This is dumb, Bezos showed how the vast majority of people Bernie is talking about work part time. If you work part time, of course you’re going to be on government benifits...Full time employees get a lot of benifits aside from pay as well

I use high CBD tincture 25:1 and a sleep tincture composed of about 30% indica thc/cbd and the rest non addictive herbs. I have a lot of pain and am unable to dissociate from it enough to sleep until I’m completely exhausted which seve

Thanks for the reply! I like how everyone’s experiences in this thread have many similarities. Speaking Japanese is important, life there is great but developer pay is poor. There is some good advice on finding higher paying jobs here that

Thanks for the insight! Glad you had a great experience and I’m sure others will find this helpful if they decide to make the move too. Looks like if you use the other advice here and get the decent paying developer job, it’ll be a great mo

Can I ask you a few questions, if you don’t mind. Are you fluent in Japanese? Have there been any major instances of discrimination at work? I know you’ve been there 10 years, but is this a place you’d be happy for the rest of your life to

This is the first comment I’ve seen approving that tweet and it’s every bit as deluded and cringeworthy as I’d expect. Musk never even apologized for that one did he?

The Mojave Desert. It’s 48,000 square miles and almost uninhabited. We need 2% of that for almost 1000 sq miles. The Trump admin has approved that land for solar but the environmentalists are fighting hard against it, making bidding compani

This is NOT a cultural thing folks. I really want to emphasize this basic basic fact. There are over 4 million Chinese Americans living here, 99% the most hardworking, honest, brilliant immigrants in America. The lowest crime, some of the h

In the article it says that one of the reasons for the increase is due to upwards inflationary pressures and says 2.2% inflation. The fact that we’ve had such tepid wage increases for the past decade that a measly .6% growth is the best in

I don’t use Facebook and greatly dislike the company but I completely agree with your analysis and think that’s a very common thought process to have. It’s a value play that has outrageous growth potential not to mention the best talent in

Why is it dropping by 25%? I’m buying after hours but it just wiped off 150B in market cap over decent earnings. Beat eps, similar growth, slight dip in Europe expected, no dip in Canada or US.

Hit the nail on the head right here. You just can’t take the risks anymore. Everything is too expensive and it isn’t worth it anymore when Facebook dangles such a fat pay check in front of you. Entrepreneurship and free thinking has turned

That’s neat. High probability of employee taking your offer and not just shopping around because they are layed off and good for the employee who needs to make ends meet quick. I like that they try to exclude companies that had mass layoffs

So Microsoft is out of the phone business and basically the browser business. That’s the 3rd major phone OS. The rest are Chinese and there’s a huge cultural gap for them to become competitive in Europe. Google may have stifled OS competiti
