Chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•I'm reading "10 days that shook the world" and this short quote is very interesting in my opinionEnglish
14·2 months agoYes, the first thing I did when he said a title for another book he was writing was looking it up online, to add it to my list of books I want to read, and I immediately founding out he could never actually write it because he died so early.
So sad, he writes so well I really wanted to have more from him about Russia in the time he was there.

13·2 months agoI mean, most of the people in the front lines nowadays have been forcibly conscripted, so for every banderites that get killed, I’m sure there are many people who did not want to fight.
Also I’m not talking against the annexation of Easter Ukraine into the RF, clearly the stats show that in those places, there are mostly Russian people, and some of those places were only given given to the Ukrainian Republic under the USSR for administrative reasons. Also it’s not realistic to expect Russia to give away the territory that it has now been holding for so long.My post was about how, for the average Ukrainian, there is no reason to fight the war, just like it seems that there was no reason to fight in WWI for the average Russian.
Not fighting is actually the better option for the average person, but all the liberals want more war, more death, more destruction and somehow think that that will lead to better outcomes.

Chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•My bakery is probably unionizingEnglish
9·1 year agoThe boss wants to sit down with us troublemakers, and we figure we might as well. It’s not going to sway us from our goal, if anything, it will be another chance to slap the boss around again.
Actually I have to say that when I tried to unionize my office togheter with some collegues (we were in the very early stages of trying to figure what we needed to do), the manager requested a meeting with all of us “troublemakers” (only the ones they knew where getting involved in lamenting the low wages) and I have to say that (after a group meeting and some individual meetings) they succeeded in stopping, at least for the time, the “energy” of the movement. Some people just didn’t feel anymore like “risking” it.
So, I guess my suggestion is to be careful about who goes in what meeting, especially in the very early stages, because some people might chicken out, and then other people might see those people and feel like unionizing is going too far.
Because of this, we had to stop at getting a small wage increase for our team alone, and now, only after a year, is some of that energy, to do something about the wage and the workplace, coming back.

news@hexbear.net•The U.S. saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness this year, with more than 770,000 people counted as homeless.English
64·2 years agoQuoting the article:
“No American should face homelessness, and the Biden-Harris Administration is committed to ensuring every family has access to the affordable, safe, and quality housing they deserve,” HUD Agency Head Adrianne Todman said in a statement, adding that the focus should remain on “evidence-based efforts to prevent and end homelessness.”
Have they forgotten that the Biden-Harris Administration was (and still is), the one in charge ?
How does such an increase in homelessness show the commitment they said they have on fixing this issue ? It obviusly shows the opposite, that they don’t care about it.Is this really where journalism is at !?

Chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•What are they trying to say here ?! How can this even be seen as negative ?English
55·2 years agoYes, i think there is a panel where it tells you that some worker for a 3 room apartment pays 10% of their salary. Then they show you a standard 3 room apartment and while going through it I was so surprised because I would never be able to afford anything even close to it.
But all the museum is about how people where oppressed and poor !?

news@hexbear.net•While the U.S. can’t stop dropping bombs, China just dropped $500 billion on the housing sectorEnglish
8·2 years agoWhile some parts of this could be seen as a bailout to some of the companies, it is also true that they are building houses for people that already bought them. According to the article they will also cut interest rates on mortgages, which is good for people with a difficult financial situation and “On Saturday, finance ministry officials also announced measures to prop up the property sector, allowing local governments to use funds from special bonds to buy unsold homes and idle land.” This seems to also be a good development as the government itself takes back control of some of its land. Instead of a bailout where the government buys debt, they are buying houses and land (that, according to the article, has gone down in price) which is obviously much better.
