Genuinely, invest in education and you can resolve a lot of this in one fell swoop. I firmly believe that a large part of the reason the US is in its current state is because of the systematic cuts to our education system which have been happening for damn near half a century (fucking Reagan). Invest in the youth, give them the critical thinking and media literacy skills needed to draw their own conclusions, and I think you’ll have made significant progress on the issue.

Easier said than done, though, I’ll admit, and it’s a plan that operates on a pretty goddamn long timeline - a much longer one than the current critical situation is likely to allow us.

Well put all around, and in response to your final point, I'm really not sure. I want to say this is the value of public education, but I don't recall a terribly strong effort to educate people in common sense and media literacy so as to not be manipulated so easily, and end up voting against our own best interests back when I was in the system. Still, I had access to better education than most young people do today.

I think that lackluster regulation of media really is failing us too, since any billionaire can just buy up a large organization and dictate what it will and will not report on, and how it aims to persuade people in out society. All of this requires rooting out apathy and corruption in our governing public servants, and strengthening regulation, and every day I see more of the exact opposite of that. It's hard to tell what the endpoint is that's going to force a turn-around, if such a thing even exists beyond a systemic collapse that strips the power to manipulate the systems of governance from the ultra-rich.

Generally that means terrible suffering for all, and I'd much rather see a better path, like, oh I don't know, massive taxation of enormous and excessive private wealth. Until I see politicians willing to take meaningful actions to resist and confront oligarchy, and a general public developing more self-awareness, I'll continue to believe that outcome seems like a pipe dream.

I started to boycott Ubisoft when I can't think of a single game of theirs I would even want to play.

A lot of the reasons unions form in the USA are mitigated by Canadian labour laws. So you generally only see them in large work forces such as government employees, school teachers, and trades. People already get severance pay based on length of employment for getting fired without cause. If you're laid off you can get EI (60% wages from gov't).

So to answer your question... nothing probably -though I am speculating. Unless they did something egregious they likely broke no laws.

When the butchers at a single Walmart successfully formed a tiny union, Walmart responded by firing every butcher in every store in the company and switching to pre-packaged meats only.

Ubisoft has been utter shir for more than a decade.

I used to love Prince of Persia, I tried to play Warrior Within half a year ago, that's how much I love it.

But it hasn't been the same, it's just generic shit all over the place.

It amazes me that anyone played any far cry or assassins creed game in the last 10 years and went "yes this is a good game". All they make is bare minimum surface level crap and it's been that way for a loooooong time.

For Honor was their last good game.

No they only play games while in the hospital

Nope, I only play games that are heavily discounted or given away

It's double funny because it's pretty much the opposite of what it was meant.

I live in Germany. Here its not mandated to have a workers representative council, but you are entitled to be allowed to make one. A workers representative council is distinct from a union, though.

As a Canadian living north of the nut-hatch, I wish I had the money to excercise my dual citizenship and get out of here to Portugal, or anywhere else in the EU.

Look at Belgium for a good example of how they are mandated.

So how do they do it?
