Sorry. My underwear is beyond repair

Yeah. Lots of people didn’t vote because we had two evils. The greater evil won…

Thank you. This sent me on a rabbit hole of differences between LLC and Corporations. LLC being a pass through protects the owners a little bit but passes through all the tax and some of the liability (hence Limited Liability). I remember reading something about how banks got significantly more risky with investments and predatorily with their practices when they started moving from partnerships to corporate structures.

Maybe we should get rid of corporations and force all companies into a partnership or LLC structure. Less to hide behind.

I used to not vote because all politicians are evil. Someone pointed out that if everyone picks the lesser of two evils then things are going to get less evil. I’ve voted every opportunity since.

Corporations are just legal structure organizing people together to do something. The soup kitchen, local artisan, person cutting hair out of their house, they all set up an LLC to operate under. They didn’t instantly become evil.

But if I need to buy a blender, plywood, or underwear (my shopping list this weekend), I’m going to have to buy it from a corporation. If I could buy it from a less evil corp then hopefully I make things less evil.

Why was this downvoted? I just listed the companies on NAACP website so you didn’t have to open link.

Grocery stores have some good actors with employee owned and coops.

[–] Lumberjacked@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah. Was surprised NAACP had them on their list but I suppose they still have DEI verbiage. But shady company (he types on his iPhone…)

Yeah. That’s my local grocery store. It sounds like they treat their employees well and do a lot in the community. And tortillas.

I mean… is that union busting? I thought I read the union threatened to strike. Costco raised wages to advert a strike. Isn’t that just unions working as intended?

 

I get the boycotts for Target, Walmart, and Amazon for rolling back their DEI programs and bowing to Trump. What companies are treating employees fair or standing up for human decency? Seems like Costco gets brought up?

Most things I need I can get from my local grocery store which seems pretty non evil but where do you go if you need like a new keyboard?

I went hog hunting a few times back in my redneck days. There’s virtually no regulations and we had no idea what to do. Me and my friends went out with a full arsenal. I had a 9mm, SKS, and a 30-06.

I used every gun. It was crazy.

I make specialty vehicle electronics. My immediate thought was very small and cheap sensors. Similar to tire pressure monitoring but wired with CAN or something similar.

 

I have a personal website that is just a landing page made with Carrd. I’ve been interacting on the Fediverse (Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, BlueSky so far). I would like to consolidate my public Fediverse persona, write a little bit longer form blogging, and be able to have a central spot for my pictures and posts.

I’m looking at using write.as or micro.blog on a subdomain of my personal website. What are people’s experience with these two platforms and are there other good ones?

Has anyone found a good workflow for consolidating personas? I know you can use mastodon logins on Pixelfed. Is there a scenario where I just have one server login and tie everything to that?

Someday I’ll try self hosting but for now, I’ll pay for decent services.

 

It’s a subtle difference but I always heard it presented like it was a federal retirement account but is actually insurance for getting old.
