once again, it's not "fire", it's lay off. there is a difference.

All, you have to do is wait. Seriously, just wait. if the tech deflationists are right, you'll get more cost effective memory every several years or decades at least. In somehwere around 1999, my high school buddy, worked overtime sh

i think healthcare is one market where capitalism just doesn't work well at all. for those areas, it actually makes sense to introduce hard or soft price ceilings.

Potatoes store super well under the right conditions. somewhere about 10c to 13c or so is ideal. but even without that, i would imagine they'd last at least 3 months or so. i've seen charles Dowding store them in burlap sacks

Elon's pay package is not about getting paid. he just want to retain control of Tesla, since they're going to be producing vast numbers of robots.

a company gives you a free social platform and doesn't ask you to pay single penny and allows you to use it completely on your own terms. any and all info you share you do so of your own choice, nothing is required of you. and you t

to be fair the unemployment numbers have always had major problems. And the CPI, for over a decade now, is an insult to statisticians and economists everywhere. There have been absolutely egregious policies for calculating the CPI, quite b

absolutely! and they're now even putting freakin apps into washing machines. It's a disaster. It's getting harder and harder to find appliances that don't have all this nonsense in it.

there's a vast oversupply of labor so employers can take their pick and treat employees however they will. that doesn't mean the job market is broken.

i've been wondering this for some time as well. what's it all for? the only product i see in their lineup that seems obvious is the meta glasses. Other then that I guess AI would have to be used in their ad platform perhaps for

i agree with that. It's as if they tried to outlaw poverty. i mean look at all the insane housing regulations (zoning laws, regulations, permit costs, land usage policy) that prevent low cost housing from being built. I've seen

a credit instead of a refund is almost the same thing as not offering a refund. you're going to have a hard time using that refund in a manner that benefits you (not taking a flight for no reason)

Unlike that time, some money is actually being made. I heard some figures thrown around yesterday, total combined investments of over 500 billion! and revenues of about 30 billion, 10 bil of which was payments to cloud providers, so actua

This! i don't see how people think it's acceptable to cram people together like livestock when they object to the same conditions happening to chicken livestock.

I think it's a moot point. We've been trying to increase the number of jobs and the amount that jobs pay for most of modern history. And since when has that ever worked? well it worked until about the 70s and then we roughly f

based on my understanding of what all the financial pros are saying: they'll never let that happen. they'll inflate away to the moon before they allow for a deflationary bust. that's why everyone's in equities in the f

i think the answer is not unions. the answer is having the power to say NO. that means being okay with being unemployed for months, years or however long it takes, even if it's the rest of your lifetime. if everyone did that, employ

is anyone else here tired of building products for which there is little to no demand? What if we started with a product idea for which we know there is demand for: things people are already paying money for. For example: apples, or tires,

I agree that companies who are monopolies (especially government granted monopolies) have a responsibility towards society. But this does not apply to companies that need to compete to exist. For example, if a restaraunt or airlines (high

a company doesn't keep you because you performed well. they keep an employee because they need them to be more profitable, nothing more, nothing less.

well, as productivity per employee increases you need fewer of them. So lay offs can be seen as a sign of a healthy productivity increase. FAANG total headcounts have been trending down for years now (2-3).

by heathrow83829 1y ago
the first responsibility of any company is profitability. they have no economic, moral or ethical obligation to keep employees (no matter how well they performed), if it doesn't help them be more profitable. this should not be news.

the greatest proof that it's a useful tool is how much people are using it. Almost everyone is using it. If you're using it then you probably find it useful as well.
