The firm took £70m from small investors before it collapsed in 2015, Southwark Crown Court heard.

Pickard, who pleaded guilty to fraudulent trading, was jailed for six years. Greenaway and Laver, who also admitted the charge, received sentences of five years and three months and four and a half years respectively.

That sentence doesn't seem appropriate. Do they lose everything? They should have to make up for their harms, not just sit in a cell and come out to a cushy life.

This is often also the fault of the rich assholes who control the money and don't do any work.

My job gives me the day off but doesn't pay me. So that stinks

Describing murder and decade long imprisonment as "nice" is underselling it.

Also, "accepted" is stretching it. Union busting, suppression, and capture, are all common.

What? No, I meant like when people said they didn't want to work 12 hours a day 6 days a week anymore, and then the capitalists had the police shoot them.

It's like the old "every conservative accusation is a confession" thing.

When they say "the communists want to make you work in a factory for 12 hours a day with no pay", that's what they want to do.

I think we agree, then? What I was saying is you have to talk to people like your family. You have to have bonds with people, whether that's from being a family or just spending time together.

This will be fruitless if they don't trust you. That's another way of saying you're in-group.

In-group pressure and trauma are the only things that change minds. Traumatizing people is often rude, and maybe a crime, so it's safer to try to get people to see you as trusted in-group and then work on changing their minds.

She's making different expressions, which is a big confounding factor.

Make it progressive. First $x is untaxed, $x+y is taxed at some percent, the next $x+z is taxed higher, and so on.

Also build more housing in general.

Capitalism is enforced at gunpoint. Can we condemn that, too?
