The most depressing thing about this entire ordeal is that the woman stole lots of money, got busted because that money belonged to rich people, and is now after having been convicted and literally been to prison as far as i know, able to cash in on that further. Lets make a movie about that wonderful successful scammer.

There is one defining aspect to the Swiss, and that is amoral greed. No involvements or entanglements with anyone or anything if it can at all be avoided, no responsibility to say no to any corrupt source of money. The corrupt, morally bankrupt but otherwise very solvent tax oasis for Europe, always ready and willing to take in anyone and anything with money. Nazi politicians looking to avoid the consequences of their policies, russian oligarch money, saudis, you name it. All are welcome as long as nobody does anything that would force the Swiss to take a stand.

Lemmy shitposts, and lemmy users responding in dead seriousness in the comments, name a more iconic duo.

If they didnt have enough desperate laborers they would make it so. Too well paid to say no to slave jobs? A few million in lobbying will see you get replaced by a crappy machine, promoted to do 3 jobs for the pay of 1, lose your benefits, or some other shit.

Sums up about every single printed shirt i have ever seen.

Take 2-3k for some immediate material niceties i cant afford otherwise, the rest goes to my mom who has probably some leftover obligations from when she bought a little apartment.

First wish: kill my wife

Have 2 wishes left

Ahh that makes more sense then!

You got like 50% fairly popular opinions in there, and then some hopefully deeply unpopular ones, lol.

Super unpopular around these parts, i’m sure

Piefed had its own recent controversy lately. Leave yours? 🙃

Why do you keep repeating this throughout these comments chief?

Being self important is not a political act and so far there is no indication of a political motivation, just that the dev somehow got the idea of appointing themselves secret online discourse admin. If it turns out there is some financial goal behind it i’m with you tho.

Do you sometimes look in the mirror and question the life choices that made you a person who talks about worshipping feces on the internet?

How so? Shareholders are the worst cancer on the economy, but at the same time hard to eliminate without a revolution.

The proper order should be that people invest in a company they believe will do well, not because they seek to exert control over it. If you do not believe the company is operating in a profitable manner you should not buy, or sell your, shares.

You state this is wrong. Why? In my opinion, if we must have institutionalized gambling, we should seek to keep it from exerting undue influence, even in the shareholders own long term interest. Of course this would not allow the leadership to just do whatever with the money, reporting and oversight should if anything be improved upon.

You give that money to the Corp to get profits in return. Not a say in how the company is run, at least youre not supposed to for healthy business operations. One of, if not the biggest reason that for example steam continues to win is just they are being not overtly greedy and shortsighted. That is obviously a much healthier business model.

… If i had a company and it were successful, and i decided to go public, i would only issue that kind of voteless share or whatever they are called, so that i would be protected from shareholder pressure to some extent. Was that not clear somehow? Or did you just want to go for the snark

Is it? That is, if i were to own a public company, the only way i would ever allow anyone else to own a part of it. It is my company, i don’t want fucking shareholders pressure me for more profits and shortsighted decisions. If the vultures want a share of the profits they get just that, not a voice at the table.
