After I read your comment the second time 5 minutes later, I had a realization (?): Are you actually being sarcastic? (That would explain the downvotes too. And your username.)

Because of the sensational headline, I'm not even going to click on this. Is there even a real difference between The Guardian and the Daily Mail?

Can you elaborate?

Exactly. If you're outside the US, you can only be a contractor, even if you work full-time for your company. There are no caps on how high a contractor's fee can be - that's not the case with employee salaries. There are mor

There's no no need to use a formation service. Incorporating a company in the US is very easy and can be done online, even by foreigners. All you need is a Registered Agent and they start at $25/year (in Wyoming). I'd also li

Well, your motivation is my motivation too, we just happen to have a different idea of what is 'abhorrent'. I'm just tired of seeing these kinds of political comments go unchallenged. It was my interest in tech that made me c

I didn't know that meme; it's actually funny. What's wrong with asking people to put their money where their mouth is? I thought engineers are not like these managers/salesmen/'talkers' that say one thing

I was merely following kaba0's reasoning. If you're going to advocate for the breaking up of monopolies, why pick only the low-hanging fruit? Your comparison is not apt. The root directory is merely a container for its subdirector

It's interesting that you always preface your arguments with a conclusion. I wonder if that's how your thought process works as well. You get paid for already owning money... that you had to earn previously. There are many other e

There's no such thing as passive income; there's only delayed income. You're not getting paid for nothing; you're getting paid for putting in the work ahead of time. What's wrong with that? I never claimed everyone

Yes, but I wasn't advocating for the abolishment of anything; I was merely pointing out that there's a double standard. To rephrase your words, don't the people get the 'monopolies they deserve'? After all, neither

A low-level worker made that career choice themselves. They were well aware they wouldn't become rich by working in a warehouse, no matter how many hours they worked. They still have their life in their own hands: They can look for ano

Oh, but you do have a say: You can work for Google! It's the same as moving to a different country and becoming a citizen to be eligible to vote. Referees, in comparison to governments, can be fired for doing a poor job.

I'm going to rephrase my original comment, which got flagged: There's inherent hypocrisy in having the biggest monopoly of them all regulate smaller monopolies. Because they're 'monopolies'. Right.

How much money somebody has access to is directly correlated with how much time (of which everybody gets the same 24 hours a day) they spend on trying to earn money. People who care less about money will earn less and that is their own faul

uBlock Origin has been my favorite browser extension for years (it's in fact the only one I have installed). These days I only use it for YouTube however. The best way to avoid ads is not to visit sites that have them.
