When you’re the biggest shop in your town it’s because you do good work.

When you’re the biggest shop in the world it’s because you’re scamming your clients.

That’s the system we have right now and it doesn’t work. Soooo…

This is like you breaking up with a toxic girlfriend and she tells you “oh yeah well other people are still gonna date me idiot!”

The point is that if max pay gap laws are passed, CEOs will just hide their actual pay in external resources and normal employees will still make exactly the same.

You’d be an idiot not to. That was the very first thing I thought of.

I’m not limiting this to work.

And of course you can have a relationship with someone remotely.

But overall, for the average person, in-person relationships are going to be stronger. Friends, family, romantic relationships, hobbies, work, you name it.

It’s honestly like someone comes up to you and tells you that you have to win class president for the local kindergarten.

You’d love to talk about stuff like human rights or healthcare but you know that if you want to win the election you need to promise them longer naps and candy every Monday.

I think that any study you find over the past 30 years will show that while online relationships can be meaningful in some cases, the average person will not form as strong a connection as they would in person.

Really? Have you been on the internet?

Politics only mimics what the people are already interested in. And social media made the people interested in hating eachother. Until that changes politics won’t change.

Because the #1 reason why employees will stay at a job that underpays them is because they like the people they work with. And you can’t form those bonds remotely.

Same with my company. Less drama. Record profits.

Even if they do remove it, I’m sure a browser extension will just step in to mimic it as best as possible.

I don’t use Facebook so I don’t know -

Why can’t you just have a group text with your family.

Imagine when some popular show decides to make seasons 1-3 on one platform and then 4,5 on a different one and then 6 on another different one.

Salon.com only exists to provide a headline for people to circle-jerk about in the comments on their favorite social media platform.

Republicans have those too. But this is a Democrat one.

The psychological ramifications of that are immense. It would destroy people. It would be no different than any other drug.

When did we stop collapsing

Sure but thats not what we’re talking about

Bro people marched on the capitol for trump wtf are you talking about.

Honestly it’s just as easy as the media deciding they want us all to be friends again.

That’s legit all it takes.

If left and right wing media outlets would just start an initiative to bring the country together, everyone would fall in line. People only think what they are told to think.

The issue is that these corporations want money, and happiness doesn’t make money.
