machinery

2018-11-17 18:35:13 UTC

Factories

2018-11-17 18:35:16 UTC

Preconstruction

2018-11-17 18:35:23 UTC

If @Fitzydog was memeing, he'd be calling you a girl and a soyboy

2018-11-17 18:35:28 UTC

Ikea.

2018-11-17 18:35:38 UTC

24/7

2018-11-17 18:35:50 UTC

Iโ€™m pretty sure demolition of interiors and reinstalling walls and stuff isnโ€™t mechanized

2018-11-17 18:36:07 UTC

I'm pretty sure we hire Mexicans to do that for a reason lol

2018-11-17 18:36:07 UTC

Well then that's not just carpentry .

2018-11-17 18:36:08 UTC

Maybe carpenter isnโ€™t the right word

2018-11-17 18:36:11 UTC

yeah

2018-11-17 18:36:14 UTC

it isn't

2018-11-17 18:36:17 UTC

They also called themselves handymen

2018-11-17 18:36:23 UTC

oh psh

2018-11-17 18:36:31 UTC

Yeah, that's not carpentry

2018-11-17 18:36:36 UTC

Itโ€™s a bit hard because theyโ€™re Spanish speaking

2018-11-17 18:36:45 UTC

That's blue collar gig economy

2018-11-17 18:36:59 UTC

Carpintero probably means something else culturally in Ecuador

2018-11-17 18:37:09 UTC

Which would be construction

2018-11-17 18:37:31 UTC

How big are their families?

2018-11-17 18:37:44 UTC

Because you said they could't fit in their apartments.

2018-11-17 18:37:47 UTC

Wife and one or two kids

2018-11-17 18:37:56 UTC

Yeah the apartments are tiny

2018-11-17 18:38:00 UTC

Pittsburgh as well I assume?

2018-11-17 18:38:05 UTC

No

2018-11-17 18:38:07 UTC

Brooklyn

2018-11-17 18:38:08 UTC

oh

2018-11-17 18:38:13 UTC

And when are they going home to Ecuador?

2018-11-17 18:38:26 UTC

They donโ€™t have the money to

2018-11-17 18:38:31 UTC

Brooklyn is actually pretty expensive now.

2018-11-17 18:38:38 UTC

So that'd be one reason right their.

2018-11-17 18:38:41 UTC

Yeah thanks to gentrification

2018-11-17 18:38:46 UTC

It wasnโ€™t before

2018-11-17 18:38:47 UTC

Don't worry, deportation is cheaper than a lifetime of welfare

2018-11-17 18:38:59 UTC

<:high_iq:382980759012638731>

2018-11-17 18:39:17 UTC

But also, Brooklyn get's decently cheaper the farther you get away from Manhattan.

2018-11-17 18:39:25 UTC

I go back and see a bunch of shit has changed

2018-11-17 18:39:40 UTC

I used to live in a different neighborhood as a kid

2018-11-17 18:39:49 UTC

Before we moved to the ghetto

2018-11-17 18:40:02 UTC

And now Iโ€™m in Pitt

2018-11-17 18:40:14 UTC

Why is it always people from NYC who are economically illiterate?

2018-11-17 18:41:03 UTC

Because NYC is a shithole

2018-11-17 18:41:09 UTC

No people from la too

2018-11-17 18:41:13 UTC

And sacremento

2018-11-17 18:41:28 UTC

Morning @Goblin_Slayer_Floki , you up to spitroast a syndie today?

2018-11-17 18:41:39 UTC

If i must

2018-11-17 18:41:52 UTC

But i get the face. Im not gay after all.

2018-11-17 18:42:09 UTC

Ass is ass

2018-11-17 18:42:11 UTC

I'll just jerk it in the corner

2018-11-17 18:42:30 UTC

Remember, no nut

2018-11-17 18:43:03 UTC

Actually itโ€™s because NYC is expensive as fuck and itโ€™s hard to practice budgeting when all you have budget is if you have enough money to get food

2018-11-17 18:43:16 UTC

That's by design

2018-11-17 18:43:29 UTC

Also youโ€™re always gotta be somewhere in NYC

2018-11-17 18:43:47 UTC

Why do you think most who work in the more expensive parts commute?

2018-11-17 18:43:48 UTC

Also, rent control.

2018-11-17 18:43:49 UTC

This is what our global overlords want for everyone

2018-11-17 18:43:54 UTC

All cities are like that

2018-11-17 18:44:01 UTC

Rent control really fucks shit up.

2018-11-17 18:44:36 UTC

Bubble will pop sooner or later

2018-11-17 18:44:40 UTC

oh God, do we have to argue about supply and demand curves?

2018-11-17 18:44:56 UTC

Hopefully this time people will realize keeping their heads down is useless

2018-11-17 18:45:17 UTC

As long as people want to live there it wont

2018-11-17 18:45:36 UTC

Wait for the grid to be fried

2018-11-17 18:46:17 UTC

Iirc nyc has a huge union issue. Even in a natural disaster they turn away workers from even other unions.

2018-11-17 18:46:42 UTC

Isn't that what Syndicalism is?

2018-11-17 18:47:22 UTC

I remember a story about the massive blozzard and workers from north carolina were unioned electricians and plumbers were turned away from helping.

2018-11-17 18:50:45 UTC

Sounds like an insurance being for profit problem

2018-11-17 18:52:23 UTC

I doubt you know how insurance even works

2018-11-17 18:59:45 UTC

okay I'm back

2018-11-17 18:59:48 UTC

what'd I miss

2018-11-17 18:59:49 UTC

Yea most people have no clue how insurance actually works

2018-11-17 19:00:14 UTC

Or the fact most health insurance companies are non profit or not for profit companies.

2018-11-17 19:00:21 UTC

Insurance is probably the greatest invention of the past 150 years

2018-11-17 19:01:00 UTC

Which means even without the 501c status they arnt able to make more than 3% profit.

2018-11-17 19:01:29 UTC

Anything with the name 'Mutual' in it is operated in that regard

2018-11-17 19:04:26 UTC

Imagine a health insurance company that was operated as a non profit by a religious organization that as part of your plan you had to volunteer at the hospital once a month or something like that

2018-11-17 19:04:34 UTC

Talk about cheap healthcare lol

2018-11-17 19:06:48 UTC

All the blue cross blue shield companies have to agree to non profit or not for profit

2018-11-17 19:07:18 UTC

To be part of the association and reap the benefits

2018-11-17 19:08:16 UTC

I actually feel the not for profit are better companies. As they dont dodge the taxes.

2018-11-17 19:08:38 UTC

Well not fully. They get some tax benefit o lf course

2018-11-17 19:09:18 UTC

But they dont larp as a charity

2018-11-17 19:10:11 UTC

Thing is, without all these regulations, some of these agencies COULD actually operate as charities as well providing healthcare to those who can't afford it

2018-11-17 19:11:16 UTC

Insurance isnt healthcare.

2018-11-17 19:11:25 UTC

But i get your point

2018-11-17 19:11:52 UTC

The one i worked for donated their overage of profit to charity healthcare orgs

2018-11-17 19:12:23 UTC

Why can't they be both? Which is my point.

Did you know that it's federal law that you can't have too many hospitals in one city based upon your population size?

2018-11-17 19:13:48 UTC

Because thats the insurance model. Insurance is a just in case to help pay, not meant for your everyday. Look aat car insurance. It doesnt provide repairs it helps in the unfortunate but also doesnt pay for routine maint.

2018-11-17 19:14:04 UTC

Yea that is a stupid law

2018-11-17 19:14:25 UTC

But one that doesnt matter as most hospitals in most cities are owned by the same group.

2018-11-17 19:14:51 UTC

Probably because of that regulation

2018-11-17 19:15:18 UTC

I assume the gov was acting like hospitals and schools are similar in that regard

2018-11-17 19:18:25 UTC

There are many factors to that. Creation of the fda, america increasing its r&d rates, various insurance regulations, ect.

2018-11-17 19:19:19 UTC

Speaking of the FDA, gotta love their nanny state mindset with the ban on flavors of ecig, menthol cigs and all flavored cigars

2018-11-17 19:20:21 UTC

Best thing trump did for the medical market aside from dismantling the mandate was allow experimental non fda approved treatments in otherwise fatal diseases.

2018-11-17 19:29:35 UTC

Now if we can expand that further itd be great.

They're doing cool shit with stem cells in Panama

2018-11-17 19:31:47 UTC

I mean FDA has a use. It keeps all the scammy shit at bay. But still it has grown to much.

2018-11-17 20:57:59 UTC

I can see it both ways. There's definitely good and bad points for both a small and a large FDA.

2018-11-17 21:02:20 UTC

Nah, it's too big.

2018-11-17 21:02:44 UTC

The FDA was like many agencies. Born from good intentions that got out of hand.

2018-11-17 21:03:08 UTC

It's like a natural law or something at this point

2018-11-17 21:03:44 UTC

Basically. Unless some massive restrictions are placed on the agency beforehand that are airtight and the sitting pres cant adjust them.

2018-11-17 21:04:28 UTC

But then you run into constitutional basis. As those agencies survive at the perview of the president as they belong to executive branch.

2018-11-17 21:04:41 UTC

Like: The FDA shall be limited to securing the purity of consumable products.

2018-11-17 21:26:15 UTC

The only reason this "cold war" as Farage called it exists, is because of Trump's hostile attitudes to the European Union, after it raised tariffs and started to openly criticise their NATO budget expenses. That is the EU's response, instead of having to deal with NATO, they'll build up their own military union

2018-11-19 16:07:50 UTC

They were planning this since well before that, donโ€™t be retarded. And they already had tariffs on us. Donโ€™t complain and start being all altruistic EU when we do it right back.

Trump put America before the EU?

2018-11-19 16:07:58 UTC

Just pull out of the continent and have a Molotov-Ribbentrop pact with Russia then

HOW VERY DARE HE!!!!!

2018-11-19 16:54:25 UTC

@RoyHavenstone | Extra Theyโ€™re trying to make a false equivalence, itโ€™s retarded.

2018-11-19 16:59:22 UTC

@meratrix In what way?

2018-11-19 17:11:54 UTC

On the surface it makes sense, โ€œJust because itโ€™s legal doesnโ€™t make it rightโ€. But what I got from that is that theyโ€™re trying to say that what weโ€™re doing today as a society will be considered โ€œevilโ€ in the future. Which by itself makes no sense because we have plenty of laws that are over a century old that are not immoral. By itself, it seems to me that sheโ€™s trying to make the that argument. In reality, even by the commonly held morals of those times those actions weโ€™re considered immoral, so using that as a way to say the future will consider us immoral, I find, to be dishonest.

2018-11-19 17:25:49 UTC

@meratrix Ok, thank you so much.
