Because based upon WTO agreements and others, the US cannot force all contractors and suppliers to hire only or mostly within the US. The one exception is “national security”. So military spending is the most efficient to create jobs in the

Yes and no. Alone you could never afford the defense of the US military. You could never afford even a single nuclear warhead or a single aircraft carrier. So while you can exceed your specific benefits in local government, the reality is t

Because that requires new permits and new permits require impact studies and approval which must go through the public. Which makes it impossible in areas like that. Just replacement to exactly what was there does not require that approval.

I think you have to realize this is San Francisco specifically. Not the entire Bay Area. A lot of people worked in places south of San Francisco and then commuted south because SF is basically the only city nearby that isn’t awful. But now

I think the age of one of the largest generations and the timing of the pandemic is important to think about. If you were getting to your 30s, you are about at the age where dual income career minded couples start to have children. The oppo

There are so many ways for Mozilla to leverage their core competencies. Unfortunately failed management with no means to remove them means none of that will happen. Executive leadership at Mozilla is a disgrace that has now caused a tangibl

Honestly, and I mean this with full sincerity, your response is exactly the point. You just don’t seem to get the obviousness in front of you, just like almost all of Mozilla while the rest of the world sees how absurd and sad things are. M

This lay-off is not because of Covid or racism. It is because of the overwhelmingly awful executive leadership at Mozilla. Watching Mozilla leadership drive Mozilla into the ground over the last 8-10 years has been like watching a bus accid

There is nothing in California employment law that prevents open schedules. Uber can have employees with exactly the same working agreement. The main difference is that Uber now has to pay into things like unemployment insurance and workers

In California employers are absolutely not allowed to prevent workers from working for competitors outside of their working hours. You are correct that they can limit vacation time, but Uber could also limit vacation time for contractors. T

Do you have a link to the California law that states that an employee is not allowed to work for any other company? If anything California has specific non-compete laws and moonlighting laws that forbid a company from preventing their emplo

In the US, and more specifically California? Absolutely they can. California, like almost all states in the US, is an “at-will” employment state. None of these things are required under employment law at all. Can I ask where you found this

You realize there are tons of jobs with employees that allow employees to chose their own hours. There is nothing in this ruling that prevents Uber from allowing people to chose rides _exactly_ as they are doing it now. The changes are: 1.

Exactly, this is a re-zoning process not “opening a manufacturing plant”. I can almost guarantee this land was purchased for significantly less because it is agricultural land as well. States have plenty of reasonable concerns about re-zoni

Right. We need a lot more inflation. We need to devalue the dollar to make exports more competitive and rebuild the working class. Push the people making money off the stock market back into the workforce.

Inflation had almost stopped for several years. We’re still below the fed mandate. Inflation encourages people to work as opposed to living off assets they already own.

But is it fairer when a person lives in a country that intentionally has monetary policy that causes them to not be able to work for those lower wages? A person in the US is not legally allowed to move to one of those lower wage countries a
