>Talent is equally distributed ?????????????? Alrighty then.

No. In fact, it is the exact opposite. Who would YOU think is more valuable - someone who stayed in the same job for 10 years, made 4 or 5% wage increases every year, or someone that drastically increased their income every few years. So le

It reminds me of the dot com bubble in 2000. I remember clearly walking around in San Francisco, and every younger person that I saw had a scared and stunned look on their faces, realizing how most of them either were, or were going to be,

Totally agree with Grimburger - get an office at an executive suite, or some place like that. Regus is really nice. Always in Class A buildings, totally well-appointed. Kitchen, fridge, internet. You can start working the same day you sign

Depends now how actually talented the raw talent is. Tom Brady, Wayne Gretsky, Michael Jordon, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, Joe Montana, LaBron James. Actual top-of-the-line talent drives everything. Sure, Kobe Bryant would not win against anot

That reminds me of my experience with the cannon. I was driving on a highway once here. And pulled off to get some gasoline. At the gas station, there was a semi truck with a huge object on it, and two military people were filling up the t

Where are you going to? I was going to use Vimeo starting soon, but now, I don't think so. So what other places exist to post videos? Digital Ocean? https://www.digitalocean.com/solutions/streaming/

I have been a devoted follower of firefox for a long time. However, recently I have run into a lot of situations where foxfire does not work with some of the apps I need, and chromium based browsers do work. These apps are vital to what I d

OK, fine, maybe I was being a touch hyperbolic. But really, the thing is - they keep your information for forever. It's on their hard drives. There's no guarantee that what they say today, won't change tomorrow, or in 2 years

Right. And that would be my point. That why do people use gmail and yahoomail, etc, when they have permanent records of every single word you write, but people would be outraged if the USPS scanned every piece of mail contents and sold it

by France_is_bacon 5y ago
Well, it only gives a false sense of security to people who are not paying attention. It literally says that it will give information to governments with a valid search warrant. They never have hidden that, ever. While, yes, it is true that

That does not work for me. The owner can just pay himself a $1.5 million salary that erases any profits, just like the movie industry is so adept at doing. They can also start other companies, and buy stuff from the other corporations in

by France_is_bacon 5y ago
Then all owners need to raise their prices while protecting their profit margins. Or alternatively, fine, do it that way, but look at the owners' financials and wealth (not just income). If they are making $1.5 million per year, then l

That is what I'm saying. Employees are NOT choosing to work, because income disparities are too high. For most of the 20th century, tax rates were from 70% to 90%. It changed to around 35% in 1986 after Reagan passed an act setting it

This does not skew at all towards the coastal cities. In the coastal cities, even a two income home, with both people earning $300,000 cannot even afford a home. $50,000 would be a joke of a joke. First thing: let me ask you this...are y

Yeah. Real nice to go to the extremes. What's next on your argument list...that we should all kill ourselves and there won't be any supply and demand and therefore have a permanent solution? No. What I am saying is that if you are

Cut your projections on your revenue in half. Triple your projected expenses. As you stated, spend as little as possible. Make every penny cry. Jeff Bezos had all his desks for himself and his employees made out of old doors put on legs - t

Does not negate what I said. I said that the USPS does not open your mail, scan it, and sell it to the highest bidder. And, actually, the article you linked to only gives that information to government entities, which, in my post, I said th

by France_is_bacon 5y ago
Right. But I'm talking about opening your letters, scanning them into a computer, and selling that information. I personally don't fill out the change of address forms.

Never had a problem with any of this. Yes, it is time-consuming, but so is everything in business. Maybe if I have someone to open a business in my name, do all the work, and I just sit and drink margaritas at the beach all day, none of wor

by France_is_bacon 5y ago
That is correct. Which is why people are refusing to go back to work. The wealthy get wealthier and those at the bottom are getting left behind, with no insurance, hugely expensive housing prices. The dynamics are saying "F you".

Then that dude should legit go out of business and get a job as a janitor for $16,000 per year.

Depends on how you look at it. If the owner has 10 restuarants, and is making $750,000 per year, let's say, then he or she does have an unlimited amount of money, compared to the workers, especially if the workers are making the federa

For me, I NEVER expect protection from any governmemnt authorities. They have unlimited resources (compared to a regular person), and you can't fight city hall, as the saying goes. The reason I use tutamota (similar to protonmail) is t
