Shout out to your female co-host who mentioned 'Behind the bastards', it's a very informative podcast. I've been a Chapostani since the very early days but this was my first time hearing Amber being interviewed and it was great to hear her expound like this without the constraints of the Chaposphere. Also my first time seeing a picture of Amber and I'm a little annoyed by how much hotter she is than Felix.
The thing with startups is that the perks make you feel like you’re “part of it”. They make you forget that what’s going to happen is that the owners will sell the company, make a bunch of money, and you maybe will get to keep your job for a year after the sale.
@@Sneezes_LoL maybe, but not nearly how you might think. I had friends who worked in a startup, and when they sold all the founders stock was cashed out, but the other workers had no choice but to have their stock converted to the new company stock. Within a few years of bleeding the company dry the new stock (which was restricted in convertability) was worthless and all non-founders were left empty handed. Happens all the time
grrrr I had that shit on preorder from like the moment I heard about it and I was so mad that it got pushed back to 2022. That being said, I love the Dry Boys but they need a little feminine energy in there
To clarify:Unemployment is only avaipable if you're fired without cause and meet criteria in terms of working for a single employer for a length of time and full-time hours. If they fire you for being late, you're not eligible, if they fire you without cause but have only been working 27/hours a week etc you don't get it. So UE only covere a certain percentage of jobless workers.
@@junol Absolutely. It was premised on the Fordist contributory model (where there's a head of household contributing the lions share of income to the family and it's the norm to be working 40 hours for a single employet for years at a time) and unlike most other industrialized countries they never created a separate benefit for unemployed people who don't fit that criteria but need at least a minimal income (like RSA in France )
When I got my career "real job" with the USDA.back in the mid 80s, the boss of the office gave me this advice on my first day: "Keep your hand out of the till, your pecker out of the help, and don't stand in front of the door at 4:30.
Interesting podcast, but the parts in the intro and outro with the screaming sound effects are unpleasant to listen to (and the screaming drags on for far too long).
"Unhoused" uses the concrete noun "House", as opposed to the abstract notion of "Home"... moving the discourse toward a PHYSICAL idea. Literally, the "homeless" have no HOUSE to reside in. IDK, it makes sense to me. Let's use both terms. Let's "HOUSE" people FFS
people aren't so stupid that they can't see that the meaning of "homeless" already refers to being without a house... aka a home. the term does nothing to clarify. it's not even a lateral move. Amber is right, it's a neologism that is made to signal how "in the know" (and therefore more virtuous) you are. when the encampments that cops destroyed are described by the police chief as "unhoused encampments," really ask yourself what was gained
Yeah Thatcher’s deal of buying your council house turned out to be a fucking monstrous seduction as it was an Everything Must Go fire sale, a permanent retreat of the state from that sector in line with her broader privatisation agenda. She had no intention of replacing that stock and affordable housing has never recovered since.
What was yesterday's civility is today's dirtbag left is tomorrow's red brown alliance. The browbeating never stops. I really like your wheatus bit at the end, it's too damn catchy

Whoa! This young lady thinks podcasters have reinvented the media wheel. Which is silly. This is an exercise in celebrity culture not political analysis.
Yes I remember when Amber said "Podcasters invented celebrities, which are a wheel. That is what the left means. That is all I have to say." It's weird how it took two hours, but that is literally all she said, just really slowly so that it was a subsonic growl.
This was brilliant. Love Amber.

Startups often provide equity to employees so they materially benefit from a sale as well.

I'd rather she finish her book

This is the best podcast episode I have heard in a while. Fantastic discussion!
Great discussion. Thanks for posting.
I don't know if you were aware of this when you recorded the intro, but there was a woman being murdered in your basement.

From what I remember you also have to have worked at the same employer for over a year, you worked there for 11 months? You don't qualify. It's wild

Idk, shouldn't this "advice" go without saying?
Really great interview. I was wondering where Amber was. Seems the struggle to write a book is doing her well.
Great chat. Very enjoyable.
i remember the feminist hitch hiker.... thanks for the reminder.... and also the good chat about labour.
Are any new eps gonna come out? Just curious like your work :)

Amber Ali Jameelah Abu-Khalid bin Frost (P.B.U.H.)
Damn she even got James Bond in there. Couldn’t love her more.
Lmao the patreon comments are all wondering where she's at meanwhile she's hiding on another podcast
Amber lives the Care-Less philosophy quite well
Cool, subbed

Homelessness is just a symptom, put these people in houses and most will fck up just as bad
@@MrGold-lo6vc Great, but no housing activist from liberal to full-throatedly anti-capitalist believes housing alone is the fix, so what's your point?
