> You can tax air travel to encourage travel by other means where applicable. This would never happen in America because it would require Americans addressing their views on transit and addressing their pitiful consumer rail or even cons

I think a better way to phrase what the parent is saying is that Leetcode is not software engineering. You can be awful at solving leetcodes and still be a great software engineer. Now, do I think algorithms and data structures make people

I mean of the current tech monopolies(Amazon, Google, etc), Amazon should take priority as the first company among them that needs antitrust lawsuits filed against them and broken up.

This is the big one here. Amazon has a completely unrelated market dominate business that lets them enter new markets at a loss until they crush everyone currently in that market. Amazon is honestly the first company that needs to be broken

Vermillion is absolutely "Big Oil." They are an oil and gas company that make several billion a year. If you don't consider that "big" I don't know what is.

I worked a 4 day work week at one point. My counterargument to this is that most people aren't productive as they think they are. I feel like most people only actually work half the time they say they do. When I was working 4 days I go
