And here we see how taxes drive away people.

Islam has solved this problem over 1400 years ago. Zakat is a form of wealth tax that applies to money over a certain minimum amount. For currencies, it's 2.5%. So if you have $1M sitting in your bank account for 1 year, then by the en

Looking at someone's history is a good indicator. Hasn't she already threatened to sue Google barely a few months into her job? If so, I don't blame them for letting her go at the soonest possible time. She gave them the oppo

It definitely was the hiring when HR was targeting SJW's to show how "progressive" the company is. What those employees end up doing is causing tantrums and playing victim then suing their employers. Now that the employers ar

Exactly the case. Plus, I'd trust someone like Jeff Dean who is accomplished and does not have a history of crying racism and "microagressions" at the slightest beurocratic issue. There are already a couple of posts on reddit

In aggregate, they seem to be. Most vote for dems who want to increase taxes. In a country with a two party system, it's basically the same as bringing their entire policies with them.

It's typical SJW narrative. People are tired of it, it's like the boy who cried wolf story. Hopefully at some point people will just learn to ignore these "woke" SJWs as they have their tantrums.

It's not nonsense economics because it's proven to work. Islamic finance heavily encourages proper economic growth through correct risk sharing. Want to open a business? Get VC funding and grow the company, if it succeeds, all par

The fix that no one seems to talk about is to abolish usury/interest. Islam, Judaism, and Christianity outlawed lending money with interest many centuries ago, and for good reason. Once the core is fixed, we will see benefits across th

I don't think letting go of a person for causing a tantrum is a bad thing. She threatened to quit, let her own up to it.

That's good to hear. The SJW crowd has caused enough chaos already.

It's because of a culture that praises playing victim, no matter how successful you are, and regardless of whether or not they're telling the truth.

This is the problem with hiring SJWs. They will claim being victimized, racism, etc. the moment they don't have their way. I'm sure many people would have loved to be in her position and have her salary and benefits. Some people c

Which makes a lot of sense. You don't want to keep an unstable employee around.

It shows how deluded the far left is honestly, when they think that anyone who doesn't agree with them is afraid to speak up, and not because what the far left stands for is outrageously foolish.

It's unfortunate. It shows their true colors, that they're just after virtue signaling and gaining power, so hopefully people will not listen to their lies anymore.

Why not report them for their harassment? Honestly, corporations should step in and put an end to this woke bs.

Hopefully these "woke" SJWs will receive a dose of reality.

That's the entire reason behind it, if they fire a "diversity and inclusion" individual, the latter will just claim (racism, homophobia, transphobia, latest fad of the day)

> The numerator is such a small percentage because so many fear losing their jobs for speaking out Or, more likely, they don't are about the whole "woke" movement and don't want anything to do with it.

Why is this such an issue? She was fired for making a tantrum, move on.

Seems like typical SJW behavior. Hopefully more companies will stand up to these far leftists and kick them out.

One good thing that Trump did is that he stood up to the bully CCP. Let's hope the upcoming administration will continue to do so.

Java already solved this with try-with-resources, which the linter or IDE can warn you about (because the instance has to inherit from `AutoCloseable`). Not so with golang's defer, where it is much more likely that the developer can fo

golang definitely did not get it right. golang errors are error prone, I've seen several cases in production code where they were either accidentally ignored or overwritten. Makes it terrible for writing safe software.

Having worked on large golang code bases, I'd take Java exceptions anytime. golang error handling is not only atrocious (you end up having to manually re-invent exceptions anyway), but also error prone and dangerous.
