Well by definition wealthy means not having an issue with disposable income so.... It would be weird if they did slow down. | [

">\n\nIn case no one has been paying attention the past few years has been nothing BUT wealth transference.",
">\n\nJust the past few years?",
">\n\nokay especially the past few years",
">\n\nWell no shit. They haven't run out of our money yet.",
">\n\nRecessions are just opportunities for the wealthy to buy cheap stocks and properties and eventually make even more money",
">\n\nEverytime the economy gets ugly for the 99%, we get the perennial \"luxury items defy economic downturn\" news stories. Like you said, they aren't hurt in any way by plunging property values, or stocks, pennies on the dollar works great for them in the long run.",
">\n\nThe ultra wealthy could lose 99% of their wealth and still afford a Rolls-Royce without blinking an eye",

">\n\nYou need to suck harder",

">\n\nRich get richer...\nDifferent world and I'm not interested beyond this post.",
">\n\nLook up what the media stopped and started talking about in 2012 after law enforcement and feds were used to shut down Occupy Wall Street. \nThe 1% has successfully kept us distracted for over a decade.",
">\n\nWhy did they?",
">\n\nWealthy people already have more than enough money to cushion them from recession so why should they care enough to spend frugally or responsibly?",
">\n\nIf anything the spend more, my FIL is in the middle millions and is excited for a recession because he wants to buy a bunch of lakeside property.\nI honestly despise wealthy people, we need a wealth tax so fucking bad.",
">\n\nDude why do you have wealthy people aren’t you one of them and that is awesome 👏",
">\n\nI mean I am well off for sure, but I wouldn’t consider my partners families money mine. \nWe don’t ask her parents for anything, and won’t see any of that money until they die, and her father will probably outlive us because he’s too stubborn to die, lmao.\nMy partner makes good money but donates like half of it to local charities. And our money all gets taxed out the ass since it’s income and not compounding wealth. I’d barely consider us “Rich” more upper middle class. But both of us could work until we are 100 and not have the money her father does. \nThat’s wealthy, his money makes more money every month than we do in a year. And he pays less tax on it than we do on our incomes. Those are the people I hate, because the system is so broken in their favour and yet they still do everything they can to further break it, or manipulate it in anyway they can. Now I play nice around him out of respect for my partner, and the last thing I need is a spiteful multimillionaire crushing every future job opportunity I ever have since he knows seemingly every CEO in the damn city. Instead I try to bring up philanthropy or try to promote ideas like paying staff better, etc. and hope that maybe something sticks. To give him credit he did have his company give out significantly bigger Christmas bonuses last year and tied wage increases to the government inflation index. But he could easily do more which is what frustrates me.",
">\n\nWhy does your partner send so much to charities like isn’t 10 percent good and second aren’t charities a write off so your partner doesn’t have to pay too much tax",
">\n\nShe does it because she’s a good person and we really don’t need the extra money. She doesn’t just do it to save on taxes, our accountant keeps telling her to give less to charity because she regularly contributes more than we can write off. But yes, we do get a hefty refund, often times more than what many people earn in a year, but that’s only ever a portion of what she gave to charities, plus she sends her refund to the same charities, which end up getting her close to or pushing past the maximum donation credit every year.\nA big reason she does this is because after her dad made his fortune he sold his company and moved them across the country to buy a different company. And they ended up living outside a small town, so she went to public school, and started to see how starkly different normal peoples lives are and started to resent their money because she would constantly need to beg her dad to help pay for her friends so that they could actually do stuff together. And then when she went to go to University, pretty much none of her friends applied, because they didn’t have the money. \nNow she works with charities to provide scholarships to as many students as possible, they built a recreation centre that is free for anyone under 18, they have free sports programs for students in median and below income families. She works on the board of a couple of them and essentially tries to convince as many other rich people that she can to donate more of their money, simply because not everyone has a privileged upbringing, but children shouldn’t be punished because their parents aren’t rich.\nBut the underlying irony, is that the government could literally do all of this, if they simply had more tax revenue from the rich. And literally everyone of them could afford it.",
">\n\nhow nice for them\nand next the republicans they bought will cut SS/Medicare just to pile on \nglad their cars are nice though",
">\n\nYeah cuz Dems are sooo mich better and totally work for the people",
">\n\nRepublicans gave out PPP loans explicitly with no oversight and intending to forgive them from the get go. Democrats want to forgive student loans crushing the working class and Republicans are standing in the way saying no.",
">\n\nYeah. This is what we need to gauge our economic state. The people that aren’t monetarily walking a knifes edge are still buying expensive shit. Better raise interest rates to slow them down.",
">\n\nIs it time to eat them yet? Or is everyone still too scared to get in trouble?",
">\n\nmillionaires are the new middle class",
">\n\nThe middle class is a myth.",
">\n\nThere always has to be a middle. Sigh. I am middle class (and a millionaire). Went to super market yesterday and parked next to a maserati suv. Like how do people have so much money? My kids walk to their neighborhood public school but I have noticed at least two bentley suv’s dropping off kids. I guess need to differentiate from all the standard lux cars.",

">\n\nWho the hell cares? No recession or depression can be bad enough for the wealthy, especially the kind that don't care if they lose a few hundred k, let alone a million or two.\nWhy are we focused on this?",

">\n\nWell they pretty much robbed the middle and lower class, so yeah.",
">\n\nThey have all of the money now, having taken everything what used to be the middle class. It isn't surprising.",

">\n\nDoes Hot Wheels even make a Rolls?",
">\n\nWhy would they slow down? They have all our money",
">\n\nProductivity has gone up steadily the last 50 years, but people are getting paid less and less adjusting for inflation.

">\n\nSign of the times. Just like the 1920’s.",
">\n\nThe middle classes so didn't slow down in spending.",
">\n\nBut inflation. Poor people. Stop spending.",
">\n\nThere was a hot tub shortage during the pandemic. Also hard to find a contractor to do home rem9dels. \nLots of money out there and it isnt just the rich that have it.",

Super cute. One of those cars could feed and house a lot of people. Who cares about the poors tho, we gotta pull up our boot straps if we want a million. This is gross | [

She works on the board of a couple of them and essentially tries to convince as many other rich people that she can to donate more of their money, simply because not everyone has a privileged upbringing, but children shouldn’t be punished because their parents aren’t rich.\nBut the underlying irony, is that the government could literally do all of this, if they simply had more tax revenue from the rich.

My only solace is most of these people live miserable lives - they just hide it. Imagine having all the coin and still being a miserable insufferable PoS(Musk, Bezos). If these people were truly happy they'd walk off into the sunset and we'd (thankfully) would rarely hear from them. | [

">\n\nWhy does your partner send so much to charities like isn’t 10 percent good and second aren’t charities a write off so your partner doesn’t have to pay too much tax",
">\n\nShe does it because she’s a good person and we really don’t need the extra money. She doesn’t just do it to save on taxes, our accountant keeps telling her to give less to charity because she regularly contributes more than we can write off. But yes, we do get a hefty refund, often times more than what many people earn in a year, but that’s only ever a portion of what she gave to charities, plus she sends her refund to the same charities, which end up getting her close to or pushing past the maximum donation credit every year.\nA big reason she does this is because after her dad made his fortune he sold his company and moved them across the country to buy a different company. And they ended up living outside a small town, so she went to public school, and started to see how starkly different normal peoples lives are and started to resent their money because she would constantly need to beg her dad to help pay for her friends so that they could actually do stuff together. And then when she went to go to University, pretty much none of her friends applied, because they didn’t have the money. \nNow she works with charities to provide scholarships to as many students as possible, they built a recreation centre that is free for anyone under 18, they have free sports programs for students in median and below income families. She works on the board of a couple of them and essentially tries to convince as many other rich people that she can to donate more of their money, simply because not everyone has a privileged upbringing, but children shouldn’t be punished because their parents aren’t rich.\nBut the underlying irony, is that the government could literally do all of this, if they simply had more tax revenue from the rich.

And they ended up living outside a small town, so she went to public school, and started to see how starkly different normal peoples lives are and started to resent their money because she would constantly need to beg her dad to help pay for her friends so that they could actually do stuff together.

But yes, we do get a hefty refund, often times more than what many people earn in a year, but that’s only ever a portion of what she gave to charities, plus she sends her refund to the same charities, which end up getting her close to or pushing past the maximum donation credit every year.\nA big reason she does this is because after her dad made his fortune he sold his company and moved them across the country to buy a different company. And they ended up living outside a small town, so she went to public school, and started to see how starkly different normal peoples lives are and started to resent their money because she would constantly need to beg her dad to help pay for her friends so that they could actually do stuff together. And then when she went to go to University, pretty much none of her friends applied, because they didn’t have the money. \nNow she works with charities to provide scholarships to as many students as possible, they built a recreation centre that is free for anyone under 18, they have free sports programs for students in median and below income families. She works on the board of a couple of them and essentially tries to convince as many other rich people that she can to donate more of their money, simply because not everyone has a privileged upbringing, but children shouldn’t be punished because their parents aren’t rich.\nBut the underlying irony, is that the government could literally do all of this, if they simply had more tax revenue from the rich. And literally everyone of them could afford it.",
">\n\nhow nice for them\nand next the republicans they bought will cut SS/Medicare just to pile on \nglad their cars are nice though",
">\n\nYeah cuz Dems are sooo mich better and totally work for the people",
">\n\nRepublicans gave out PPP loans explicitly with no oversight and intending to forgive them from the get go. Democrats want to forgive student loans crushing the working class and Republicans are standing in the way saying no.",
">\n\nYeah. This is what we need to gauge our economic state. The people that aren’t monetarily walking a knifes edge are still buying expensive shit. Better raise interest rates to slow them down.",

">\n\nmillionaires are the new middle class",
">\n\nThe middle class is a myth.",
">\n\nThere always has to be a middle. Sigh. I am middle class (and a millionaire). Went to super market yesterday and parked next to a maserati suv. Like how do people have so much money? My kids walk to their neighborhood public school but I have noticed at least two bentley suv’s dropping off kids. I guess need to differentiate from all the standard lux cars.",

">\n\nWhy would it slow dpw? They have been milking the poor and middle class dry at every opportunity.",
">\n\nIt's almost like the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer 🤔.",
">\n\nTrickle down economics right",
">\n\nWho the hell cares? No recession or depression can be bad enough for the wealthy, especially the kind that don't care if they lose a few hundred k, let alone a million or two.\nWhy are we focused on this?",
">\n\nThey're wealthy because of the work all the poors do. All those investments they park their money in and draw their wealth from wouldn't be worth anything without the poor working slubs making that money for them",
">\n\nInflation makes them richer.\nWar makes them richer.\nPandemics make them richer.\nThe whole world is poorer except the very rich, who are very-much richer. \nWe should all be so very angry about this but we are only internet-angry which is impotent.",
">\n\nWell, what are we going to do? I don't see anyone learning Ninjitsu and finding creative ways to off these people.",
">\n\nI have no practical solution except at the ballot box.",
">\n\nAh yes, the illusion of choice that is voting in the US.",
">\n\nReminder: The US isn't even in the top 20 of most democratic countries. It's classified as a flawed democracy.",
">\n\nThe dialectics are in motion",
">\n\nI dunno. Personally I only bought half as many Rolls-Royce's this year compared to each of the last three.",
">\n\nReally? I bought 5 times more this year than I did over the last decade.",

">\n\nWell they pretty much robbed the middle and lower class, so yeah.",
">\n\nThey have all of the money now, having taken everything what used to be the middle class. It isn't surprising.",
">\n\nThis can't last. I hope they enjoy their short-sightedness.",
">\n\nThese folks never looked at the price tag to begin with. Inflation doesn’t matter to them.",

">\n\nThey have stole all the wealth so this checks out.",
">\n\nGee it's almost like rich people don't have real problems",
">\n\nMaybe we need to help them out of all that money... A little South African justice.",
">\n\nIn most rpg type games I play, I eventually figure out the monetary systems' exploits and stack enough to make the currency meaningless, and go get all the best gear. It's no coincidence that I usually lose interest in the game altogether shortly after that point.",
">\n\nHave you considered becoming a philanthropist and starting charities to help fight goblin illiteracy and provide crypts for homeless undead? Not all heroes kill lich lords, some donate to spay and neuter rescue werewolf adoptions.",
">\n\nThe average price of new car sales keeps rising not b/c they’re getting more expensive, but because the poor are getting priced out of even budget vehicles.",
">\n\nWaelth is being redistributed, but in the wrong direction.",
">\n\nThanks to trickle down economics I was able to purchase a Hot Wheels version after saving for each month of 2022.",
">\n\nDoes Hot Wheels even make a Rolls?",
">\n\nWhy would they slow down? They have all our money",
">\n\nProductivity has gone up steadily the last 50 years, but people are getting paid less and less adjusting for inflation. At the same time lots of companies are running tight budgets.\nAll that wealth missing from the system is being sucked out by these people. They are literally stealing from all of us.",
">\n\nSign of the times. Just like the 1920’s.",
">\n\nThe middle classes so didn't slow down in spending.",
">\n\nBut inflation. Poor people. Stop spending.",
">\n\nThere was a hot tub shortage during the pandemic. Also hard to find a contractor to do home rem9dels. \nLots of money out there and it isnt just the rich that have it.",
">\n\nTheir \"record sales\" was a whooping 6,021 cars worldwide in 2022.\nThat's how many cars GM sells in a day.",
">\n\nThose 6,021 Rolls-Royce cars are worth 3 billion dollars. Wonder what their profit margins are.",
">\n\nWell by definition wealthy means not having an issue with disposable income so.... It would be weird if they did slow down.",
">\n\nSuper cute. One of those cars could feed and house a lot of people. Who cares about the poors tho, we gotta pull up our boot straps if we want a million. This is gross",
">\n\nWell yea they’ve been getting rich by squeezing the public and raiding the treasury. Thanks Congress.",
">\n\nMy only solace is most of these people live miserable lives - they just hide it. Imagine having all the coin and still being a miserable insufferable PoS(Musk, Bezos). If these people were truly happy they'd walk off into the sunset and we'd (thankfully) would rarely hear from them.",
">\n\nPretty sure this is the definition of 'copium'.",
">\n\nUs old folks call them 'sour grapes'.",
">\n\nYou're poor because you rather complain on reddit",
">\n\nJust the system working exactly as it was designed to. Nothing to see here folks.",
">\n\nI see the system continues to work as intended.",
">\n\nIf you’re wealthy, money is just a number… detached from everyday living. So not surprised.",
">\n\nOf course not, they’re richer than ever!",
">\n\nAll those DinkDoink millionaires…",
">\n\nWhy would they slow down their spending??",
">\n\nA lot of cheap credit was available the last 3 years.",
">\n\nOf course not. All of the money is \"trickling\" uphill.",
">\n\nWhy would the wealthy slow down? Pretty much every company had record high profits for 3 years.",
">\n\nHere I am wondering why the fuck romaine lettuce is 9 dollars.",
">\n\nTaking this article with a grain of salt most RR owners replace their cars every 5-10 years and most are replacing their sedans with the more comfortable and practical cullinan",
">\n\nWe should expand their tax loopholes - GOP."

I actually did this once in Ohio. I had a friend that was in the academy and they had a few volunteers. They even bought your drink of choice. They kept track of how much you drank and what times. Then throughout the evening they would do field sobriety tests and breathalyzer. The weirdest part was I had to have my friend come with me any time I left the room to go pee. It was actually really fun. At the end of the night I was dropped off by the local sheriff. | [

We do not use physical sobriety testing in 2023 in the Modern Developed World. Objective, reliable blood alcohol breath testing machines have been available for decades.

Yeah, you can see it clearly in some. Back when I went through the academy (long ago), one of the FST they taught us was to throw a handful of change on the ground and then ask the driver to give you a specific amount (i.e. hand me 30¢).
So many ways to fall at that while being sober. | [

I did this for cannabis when it was first legalized medically here. There were probably 12 of us rotating between groups of police.

When truck drivers walked off the job, the company says some of the concrete already in the process of being delivered was rendered useless. Drivers returned trucks to the company’s facility, some of which had partial or full loads on board. As a result of the strike, concrete hardened in the trucks and had to be broken up before it could be removed, the company says.
Let's use a different example.
Let's say you work at McDonald's as a line cook. In the middle of a shift, you're going to strike for better wages. So, you walk out. You don't take anything with you - you leave all the company property where it is. But... you were in the middle of cooking some burgers. And now, those burgers are burned and unusable.
This case is McDonald's suing the line-workers union for burger damages.
On the surface - I don't see how the union is responsible at all for anything here. Generally speaking - employees are not held responsible for carelessness in the execution of their duties. You can fire them for the carelessness - but you can't sue them for damages and win.
Allowing that would open the door for employers to sue individual employees over basic spillage during the course of business. Which would be disastrous to the economy. Imagine a bartender getting sued by a bar for dropping a bottle of Absolut during a shift.
If SCOTUS overturns Washington's decision - it's going to be a bad road for workers. | [

The only difference is employees can be held liable for damages if the carelessness was intentional, which is what the company is arguing in this case. If the workers planned on striking at a time where it would cause damages to the company, then the company can argue that they are liable.
I don't see how in any world the UNION can be held responsible, though. They should be forced to pursue the damages individually against the employees. | [

Name a job where you can schedule a strike that doesn't cause damage to the company. The entire point of a strike is to inflict lost revenue through the cessation of regular business, and to show the owners how much they actually need their laborers to get anything done. | [

Loss of revenue is not really the same as material damage, though. There's a difference between your line cooks leaving in the middle of their shift and costing the company all the revenue from unserved customers, versus leaving all the raw hamburgers out to rot in the middle of the kitchen, for example.
Regardless, in any sane world, if you had a group of employees who did this same thing absent it being a strike, the company would have to pursue remediation against each one individually. Suing the union is just the company trying to reach into deeper pockets. | [

You can't tell a worker "you can't go on strike until you have completed X task." If employers could do they they would make the required task list impossible to achieve so nobody could ever go on strike.
You can put reasonable things like 'turn off the stove,' but not unreasonable things like 'spend an hour cleaning the frier.'
The question in this specific case is 'is it reasonable to expect the drivers to empty their trucks before they leave?' I'm not a cement truck driver but I'm pretty sure emptying a cement truck takes a lot more work than turning a stove off. And they couldn't exactly just dump the cement anywhere, that'd cause more trouble than leaving it in the truck. Their options would be to what, work the whole day? | [

Wait are you telling me that management didn't know how to operate the machinery and took no action to address the trucks?
Seems to me Management didn't have business continuity planning in place. Heck the workers should be paid more for the job they do since they have unique knowledge and basically run the business for management who can't do much of anything.
If management can't handle the trucks then maybe they have no idea what the job entails. | [

You can fire them for the carelessness - but you can't sue them for damages and win.\nAllowing that would open the door for employers to sue individual employees over basic spillage during the course of business.

There's a difference between your line cooks leaving in the middle of their shift and costing the company all the revenue from unserved customers, versus leaving all the raw hamburgers out to rot in the middle of the kitchen, for example.\nRegardless, in any sane world, if you had a group of employees who did this same thing absent it being a strike, the company would have to pursue remediation against each one individually. Suing the union is just the company trying to reach into deeper pockets.",

I'm not a cement truck driver but I'm pretty sure emptying a cement truck takes a lot more work than turning a stove off. And they couldn't exactly just dump the cement anywhere, that'd cause more trouble than leaving it in the truck. Their options would be to what, work the whole day?",
