Business, Economics, and Taxes: Eat Cereal for Dinner

That said, have you ever looked at GDP per capita? We're like nearly double that of Germany and the UK. So while I agree in principle with what you're saying, we would probably have a change in terms of lifestyle should we change too drastically, too quickly.

but our goal should be to match the benefits and W/L balance of Europe.

edit: which isn't to say GDP/C is a perfect metric. But it's still useful in this context.

I mean handy covered a lot of this…but I’ve lived in two European nations. The exact two you called out, actually. Lived, not vacationed. You don’t need as much money. There’s virtually no education debt. No healthcare bankruptcies. No 70k giant SUVs or trucks

you get 8-12 weeks of pto and people are just fucking happier.

yeah my boyfriend left me all the time because he legally had to be off- meanwhile they shipped in Americans like me to work like dogs since the euros were protected.

I’d go back in a nanosecond. The only thing I hate is the lack of ac

GDP honestly just seems like a misery index at times
 
Can add here too….. driving to golf courses this week and trumble past factory after factory after warehouse of stuff being built.

reminds mookie of one of the greatest films every made how bulworth asks Halle berry why they ain’t no black leaders anymore. Halle responds that there no longer longer factories in the inner city. They all left for cheaper labor and all the employed leaders vanished with them. There is a lot to that theory.

Remote work is an existential threat to mid-level management.

It is, often. But I'm mid-level management and have only ever been in management in a remote environment (promoted very early in Covid).

It isn't hard. Regular check-ins, both in the form of actual meetings and informal chats, help. "Is the work getting done?" "Are people attending meetings?" "Are people responsive to the myriad ways of communicating?"
 
16x champion Joey Chestnut has been banned from the 2024 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest after he signed an endorsement contract with Impossible Foods.

So is anyone else confused about this?

I’m confused why Joey would do this. His notoriety to Americans/world because of being in a contest sponsored by Nathan’s, but he signed an endorsement deal with another brand of food that can only be seen as a competitor for Nathan’s.

Right but like... now no one will want to watch because the only reason to watch is sidelined because of a stupid *ahem* beef

so congrats Nathan's?

I mean I’m confused on why Joey did this in the first place. He has to be taking years off his life
 
Looking at it purely from a performance perspective, sure he hit his targets. However, the stock has since tanked due to his own egotistical and erratic decisions, not to mention serious rumors of drug use.

Not to mention the inferior quality of the product.

If they give him that money, which technically they should, Tesla will be worthless within 5 years. Not out of business, but mostly a shadow.
 
The other issue is that quite a few of the folks who rubberstamped the package are overly close to/friendly with Musk. Granted, that's likely the case with a lot of major corps who have given their C-suiters unethical levels of comp, but $56b is pretty egregious and it's easy to see why any independent/objective major shareholder would be pi55ed given everything that has transpired since 2021.
 
Speaking of Musk, he just updated Xitter to make 'Likes' private, so feel free to like all the pro-fascism and pr0n posts you want to - only Xitter and their data analytics team will know.
