"i'm the first lesbian gay underwater lobster to be a CEO"
But it's true, a taxpayer funded media should be a fair reflection of the taxpayers.
And ABC is not that.
It wasn't always so bad.
Fuck the ABC govt shouldn't pay for media
Independent stations at least reflect something because they have to appeal to a demographic to make money
The argument is that it is a media outside of financial influence. It is independent, and for the people.
just like the bbc
lol
Just like unions are "for the people"
Until the guy at the top decides fuck y'all
But the march through the institutions means it's been corrupted.
I've been well-represented by unions in OZ my whole life.
ABC is exclusive inner city liberal type shit
Much better than in other places.
But again, yes, corruption exists.
Well in 2012 l;ike 3 unions went down for massive corruption
Labor candidates in NSW in kahoots with them
The problem isn't the institutions themselves.
Eddie Obeid was the big one
Sure.
I mean the problem with communism is that if it worked it would be great but it doesn't because it can be perverted
you gotta make the system so it cannot be corrupted
not the other way around
Yeah most unions seem to run for profit in my experiences
That seems to be just as utopian as communism.
unions are security valves, when's the last time you saw an union really get to the bottom of an issue instead of faking outrage only to be satisfied with breadcrumbs
In fact, it looks like what the communists argue in some ways.
I have no doubt there's union corruption.
Well the problem is you can't make anything air tight
There is corruption everywhere.
just more degrees of "security"
I just think that unions are in principle a good thing.
My union signed away the benefits of new employees for benefits for old employees
They are why you have weekends.
I think Unions have been quickly superceded by social media
I don't have weekends though
Social media can organise people a lot quicker than Unions
You have time and a half and doublt time, then. Or you did...
