  • I think the funniest part about those meetings or “lessons” is that it’s very clearly an attempt by the corporate leadership to try to get in front of all of the research that keeps coming out that showcases that the modern sensibilities for corporate work culture are just not working and it’s costing companies more money than it’s making them. And that companies need to acknowledge burnout and do things that attempt to fix it, but the things they need to do to fix it like paying employees more per hour and then giving them less hours is so backwards to the corporate thought of more hours less pay that they’re trying to get ahead of the research to lead it where they want it to go and it just keeps barreling through them.








  • A few points:

    1. You misunderstood why you were shooting the Pinkertons. It wasn’t because you were forming unions, it’s because you were costing the government money.
    2. You are overestimating the amount of people actually care about that sort of thing. The sheer numbers of people who say one thing and then spend their money however they want is exponentially more than any that would abstain.
    3. GTA6 is going to be a zeitgeist touchstone game. People are going to buy it and play just so they won’t miss out and to be able to be a part of any conversation.
    4. People aren’t going to pirate it. “But it’s easy! And it doesn’t give money to R*!”. Is it as easy as giving a clerk $80USD? Then people who couldn’t care less about the ethics of R* aren’t going to pirate it.

  • On the one hand the wealthy do need to start contributing to the systems they take advantage of. As well as the loop holes that protect them, they need to be closed.

    On the other hand the sheer volume of blame the rich for literally everything. It’s like a less self aware version of “Thanks Obama!”. You aren’t in a bad way because of rich people. You’re in a bad way because you blew your housing payment on this year’s cellphone model while the one you have still works flawlessly.
