If you do the math, your "100x" credit comes out to 13.8% of your monthly payment in credit per hour of down-time. That's not terrible or extravagant. The 100x multiplier is there only to make the credit reasonable, without i

You're not wrong, the objective is assumed to be Lipshitz which is continuous.

Maybe, my point is that isn't not a 'win' for the laborer like you seem to suggest, that maybe 50% of the people losing their jobs get to work better jobs. The people losing their jobs that are lucky enough to not be laid off

You could also spend months of your life learning the intricacies of measure theory, but then every measure in probability is a positive sigma-additive unit measure. One can learn the necessary topology, analysis (etc.) in the relevant plac
