As I say headquarter outside the usa... list on a different stockmarket and just to be sure ensure all your data servers are outside of the usa and then your not in violation of anything

They can also make laws to penalize companies who do that sort of thing. No company wants to run afoul of the US government since that is where they make most of their money.
wage theft is against the law
One of my friends works at a company that their bathrooms were out of order. They had to close down the break room because they were pulling out raw sewage into said break room.
No bathrooms. If he had to go to the bathroom he had to go down the road to publix. There was a sign on the door that said if you leave you have to clock out.

Surely this is breaking the law?
I thought so. They had no bathrooms.
Isn't that part of the code of running a business?
They shut down and then got Porta potties the next day. But they were firing people who didn't clock out
eboue and harry reid getting quite nervous about liz
Eboue is Harry Reid
Liz will hug Bernie harder next debate to convince everyone she is a true Progressive.
If Warren/Biden loses to Trump, do you think Progressives will leave the Democrat party?
Think they will fight even harder to change the party from within.
Warren is a progressive, why would they leave if it was her running?
Where would they go? The Dem Party is the only game in town in terms of affecting policy. If they were to for example migrate to the Green Party or some wacky fringe group with no hope of affecting policy, they would be further away from power than they would by attempting to take over the Dems from within.
except she is not a progressive.
Only if you have a narrow, goal post moving definition of progressivism. A vast majority of people who don’t, view her as fairly progressive in contrast to the likes of Biden and Clinton.
Medicare For All is basic. She is not for it.
She talks the talk of course.
Better than Biden? Yes.
Hillary? No.
You mean sanders surely? She can't be worse than clinton
Did conservatives leave the GOP when Goldwater lost?
Closest analogy to what bernie could be, a Goldwater of the left
Progressives must take over the party from within.
Getting money out of politics as proposed by Bernie will go a long way to achieving this.

It's a bit idiotic to suggest that Warren is the party choice 
Labels like ‘progressive’ or ‘liberal’ are fairly meaningless/inadequate to describe the current ‘left’ wing of the Democratic Party. Even in the YouTube world, there’s a schism between someone like Kyle Kulinski and Cenk, with the former being vociferously for Sanders /anti-Warren, while the latter is receptive, even though they were both Justice Democrats founders.
Warren is a 1930/40s liberal Republican/social democrat. Big state, interventionist foreign policy, institutional defence, labour rights. Think someone like Wendell Wilkie, former activist Democrat who ended up running as Republican against FDR on basically identical platform. The current Sanders ‘wing’ is defined by social activism, mass movement, non-intervention, made up mostly of young people disillusioned in long standing institutions, financially crippled by student loan debt, medical debt, growing up with the US humiliated after Vietnam/Watergate/Iraq etc... Interests sometimes aligned but they are in two quite fundamentally distinct camp. Saying Warren/Sanders share the same ‘lane’ is a lazy oversimplification by the talking heads.

At some point next year we will be in a recession.
People will be looking for real solutions. Failing which they will look to blame.
No one expected Hillary to lose.
It can happen again.

It’s literally listed on her website. You’re doing Bernie Bros’ reputation a disservice with your partisanship.

She has backed down from it. It's a matter of sincerity and the same issue with Hillary when people would say "she has the mist progressive platform OF ALL TIME". I just posted Harry Reid saying he also doesn't believe she is committed to it.
Although she claims she's for it, most people know it won't happen irrespective of who is elected. So there is a degree of hedging that is going on with certain candidates, since they know they could also be held to account for overpromising on something that has no chance of passing. The last thing any of them want is for healthcare to be held as an albatross around their political necks.
Who is voting for Buttigieg ffs
we've been through this with obama already. its not bro-ish to be skeptical of someone who has hedged and conditioned at every turn.
He has that generic midwestern quality about him, so its not particularly surprising he's doing a bit better in Iowa.
Bernie needs to distance himself from Warren at the next debate so it is obvious that she does not stand with him on the policies he is advocating.

That’s worrisome alright. There’s no sane reason not to provide free healthcare to all. Anything else is BS.
I feel like Buttigieg exists mainly to WUM people in this thread.
Just a little bit pregnant....
people with no material concerns who watch 3 hours of msnbc every day
...and they feel good about themselves saying they voted for a homosexual.
Why don't we just form a fecking country. We should just pony up whatever we have and be done with this shit show.
It makes me sick!
We can't call it freedom because that's been used.
Let's call it don'tbotherusland
Rand Paul and Tulsi Gabbard may be interested.
