Actually you are wrong. You can be legally obligated to join a union in any non Right to Work state. Unions almost always have a union security clause forcing employers to only accept their members who are in good standing. Unions are also

Unions ruin nearly every company they touch Government unions are even worse because the government is largely able to support a nearly unlimited budget. Let's not forget that unions are not opt-in or opt-out. If you work in a union sh

It's hard to bleed a company dry if you are insisting that they pump in ever more blood. If a company dies your shares become worthless.

As a shareholder this would really put me off. Unions are one of the main reasons we had such a huge American auto crisis just a few years ago. I'm largely anti-union anyways. We should have government enforced guarantees of decent tre

It could be ok in context. Maybe it wasn't. But just commenting that you think someone is good with kids shouldn't be offensive. If the VC literally wanted the demoer to watch their kids then sure that's not ok.

They've been clear on this point for quite a while. When I purchased mine with full self driving capability, I read it in the fine print and thought it was very smart of them. It's a weird proposition to turn your luxury car into

The site is down right now for me. Is this like Patreon but for open source projects? If so, I would love that.

The people who need a loan, will not be the people affected by AmazonBasics. AmazonBasics will only copy extremely well selling products. If you need a loan you do not have an extremely well selling product.

I believe a lot of endowments have only specific uses. You can't just spend as much as you want on whatever you want. It also gets buy-in from the community. Even if you can afford to run something for free, accepting donations is a gr

Following that example, people would then break the law in a serious way every time they want to make a career change. Heck you get free training, room, and board! And a brand new set of skills and a job when you get out. Some people need t

Well no that's not my reaction. You shouldn't jump to conclusions that you want to exist. He had a bad time in jail. He is now unlikely to break the law again, right? But maybe I'm wrong. Given his other comments it sounds li

I think I need to one up your boorishness. I don't think you are likely to break the law again right? That sounds like an effective correctional system. Sure it sucked. But jail/prison should suck.

I never suggested it does or doesn't. It's just a bad agreement for the world compared to one that gets China to actually curb their emissions.

by enknamel 9y ago
Why should that matter? All that matters is the environmental damage is reversed. That requires reducing emissions until we produce technology that can massively pull carbon out of the air. Continuing to insanely pollute the environment in

Please read before replying. I have at no point said "These people, they're the problem, and the best way to fight the problem of this group of moderate polluters is for the US to renege on its commitments to fight climate change.

by enknamel 9y ago
Yes but if you care about the environment it doesn't matter. Reducing the overall emissions is all that matters. And giving the biggest polluter a free pass to keep polluting is insanity.

by enknamel 9y ago
Well no it wouldn't. Per capita doesn't matter as much as total emissions. Amdahl's Law. China contributes more than double the next country in terms of green house gasses, and they are contributing more per capita year over

There is a massive difference between caring about the environment and following the Paris Climate Agreement. We as a country can do a ton to reduce our damage to the environment. However it is going to be a drop in the bucket to what some

Personally I feel the majority of road accidents fall into category 1. As long as you are very careful and aware of your surroundings you can avoid a huge number of accidents. This is probably why experienced drivers get huge discounts on c

I see many founders manage themselves out of their position. You hire a VP or Director to replace yourself in the day to day and then you transition out to the point where you can just go do whatever you want inside the company. Want to go

Donations do not imply liking a candidate or party. Large companies will always donate across the board to keep in favor with whoever wins. The government has a huge amount of control over the fate of these companies. That is partly why the
