Well I'm glad we're in agreement there's no objective measure of value of these workers. > if those types of workers vanished, Amazon would not have any value. I disagree, in a world with only higher wage workers, a busine

Who's to say that those jobs are providing the value though? You'd have to do a much deeper analysis than looking at Amazon's profit margins given the fact that they have all sorts of automation their employees didn't p

> Consider what would have happened had we actively helped developing countries become developed? Have you looked at what happened in China over the past several decades? Amazon definitely had a hand in that.

Bacon and other processed meats are listed as a group 1 carcinogen, along with smoking and asbestos. This is due to the nitrate content (which gets converted to nitrosamines during cooking).

I think Betteridge's law of headlines still applies here even though the question is answered in the title.

Yeah, he's just one health crisis from complete bankruptcy. What if he goes to the hospital complaining of a headache and they charge him $182 billion for an aspirin?

Personally I've always planned to be FI by the time I was 40, so I wouldn't need to worry about depending on a job.

And "applies to everyone" should mean "applies to the entire market for GME". If you halt trading, you halt it for everyone.

Couldn't have anything to do with RH only allowing you to sell the stock, could it?

Or just that you have some kind of disposable income.

Nobody would be complaining if they lost a ton of money on a stupid trade. In fact they would be posting loss porn on the front page of the subreddit and laughing about it. In fact, some WSBers did short GME and lost a bunch of money. But

So is any group of people, including hedge funds and the government as we've seen over and over and over again.

Some self-acknowledged idiots making a few million on the stock market isn't going to have any measurable impact on the entire economy. And it'll be balanced out by a few hedge fund millionaires having to sell their third yacht.

People don't always have to be improving themselves at work. At a certain level of skill (say average), just doing your job is enough. Now sure, if you want to get ahead at work, then it's a good idea to go the extra mile, b

Its not just about reserves, though I believe you about the stockpile. It's also states not administering fast enough.

You mean the vaccine against the virus that has already killed 300k people in the US? Its very clearly desirable to get all of the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions vaccinated as quickly as possible since they have such a hig

Interesting. I've always valued higher pay over other benefits and I'd like to retire early so job security doesn't matter much. I guess I would prefer being non-union too.

And get people vaccinated as quickly as possible instead of sitting on stocks of unused vaccine.

Or it could be neither. Perhaps that revenue isn't being generated in the first place.

This makes it sound like there are a bunch of vaccine doses waiting on the sidelines? Is this the case? I would hope they are being administered as fast as they can be produced at this point.

Admittedly I don't know much about work relations in Europe but are SW engineers unionized there? A union could 1.)allow workers to aggressively collectively bargain for more money 2.)add additional requirements (licensure, education
