Which religious groups specifically are pushing for this and where? I want to know so I can call them out when I see it.

What is the purpose of a business though? To make profits for its owners. If the profit lies in doing all this corporate theater then that's the business. A company that focuses only on providing a service and product but ignores how their customer needs to use said service and product is going to go out of business.

If the purpose of every business were making profits every business would be a hedge fund (at which point there could be no hedge funds, but that's a separate issue). Profits are a necessary component of a businesses's activities, but not its purpose.

That is "a" purpose of a business, but not the primary purpose. The primary purpose of business is to provide a service or product people want. You can want profits all day long but if you don't have something people want you don't have a business.

I would argue that profits are a result of what you do and not the purpose... Obviously intertwined but that's why its important to pick something you like

Sounds like the voice actors from Critical Role but I just came off of watching 48 hours of Campaign 3 so I'm probably imagining things.

Japanese Americans have a slightly higher life expectancy in the US (87 years) vs Japanese living in Japan (85 years).

You still need the same FDA approval and process to sell it in the US

Cost cut them. You think the administration won't take a bribe at that point?

If they're handing you broken code call them out on it. Say this doesn't do what it says it does, did you want me to create a story for redoing all this work?


There's 2 axes on the political spectrum. Economic and Social axes. Liberal and Conservative is one dimension (Economic) and Authoritarian and Libertarian is another dimension (Social).

In the US both the Democratic Party (Liberal) and Republican Party (Conservatives) are considered Authoritarian on this 2 dimensional graph.

Milei claims to be a Conservative Libertarian so, in theory, he should be opposed to this. We'll see what he actually does.


There are almost infinite axes. We can do a principal component analysis to find the most important 2.

>Milei claims to be a Conservative Libertarian so, in theory, he should be opposed to this. We'll see what he actually does.

That's just for the gullible. In practice he's about power and self-serving interests, just like any "libertarian" in office.


This is missing a lot of data. Companies that I know for a fact are doing mass tech layoffs are not listed here.

Then please do add your data through the submission form.

I'm sure some underreporting occurs, but what evidence is there that underreporting is worse this year than last year or the year before?


Huh? I don't see a login. All the code examples and set up instructions are available to anyone visiting the page.


The rich don't tend to have much income to tax (proportionally). The bulk of their wealth increase per year comes from capital gains.

Washington also has a capital gains tax now, 7% on long-term capital gains above $270k, and 9.9% on gains above $1 million, exempting real estate and retirement accounts.
