Dude, the US based social media platforms are no better than TikTok. Its all rotten to the core. X is a great example of this.

The EC is not democracy.

Isn’t this just a variation of the usual “if x candidate wins, I’m moving to Canada” rhetoric? All talk, no walk?

They are retaining staff by paying more than most other companies, but they also have a reputation for running their workers into the ground by overworking them. Many burn out pretty quickly.

Big shout-out and thanks to the EU for being the only major political entity trying to actually make an effort.

100 years from now? This guy is delusional.

where do you get the money to support such a large population?

AI supporters would tell you that productivity improvements made with AI tech will make that possible.

Yet, unemployment in most of the western world is very low. That could change, of course. We’ll likely need universal basic income down the road. Or at least some very enhanced unemployment benefits.

Starbucks disputed the allegations and told Fortune that customers can pay for their orders with whatever balance is left on their app or gift card and pay the remaining amount in cash at the store, thus reaching a zero balance.

So, this is not true? What’s the actual truth to this functionality?

No society should accept billionaires. There are so many other people who are in dire need. It makes zero difference if they have a billion or a 100 million.

Those subscribers were notified in July about the change. This is just a story about it taking effect in a few weeks.

Yeah, all that universal healthcare, parental leave, universal college, vacation time, etc., etc. is just the worst. Such lousy standard of living.

Not to mention the lack of school shootings. Who wants that?

The US has the worst labor market regulation of any Western country. Extremely pathetic.

Some people just look better without hair.

I hear ya. The problem with moving to a cheaper location with a remote job is that, if you lose that job, you’ll probably have to move again because there may not be any other jobs in that location other than another remote job.

Especially risky if you buy your home and will have to sell quickly.

To me, the biggest positive about remote work is that you don’t have to live in a crazy expensive location. That advantage is mostly gone with hybrid where you still have to come in every week.

Also, companies benefit from having employees in less expensive locales having lower salaries but still being able to pay more than what the employee would otherwise make in that location. Good way to retain talent.
