If you need to even consider the difference between a one-time $200 cost to setup an LLC vs a $20 cost to setup an LLC, then you are going to have a really hard time being an entrepreneur and starting a business.

I doubt it - many schools can't even get 50% of the students proficient in math and english - I sure as heck don't want those schools teaching parenting skills as well.

Absolutely - I did my best business during and after the big 2008 meltdown -companies threw out the good with the bad in order to save money (on payroll) and then realized they still needed stuff done - but many departments in many companie

Will not be enforceable imo, not sure if it is even constitutional - like it or not, output of AI engines is a type of free-speech. (and no, not that 'AI' has free speech rights, the creators of the AI do)

I agree - I predict an awful lot of rent-seekers in this space that promise to make things more efficient/easier in the HC space - but really just end up adding additional costs that the founders can skim off the top without providing

of course not - you are not an 'insider' if all you are as a customer with a bad experience - no different than you buying puts on restaurant where you think the food is terrible or even made you sick.

Is it though? It seems many countries are too busy surveilling their own citizens facebook postings, emails and iphones than actually preventing bad things from happening around the world - one failure after another.

Yep, as much as everyone wants to assume that everyone in the C-Suite is an idiot - I am quite certain they also know that a lot of the work that is being done in big companies, doesn't actually need to be done - but when times are g

Well no kidding. Much easier to layoff people you never see - plus with the push to get folks to RTO, a few well placed layoffs of remote folks puts the fear into the rest, so they will fall in line. At my last job, which I left just a few

...and in this case provably wrong - there have been (in the USA) just 2 deaths, in all of commercial aviation, since the 737-max was introduced in 2015 - thats 2 deaths in 9 years. In the 9 years before (2014 back to 2006) that there were
