Oof, I don’t feel so good for the UAW peoples that are striking. Need more to strike and need more companies being striked. Fuck these companies that siphon money and let their workers live and die in poverty
Well, more than half of Stellantis factories are in Europe and have at least an half decent collective working agreement in place. I don’t even want to imagine how bad the contracts for the factories they have in Asia and Africa are though.
Kinda makes sense that they fit under the same umbrella. It’s a large section of what I’d call mediocre car makers. Not the absolute worst, but far from the best.
Indeed, I feel like Hyundai / Kia cars either shit the bed really early, or last a really long time like a Toyota. No in-between.
Case in point, my 2020 Elantra blew its engine at 7,000km. Got it replaced under warranty, doing frequent maintenance on it, going strong at 70,000 km with zero issues. It just now needed brakes!
Fair point. Most really cheap crap is long gone these days. But I’d rather sit in one of those three than a Land Rover, Ssangyong or Nissan (which has been plagued with horrible reliability issues as of late).
That’s because he’s just the shit rod for the Agnelli family who own the largest slice of Stellantis in a holding company based in the Netherlands called Exor
Normally, when I see something like “C/C++” it means that there’s a significant overlap between the two languages, so knowledge of one implies or coincides with knowledge of the other. But C# and C++ are very different languages, and while you could argue that there’s some sense in which they’re related, it isn’t much of one. If you’re going to list “C#/C++” then you could just as well put “Java/C#”, or “C++/Rust”.
As an MBA, I will simply state that you all do not understand capitalism. A CEO is kind of like a sports star. They make what they make because they are making all the hard shots and keeping the team afloat. They are like the captain and coach of the team in one. It takes many years to curate the skills required to be a good CEO and there are only so many people good enough in each industry to take on the challenge. 21M is modest compared to Ford’s profits. If they provided less, he would simply move to a competitor in the same way that sports stars shop around. The idea that everyone in the company should have their salaries compared in terms of orders of magnitude of the CEO is insane. It’s like attempting to say that the janitor at a doctor’s office should have to make tens of thousands above the going rate of what a janitor’s output is worth on the open market simply because the star of the business is able to bring in a lot of money. In general, the idea that the CEO doesn’t work as hard as the line workers is incorrect. They CEO meets all day with direct reports and investors and steers the ship.
“Market movers make money” by shipping jobs over seas and busting unions. That’s the part of the CEO’s job description. They work hard at it alright, but a guillotine works harder.
There should be sanctions on greed. It should be illegal. The amount of death and destruction it causes is insane and yet the greedy just reward themselves for it.
You are absolutely delusional, and frankly, unless you are a million/billionaire, then you have been brainwashed into thinking you are important. (Not that billionaires are important. Just that thry have fooled you into thinking you matter more than anyone else.
You can carry on believing that you dont need every cog in a machine to make it work, but it won’t make you right.
What i find so funny is that you dont se to realise that if every ceo got thanos snapped out of existance, most of the machines would continue to run for quite some time and would likely self repair that one tiny ceo shaped hole. Bit if the same happened to the underpaid workforce, the machine grinds to a halt instantly.
Im reminded of a joke where an FBI agent visits a farm and needs access to a certain field. He goes to the farmers’ house, says he needs access, and the farmwr says no. The agent shows his badge and statea he is a federal agent and that this badge means he can go where he wants, when he wants.
The farmer laughs and says ok.
Later, the farmer heres shouting and screaming outside and sees the agent running from an enormous bull in that very field. He hurridly opens the door and shouts QUICK QUICK SHOW HIM YOUR BADGE!!!
Well i hope your importance is enough to save ypu when the workforce have had enough.
I’m not saying that you need every employee to make a company run. There is a lot of waste. I’m just trying to help you understand how CEO’s work. The don’t necessarily keep their job either. The board can remove then if they aren’t making the company money. Sure, I’d like to get paid more than my quarter million or so. It really isn’t enough, but I’m working my ass off to get to the top of my ladder. It’s not necessarily the CEO at my current company, but it could be close to it somewhere else. You just don’t want to play the game. If you want a good listen, my favorite albums of all times are The Kinks - Preservation: Act 1&2. It’s a great social commentary on workers rights and getting manipulated for profit. The answer is somewhere in the middle where commerce is regulated appropriately, but not by throwing the baby out with the bath water and eating the rich. If you go too far social left, you end up in the territory of a restrictive regime. It’s confusing how that works. There are plenty of terrible governments in history that swung the socialist banner.
A Master of Business Administration (MBA; also Master in Business Administration) is a postgraduate degree focused on business administration. The core courses in an MBA program cover various areas of business administration such as accounting, applied statistics, human resources, business communication, business ethics, business law, strategic management, business strategy, finance, managerial economics, management, entrepreneurship, marketing, supply-chain management, and operations management in a manner most relevant to management analysis and strategy. It originated in the United States in the early 20th century when the country industrialized and companies sought scientific management.
You seek to write-off in one stroke what has been built-upon over many centuries and siphoned into scientific disciplines. You suffer from Dunning-Kruger.
People only offer derision towards people who fall for this (which is absolutely reasonable), but only a few see it as the fucking tragedy it is, no one gives a fucking shit about young men and their issues or gives them support, who are then taken wholesale by THESE bastards and turned into incels and/or nazis, had young men had any support from decent people we might have less people on the side of the bastards
I’ve stopped believing that. I think there’s plenty of support for them online; people like Mark Manson have been putting out great stuff for years. (His writings helped me through a lot of stuff.)
I think the main problem is that improving yourself requires admitting that you were wrong about some things, and apparently that’s really hard to do for some people. Easier to blame it on the rest of society.
Usually if something is as easy for another person as it is for you, then they’ve been as successful in it as you have. That’s all I have to say about your readiness to judge others with that implication that you are better.
Ah, actually visited that link of yours, clicked through one article and it does look good. The only catch is that I’m confident most people with such problems haven’t ever heard about this guy and his website.
Fair enough. I didn’t mean to say it was easy. Took me about eight years to realise I needed to work on myself, and then a few more to actually do so . Back then pick-up artists were still a major thing, so I learned and then had to unlearn all that bullshit.
However, things won’t get better if we’re treating young men as poor, helpless victims of society and the YouTube algorithm, instead of treating them like, you know, men, and telling them to take responsibility for their lives and online habits. It’s just the same victim complex with a new narrative.
One of my favourite movies/books is Fight Club, because it takes this societal dissatisfaction and tells you to get over it by working on yourself. You’re not a victim, because you still have the power to change yourself. (Of course, the whole descent into violent madness isn’t something to aspire.) I feel that notion is sorely absent in this discussion.

Oh. Thank dear god I never tried.
However, things won’t get better if we’re treating young men as poor, helpless victims of society
They are usually victims of their own parents, who may have too differing behavior from what is common average (say, example 1) both asexual and thus treating nonverbal communication as something not very hard or important, and thinking that you’ll just learn it, or, example 2) too sexual, like, sorry, one of the parents being an ex-escort and thus their child incorrectly measuring the signals sent, or, example 3) both parents having grown with their mother only or with little attention from their father, thus again not learning the skills of communication for men, one can imagine other examples).
instead of treating them like, you know, men, and telling them to take responsibility for their lives and online habits
Responsibility is fine for most, not knowing what to do is a different matter.
You’re not a victim, because you still have the power to change yourself.
That’s a philosophical question. You may have noticed that what you eat and how you exercise physically and what news you hear and what people tell you all affect very much what you think and how. So whether you can consciously change yourself to some intended end is, again, a question.
There are PLENTY of people who cares about young men. Many of them are just in REAL LIFE not on the internet.
Teachers and social workers at schools, classmates (yes, you can make friends with real people too.), FAMILY. Even if all that fails, many, many NGOs need more hands and would welcome any young men willing to volunteer. They just need to go there IN REAL LIFE.
Some areas or fields have a difficult time reaching men, including young men, and it’s not because they are not wanted. Let’s take psychiatry, for example. Many people already believe psychiatry is nonsense; add to this the common idea that psychiatric treatment is for cowards—and that cowardice is mostly for women (because women can be many bad things, but men can’t)—, and that’s a recipe for men scoffing at the idea of visiting a psychiatrist (and a psychotherapist, by extension).
I’ve also heard people complaining about a lack of role models, but there are excellent role models. I hope I am not wrong about them, but I admire Stephen Fry, John Oliver, Keanu Reeves, Bill Nye… I also like many small influencers. Some of them talk about being a man with great insight, such as @watchfulcoyote on TikTok.
I cannot say with certainty how free these radicalized young men were to choose a better path than the one they are on, and it probably varies from case to case, but I know there were and are normal and decent people watching out for them.
