That's the economic basis of any product though. No difference between video games and any other piece of software, if you don't make money you go out of business. The pay rate and quality of life differences are based on other ec

I'm going to assume this was NOT an MLB team. Based on the pay rate I see for MLB advanced media, which are all in line with general market rates for devs etc, I would assume the individual teams are offering similar rates.

I'm tapping out here if you're just going to keep going in on semantics my dude. You're not addressing the real point, that your credit score can be used against you in housing and employment, you're building a semantics

The implication hidden in OP's comment is that Amazon, a multi-billion dollar company, is seeking to pay less money to people generating content for its platforms and instead provide users with an inferior product. The question was sem

So you're just over here arguing semantics? "FICO" vs "credit history" is the "Kleanex" vs "tissues" debate of the credit world. A FICO score is just a brand name credit history product. The poin

Okay, so you admit that employers pull FICO scores, but that they then just go "well, we've seen it and now we won't use it in any way to influence any decisions whatsoever"? When why are they pulling it? That doesn&#x27

More likely the tariffs (and currency manipulation by the Chinese) will just result in other Asian nations ramping up their factory creation. I know my company (we make toys and games) will be looking at Vietnam and a few other South East A

That's an extremely narrow version of global economics. There are tons of benefits to local markets being serviced by local producers, and there are also benefits to being serviced by foreign producers. Also, if you take those jobs awa

It carries the exact same amount of legal weight as me ordering Trump to vacate the presidency immediately. It's an extremely weird tone, but this has been an extremely weird presidency.

I know what types of sturgeon caviar's you're discussing. The types of dishes I'm thinking of would often be using caviar as an ingredient. Even with the high salt content, if you're using caviar as part of a larger dish

All wealth is a 0 sum game. All money you have is money someone else doesn't have. I agree we have a pretty great difference in world views. I have no problem with markets, but "trading labor for money" is one of those paradi

Counterpoint: It's a singular way to know that your work is appreciated. It's not the only way. It's far from the only way in fact. Here's a short list of ways to see that your work is important: -Direct comments from

What is it about working that makes it so depressing for you to not do it? Is it the earning of money for yourself? If so, you're greedy. That's fine. Be greedy. Not a great look, but we're just being honest with ourselves. I

That is a bad faith, gross oversimplification of what happened. Their employers used them as part of a political optics campaign and threatened to dock their pay if they didn't play along. Saying "I'm going to shoot you if yo

Yes, it is. There's so many different rights that a union could argue for. SAG or professional athletes unions are some great examples. There's still large ranges of contract options available, tailored to an individual. But there

That's a lot of assumptions my dude. I don't see who is the "dictator" in your example as it relates to a union shop. You're all small (1 person) dictatorships, but you could also frame it as 1 person democracies? I
