Doesn't seem too unreasonable for people who have highly in-demand skills that are unable to be satisfied by the domestic workforce.

And I'm saying you can. Splitting up articles is pretty equivalent to watering down beer or making smaller candy bars or selling apples in quarters for the purpose of this.

> The thing about that, is that a lot of farmers own their farms. It takes many years to create a new orchard and there's only so much land suitable for the purpose. I don't know why you say that is the thing about that, or wha

Yes, banish the thought a government might from time to time fail to act in the best interests of its citizens.

A farmer could also sell their apples cut in progressively smaller pieces. Produce worse articles, get less money and customers for them.

That's not the point I'm making and I have to say it's pretty outlandish if it seems that way to you. The point I'm making is that it's not because an organization is "not ready" that remote work is not pe

And there's nothing that's particularly prohibitive about doing that remotely. You can't just call a bunch of dot points like "on boarding" refuting what I wrote. Sure it's what you might read in your CEO'

Lots does. I work for a company that among other things makes leading edge ASICs. The tools and probes and things required to test and handle wafers and the chips that come back from packaging can't be sent to peoples' houses. Som

Most IT and engineering (and probably other "IP based") companies are "remote ready" for the right person. It's not some vast change or investment they have to make, really. You use the laptop they give you and conn

The far bigger real world harm is new age snake oil peddlers telling people they are too fragile and weak to be happy so long as there are others out there thinking and saying mean things.

Struck a nerve, eh? Interesting. What do you do then?

No, not because that.

Well, the commoners will. The more virtuous and tolerant and rich among us will still get to fly their private jets and luxury yachts around to climate conferences. For the greater good.

Might also be a case of envy and sour gapes, and not reflect all that well on the Europeans saying that. This thread is full of people claiming Europeans are not boastful or self-promoting, which is pretty strange to me because the internet

I did suspect you lacked the capacity to substantiate your claims with evidence. Pathetic.

"FSD" is not a comparable issue, and handwaving "myriads of other problems" doesn't cut it, sorry. Welcome to try again if you'd like.

All that cheap garbage does not weigh 900lbs or cost $10k, and they'd probably call it race trim and charge you more for it.

Link suggests that is because the cloud is already rotating due to "gravitational shearing in the galaxy's disk", not because it is uneven.
