I think you need to research the issue more. Teachers are well remunerated in most states. Educational outcomes are largely a function of policy settings. Have a look at the amazing turnaround in literacy rates in Mississippi after they sta

You were likely happy to be automating other people out of a job, now it's happening to you. This is the creative destruction that is critical to a healthy and prosperous economy.

Haha what? It’s the literal opposite mate. We’ve had an explosion of independent and non-capital aligned media. No matter what your brand of crazy is, you can find the “thought leaders” and community for you.

It doesn't make it harder to "write off R&D"; it stops bullshit accounting practices by tech firms and forces them to capitalise and depreciate rather than expense stuff that is obviously capital in nature (unless you thi

Because cars are a high $ item vs. shoes. A business's overheads don't scale linearly with item price, so it's possible for a car mfg to achieve a similar net profit margin to a shoe mfg but with substantially lower gross pro

OP will be talking about gross profit not net, and also totally ignoring the substantial overhead investments in brand marketing, customer service, stores, etc, that luxury goods brands have to make.

because businesses have overheads? and customers have brand preferences that stop (or limit the success of) Footlocker just selling generic models without Nike's involvement?

Without commenting on this specific situation, you're very naive to think government/regulatory policies are not exploited in systematic ways by rings/gangs. Have a look at cum-ex dividend fraud in Germany, GST refunds on gol

Yea, and after all that they still only eked out a 4% net profit after tax for 2024.

This is a ridiculous standard. News headlines at the moment would have an error rate wildly above 1.3%. The articles about Apple having trouble with LLM headlines is that the on-device model is weak and it's trying to compress too much

The government and its planning bureaucrats are the ones smacking you.

Cool, so speculators are just providing shitloads of liquidity to people trading in goods and services. As an importer/exporter, I love that FX is so liquid, cheap, and easy today.

Mate, what on Earth are you talking about? "Even capital intensive industries could just borrow money from investors" > What do you think publicly traded companies are?

They have to file accurate statements with the UK government re some R&D tax incentives they claim; you can have a look at those filings on companies house. They lag the website but broadly align. + the $750m only includes ship sales. I

Wait until you read about the efforts by the current left-wing government to block social media for children. Which is basically an attempt to deanonymise the internet.

Next to the USA, Australia provides some of the highest earning opportunities for medical specialists thanks to its very well-developed private sector. A doctor might clock AU$300/400k for a 0.5FTE role at a public hospital, and then b

You can try to justify it all you want, but we all know if you were genuinely offered that deal, you'd take it.

It takes two parties for a transaction to work. Basically, you're railing against free markets and the free exchange of ideas/money/work/etc.

The actual buyers of payroll software don't care and if you think people are going to evaluate their potential employer based on what payroll solution they use, you are wrong.

This attitude is why journalism is dying. There is value to an undissected payment to the publisher that gives them revenue surety and lets them fund a variety of reporting, even if you don't personally find it interesting or relevant.

Only people who have zero understanding of the value of distribution in business would write this. Apple provides tremendous value to app developers.
