Yes, how is the political/economic situation in Italy currently?
Have they finally decided on who will lead them and dealt with their stagnant economy?
Yes, you have a point. However I am an amoralist. I tend to think beyond the human experience. I can imagine circumstances were chocolate ice cream could be more deadly than small shard of glass. Morals are circumstantial, being human is one of those circumstance. In that circumstance we can...
Seems obviously protectionism for the cattle industry.
I can understand I guess the desire to protect a part of the economy.
However seems to me like trying to protect the horse and buggy industry from the automobile.
I hear it all of the time.
How do you protect a person's right to labor?
I live in a "right to work state" but I suspect this means something different.
The problem is a person can make more than that by simply investing. They can take their 3.5 million euros elsewhere and have a lot less hassle than trying to keep a business afloat. You simply have 85 less job available. The entrepreneur will simply make their 500,000 euros some other way.
Depends on the business model.
Workers are part of the capitalist system too. People have to want to buy what they are selling(their labor, skills).
However 20%, sure. I think most entrepreneurs would jump at that. Generally 5% to 15% profit is acceptable.
Ideally, what everyone agrees to. However it is highly dependent on market forces.
The last company I worked for, a percentage of the profits was divided among the employees.
Some years there was no profit, in fact there was a loss. However, our wages were guaranteed so it came out of the...
Meat is not the only cost the businessman has to cover. They have to pay for facilities, utilities, delivery, packaging, advertisement, legal fees, health inspections, licenses, recruitment, etc... As well as tasking 100% of the risk if the business fails. If any one of these employees would be...
Netanyahu issued a video statement on Thursday saying Israelis "would fight with their fingernails" in an apparent rebuff of Biden.
Obviously not a deterrent for Netanyahu. So what should Biden's next step be considering that the US is still supplying billions in weapons to Israel...
I'd say procreation, survival until you can procreate, anything you can do to improve the chances of your offspring's survival.
Whatever you can do to support your species chances of survival has meaning as well, whether you yourself have offspring or not.
I decided to equate spiritualism with mental health. So spiritualism was whatever one did to improve their mental outlook. Mainly seeking happiness or self-worth.
Exercise and diet deal with physical health. Spirituality deal with mental health. Things like meditation, non-attachment and...
My idea of truth did not come from anywhere/anyone else. I least I have never heard it externally expressed.
However, yes, I do recognize how the "culture" I grew up in has influenced my values. So, if I had grown up in a different culture would I have developed a different understanding of...
Yes, morality then laws. we agreed there I think.
Ok, so why are some outcomes valued over others?
Ok, right the support of certain values.
However, if the rules were different, then anyone not following these other rules would be cheating. So the choice of what is right and wrong in this...
