I’m an IT guy right with you but I’m also a linguist:

Oh yeah I know how predatory of a businessman he was, I just assumed he did it politely.

I’d strongly disagree there too. Y’know basically the entire internet runs on Linux right? Our global communication system containing the sum of all human knowledge is like 99% Linux servers. And the reason a whole bunch of companies sponsor the hell out of Linux now is because it’s just that good and just that important on a global scale.

That seems worse because it means they went out of the way to get so rich, rather than just having it handed to them.

Idk man we just saw a week ago how atrociously Linus used to treat people. Imagine combining that with enough greed to hold onto a billion dollars. Imagine what any of these people would be like if they were the type to ruthlessly exploit others to get rich. I think a billionaire Linus would be worse than Bill Gates. At least Gates is a nice guy.

It is the act of holding onto that much wealth that is immoral, not who is doing it. This is just fantasizing from a painfully neoliberal perspective: OP is imagining the world would be better if the good guys hoarded inconceivable amounts of wealth and exploited the labor of others.

Overwhelming plastic garbage

Categorically false.

Many people with down syndrome live fulfilling, independent lives, and even have children with other people who have down syndrome

The amount that pops into my head is big enough that I’d say I don’t need it.

It may complicate your life though. You’d have no explanation of who you are or why you’re there.

Both pronunciations are identical. Unless you showed someone both at the same time and told them to take a very close look at them, Nobody would even notice there’s a difference and everyone would pronounce them as expected.

I haven’t a lot useful to say among the comments that are already here but I will say most broadly:

Democracy in the work place. Corporations and industries are too big and affect too many people to be governed by individuals that are just there to own it, and make a profit for themselves. Things need to be run for the common good by actually representing all stakeholders fairly.

Sorry but do you actually have such little control over your mouth and face muscles that you can’t avoid gagging on toothpaste?

You won’t hear from the ones that don’t.

Well, that is a pretty ridiculous interpretation.

Workplace democracy would most likely and most broadly refer to all employees of a company having a say in how the company is run. Either by voting on policies and changes, or by electing people to various executive/representative roles, much the same way that current Western democracies work.

An example of the janitor voting on where the surgeon makes a cut makes about as much sense as us voting on where the president flies in his helicopter. At best, it doesn’t pass the make sense test, and at worst is a bad faith interpretation of what people mean when they say “workplace democracy”

A lot of those tests have already been done and were used almost exclusively to enforce segregation.

What will benefit the children born in 200 years?
