Yeah businesses are run by people, and people often make poor decisions. And it's usually impossible to judge the wisdom of decisions until long after they are made.

My employer is generous, and I think they treat the employees well. So that seems like a good business practice. But it might be the case that they're overly generous such that eventually they have some financial hardship. Maybe a competitor arises that spends less on payroll and employee benefits and takes over our market and makes me unemployed. It could happen, or it might not.

I guess the bottom line for me is that I disagreed with the headline. I've mostly always worked in tech companies for decades now, Maybe I've been fortunate but I've generally found all my employers to be decent and honest. They're just people, same as any other kind of job. And my compensation has always seemed fair and competitive.

Every job expects the employees to do certain tasks, that's why they hire people. Are you telling me you have a job where you do whatever the fuck you want and somebody pays you?

Well, you're probably right. I don't have that kind of friend relationship with my manager. But then I don't really want that kind of relationship with my manager either. I work to get paid, not banter.

As if the forklift jobs fare any better.

Da fuq are you talking about? Equity packages that vest over time are incredibly common. These employers don't hire people with the intent to cheat them out of their stock option. It's not even really a possibility because as you said they vest over time. Even if they fired you after a year you're still going to get one year's worth of the stock offering.

By your own admission you've never worked for one of these companies, but you know that everyone who does is an npc? You're the fucking npc, clown. Keep driving that forklift in the warehouse and feeling superior.

Starting to think we'd be better off with the chinkers running things. They'd do a better job than the blue haired tranny brigade.

It is possible to mitigate a lot of risks by building appropriately. Like I've seen houses built in places at risk of floods where much of the first floor of the building is designed to blow away while the upper stories are supported on pilings. People in fire areas can keep the area around their house clear of fuel, and build their roofs out of non-flammable material. Skyscrapers in earthquake zones are built on shock absorbers and have inertia dampeners.

Not entirely wrong. People should build to standards appropriate for local hazards. Course that applies equally to fire and earthquake hazards.

Makes me wonder why thing was built in the baltic sea at all. Was that considered safer than putting it in populated areas?

Why is the ship's lookout posted on the top of the mainmast? Why does he see land before the guys on deck?

My employer is offering $3k referral bonuses but I don't know anyone to refer.

This is not a true headline. Amazon may host part of CIA's data processing, but they don't do everything. I have direct knowledge of this.

Voting democrats out isn't enough. They must be purged from society.

Some different dynamics from 2008. Back then mortgages were being given out to anyone without any regard to their income or expectation of ability to pay back the loan. Ninja loans; no income, no job, no assets. Teaser rate mortgages given out on the assumption that always increasing property values would make it possible to refinance forever.

Inflation is not a huge concern for me. Nor is falling property values. I've got a job so I can expect my salary to somewhat offset inflation. Money getting cheaper means it's easier for me to pay off my mortgage. I've got a fixed rate mortgage so my monthly housing costs aren't inflating. It doesn't really matter if I'm underwater on the loan unless I'm forced to sell the property due to unemployment.

The price of property will keep increasing as long as there is demand and money to support the prices. And there's a lot of money sloshing around. I saw estimates of up to $500 billion just in covid related stimulus fraud. All those billions thrown away on stupid college degrees. That's a lot of faggoty college professors sporting $300k salaries. They can afford a lot of house. That street shitter censorship corporate lawyer of twitter making $17 million per year. She ain't worried about paying a million for a house.

Shut the fuck up pussy. Why aren't you over there fighting instead of running your mouth on the internet?
