Is stater bros still less corporate-y than Kroger?

forks ,

It’s only in southern California I think, so probably. I just left one to start school, and it wasn’t that bad. They were just starting to get much more serious about a greeting program, and they send secret shoppers to evaluate the workers a couple times a month, but that’s about it. It’s unionized, too, which is nice.

This is yet another reason we need President Harris.

Trump will let Google get away with it.

merc ,

What we really need is President Biden. This is all happening thanks to him. There’s some hope that Harris would continue his policies if elected, but there are strong rumours that some donors are supporting her with the agreement that if she wins she gets rid of Lina Khan.

No on both counts. Don’t give him credit for other people’s work.

He might have been the final one to sign off on them, but cabinet appointments are decided by committee and I guarantee you that the former Senator of the most corporation-friendly state of them all wasn’t the one who suggested Lina Khan OR Lauren McFerran at the NLRB.

his policies

Again, it’s not HIS policies. Stop giving the old man with 900 years of conservative policies the credit for the stellar work of young women many times as progressive and in touch with the realities of regular people as him.

merc ,

It’s not like she’s doing these things behind his back.

The progressive wing of the party might have pushed him into accepting her appointment, but he still appointed her and she’s kicking ass.

Nope, but she IS doing it without his help, so he’s not due any of the credit.

The progressive wing of the party might have pushed him into accepting her appointment, but he still appointed her and she’s kicking ass.

Yes, SHE is kicking ass based on HER work and HER policy and enforcement choices, not his.

Absent pressure from the progressive wing og the party, he would have chosen someone older and more palatable to his owner donors.

He does NOT deserve credit for her work just because he relented to the pressure from people more pro worker than himself.

merc ,

Nope, but he IS doing it without his help, so he’s not due any of the credit.

He’s her boss and he appointed her, he does deserve credit for selecting her and sticking with her.

Yes, SHE is kicking ass based on HER work and HER policy and enforcement choices, not his.

And he’s her boss, so he deserves credit for hiring her and backing her.

Viking_Hippie ,

He’s her boss and he appointed her, he does deserve credit for selecting her and sticking with her.

Other people selected her in spite of him and he relented and he’s refrained from firing someone without cause.

Neither of those are achievements and just because he’s the boss doesn’t mean that he gets to take credit for HER work.

And he’s her boss, so he deserves credit for hiring her

Nope, see above.

and backing her.

Do you have any source on him actively backing her, beyond just not firing her without cause?

Zoboomafoo ,

any source on him actively backing her

Yes, she’s his subordinate

Viking_Hippie ,

That’s not actively backing her. You have a very distorted view of the relationship between a boss and an employee.

Hiring her for a job she’s qualified for on the advice of others and then not firing her is a passive lack of opposition at best, NOT active support.

FundMECFSResearch ,

You can make up all the arguments you want.

Biden was a moderate democrat in congress.

As president, he’s been far more progressive than Obama. Probably the most progressive on workers rights since FDR.

Cabinet choices matter, and he chose them.

    Xanis , in Child rapist Steven van de Velde weeps in first interview since Olympics outrage

    Preface: I am not defending any action done, or the people that act on impulse or through desire.

    If someone were to come to you and admit that they’re ashamed they like children in a sexually gratifying way, and stated that they never intend to act on those thoughts. How would you react?

    I’m expecting kneejerk reactions. Surprise me, Lemmy.

    answersplease77 ,

    he did not only find minors attractive; he tortured and raped a minor for days nonstop, and got out after 1 year only. I’d hate to be that young kid watching her rapist get paid and cheered representing her country.

    Xanis ,

    I’m not asking nor defending that in any way. I am challenging the typical way people look at individuals who are attracted to minors. There are people out there who are ashamed and scared. They know it’s wrong. They don’t act, yet the impulse is there, and with it the anxiety. There is a stigma even against them, those who can find help in treatment, but are labeled right alongside those who commit atrocities and act on that desire.

    It’s anger. Rightfully so. Often displaced.

    Paraphilia is considered a disorder for a reason. It can be treated, and it is important to make the distinction.

    I will die on this hill.

    Viccarabyss ,
    @Viccarabyss@lemmy.world avatar

    You see the problem is you are posting this altogether by itself rational argument in an irrational place; under a post in regards to a convicted and known rapist, therein implying that you wish to excuse that rapists actions.

    While it is correct that intrusive thoughts are simply human nature, acting on them is not. Harming children in any way is not acceptable and should not be excused. That distinction was already made here, as it wasn’t about intrusive thoughts at all.

    Case in point, I believe that you are either very confused, very stupid, or rage baiting.

    Xanis ,

    I do this on purpose. Calm and rational people will attend calm and rational debates. I don’t actually expect to receive rational responses in a thread like this. My only goal is to plant the potential for a rational response when the normal reaction is anger.

    So if I had to choose one, I’ll go with very stupid. :) I’ve been called worse by those who claim I am in support of the act of pedophillia, when I am in support of treatment of those who have not taken action, and against the label and stigma produced by our society which stops these individuals from coming forward.

    As a culture we equate action and desire without action as the same thing in these circumstances. People then who might seek help do not for a very real fear of their life, potentially literally, ending.

    I’ll take very stupid in a semi-relevant thread if it helps even one person decide to seek treatment. Because that decision will stop harm for themselves, and importantly stop potential harm to a child in the future. Whether harm was maliciously intentioned or not.

    Dragomus ,

    I am not sure where you got the torture for days from, there was none of that mentioned in the case, nor what he was sentenced for.

    answersplease77 ,

    he raped her in a motel over several days.

    Deceptichum ,
    @Deceptichum@quokk.au avatar

    I’d tell them to get help from a professional.

    People can’t choose who they’re attracted to, but they are responsible if they ever act on it.

    If society wants to truly protect children, we need to ensure paedos don’t become abusers/rapists. That means creating an atmosphere where people can feel more comfortable going to get the help they need.

    Xanis ,

    Yes, precisely. Thank you. This is a charged topic and because it’s so culturally brittle, I feel we must be more willing to have these discussions. Even if there is never a good time nor place to do so.

    So you’re saying the statistically less likely option is the one you think is most likely to have been the case?

    Not only is this kind of view dangerous and prejudiced, it is quite simply not supported by the data.

    I hope people dont believe you the next time you claim that something deplorable happened to you.

    Then you will likely argue that people should start bybassuming you might be telling the truth and look at evidence and investigate the case before determining that you were telling the truth or lying.

    Your tendency to think a woman is lying for money when making claims of rape is the problem women face today. And have always faced, for that matter.

    We dont shoot first and ask questions later. If she is lying, then it will come out when scrutinised. If she isnt lying then its a damn good thing we didn’t just brush her away isnt it…

    We keep giving them money and they keep fucking us over! What are we to do?!

    TommySoda ,

    Unfortunately some people don’t have a choice. The only grocery stores near me are Kroger or Albertsons. I have to drive over an hour to get any other options.

    But at the same time, even though I only shop for two, it might end up being cheaper to drive an hour and a half to Costco if shit keeps going the way it is. When you have to pay over $100 on less than a week of groceries, gas prices seem quaint in comparison.

    And with the Kroger/Albertsons merger likely imminent considering they announced all the stores in my city they’re going to close or sell off, it’s likely to become the norm and even if it’s deemed illegal, the fines won’t be enough to matter until they can pay to make it legal. It’s not like they can be shut down if they’re the only grocery stores.
