If I'm wrong, say so and explain why. You said you didn't care if I was wrong or not. I should simply accept arguments whether they are right or wrong?

You are wrong because the article was about hard drugs, your comment was about pot. Anyone can stop smoking pot long enough to pass a drug test, opioids, not so much. Yes people fail pot tests for work, but that was not the point being made, so from a black and white perspective you were also just flat out wrong because you were too lazy and too high on your own opinion to bother reading what was being said. You are so full of your own opinions that you feel the need to instantly post them even when its not the topic at hand. Care to tell me for the 1000th time how you are happy McCain is dead and how you think everything in the world that is wrong is because of wars past that we have no control over having happened at this point?

As I pointed out it was nothing more than an excuse. Heroin users are not anything but the extreme exception at Amazon or Wal Mart or any of these other places we are discussing. It's asked of you where exactly these people are supposed to get other jobs and you come up with some article claiming they are heroin addicts. They are not.

One of 4 articles and I even singled it out as the last one I posted. Learn to read before you reply to me again, I'm done wasting my time with your non-sense.

Well, your version is quite foreign.

What's the first thing I should do if I want to be a communist? Should I get all the things out of my apartment and put them in the common area of the complex in case someone wants to use them?

Funny, but no.

What you would do is allow every worker a say in how their labor is utilized, and you would support unions taking power away from management, and handled by the workers. Stop supporting authority and give people an option besides slavery.

Also, support Mutual Aid. And then read some Kropotkin.

Should I fire my employees or give them the business I own?

Give them equal shares in your company.

That wouldn't be true socialism, but it would be a step towards freedom.

Bernie is right about Amazon, it seems. After his article, there were a bunch of guys with Amazon twitter handles swarming the tweets calling out Amazon saying that the article wasn't true. Usually when an employer has guys do online PR, likely from employees, like this, on places like Glassdoor, it's because they've got something to hide and don't want bad reviews to lose them business.
