Sure you can argue that your financial situation is a bit better, but the power dynamics between yourself and owners is still the same regardless if you make a lot or a little and more importantly, salaries change. When your job isn't considered competitive anymore you'll be in the same boat or if you get laid off or you get sick, etc.

I mean the difference between them and they employees is that they can sell their restaurant when they want to quit at a good profit while their employees have to leave with only the clothes on their back.

That's quite radical. But I agree, speculation is a big problem and dysfunctional.

I think the CCP are just trying to do what they think is best for the welfare of their people.

The Swedish union IF Metal is currently striking on Tesla, and the conflict has resulted in many other unions entering their own strikes targeting Tesla in solidarity. One of them, SEKO which handles deliveries have prevented Tesla from acquiring license plates and they have sued the Swedish government for this because Tesla cannot get their license plates now.

For the other strikers they've used all manner of underhanded tactics to dodge the strike. Scabs, alternative suppliers for foreign countries, etc.

They're fighting tooth and nail against unions. It's disgraceful.

Nationalize your enterprise? Or better yet, convert it to a cooperative and give the profits directly to the employees?

That's why they hate things like welfare or full employment. They need a desperate army of reserve labor to keep wages low.

Out of all these studios I suppose I like Microsoft's games the most, but I still think it's bad that the regulators didn't shoot down this merger from the view of competitiveness.

I don't think the gaming market is healthy when only a handful of corporations like Microsoft, Ubisoft, EA Games and SquareEnix hold what I assume to be 75% of the gaming AAA market. It restricts creativity and stifles competition and the ones paying the price are going to be us consumers.

Even worse if they go and start vendor locking games to Windows, which sucks for us Linux gamers or Xbox which sucks for Playstation gamers.

Yes you could argue that making rich people equal could be a form of violence, but you could just the same argue that rich people are committing violence against regular people daily.

The basis of our society is set up to prevent us from using natural resources and using the land of the earth under the threat of violence.

Oh really? Because I did a presentation of inflation in grade 8. I didn't have the same understanding of it back then as I did later when I decided to study macroeconomics through college literature so I kind of regret what I said during that presentation. You sound like you've been especially unfortunate and lagged behind on your studies and I thought my teachers were holding me back, but in your case I assume you might not have had any real interest in learning anyway. That's at least what you show evidence of during these conversations.
