I feel like there’s some amount of this in every hobby, which sounds like I’m downplaying this take and racing but that’s not that case I promise you.
I can imagine how this would be amplified big time in a pretty expensive hobby/semi-pro/pro? I assume there must exist some amount of pros
But yeah as a collector of a couple to many more likely expensive hobbies, it’s crazy how much shit you see designed to just separate people from their money efficiently
Ahahah totally man. I dealt with a lot of this compliance, regulatory, quasi legal, bullshit too.
At one point to become an inspector of those huge oil storage tanks I had to basically study the specific building codes for those tanks back to front and upside down.
Cost hundreds to get the standards legally, thousands to take the tests, become registered, work with a qualified inspector etc.
That was 1 single standard, there are thousands. Tens of thousands when we’re talking industry generally, probably hundreds.
Then when you add international standards, everything is duplicated now per country. We make trade agreements and such to somewhat ease the shock of moving products and services across that Gulf of understanding.
Standards are trending in a good direction, we’re slowly moving towards more and more harmonized and universal standards but, we will never reach it, because we’re human, well always just be adapting to what comes next
Who could have possibly foreseen this…
You shouldn’t… As you said, how are they going to make you?
That’s kind of exactly my point? If China came to you and said you owe us fines, why would you voluntarily do so?
Why would a local Lemmy instance ever pay a fine to China?
If they operate in China then it seems legit. If they don’t operate in China it’s a non issue.
This might be stupid, but the corollary of your statement is that a sovereign nation can’t impose laws on foreign business…
That what you want?
Yeah sure, everybody CAN just quit.
“It’s not legal to retaliate”? Motherfucker when has this administration cared about what’s legal, they’re talking about making people work and then not giving them back pay.
Even before the trump administration’s it’s not as if the labour market was fair lol.
Why are you going to bat for people trying to enslave workers exactly?
Quora is just a cesspit of nonsense, what are you even doing there?
Basically every question and answer is self congratulatory autofellatio
It’s wage theft except the part where they’re forcing them to work.
Should be minute 1. Unpaid work is slavery
Certainly starts to make the 2nd amendment make sense
Seems like a them problem
Yeah I know my comment was 3 whole paragraphs and you can’t read gud, but I actually managed to address that
Yes, but also why does the government need to be involved?
I understand wanting clarity in good naming and standards, but I’ll never confuse a tofu burger or reconstituted mycelium protein nuggets with actual meat.
There is no real risk to the consumer in having language like tofu burger and veggie steak
What the hell is wrong with your dick?
My old FDM printer frame and I think most are made of extruded aluminium exactly like this. Extremely sturdy and can be adjusted very finely with machine screws
Turns out people don’t want kids when they’re stuck in their moms basement with no future
