In life Physics, there is this thing called action and reaction.

[s]There are people who say they don't take nonsense, those people are usually aggressive. When you step on their toe, they get aggressive, they don't back down.

Russia does not want NATO at its backyard, Russia does not have the right to dictate who joins and don't join NATO. The west knows that Russia does not want NATO expanding to its backyard and they are provoking Russia by expanding, so Russia is aggressive [/s]

They don't need union to act. If they feel they are not getting treated paid adequately, they can all decide to strike...
That is why they need a union. You'd find it hard to strike without one.

When trump reduced tax, they hired more people and increase bonuses for their workers. There is a reason why they outsource production right? And tax is the main reason. Check out all the jobs lost to China who pay peanuts to their workers.

US can't compete because it's wrong to pay workers less than standards. So yes, if they increase tax you may lose your job.

There is always unions which is good sometimes and bad sometimes. Unions are not formed because of ripping off, they are formed for job security and freedom to express one's self.

They don't need union to act. If they feel they are not getting paid adequately, they can all decide to strike...

I don't understand too. I never liked Jeff, but he is doing what every business owner would do. If his workers are not happy they would leave...
Exactly, is you want Amazon to pay its fair share in taxes instead of using loopholes to pay less then you make sure those loopholes don't exist. The duty of the CEO of any corporation is to maximize profits for the shareholders.

Sweden and Finland don't want to take any chances.. They know what Hitler did to Poland. But I think only Sweden can take on Russia.

Again, I said they don't have the right to dictate who joins and who does not join. But ukraine shares border with Russia, so yes, it is their backyard.

At your backyard there is usually a fence that demarcate your neighbors backyard from yours.
Russia's problem is that they don't want NATO close by, that's their problem.

A lot of things may be at play... The pipes and other things but at least they have an excuse that they can use to disguise their other motives.

For me, I think both NATO and Russia are crazy. And China must be dragged into this should serious conflict start. So WW3 is what we are talking about.
To me, it sounds like Russia is going beyond its borders and placing it's fence in its neighbours yard.

It's tricky, and reminds me of my days in town planning. Say you want to build a soakaway in your yard but across the fence in my yard is my well. Russia probably sees this like I would.

Dr.Oz being the GQP nominee for senate in Pennsylvania is prayer answered for democrats this November.

Trump backed Cawthorn lost, Trump backed Oz is struggling to win.
Democrats are going to have a swell time in PA. Hold on to Georgia and Arizona and Kiss Manchinema goodbye.

A large % of candidates endorsed by the Criminal trump are all losing even in the GOP primary. It's even shocking that Criminal trump, a thief, liar, and a traitor could even endorse anyone - guess that's the beauty of American freedom.

Linking inflation to tax is just dumb.

Bezos is a cool head. He did nothing but call out the stupidity of that link.

As he said, calling out Amazon union issues is fine. Calling out taxation is fine.

But linking taxation to inflation is foolish.

Bezos is no longer CEO of Amazon. One thing is sure, you cannot press a company to pay more tax so far as what they are doing is legal. You can only legislate them to pay more. Their duty is to their shareholders and the market, not the Government.

Trump slashed corporation tax by 40% and that was the beginning of the widening gap in Government deficits. That is a matter that should be tackled through laws, not by dragging Bezos online.
Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by AmazonTopaz(f): 6:12am On May 18, 2022
Lol, Dr Oz was losing to Mcormick earlier but by midnight the votes started tilting to his favour.

I am sure Trump and MAGA will claim that it is rigged same way they claimed that Biden's win was rigged.

Stop the count. grin grin

Throw your both sideism trash into the gutter. When supporters of grifters like you get cornered and virtually have no answer again, you bring out both sides debate. Rubbish. How did NATO go nuts? You can't even explain other than citing some 4chan shit.

Bezos started the drag. He could have just shut up and see what President Biden has planned to fight this inflation.

It's a disgrace that Criminal trump could even endorse anyone after Jan.6th. I pray the DOJ moves fast to indict this mf

His tweet had 2 parts.

The first part was sound - calling out a tenuous link between tax and inflation

The second part was where he crossed the line, stating that BBB would have increased inflation. Business men should stay out of Govt agenda that doesn't concern their company directly.

He's been getting more active on Twitter since Elon launched Twitter bid. Baba is trying to compete for popularity. But the dragging is unnecessary as Bezos has always been friendly to rational centrist Govts.

They proceeded to drag Baba on the Union issue - another reason why Bizmen should be quiet because if you challenge Govt on one thing, they will drag every matter even if it's unrelated. Business is focussed, while Politics is petty, so best to stay out. However the point stands, linking tax to inflation is büllshit.

Yep. The democratic base will get rid of anybody that will threaten Biden's agenda during the primaries.
