  • You need a workforce who don’t have choices, not smart enough to know you’ve screwed them over, but smart enough to make you money, and constantly on the verge of ruin where they can’t risk what little you’ve allowed them to have. Your statement is but one block of suppression stacked on our shoulders.

    Let’s consolidate corporations, let’s ruin social safety nets, let’s shame intelligence and embrace ignorance, let’s change the public opinion with constant news bites yelled loud and often.

    Make people worried about egg prices and not the enshitification of our food supply as a whole. Gas prices instead of letting people ask why our whole infrastructure is based on cars. Drug prices are too high instead of why is Goldman Sacks asking: ‘Is curing patients a sustainable business model?’ https://share.google/Xui2ooSBQaH8SEwBZ

    You need people focused on the pen tip not what it’s writing.

    Rant over, sorry.






  • I haven’t heard of this. What’s this benefit called?

    Edit: I should take one minute before asking questions.

    Member-Owned Structure: Unlike a publicly traded company that pays dividends to stockholders, USAA is a reciprocal interinsurance exchange, meaning its members are also its owners. Profits, after expenses and reserve requirements are met, are returned to members.

    Subscriber Savings Account (SSA): A small percentage of the property and casualty insurance premiums paid by an eligible member is retained by USAA and allocated to an SSA in their name.

    Annual Distributions: The USAA Board of Directors decides each year how much capital is needed for reserves. Any excess is distributed back to members from their SSA. This distribution amount can vary annually based on factors like the company’s financial performance and the member’s longevity and account balance.

    Payout Options: Members typically have the option to: Apply the distribution to their insurance premiums. Receive the funds via direct deposit or check

  • Ok but keep in mind I’m speaking to the televised order of release.

    Firefly.

    They released the series out of order so the very first episode already had you deep into the story without establishing anything or anyone. Once you streamed it or watched it on dvd it made more sense. Plus the choose not to air some episodes at all which also introduced plot points and by not airing those you ruin consistency.

    And I’ll add, the series is fantastic and serenity was a very nice bow to the short lived series. Highly recommend if you haven’t seen it.
