Don't put words in my mouth. Pens don't have to be expensive, just not cheap garbage. Same with notebooks and so on. It's about having the most basic tools to do your job.

Facebook plans to organize regular in-person gathers for office and remote workers “to support the relationship-building.” Are relationships in the workplace necessary? In my experience they only move us further away from meritocracy.

Shareholders and employees. Where do you think salaries come from? If employees could generate income in isolation they wouldn't need jobs would they? The assets of a company are a shared resource that benefit everyone involved with th

They called too many people "racist" and so it became mundane. They had to up the ante to "white supremacist." It's become nothing more than a dog whistle.

I doubt it, considering he's now the largest private farmland owner in the United States. He's got a LOT of capital and it's growing every second. Now he'll be splitting it with his wife though and I expect we'll he

You just matched one viewpoint with an opposing one. At least the OP's opinion has some empirical evidence in the form of Gates, Jobs, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, and so on. All greedy robber barons of their time that made profound impact
