Remote work can result in a significant reduction in expenses for a company. Certainly when covid happened and we ended our office lease we saved thousands per month, even counting the increase in equipment cost for home workers. So even wi

It's theoretically a medical ethics issue because the system is not ready for deployment, so early use could be counter to competent medical care or the standards of professionalism, both of which would be violations of the AMA princip

That's interesting - I have always treated the first 3-6 months as a period to make sure the person is a fit and is ramping at the right speed, and letting them go if there is an issue within that period makes way more sense to me than

I don't know of a case where the Court affirmed shareholder primacy - as far as I am aware it's a state by state thing though since Delaware has it in their code it impacts a massive number of corporations.

I never understood why businesses accepted this. At least with digital marketing, it is possible to track pretty much everything and connect marketing campaigns with concrete results. It's actually not impossible to gauge the impact of

It took root in 1919, so I don't think that's actually the issue. The problem is short-term thinking based on financial markets and the ability of corporations to reinvest their capital freely. Regulating stock buybacks and the ab

The 14th amendment isn't a part of the founding document, and it does. If you are in a similar circumstance to someone, you are treated the same. If you are in a wheelchair and someone else isn't, you are not in the same circumsta

So you're just a socialist, then? Weird way to put it.

Interesting, that seems totally at odds with your earlier statement of "Back in the day we just used to say life isn't fair, play with what you have in the best way you could. And it worked." Yes, I agree, anti-discrimination

It wasn't, actually, it was saying that if you aren't a bigot you should be careful with your words because you are currently giving that impression. People who are upset that handicapped and vulnerable people get help or are prot

Let's get into the "at the cost of giving a shit about everyone else" part - do you think that, prior to anti-discrimination laws intended to create an even playing field, everyone got some kind of benefit that they no longer

I see. I've never read his work before, thank you. So they just got Cipolla's definition wrong, then. It looks like the third fundamental law is closer to "a person who causes harm to another person or group of people without

If you're really complaining that the guy in the wheelchair gets too much assistance in the form of a ramp to get into places or that children aren't treated the same as adults, you should take a hard look at yourself.

No - that's the reasoning behind the law. You appear to be struggling with the idea that the law as enacted does not accomplish the goal it was created to accomplish and are working backwards to say that because it is not accomplishing

You posted this elsewhere but to be clear, you are wrong. The defund the police movement, at least the one in the US that gained popularity between 2017 and 2021, was explicitly aimed at eliminating the concept of policing. The belief is th

The "defund the police" movement was not that well organized but I agree, they do have very specific and very well documented goals: the end of policing. They went hand-in-hand with the prison abolitionist movement. I get that yo
