It seems like you are suggesting the government can restrain speech and then, if the people disagree that the government, that they then can sue the government to allow it. I don't want to live in the world you suggest. This right here

In general, when someone suggests the only solution to "too much free speech" is for people to be filtered, I say "You first."

I think we can agree to disagree. People can respect you as a person, but no I don't think people have to respect different viewpoints. I can respect that you have a lived experience that differs from mine and that your viewpoint is X

I'm sorry but did you just say that democracy only works if we have censorship?

Courts exist to make people whole. The court decided the executive branch didn't have the right to fire the workers. Because of that, the workers lost their jobs, insurance, and pay. How else would you suggest the court make them whol

Don't be purposefully obtuse - its not helpful to anyone and just makes you look like a troll. Germany did not want to produce oil/gas locally due to concerns about environmental impact. Instead, they decided to import it from Ru

You seem to have become mistaken - I am talking about a companies fiduciary duty to shareholder and maximizing long term shareholder value. You are talking about popular sentiment.

... The 2022/2023 winter in Europe and the balkans should help solidify that in your mind. Germany lost its pipeline to Russia where it was sourcing its natural gas because they did not want to produce it locally. This directly cause

True. They are private companies, not Public. I am fine with this.

You know I never checked. I mean it seems obvious it would but I don’t recall seeing a study. Honestly though a study like that may be banned from most research houses as it can fall into a bad spot. What happens if the study found it did

Let’s fast forward in financial regulation knowledge with a question perhaps. Why do you think the sec had to require that directors and executives have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders? Why are executives fined and jailed when t

Arguments aside, completely unrelated to substance, that’s a scary looking link. What were you trying to link to? I enjoy conversing about the substance of arguments but I’m not clicking that. Any help?

I am happy that, in the US at least, the current legal climate does not agree with you. In some countries, I have seen what you are saying becoming more and more pronounced. In Western Europe, specifically, you are seeing it. I imagine the

You should know that an appeal to follow ESG practices is likely to be found illegal right? I know references and facts arn't as fun as emotional pleas and comparing investing for financial growth to cancer... but lets try it anyway? &

I would like to see not the 'free market' dictate how it happens - I would like to see companies that harm their investors end with their ceo/cfos perp walked out and arrested. I want to see companies remember they have a fid

The point of companies are to make money. As a shareholder in a company, I want to see increased valuations, good free cash flow metrics, and an increasing dividend. The article is right in a way - ESG is infecting companies. I do not want

Since you asked, I am positive I am older than you are. I absolutely believe an 18 year old is an adult and they have their own free will and capacity to make decisions. They are not a puppet worked by the heavens. That said - I think we a

Great example - shows that government enforcement of free speech requirements work. I wonder, if this was proposed today, if it would have passed.

You are right. The most likely reason almost all of hackernews wants to do nothing but make fun of crypto and the people involved is they just don't understand it. If only they invested the 100+ hours learning it like we did then maybe
