But how can you not interfere with the lives of other people? Shold I go live in the woods? If I am a private company, how much agency do I need to have to avoid interfering with the lives of other people?
Follow the law.
Interesting word you have there, “pluralistic”. Do you reckon catholics will have a say in what laws are passed?
Democracy means democracy.
Only the laws of a secular, liberal democratic and pluralistic state, with rule of law and universal respect for human rights are allowed to interfere with people’s lives, to the extent that said interference adheres to the social contract.
If you think this makes me somehow a hypocrite, go cry me a river.
Catholics and their views are perfectly fine so long as they don’t interfere with other people’s lives. Simple as.
Yeah right, “Trump wants”, lol.
I am not intimately familiar with your country’s legal conventions, but there is already a law (pedestrians having priority in crosswalks) that is being broken here, right?
I’m sure a strong legal case can be made here.
An individual driver breaking the law is bad enough but the legal system can be “flexible” because it’s hard to enforce the law against a generalized (bad) social norm and then each individual law breaker can argue an individual case etc.
But a company systematically breaking the law on purpose is different. Scale here matters. There are no individualized circumstances and no crying at a judge that the fine will put this single mother in a position to not pay rent this month. This is systematic and premeditated. Inexcusable in every way.
Like, a single cook forgetting to wash hands once after going to the bathroom is gross but a franchise chain building a business model around adding small quantities of poop in food is insupportable.
Is there a specifically anti-billionaire Lemmy community one could join?
