You're outlining the problem but presenting it like an inevitability.
That's why we're in this mess. We see these things as inevitabilities.
You know what that means? We don't control them. So we're going to create a bad situation for ourselves because businesses cannot pull out of a basic game theoretical problem? You think this is OK and not worth looking at? What is even your endgame here?
- danieltillett 8y agoYou are attributing to me approval when all I am doing is describing the problem. I don't have a good solution given the current economic system.
- mistersquid 8y ago> You are more than welcome to start your own business with a more relaxed environment, but don’t be surprised when a company with a lower work/life balance puts you out of business. This quote from your earlier comment comes after you finish "describing the problem". Taken together, the rhetorical effect is an expression of fatalism. Your formulation accepts the currently destructive state of affairs. It's disingenuous to say "all I am doing is describing the system". You're describing the system and then subtly suggesting any attempt to improve matters is folly. EDIT: Fix number agreement in first sentence.
- textor 8y agoStarting an individual business is (normally) not an attempt to improve matters at the system level, unless by matters you mean the ratio of happy/unhappy workers and not the stucture of market incentives. It is a folly and he's absolutely correct.
- danieltillett 8y agoI am not accepting the current state of affairs, I just don’t have a good solution to change it. Neither does the GP, nor anyone else here.
