minus-square BarqsHasBite ( @someguy3@lemmy.ca ) linkfedilinkEnglish48•edit-21 year agoHuh that’s very reasonable actually. Generous even. Now let’s see what they can pay workers.
minus-square Rozaŭtuno ( @Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) linkfedilink15•edit-21 year agoAs little as they can get away with. And then they’ll brag about record profits.
minus-square NightAuthor ( @NightAuthor@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglish9•1 year agoYeah, I was thinking… only of their profits? So they can afford to still make a shitload of money and not put out all that pollution?
