Organizing is difficult. Wealth is created because they are able to appropriately organize people into the jobs they are most efficient. They are able to get people to work harder, produce more, and more efficiently use resources. You might

True. Apple has bugs that have been posted on their forums for like 10 years that haven’t gone away and rack up hundreds and sometimes thousands of comments. They don’t care. In some cases they block further comments without ever fixing the

In Seattle recently they tried to use cement to seal the fire exits before burning the police station in order to kill the police inside. I would say that counts as an attack on the police.

That article doesn’t provide any meaningful information on deaths. It does saying they are “spiking” in certain states but any review of data in the US will show that deaths are not increasing nationwide and the “upticks” in COVID-19 deaths

There is so much misinformation online and in this thread. Take off the s of that figure in the US. That is a lie, the death count is only over a hundred thousand and COVID-19 deaths at their peak accounted for only 20 % of deaths In the co

The US did actually slow the spread significantly. Look at when the first case appeared in each country. The time until the virus started spreading in US was weeks after other countries first cases.

Not only will the shutdown only delay deaths, the shutdown itself will cause deaths. With 3 million people ALREADY losing their jobs after less than a few weeks of shutdowns, we could see 10 to 20 million losing their jobs if this lasts sev

Unemployment relief is a temporary solution because people are usually single skilled. For example an airplane engineer doesn't easily get a new job in another industry.

It does the opposite. Buybacks send that money directly back into the economy to the shareholders that sold.

My guess why Getty won the lawsuit is because lawsuits are in order to grant damages and she wasn't able to prove monetary damages to herself as it was already in the public domain. Unfortunately there is very much law enforcement agai

You are dead right but I wonder if the article is badly representing the story or her lawyers were bad because Getty won the lawsuit anyways. Perhaps she did download the photo from Google images or something and it did have Getty watermark

Literally all a license is in many cases is just making sure a contractor has insurance and a bond to cover any issues. Getting a license takes less than a day to get And is a matter of filling out a form where I live if you have the insura

A lot of what the author said is negated by the fact banks build into their loans that the rate can not drop below zero and that is before their spread (profit) is added to the rate. What is correct is the rate cannot continually go down f

Sounds like the type of creep that naturally occurs after a company has existed for a long time. They offer higher level titles so they can recruit people with experience who want a move upwards when really all that changes is their title.

It is upsetting to some because some people assume a resource can't have feelings. Like saying "women are objects." Obviously this isn't what is meant with Human Resources but in today's world people want to argue

Most games are free copies of other popular full games and most use copyrighted music in them. I'm surprised they haven't had a big copyright crackdown. As far as I know only the pokemon roblox game was shutdown due to copyright.

I think you see why her parents locked down the access. She was probably failing high school and the lockdown at least got her into college.
