Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

No one is entitled to profit. It seems that you simply cannot afford to hire employees, and therefore you do not have a profitable business. It’s basic economics.

Owning a business is not a right. If your business model can’t function because of labor costs then you’re a fucking idiot who should go out of business.

:bugs-stalin: wishing every small business owner a very happy bankruptcy.

this is hilariously why right-wingers will occasionally accuse us of being in league with large corporations, because we admit the reality of the competitive nature of capitalism

yeah, your small business is going to fail when it can't compete with rising labor prices. No shit. Oh wait is the state supposed to intercede on the behalf of tiny businesses to keep it fair, no the state is already owned by the largest corporations

guess you gotta get a job like the rest of us, mr small business tyrant

In a way I've really shifted toward a corporations > small business stance. It's not that either stance makes sense from a socialist point of view, but corporations are quite a bit easier to regulate and nationalize, "after the revolution" or whatever

in a particular sense, large corporations do centralize production for us. Imagine if the early USSR had something like Wal-Mart's infrastructure

Hmm it’s almost like there’s a natural consolidation of capital as larger firms become more efficient via monopolization, while smaller businesses are squeezed out.

What? But I was told wage work is just a transitory stage in life toward my independence as a property owner. What do you mean thats utopian?!
