"that does it's job well with out cost over runs"

2020-02-02 09:49:49 UTC  

what do you mean by that

2020-02-02 09:50:14 UTC  

how about a road department that has good roads with out being over budget?

2020-02-02 09:50:40 UTC  

a brige that was built early and cheaper the was quoted while being better then promised?

2020-02-02 09:50:44 UTC  

well again i would say that liberal governments are inefficient by design

2020-02-02 09:51:07 UTC  

so why do you want the governments running things?

2020-02-02 09:51:10 UTC  

and corporations here would not be equivalent to the sort of government programs you're talking about

2020-02-02 09:51:17 UTC  

i want the government to be more efficient

2020-02-02 09:51:32 UTC  

not gonna happen, the government has no REASON to be more efficient.

2020-02-02 09:51:39 UTC  

we could start by scrapping congress and replacing the president with an elected monarch

2020-02-02 09:52:02 UTC  

would you be ok when Trump gets elected to that spot?

2020-02-02 09:52:14 UTC  

or would you whine about him being all powerfull?

2020-02-02 09:52:20 UTC  

certainly not my first choice but i'd take it

2020-02-02 09:52:45 UTC  

sure, well about half of the US wouldn't, they couldn't even take him for 4 years being the president.

2020-02-02 09:53:02 UTC  

sure and that's part of the problem with the system

2020-02-02 09:53:33 UTC  

so let me ask you something, because we aint getting anywhere here.

why does the owner of a bussness owe it to their employees?

2020-02-02 09:53:59 UTC  

they owe it to the nation

2020-02-02 09:55:04 UTC  

so lets say I own a transport truck that i bought by saveing up my own money, and I deside insted of driveing it myself i'm gonna hire someone to drive it.
why should that hireling get ownership of the truck I bought myself?

2020-02-02 09:55:42 UTC  

because that is what you are saying, just on a larger scale.

2020-02-02 09:56:54 UTC  

how about a chair factroy? I started out just building the chairs myself but i bought better tools and now demand is outstriping my abilty to build the chairs so I hire someone.
why should they own part of my workshop?

2020-02-02 09:57:55 UTC  

how do i contact a mod?

2020-02-02 09:58:11 UTC  

would a mod be able to jump into the long walls pls

2020-02-02 09:58:20 UTC  

no idea, not here.

2020-02-02 09:59:28 UTC  

@Kingy200 is unable to access the us politics and either has his rank bugged or banned for no reason, so if a mod could msg him that would be appriciated

2020-02-02 09:59:34 UTC  

thank you - the chef

2020-02-02 09:59:55 UTC  

hmm... best i can offer is "check the rules for advice"

2020-02-02 10:00:24 UTC  

@ARockRaider depends on how much you own

2020-02-02 10:00:50 UTC  

why does it matter how much I own? why should I be forced to give my equpment to people i just hired?

2020-02-02 10:00:52 UTC  

at a certain level labor and the state should get a share, to ensure that capital is not used against their interests

2020-02-02 10:01:20 UTC  

because the degree to which capital is concentrated affects the degree to which your firm becomes an institution with political power

2020-02-02 10:02:08 UTC  

well here is how you protect yourself form anything any employer could ever do to you, save around 6 months of expences, if you employer does something you don't llike, leave you have 6 months to find another job or even make one yourself.

2020-02-02 10:02:46 UTC  

if you want to talk about capital being used against an employees interests take a look at what unions have become.

2020-02-02 10:03:29 UTC  

and what you are talking about isn't much better then how shareholders are now, might even be worse.

2020-02-02 10:04:06 UTC  

how would you even fire someone in that situation?

2020-02-02 10:04:20 UTC  

saving is easier said than done for a lot of people, and in any case you are placing a huge burden on labor to find favorable employment situations

2020-02-02 10:04:27 UTC  

the same way you would fire someone now? what do you mean

2020-02-02 10:04:46 UTC  

said person OWNS part of the company.

2020-02-02 10:05:24 UTC  

yeah part

2020-02-02 10:05:28 UTC  

not all

2020-02-02 10:05:29 UTC  

or are you talking about just something like a union, where the people aren't really the ones makeing the choices, just some guy who says he is working in their interest.

2020-02-02 10:05:30 UTC  

not a majority
