Which can be liquidated and used.

2019-09-06 00:52:00 UTC  

Even if they do that. So what?

2019-09-06 00:52:03 UTC  

Let them crash their company.

2019-09-06 00:52:29 UTC  

Actual growth is healthy. Things like becoming better at supplying the needs of their customers and employees. This is healthy. What instead happens is shenanigans, pr, and bookkeeping wizardy to make their stocks look really good, so the shareholders take home more money.

2019-09-06 00:53:17 UTC  

That would be fine, if that's what actually happened. Crashing the company. But they often get bailouts, and have clever ways due to corporate structure of avoiding accountability for failure.

2019-09-06 00:53:18 UTC  

"bookkeeping wizardry" => fire some people

2019-09-06 00:53:25 UTC  

pretty much

2019-09-06 00:53:31 UTC  

Then don't bail them out.

2019-09-06 00:53:35 UTC  

at least that's what it is part of the time

2019-09-06 00:53:38 UTC  

yeah no joke, it happened last month at our place.

2019-09-06 00:53:43 UTC  

"too big to fail"

2019-09-06 00:54:19 UTC  

They *should* be allowed to fail. They just often *aren't*

2019-09-06 00:54:27 UTC  

Then don't bail them out.

2019-09-06 00:54:53 UTC  

because unfortunately, it's all a hot mess, with people in the government administration deriving their own wealth from the stock market rates of these companies

2019-09-06 00:55:02 UTC  

2 weeks before the shareholder meeting 5 people i know directly lost their jobs - 3 redundancies and 2 bullshit firings, another entire team got TUPEd - that's just scratching the surface. they cleaned house before the shareholder meeting basically

2019-09-06 00:55:53 UTC  

It's all tied together. The establishment is rotten to the core.

2019-09-06 00:56:08 UTC  

the redundant people are being re-hired, in india naturally

2019-09-06 00:56:15 UTC  

lol

2019-09-06 00:56:20 UTC  

enjoy your spaghetti code

2019-09-06 00:56:41 UTC  

but the thing was so obviously a sudden 'adjustment' of outgoings, their management seemed to be taken by surprise by it too

2019-09-06 00:57:10 UTC  

anyway, I need to go eat

2019-09-06 00:57:17 UTC  

later

2019-09-06 00:59:02 UTC  

Hmmm... are reference to Pajeet Technocracy...

watching older chapelle stuff since i enjoyed his new one so much that upset the progressives

2019-09-06 01:05:53 UTC  

just shows how the goalposts have changed, because the content isn't much different yet this got rave reviews

2019-09-06 01:13:31 UTC  

Why is fully auto gay space communism and project venus on opposite sides?

2019-09-06 01:15:00 UTC  

It's the "Destiny vs. Will" axis. Not authoritarian-libertarian.

2019-09-06 01:15:07 UTC  

I'm aware

2019-09-06 01:15:35 UTC  

I guess, Fully Automated Gay Space Communism is "inevitable" by it's proponents, where as Project Venus requires will to achieve.

2019-09-06 01:16:01 UTC  

it would probably help if the person laying this out provided more of a definition for each of these things

2019-09-06 01:16:12 UTC  

Yeah, it would.

2019-09-06 01:16:38 UTC  

and the eco-fash global genocide seems like it should be reverse with malthusian correcting collapse

2019-09-06 01:16:43 UTC  

For example, is Eco-fash Global Genocide "inevitability" but Malthusian Correcting Collapse achieved through "will" only?

2019-09-06 01:16:45 UTC  

boring shit seems fairly obvious. everything still sucks but some of the cars can fly and some people are NPCs

2019-09-06 01:17:02 UTC  

Oh, @Miniature Menace spotted the very same contradiction.

2019-09-06 01:17:05 UTC  

At the same time.

2019-09-06 01:17:19 UTC  

Yeah, that chart has some oddities.

2019-09-06 01:18:11 UTC  

Anyway, I finished watching Bakemonogatari pedo arc (Mayoi snail). Now off to watch ep 06 and onwards (Suruga monkey arc).

2019-09-06 01:18:29 UTC  

>pedo arc

2019-09-06 01:18:44 UTC  

why not watch boku no pico instead?
