You have to realize that a company is always optimizing for efficiency and salaries are no different. Giving out promotions when people are already working at the level they'd be promoted to is simply a waste of money. This is the auth

Because the car industry is incredibly powerful and an important of the European economy. Just like Big Tech is incredibly powerful and an important part of the US economy. I'm certain that if VW was a US company the current administra

> But where have X violated US law? It clearly continues to confuse that EU law does not, in fact, have any relevance outside of the EU. Then why did the US fine VW if US law does not have any relevance to companies headquartered outside

So you're saying that if the EU had less strict laws then such a reaction would've been appropriate? Then it would've been totally reasonable for the EU to sanction US senators to stop wasting everyone's time with their

You are the one who's deliberately missing the point. The EU accepted the findings from the US and took regulatory action. Whereas the US ignores the findings from the EU, refuses to take regulatory actions against big tech, enacts san

I don't trust that the information about my identity would not be recorded while selling me my "free speech token". So the chilling effect on free speech would be exactly the same.

Yeah, the $1,800 fine for not filing a worker's injury with OSHA is also strange, because I don't see how it would cost a company less than $1,800 to pay a lawyer to complete and file that form.
