  • A reasonable response with worries we also share. Thanks for that.

    I’m from Europe and don’t understand why this should not just be resolved with taxes on the companies.

    The record profits of the companies are in my vision because the company does not have to do anything for the healthcare and pensions. So if the company does not have to care for it, but society requires it, this is where the government needs to act. Tax the companies and arrange healthcare and retirement stipends. This solves one issue by solving the other, allowing the company to keep doing what it’s doing without having to think about healthcare… that has been resolved.

    Individuals then have retirement benefits and can use private retirement insurance to supplement this.




  • A few hundred losing their jobs is kinda misrepresenting the situation isn’t it. If you keep seeing each company by itself in terms of firings but then group the market as a whole in terms of people with money in the market.

    It’s either a few thousand with money in the company vs the people fired from that company… Or the market vs all people fired in the market during these waves.

    Plus… when you are one of the fired people the impact can be deeply impactful, in the US even as far as having no health insurance. While less profit does not have such an impact.





  • That was the risk of remaining on the platform the moment musk took over. And if not then, when he started stripping it down and making it less reliable. And if not then, maybe when he started pursuing shadow banning again.

    No government or news business has any business anymore being on Twitter. They should use the fedpub protocol and push out their messages there.

    This will allow their readers/citizens to use a broad scala of apps to read them, allows more 3rd party apps to integrate them.

    Governments and newspapers must hold the reigns over their own infra or risk this happening.
