That and many other dynamics. Bullying is one. A lot is just dumbing down. Reduction to meme. Thinking by affiliation. Picking sides. Factionalism. Populism. Statements have scores. Followers. Upvotes. Retweets. Everyone is gaming some sort

Well said. Our 21st century version, at least to me, is even harder to phrase... at least currently. I thought connecting everyone, all opinions, minds, ideas... I thought it would be good. It was, at first. There were ways for the better

It's a "naive" statement maybe. But idk. Were Charles Manson or the unibomber "naive" to think they could achieve their goals, their way? It's not a naive mindset, whether or not the conclusion is. I don&#x27

I don't think naivety is a good description. It's something else. Mental habits that are entirely rhetorically based. Basically, George Orwell's nightmare

I didn't mean to suggest it was. The article/union didn't either, and I was just commenting on their position. That said... Unions are prevalent in sectors . My point is that Tesla knew this was coming. They are not a so

yeah... Honestly, I think governments in some places (Sweden certainly) should just formalize these practices and make them easier and more transparent. Work is getting international. There is value for Swedish workers and the economy here.

Just treat the system as the system. Locate there if your business model works in that system. If you plan on a "normal" employment model where workers get fired sometimes, redundancy is part of your MO, etc... don't locate t

Either Sweden adopts US labour laws or sanctions? This stuff really gets people worked up. If Tesla doesn't want a Swedish location, they don't have to have one. There's nothing extreme or dysfunctional about Swedish labour n

You are reading one side of the dispute's statement. That said, yes, it doesn't sound like their on specific demands, at least currently. They want Tesla to "accept the swedish labour model." "Decent and safe workin

So it sounds like the action isn't about particulars, at least not at this point. They are describing the dispute as being about general principles afaict. That Tesla should accept the "swedish labour model" in general. They

Our understanding of economic "classics" like manufacturing often seems to be one generations' propoganda layered onto previous ones. Labour productivity, today, is a very hard metric to understand. I'm not sure it means

Certainly agree on the "think more, talk less" front. I think we often forget or don't realize quite how central talking , and thinking about talking is thinking, is our thought process... or a substantial part of our thou

Diets seriously need to be considered through the lens of Occam's razor. First, radical dietary changes cause rapid fluctuations in weight regularly. Not fat, weight. Second, if you eat only one thing or are generally restrictive...

This is also how auto manufacturing works, and is built in to a lot of the defining trade agreements. Final assembly happens locally. This make up "value add" minimums to avoid tarrifs. It's also good PR. No one care where th

I think you probably put your finger on the rational driving force here. If you can't/don't control the borders anyway... It might be more rational to just go with that and enable official channels and/or rules to work.

Software is too valuable, too high potential. It's production methods too creative, too subjective, and insufficiently legible. So... We can't afford not to do it. Sometimes we can't do it, and we can't afford not to jus

>> They are writing law in MS Word and negotiating any changes in law by sending paragraphs over email, which they check once a day at most. Fair point. But, I don't think it's good enough, at this point. Software is not new

Most of the pseudo-contract BS that defines consumer-company relations is trash legal theory. It should have never held water in the first place. The fact that our legal systems have tolerated and supported it, mostly demonstrates how intel

Thank you! I guess I deserve the downvotes for coming in hot and opinionated. In my (admittedly lame) defense, mine literally is an off the cuff comment in a place intended for such. Your comment demonstrates well what I was (failing) to ge
