      @BeachlessIsland Год назад +1

      I think what is wrong is that you put the worker in an uncomfortable situation. There is an uneven relationship between the worker and the employer and you don’t know if you are going to get fired or something bad is going to happen if you complain to your boss. Much better if you have a third party who can speak on your behalf and make sure all the employees get treated right.

      The point he missed in his statement was that most managers don’t seem to care about whether it’s a better place to work. Most manager’s invoke change because it improves the bottom line and therefore their profits.
      My workplace doesn’t care about it being a better place to work for the staff, it’s about how they can get people to take more responsibility for the same pay by restructuring small things over time to be more financially efficient.

    The very first thing he said about HR is that they have a 3rd party HR firm that they use. If it's something that can't be brought up to Linus or Yvonne (his business partner, 51/49 split), then they have that 3rd party firm. It's a really crucial thing to have missed. I can't speak for everyone, but the positions I am aware of, are all full time, employee positions. None of this "independent contractor" bullshit. They all have full health benefits, and severance pay is mandatory in Canada. Linus is correct, in that it can be quite difficult to fire people, regardless of a union.
    His take from a US perspective would be stupid as fuck, BUT from a Canadian, it's fine.
    Also, his employees are buying houses in Vancouver. So, take that for what it's worth.

    I think it’s a fair thing to point out the level of exploration that goes on with workers and consumers from the business owners. If everyone agreed on it then of course it’d be the same as saying you’re against poverty.
    However a portion of liberals and practically all conservatives/libertarians outright deny it or say it’s their right and then blame the consumer for paying.

    • @attackmaster519

      Because it's a useless take that means nothing. You need to point out specific instances, and then justify why they're exploitation for it to mean anything. It's like saying rape or murder is bad. Of course it is, but you can't do anything with that take.

    This video is pretty cringe. Maybe I'm missing some context, but the cited tweets from Linus aren't that "socialist" or even that incorrect. You can talk to any economics 101 professor and they'll tell you that the benefit of inflation in a macro-economy is that it drives consumption since your dollar is worth more today than it will be tomorrow. That creates incentive to loan capital (rather than sitting on it while it depreciates) which benefits borrowers who get better pricing in interest. Too much inflation creates a horde of different problems, but that's a different story and too much is different than *some*. Linus isn't even really incorrect, your savings account is effectively being eroded in buying power in order to benefit borrowers.
