Hard to know what to say to these stories anymore. But one idea is:

One thing you can do is write to your MP or representative.
Here is a letter template to write to your MP if you are in the uk - you could also use the template in the US or elsewhere in the world : https://www.theclimatecoalition.org/write-to-your-mp

HubertManne, in Pay Transparency Is Sweeping Across the US (Paywall)
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

This is the number one reason they have to use recruiters. If im looking I respond to adverts with pay scales that meet my minimum or the same with recruiters but since recruiters are an open communication channel I will give a chance to answer if the position can meet my floor. Not putting in the compensation is like putting an ad out looking for the worst and dimmest and they are likely not to get many bites from them either.

In some cases they work for a employer. The successful type ones, although I guess im not real sure if you can call someone who can't get workers and employer anymore. So the more I think of it he is right. There are business owners and then there are successful business owners which can also be called employers.

He’s walked back the statement a bit since this video came out. Still a tone deaf statement, right up there with “let them eat cake”.

mPony,

he only walked it back because he still has functioning legs

Please report companies when they are breaking this law! People think this is unenforceable, but that’s incorrect. Each state has a way to report law breaking companies. Lack of pay transparency causes substantial illegal discrimination against all different classes.

And how does he expect businesses to stay afloat with half their staff? Does he believe businesses don't need labor? Unemployment at 40-50% would indicate an economy in shambles.

Personally, I'd like to see Tim Gurner's properties rise to a 40-50% vacancy rate to remind him that properties require people to be of any use or value.

I don't know how he thinks 40-50% unemployment rate would lead to a functional economy. If half the population can't afford to buy anything, does he really think that's going to be good for businesses? Unless he's an advocate for universal basic income, of course, but something tells me he's not...

mPony,

he's an advocate for universal basic poverty

elon musk, alex jones and andrew tate are all vouching for him. Personally if I had people like that vouching for me I would try to keep it a secret.

intensely_human, in US military asks the public for help finding its missing F-35 fighter jet after its pilot had to eject while training over South Carolina

This is strange. It almost makes me think the scenario was an elaborate ruse to capture an F-35:

  • get an inside man to mess with the avionics
  • including turning off location telemetry
  • simulate a failure that requires an ejection
  • fly the plane into the ocean using autopilot
  • recover via submarine

ono, in With democracy on the ballot, the mainstream press must change its ways

“We have to be truthful, not neutral,” she urged. “I would make sure that you don’t just give a platform … to those who want to crash down the constitution and democracy.”

The importance of this cannot be overstated. Here’s hoping the press rises to the challenge of responsible journalism.
