I'm fine with that, it just sounds like these people think they can commodify that kind of dedication in exchange for much less than what you got creating your own.

Yeah, I'd rather pay for clear-minded hours of a worker, rather than near-burnout hours. But the guy doesn't care, he's trying to compete by saving in wages...at the frontline of tech. It makes no sense either way.

What I don't get is...they can just hire more people to do the work and expand the company? When you consider this, you realize that they're just asking people to work 40% more without an increase in pay (hence hiring more people is not an option)...then they call it "productivity gains".

Democratic market socialism is a perfectly moderate ideology (too moderate, because often it lets the market win over and the democracy decay). You can also consider weekends, paid leave, women's vote, public education, healthcare, public media and social security as socialist policies. It is one of the main political currents founding the EU and in South America. Only in the US is it used to describe radicals or as an insult.

I'm even reluctant to point this out to magats now, because they never get the point and may even get it in their head that these are the things to destroy wherever they exist, just because they're socialist in origin.

Well, this is where specific targetted protectionist policies can work, provided they are used just to buy time to catch up, deploy industrial policy, subsidies, to differentiate and for RnD and not just to bury your head in the sand and keep making expensive shit products.

No time or money to have kids and when you manage to have them, you don't know them...then insist on why social policies need to be curtailed to increase productivity even more.

If .ml were a lefty echo chamber people wouldn't hate hexbear, but they do.

The EU used to do some pushing by setting regulation standards and consumer protection, but now the tech companies ran to tramp asking him to save them from any regulation anywhere in the world.

Yeah, dollar reserves have lost about 11% this year. https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/TVC-DXY/?timeframe=60M

In 64, yes. In the last election, no. Biden expressly told Bolsonaro's toadies to go fuck themselves with their coup. Hopefully, Brazil has had time to set up protections against the US gov meddling from now until their next election.
