Okay, so they made the claim that nearly every software engineer is against it. What is the proof?

That's odd because there are tons of engineers with software patents.

Not paying severance is not wage theft. Severance was not included in Twitter's employee contract.

How is it criminal behavior to not offer severance, which 99% of companies don't offer? Not offering severance has nothing to do with criminal behavior. If so, 99% of small businesses owners would be imprisoned in your world.

Severance is typically not "unambiguously contractually owed." The fact that many here would want company executives imprisoned for not offering goodwill boggles my mind.

It's ironic that you at first seem concerned about "normal folks that embrace the song", but then "down punch" them by calling them "useful idiots" at the end. Your "lack of awareness" is quite s

Good catch. You're right that rent is cheaper in Germany than Mississippi, which I did not know.

How is there "better" work when almost all of the new factories are opening in (or relocating to) right to work states? TSMC is opening the chip factories in Phoenix in a state that has right to work laws. Intel is opening one in

Median income only makes sense if cost of living is the same but it's not. The median house price in Germany is $410,000 and the median one in Mississippi is $254,900. It would be easier to afford a home in Mississippi with a $24.5k in

Median income is not an objective measure to compare wealth. Again as I said below, it does not take into account non-income based compensation like food stamps, housing assistance or child tax credits. For example, Medicaid compensation fo

It's quite ironic that you say that "economic systems should serve humans" but then support "tariffs" which will significantly increase the cost of living for the aforementioned humans.

Then they'll move their factories overseas. Unions do not have a monopoly on workers.

It wasn't meant to be snarky and I apologize if it came off that way. Median income doesn't account for federal and state benefits and other non-income compensation like food stamps, housing assistance, medicare, medicaid and chil

GDP/capita typically measures economic wealth and is typically used to compared economies. "Median income" does not account for cost of living which can explain how Mississippi can have a higher quality of life despite a lowe

Mississippi, being the poorest state in the union, is as rich as Germany (GDP/capita).

You're right but the person is talking in the context of competition and how competition doesn't reduce profit margins "for industries with big capital requirements."

Print trillions of dollars and then you can't figure out where inflation is coming from?
