Not The Onion

Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Slaves are more expensive since you have to treat them as capital.

Nah, you generally can depreciate capitalized assets /s

Only if they're regulated. Or if salaried workers have any rights, since you could otherwise just conspire with other companies to push salaries down, ensuring ~~"free" slaves~~ collaborating individual entrepreneurs are cheaper
