As much as I support unions and labour rights, the last SAG-AFTRA strike mostly just helped the big studios realize they could do more with less. Hollywood is a factory town at the end of the day, and we all know what happened to most facto

I am also a Canadian who has decided not to visit the US until further notice, and honestly, I'm sad about it. In my 20+ years of regularly travelling to the States, I've almost always had great interactions with the people I&#x27

There are of course exceptions to every rule, and I'm sure some companies have been successful in building their own in-house tooling. At the end of the day these decisions are all series of trade-offs, and the trick is understanding y

The B2B startup motto of "where someone is using Excel to do something other than accounting, there's a startup waiting to happen" has been shockingly resilient over the decades, and I suspect will continue to be.

You are correct but I think you missed the point of the post I was responding to, which was claiming that employers don't need to worry about paying for health insurance for employees in Canada, which is inaccurate.

Yeah but Israel doesn't have the proximity (in culture, media, advertising, entertainment, etc) that we do to the US. All that US-centric stuff overshadows us constantly. And it's not just in the startup landscape. We literally h
