Saw a clip of him saying that the only legal immigration he wants is foreigners training Americans to do high-tech stuff. Big step up from letting anyone in, but do Americans really need Indian “training”?
Who said that Indians would be doing the training? Trump is referring to actual experts like Korean battery chemists and Taiwanese fab designers.
 
It’s law that the company has to serve a very narrowly defined view of their benefit.
It’s not. State law governs corporations as well as all other business entities, so there’s obviously variance in the law here, but pretty much every jurisdiction to my knowledge has discarded a strict view of Dodge v. Ford Motor Co. that requires the Board and Officers to essentially apply a maximization function for shareholder profits. Not even Dodge actually had that view for that matter, so I’m not entirely sure where it comes from.

The Business Judgement rule gives the board and officers very wide latitude in their actions, as long as they can point to some link to corporations benefit they can do nearly anything. It can be as simple as increasing companies PR, which is the basis for lots of donations and such that corps make. And this isn’t even getting into the public benefit corps, or those states that have essentially discarded the Shareholder Primacy view of Dodge.

In short, no, the law actually says that “the company,” acting through its Board of Directors and Officers, actually has very very broad discretion when acting in the company’s benefit. Arguably the broadest in law.

And how is suing a company not ultimately suing them with extra steps?
Limited liability, meaning a plaintiff can’t normally get to shareholders personal assets. This is one of the hallmarks of the corporation, which makes it such a powerful business enterprise capable of encouraging the economic growth it does.

What exactly is progressive about being a sex worker?
Literally nothing. It is the world's oldest profession -- the very first thing women learned they could do besides giving birth to children and raising them. It's the most regressive, reductive behavior imaginable: make yourself (and your private parts in particular) into an interchangeable commodity product to be rented by the half hour for profit (and only then if you're clever enough not to let a pimp control everything and take all the earnings) and reduce the most intimate act humanity can perform to nothing more than a cash transaction.

If there's anything more degrading to "womankind," I can't think of it.
 
What exactly is progressive about being a sex worker? You're basically selling out your body and "femininity" to the highest bidder. Only twist I can see with it would be allowing women to dominate their sexuality towards unsavory or desperate men.
It damages the culture and civilization they do it in. That's "progress" when you're a marxist piece of shit who thinks the only thing stopping the grand cultural revolution that will bring your buddies into power forever in a utopia where the free shit fairy will provide for your every need forever is that the average citizen is complacent.

I'm sick and tired of this narrative—prostitution isn't the world's oldest profession. What are they supposed to be prostituting themselves for? It may have been one of the first ten, but it wasn't the first. Hunting, gathering, making sharp sticks, making fire, war. These jobs needed to exist before prostitution, because everything before that was just sex and procreation.
 
I just asked the Trump thread how they felt about me if I didn't like everything he's done, but also like some of the other things he's done, and kind of consider him a dumbass who is sometimes right, and they were rather welcoming all things considered. So maybe everyone can get along after all? Is this whole political divide fake and gay after all? Lets all get along instead, we can laugh together!
 
South Korea getting mad at the US after their quasi-state company broke US law, really does not engender me to their new temporary gook in charge.
New gook is dogshit. The old gook who declared martial law was probably 100% justified in doing so with how CCP'd the whole SK political edifice is. Their most recent election was sketchier than 2020.
 
So maybe everyone can get along after all? Is this whole political divide fake and gay after all?
Yes. The "culture war" is being used as a smokescreen by both sides of the political spectrum to maintain the illusion of an intelligent, functional government, preventing the people from actually trying to unify and find common ground to push for things to actually get done. It gets votes and helps keep the average American distracted while the politicians fuck them in the ass six ways from Sunday.
 
The main point of homeschooling is to ensure children are not brainwashed with the malignant ideology that prevails in government schools. A New Jersey bill responds with neoliberals’ favorite tactic, coercion:

I think has been posted before. But how would NJ make sure all home schools are using DEI teachings?
 
Holy shit, how are these people real?
How much brain damage and drug abuse does one need to reach levels of retardation this high? How can someone blindly, unquestionably just eat the garbage their professors feed them, without spending 10min on honest research about a topic?
I feel very sorry for the younger generations. Can you imagine going to college and these are your peers? Fucking hell.
No wonder people aren't getting married anymore. Who tf would want to marry some brain rotted college ""educated"" NPC like this?

What angers me most is all the job offers he threw out. Even if they were absolutely fake, I would have been entertaining them. I’ve been out of work since February and can’t find a damn thing, I’d fucking mop the floors of a building for 40 hours of a week if I could, but not even a McDonald’s is willing to look at my applications. These entitled commies are the worst
 
Two prominent themes in modern liberalism are identity politics and destigmatization. Where they overlap, you will find the Black Sex Worker Collective (archive):

I really honestly find this sort of thing unintentionally incredibly insulting rather than empowering - my first thought was something akin to a bedwarmer on a slave ship. This is the last thing any women's organizations should be endorsing.
