34·22 days agoGenerations of conservative politicians have sold Americans the idea that government can and should be run like a business. That if it were run like a business it would be sunshine and rainbows with low taxes, and high quality services. Many people do genuinely believe this.

You assume those in charge are interested in helping out the average citizen, they aren’t.

It’s type N, the one that was invented by the EU to standardize Europe into one outlet. It was literally designed to be the best. Unfortunately killed off by lazy bureaucrats but not before Brazil and South Africa adopted it anticipating Europe would join in.
5·10 months agoI think it’s about depressing wages more than anything. Companies know WFH works just as well. But they also know people like it quite a bit. They have it away for free, by making in office default they can negotiate lower wages for people who really want to work from home.

Switch your phone apps to celsius and start your brain switching ASAP.

I once worked in a division of ~3500 employees, every year the division produced two profit forecasts one called “pessimistic” and another called “optimistic”. My first year the division made $335 million MORE than the optimistic forecast so the division CEO approved every employee a $335 bonus.
The next year it happened again but only $285 million, so $285 bonuses that year.
Both times I scoffed and quietly pointed out to the delighted Boomers I trusted that it was less than one third of a percent of the total money.
The next year apparently the corporate office found out, fired said CEO and quashed the bonuses forever. Apparently the distribution of the crumbs was more than they could handle.
When I last visited Argentina Uber was using the official exchange rates which were just fantasy numbers. As soon as you match with a driver they’d message you and you’d negotiate the cash price. Then the ride in the app would be cancelled.
Uber didn’t mind because they were still getting the ~$1 or so cancel fee for basically being a messaging app.

The Reddit comments 🤦🏽♂️ people can’t seem to understand he is talking specifically about labor done for other people not all the labor a person does in their lives.
Yes people in all periods had lots of household chores too, and we still do. This video isn’t about the time spent doing household chores, it’s about the time relationship between workers and employers.
They keep saying “both sides have to make sacrifices”, what exactly is Russia giving up? Why isn’t the size of the Russian military being severely limited as well, especially given they are the aggressor in multiple conflicts…
