ford and Holden manufacturing in Australia; none of which exist today. During the recession Toyota employees were faced with lowered wages or laying off non-critical staff or face the possibility of the whole operation going under. The Unions moved in and said nope you arent laying anyone off and there will be no renegotiation of wages. Less than 6months later no one had a job after they closed down.

Same thing happen with Ford and later Holden, Holden of which doesnt even exist now.

I do find it an absolute piss take that CEOs and board members always manage to come away with large pay packets and they should be the first place companies look for capital to cover wages and down turns but that just doesnt happen; instead the workers take the hit.

But if lay offs are required to keep the operations functioning then a few lay offs short term are better than a non-viable business model that closes its doors entirely.

ResetEra Moderation - A Comparison

First thread: North Carolina Cop Shares Lunch with Homeless


VS.

Second thread: Reporter Asked Trump What He'd Say to Americans Who Are Frightened


:lollipop_astonished:

Lot of joking in this thread from me and others because it's hilarious in it's ridiculousness and hypocrisy what they say and do over there.

However, reading this just isn't really funny. I could laugh about them being TDS loons but seriously these are sick SICK fucking people and need some serious fucking professional help. I mean I've got my issues like I'm sure we all do here, but I sure as fuck would never call for, celebrate, or encourage the death of someone who I disagree with politically. What's even more scary is that the most of them with this visceral and palpable hatred towards Trump likely have just had that fueled by media manipulation, clickbait articles, headline reading, astroturfed reddit front page articles and bandwagoning without even knowing if some of the reasons they hate him so much are even true.

It's this sort of tribal egging each other on "rah-rah death to Trump!" shit that spawns these violent fuckers like the guy at the ASU campus "slash every Republican's throat!!" and that other dude who recently ran a van into a Republican voting tent.

anyone with the complete dossier they will to pass onto our friends at Insomniac Games?

Yeh dont forget to mention their moderators defended the lyrics that called for the killing of white babies and many of its members were totally fine with the torture and execution of whites in South Africa.

The place is a mad house; calls for violence, wishing death and illness against others, doxing anyone they dont like etc.

I wonder why it is that those with good intentions always end up becoming the authoritarian dictatorship they so apparently despise

How are reetards going to spend quarantine? With some creative writing.
Well if I can chime in, I was bi-polar...hard....which unfortunately brings hyper-sexuality to the table. But this is fucking bullshit, this is not how it works, at all. Sexual partners (real) works. Porn, internet, etc does not. It's very specific shit which needs to be created in your brain, etc. I don't want go to detail, but this is someone who tries to be interesting.

Nah not going to bang on this guy for admitting he has an addiction problem and sort of asking for help. He probably needs some sort of real life support group though there are 12 step groups and other groups for pretty much any sort of addiction whether it's an actual substance or just something like porn, gambling or MMO gaming.

You can become addicted to porn, internet, gambling, gaming, food etc - you don't need to ingest a physical substance like alcohol to become addicted they all result in a dopamine hit that people get addicted to.

So based on his own description you would instead of calling him a sex addict call him a sex addict, porn addict, massage parlor addict, camgirl addict, stripclub addict and masturbation addict? Even though those are all sexual related activities and the actual term is "sexual" addiction not intercourse addiction?

Maybe it's just language, but to be specifically sex addict, how is it classified as like this:
Sexual addiction, also known as sex addiction, is a state characterized by compulsive participation or engagement in sexual activity, particularly sexual intercourse, despite negative consequences.
Wiki link

That's how I see it and that's my own experience. I would classified him more like porn addict, which is really not that special.

I've been in this thread for a while and occasionally look at what's going on over there but if there have been other posts like this I just missed them. What do you mean like the whole story is being made up and that he isn't an addict or has done these things but is just posting for forum attention?

He has not bedded hundreds of cocks. Most likely, he is an overweight virgin loser with putrid hygiene that lives with his parents and masturbates 17 times a day to chan cartoons.

And yes, there have been countless stories in this vein on ResetEra. It’s a thing they do.

Old mate in their arguing everything should be free........because everyone who has to work to support that useless cunt should be doing so for nothing.

I work in healthcare, there is no stopping for us nor can their people for the supplies we need right now, everything from food to cleaning to PPE and medicinal supplies. Where does this idiot think this stuff comes from?

oh yeah all these lynchpins of consumerism making $8/hr

all you have to do is not show up one day. your boss will fire you and hire another person by the weekend.

YOU ARE THAT REPLACEABLE
Yep. I worked at a grocery store stocking shelves over night for a dozen years. I was an assistant manager for 10 of those. I fired countless losers who thought they were badass. I can confirm that many re types stock shelves by the way. Physically lacking. Uneducated. Bad attitudes. Lazy. Poor hygiene. I saw all the retypes in my time there.

So many things to unpack here.

Career? Lynchpin? Personally, I am grateful to the people working at our grocery stores, and I've even gone out of my way to be extra nice to them, and have thanked them for being around for us all things considered. But let's not break our backs sucking our own dicks here. There are so many people in the gig economy that are out of work right now, if this reee is too scared to go back groceries someone will take his job.

But maybe I'm wrong. Grocery store workers are our last line of defense after all.

Here's another frightening example - in reference to Trump

I said it before, but probably the only reason the FBI isn't spying on resetera for making threats against public officials, is that they know as well as we do how pathetic and harmless they are in real life. That poster in particular wouldn't have the guts to say that publicly or have his real name and face attached to it like the coward he is.

If I was a low wage hourly grocery store employee, I'd be glad I had an income source at the moment. A lot of other people with low skill hourly jobs are in serious financial trouble.
