  • Right?

    Let there be no mistake, it’s not about talent so much as it is about keeping wages low. Many tech companies do this explicitly, especially since interest rates rose and investing money stopped being free.

    Anecdotally, I was at a company and was instructed not to hire in the US. I could choose Montréal, a few countries in Europe, or Isreal.

    US was off limits, not enough budget.










  • True, and I mean, a lot of that seems to come from how we’ve handled politics in the past affecting the now. Media companies are incentivised by controversy, and everyone’s opinion needs to be heard just to generate content.

    It’ll be interesting to see how this and other worldly things change as cable news continues to die.

    As an aside, it’s also funny how everyone apparently forgot all the BS Trump was doing or involved in over the four years he was in office. I remember it always being something, you know? Scandal or stupid decisions every week. I mean even know, they’re calling for a door to door military search of American households like we did in Iraq and Afghanistan. Police can barely pull over Tyreek Hill without yanking him out of his car and screaming. People can’t see the writing on the wall on how much violence would happen from something so massively invasive? Doesn’t sound like freedom to me.

    OK I’ll get off my box lol.
