Whether VR works for Meta or not, they have invested in technology and built careers for employees. This is why we should have corporate taxes. I'd rather see corporations keep employees and advance technology instead of giving dividends to the wealthiest people in the world. While the product might not work out, I bet there are many people who worked on it that will take those skills to new projects.
I can't watch much of his content because it is just like any other grind culture, serial entrepreneur angle. He was running a company, I think its a marketing consulting firm or something like that. He stepped away from the business which can be run by other people but he felt he could've grown it more if he stayed active. I think he's basically up the ladder of a entrepreneur pyramid scheme.
And I agree with your quality of life comment. It is a shame that he stays so committed to serial entrepreneurship as an overall positive thing for everybody. He said one person was inspired by his optimism and work that the viewer was inspired to work on a business and it saved his life. So one person was helped by this project and the millionaire was very touched. I would have hoped saw that quality time with family is more important regardless of your wealth. And he could've also realized that people are generous by nature and that we should take care of each other more than trying to accumulate wealth and grow a business with no motivation outside of the accumulation of wealth.
I don't think they claimed they were greedy because they were Indian. I think it is more of a question on why the Indian people who have been successful in tech are implementing the profit motive policies and what overlapping culture we share with India that would lead people to that capitalistic goal of profits over product. Isn't that something worth exploring? I think it already has led to an educational discussion where one commentor mentioned the history of worker actions in India.
I'm watching this guys youtube video explaining his side and his rebuttal is actually very simple. In his expirement, he did not say anything about being homeless and he never said that you can earn a million dollars in one year. His goal was to have a template showing how to build a business. I still think he didn't learn anything. He is just a super entrepreneurial guy who thinks that he is helping people by encouraging them to start a business and that grind culture can give you a better life. He seems to not want to look above his own place in our system and encourage any substantive change in the social safety net of the US. I'm glad he realized that being a good son, when his dad is dying of cancer, is more important than being a hustler. But he doesn't seem to have internalized the idea that being a good human is more important than being a hustler on a normal day.
Yes. We should work on raising everyones standard of living instead of thinking only millionaires get these benefits. The goal should not be for everyone to havea million dollars. The individualistic premise that he uses is flawed from the beginning.
Companies catering to the wealthy is already happening. The richest man in the world, Bernard Arnault, sells luxury goods. It used to be that selling products to the most amount of people was better, Ford, oil barrons, even Wal-Mart. Now money is made selling products to the wealthy. The growth in inequality of the last 50 years shows up in many ways today. Housing sizes are larger because builders need to sell to the wealthy instead of to the masses where margins on modest sized homes are smaller or non-existent.
China needs to move away from coal. This would be a huge change in global emissions.
Biden started the momentum for capping late fees over a year ago. He mentioned it in his State of the Union address. This is just how government works. I don't think having some progress made in March of an election year after initiating desire to make progress over a year ago is scaps on the floor. It is competent governing.
There are a lot of big things that would be celebrated if our media covered it differently and if Biden was as self-aggrandizing as Trump.
But the little things are really what make me want to vote for Biden again. This is competent governing. In my field, I've seen how the little things lead to big things. Like the approval of off shore wind farms that were stalled under Trump are now approved and constructed leading to the first utility scale offshore wind farm in the US. A huge accomplishment from one little approval.
I grew up in a town where the factory closed and poverty grew. More poverty than most of the red voters will ever see. This made me move so far left and I don't understand how seeing these things happen makes people want to vote for Trump. The lack of having a voice is partly on people in rural areas and this is a tantrum for not having made their voice known as more and more detrimental things happened. The busiest store in my home town is Wal-Mart. People love Wal-Mart. The food co-op that provides local farmers a place to sell their produce is frequented by the left leaning types. In my view, the voice that is that the right wing does not care about helping their community through any kind of sacrifice. Ease and convenience are king. Cheapest cost is best, regardless of what sweatshop clothing was made in and what underpaid illegal immigrant picked their produce. And, they vote for a party who wants to remove regulations so worse and worse corporate actions can provide cheaper goods lining the pockets of billionaire owners.
The factory that closed moved to North Carolina and then overseas. The people that live in the small town now vote for tax breaks for the owners of that factory and vote for the party that villifies ebt, welfare and programs that help their neighbor. They think people are lazy who use these programs, not that they have experienced the loss of economic activity they have seen. If this factory, which was profitable but not at a high enough margin for the owners, were owned by the workers, it may still be operating today. This is my conclusion in seeing what the Cracked article discusses. Corporate greed has done damage to communities and the ability to give more power to workers is better than voting for some con-man who gives tax breaks to the rich. How could hard working Americans look at Shawn Fain and think his view is dispicable and think that what Trump has to say is better?
"ADF is not hiding its strategy. Alito, on the other hand, keeps to the stealthy shadows, attempting to advance arguments that promote fetal personhood while simultaneously insisting that this unprecedented expansion of personhood rights won’t come at the expense of women’s lives and autonomy. It’s a deception of the highest order and onlookers might be left to conclude that he either thinks we’re all too dumb to notice—or that he knows nothing can stop the 6-3 court from doing what it wants."
Idaho is in real trouble after their abortion ban. They are already flying people out of state for medical care. I feel sorry for all the people needlessly suffering from the right wing agenda. Especially the liberals in red states who will live with deteriorating healthcare, and the societal impact of no legal access to abortion.
