  • China aims to recruit top US scientists as Trump tries to kill the CHIPS Act

  • Some of the biggest hurdles I see are the double income tax and the fact that many Americans are used to a 30yr fixed rate mortgage which is profoundly not a thing in the rest of the world.

  • Companies issuing RTO mandates “lose their best talent”: Study

    Jump

  • In my experience, It's usually replacing employees in one region with people in an other who can do the same job with less pay. RTO is forced layoffs. They are trying to get you to quit so they can hire your replacement in a location with a cheaper cost of living. If your job can be done remotely than it can be done by someone else remotely unless you're very specialized or operationally critical.

  • Lol. Imagine making a reductive statement to a vastly complicated topic to try and sound smart only to reveal how little you understand. On the internet no less!

  • "The phrase "separation of church and state" does not appear in the Constitution. However, the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment prohibits the government from establishing a religion or interfering with the free exercise of religion."

    Jefferson letter:" I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."

    So they're very closely related but don't go around saying it's in the Constitution because it isn't.

  • Harris ad bashes Trump for criticizing Detroit

  • Very uneducated and dated opinion.

  • Harris ad bashes Trump for criticizing Detroit

    Jump

  • Even this is outdated!

    Detroit was getting better in like 2015 and was very nice to live in 2017.

    Today, 7 years later. It's objectively nice. Lots of old and forgotten buildings now hold nice restaurants, hotels, bars, stores, you name it.

    Its amazing what they've done and it only gets better each year.

  • Netflix's 'Don't Look Up' got $46 million from Massachusetts taxpayers.

    Jump

  • I love this comment because I learned something.

    From the article, "Supporters of such programs argue that they stimulate the economy: "The level of impact and the amount of benefits the film tax credit brings to Massachusetts is immeasurable, creating local jobs and boosting overall economic activity in our cities and towns," state House Speaker Ronald Mariano (D–Quincy) said in 2021 after the legislature voted to make the credits permanent."

    The fallacy:

    "Have you ever witnessed the anger of the good shopkeeper, James Goodfellow, when his careless son has happened to break a pane of glass? If you have been present at such a scene, you will most assuredly bear witness to the fact that every one of the spectators, were there even thirty of them, by common consent apparently, offered the unfortunate owner this invariable consolation – "It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. Everybody must live, and what would become of the glaziers if panes of glass were never broken?"

    Now, this form of condolence contains an entire theory, which it will be well to show up in this simple case, seeing that it is precisely the same as that which, unhappily, regulates the greater part of our economical institutions.

    Suppose it cost six francs to repair the damage, and you say that the accident brings six francs to the glazier's trade – that it encourages that trade to the amount of six francs – I grant it; I have not a word to say against it; you reason justly. The glazier comes, performs his task, receives his six francs, rubs his hands, and, in his heart, blesses the careless child. All this is that which is seen.

    But if, on the other hand, you come to the conclusion, as is too often the case, that it is a good thing to break windows, that it causes money to circulate, and that the encouragement of industry in general will be the result of it, you will oblige me to call out, "Stop there! Your theory is confined to that which is seen; it takes no account of that which is not seen."

    It is not seen that as our shopkeeper has spent six francs upon one thing, he cannot spend them upon another. It is not seen that if he had not had a window to replace, he would, perhaps, have replaced his old shoes, or added another book to his library. In short, he would have employed his six francs in some way, which this accident has prevented.[1] "

    The commentors point: This is a dumb excuse to spur the economy and if they want to do that there are better more direct and impactful ways to spend that money.
