Threats of unionizing works.

Seems like a win/win/win. No union = no union dues plus they got a pay increase anyway and Apple may not have to deal with a union.

As someone who currently works at an apple store, I can confirm that it’s pretty much a sh!t show each shift I work, and I’ve been with apple over 10 years. And it’s not just coming from Apple. Customers are aggressive and rude. So to get it from both sides, it’s demoralizing. 

This isn’t a flippant comment so please don’t take it the wrong way. If you feel like this, why don’t you leave? You vote with your feet and walk out the door. If you’re outside of NY or CA demand for just about every type of job, especially retail, is huge right now.

Sounds good. But, isn’t there a slippery slope here the the Internet Archive is being subverted. If for this? What other awkward content might disappear?

I’m sure Biden has a good answer to this.

Excellent. Tech companies have way too much power and abuse their monopolies for the detriment of the consumer

Nothing meaningful will get through a democratic Congress controlled by Tech Companies.   Zuck is probably lining up his Forward.US  allies to block this.

I had the same thought. Seems odd. At least one of those bills hurts smaller companies (at least their shareholders/owners) by preventing them from being acquired by larger rivals.

Not enough info. What are your salaries? 

Spot on. I think his tweets just exhibit his ignorance of how financial products work. My wife wouldn’t expect to be approved for the same credit amount as me, despite a similar situation—joint tax filing, married for 10+ years, owned several houses together, etc.
