MFW government want to imprison me for labor crimes
(hexbear.net)
"China is evil because no freedom of speech, anyway I wasn't banned because of speech but because I'm a capitalist leech that doesn't pay workers"
The absolute, shameless gall to write something like this
"I'm not allowed in China, but it's not because of free speech restrictions or 'commercial disputes', it's because I am in debt and cannot fulfill my legal obligations"
"Yeah, they'd imprison me for being unable to adequately compensate my workers because I was so trash at running a business"
"Well, they might not imprison me, but they might prevent me from leaving the country"
Why would that matter, hmmm? You said you were paying the people who deserve to be paid. Why would you need to leave the country?
And that's just the drivel in this screenshot
This is a snake in the truest sense
Wish you could use that argument with late bills. "These are fair, and I'm paying them. Incrementally. It's actually authoritarian to believe you deserve payment on time."
Not when it comes to paying workers of course, but the bills thing? Abso-fucking-lately!
is when you are held liable to pay your employees the money you agreed to pay them.
I was taken aback by how casually management decides to simply not pay for services if it's inconvenient to come up with the money. It really put those statistics about wage theft into perspective
Which statistics
Money now is worth more than maybe some money later paid in increments.
wait so they're not even at risk of imprisonment, just prevented from leaving the country? dude we do worse than that here to people who smoke weed. shit that's just what not having money does to you.
If I take standards given here my student life was basically a solitary cell in max security
They won’t let me skip town to avoid my debt! Waaaaaaaah communism!
mFer, pay your debt first, what do you think happens when a workplace closes, huh?
You think wage labor simply comes and goes, like in America?
This is refreshingly honest, they at least admit that it's not because of their political opinions
They'll get the re-education camp instead of the wall
I think they should get the wall for this exact reason.
It isn’t politics, simply because they can.
Line em up.
I believe in rehabilitation, and self-awareness is the first step for that
From the text all I got was that they admit the reason they are held in the country and their responsibility, the workers deserve the compensation, and they can't leave the country before it's paid off
The rest of the article might change the tone, but going off from what's provided, they sound like almost aware class traitor
They obviously suck since the workers are going to be paid "incrementally", but for me the wall is reserved for people who are an immediate or unavoidable danger for everyone else
It isn’t politics, simply because they can.
Based on this we'd have to massacre half of the population
Personally I reserve the wall for people with no hope of rehabilitation; Puyi lived as a happy communist gardener for the rest of his life
If an emperor can be rehabilitated, I hope we as leftists can give the same grace for upper management
my faith in humanity in general is less…. optimistic.
“The EVIL SEE SEE PEE is REFUSING to let me flee from my crimes!”

I bet you this woman has plenty of scratch to be able to pay two workers a year’s salary, but there’s some shady reason she isn’t doing it (or it’s just straight up greed).
WaPo thinks Americans will be horrified at the thought that laws that tell capitalists what to do are actually enforced in China.
What is it about the standalone phrase "Here's why"?
Why does it immediately activate skeptical mode?
