Ban non-compete. Impose steep taxes on companies earning American profits with less than 95% American labor.

It was politicized because the hall monitors and moral busybodies (we all remember who they were and what they were like before the pandemic too) tried to force people to pick between getting it or starving.

Covid restrictions were significantly worse in the EU than USA, your government locked you all down and made it clear that they decide who works and who doesn’t. To be clear, the USA has some awful cities with those types of ideas too but i

Are you actually open to being convinced or are you going to justify every example of those governments compelling and controlling speech?

Canada and the EU certainly don’t care about free speech.

EU continues its descent into an authoritarian surveillance state. I hope all the EU netizens wake up and realize how much more control the EU has been exerting over its citizens since the pandemic.

This is why the tyrants would go a step further to try to ban private education so that you can only be educated by a state. They openly say this is what they want. It is very interesting how their worldview is claimed to be better yet it c

Progressive left are liars and should not be trusted. Their actions are opposite of their words. We need to vote in people who have and use their brains, instead of activists and idealogues. Otherwise the entire nation will collapse. Johnso

Nothing wrong with being a married housewife. It’s callous to write with a connotation that suggests there is. In fact the best argument is that children need and should have their mother around as much as possible especially in their forma

If they as a culture are no longer willing or able to reproduce, this means they have had their time under the sun. This technology is evil and will lead to immense evil. It is an abomination.

Doing it at the family level or between neighbors who like each other and agree to share from victory gardens and greenhouses and personal farms is much different than what the parent proposed. Multi-generational family compounds are an awe

It’s unfortunate that a communist dictator was toppled and killed? Did you ever bother to look into why that happened and all the evils he did? We shouldn’t be borrowing from a dead communist dictator’s playbook. Clearly it didn’t work out

Source that this is the norm in Germany? How many Germans do you know who do this and how did you conclude that the sample is indicative of the broader population? How expensive is food in Germany that people have no independence to buy and

It’s just a weasel wording to say “lots.” How many and where did you get your number from? How many of those are using a designated sitting area to eat food they brought from home? And if you think something is a good change, make it for yo

So you want people to eat only when and where and what the state says you can eat??? The vast majority of people don’t want to choose your wet dream when they have the choice between their own private house versus a local canteen on a sched

Where do you draw the line? Did you see how Australia was dealing with it? They stopped being a democracy once their politicians got a taste of the immense and inordinate new powers to control the average person. This happened in the United

The most likely outcome is that the majority of jobs will not be allowed to discriminate on the basis of someone's covid information. I predict it will be a new protected class soon, especially seeing as one can demonstrate equivalent

We shouldn't forget. We should know who kept advocating for lockdowns, masking, and unnecessary covid vaccinations. They should be asked why, when the data was clear even a couple years ago.

For the open-minded people who were paying attention, yes, for a while now. But for the hall monitors in the back? Not really...or maybe they were just being willfully ignorant? I'm glad there's more evidence coming along so the h

What I'm saying is that they already do it and already have access to enough information to know who is making the most of a rabbit hole and who is not. Code commit frequency is sufficient in itself.

Nobody is putting down people who don't like remote work. People are putting down the people who are telling other people why remote work is bad. Those people are trying to take it away. Go work in an office or find a place that is ons

That can be measured by frequency of code commits. You can tell which juniors are making the most of a rabbit hole and becoming better versus which ones are mindlessly surfing because they don't want to think. The first group will have

Remote work requires more direct and straightforward communication. Ideally in writing only because then there's no bullshit happening off-the-record in calls where people are clearly just wasting time or trying to annoy other people w

This is just a description of your lack of discipline. Since the pandemic, I lost a significant amount of weight and increased my fitness across all other parameters as well. This is because remote work facilitated that. If you need to work

Indeed. There may be a toxic or stupid management culture at that company if they're worried about someone going down a rabbit hole to learn. In my experience this is usually in teams that are run by people who don't have technica

The juniors will have to read documentation and spend long hours writing and reading code and understanding what has already been built. Just like all of us who did that and had to do it in order to move up. The idea of spending time "
