Regulations raise standards on average. I would never advocate for less if it means compromising on quality.
“Excessive regulations” just sounds like code for “we’d rather be lazy and cut corners and let someone else take responsibility for our waste”.
Yeah, no thanks.
Before Elon Musk brought Twitter:
The comment section of the video is gold. My dad work in a government job & this was pretty much his day.
Wasn’t there also a video where an undercover expose an employee that said he work 2-4 hours a day & its normal, & there were people in Twitter that work even less. Also that they can take off for long period if they just not feel like working or something like that.
There are a lot of Bloat in tech & some government work. Many friends that used to work in private sectors verified how slack goverment sectors when he moved. In case of government work, its understandable, since they do not need to worry about actually earning money.
For tech, when days are good, many like google & Twitter just giving out jobs & useless jobs titles & paid themselves outrage salaries, with no care of running like a profitable business. I heard that in Twitter there are 9 managers to one programer. Lol
My friend told me in India, they had 500 twitter employees. They fired all & left 5.
Everything still runs.
I do feel for hardworking people who lost work, but I cannot say for people like the one in the video above.
My point.
Well of course, your system is great if your money supply is endless, you get right to the front of the line.
That whole thing actually does make me sad. The company is so meme now. Also many gaming companies I’m a fan of used Twitter to post news there before anywhere else. Some of them stopped using Twitter.
Yeah…considering that Elon Musk fired more than half of Twitter’s employees and Twitter still runs so smoothly till today really shows that the company doesn’t really need that many workers in the first place.
My sources of news and gaming updates from Twitter are still old same.
This is highly questionable. Twitter is not as good anymore. Plus many companies either stopped using it or do not use it as much. They lost a lot of their top advertisers. If you’re fine and used to “bare bones” then yes, it’s just fine.
And this brings us to a every interesting point. Imagine, for a moment, that your child is dying and has a short time window for an expensive medical treatment. Would you rather be in a country where you could borrow as much as you could and get “in front of the line” or would you rather be in a country where you have to accept the decision, made by others, that your child doesn’t qualify?
My country lets urgent patients jump the line, regardless of monetary means. What gets to wait are the non essential things, cosmetics and the like. Given that there are two equally urgent cases and the one I’m related to is second place, would I pay if I had the option, for sure, do I think that’s a good system where money decides? Hell no. I wouldn’t switch for anything.
Same as I don’t think revenge should be legal in the slightest, I would still hurt anyone that hurts those close to me though. Personal feelings are not a good measuring stick for systematic questions.
This one I agree with, and it should indeed be fairly easy to hire and fire. Which it can still be with labor laws, unions etc.
As for B, expensive workers is a very relative thing. If they are more expensive because they are better, more reliable, productive etc. that added cost might pay for itself over and over.
Besides, the one thing that primarily drives demand for workers is the demand for goods produced by those workers. Higher wages for workers will increase demand for some goods. And sure, make it unviable to produce other goods unless you can automate the proces.
That does not follow.
Yeah, tying jobs to health care benefits is honestly one of the most absurd constructions around. Just a bad idea. Seems like it might be one thing most people could actually agree on.
Working from time to time does not have to require a low tier job. Very few people choose a low tier job because that is what they desire, they choose it because that is what they can get.
Countries with higher minimum wages have lower/same unemployment as others. As well as jobs with higher and lower skill and stress requirements. Things are rarely simple and binary.
While creating other jobs that will be beneficial and keep people gainfully employed.
Sure, another thing that probably everyone can agree on, outside the most extremist libertarians.
People just wont agree when regulations are excessive.
The compliance can increase the wellbeing of society. The jobs might not, but until you can automate that too, one is needed for the other.
Whereas trying to have compliance for seat belts, or toxic fumes from cars, very well can increase both the well being of society, and generate wealth (since, just like in gaming, where dead players do no DPS, dead humans generate very little wealth - albeit there are some exceptions to that of course).
Since “borrowing as much as you could” likely wouldn’t be anywhere near enough for most people, that should be a pretty easy choice for the vast majority.
Do I want to get health care 99.9999% of the time, at the “cost” of having a hard time to get health care 0.000001% of the time, or do I want to just have a hard time to get healthcare 100% of the time. What do I pick… 
Thank Jeebus for Obamacare! 
Doesn’t seem like there is much to be thankful for there 
Still the same basic construction.
Some Not Good News:
I hope most of these people manage to leave the company soon. ATVI should pay for an empty shell of a company name.
I wonder what he meant by “personal attack”.
LOL, Twitter can die, which will be a piece of good news as it has always been a cesspool.
But come on, stop pretending it’s worse than before in terms of operation. All the ad lost will be easily offset by the bloatedness of the employee paid & benefits that were cut, as well as the paid checkmarks.
Like Elon or not, you don’t become a self-made billionaire & one of the richest men by being incompetent unlike career politicians where people still continue to vote blindly for them when their city/states are being run-down, & nothing improved except their “elected” “leaders” bank balances.
They will replace them with people from India or Southeast Asia, with H1B visa (like most of tech) or just have studios there. They are probably more hardworking, better programmers, complain less, more willing to work long hours.
India produces software engineers like a factory. My Indian friend told me that Indian engineers are better than Local ones (in general), & I have to say I believe him.
All they need is to keep the creative people and managers. I am just pointing out the reality.
Unfortunately, we can agree on this sad stance.
Don’t have to be incompetent to be an idiot. There are idiot streamers who became rich because we have so many naive people out there gullible enough to give them free money for being spastic. This decade, you don’t have to be smart to be rich or succeed.
Sure, you can be successful by being one trick pony like many sports people, useless politicians, or blessed with a good gene & exploiting simps on Onlyfans.
But not running major businesses.
Sure you can. Ever heard of Elo… wait.
Yeah, respect to you. I think he’s an idiot and given far more credit that he deserves.
By all means, think what you want of Elon. I do not own Tesla or Twitter stock or care what people think of certain popular/unpopular people I never met before.
It appears they have indeed @@@@ed around and have thereafter found out.
