  • Yup, unfortunately people don’t understand that policies only change the equilibrium, but sometimes take longer than electoral cycles to see effect.

    That’s why no party really gives a shit about bringing down the national debt, because twofold:

    • people hate you in your term because that’s less money being spent for their benefit now
    • the opposition can have more spending room to provide more benefits in their term, making them more popular.










  • Nobody is saying what they are doing is illegal. And complaining is what people do to vent, you don’t have to read it.

    It’s seems par the course for Amazon to just treat employees as disposable, and they’ve burned so many regions’ working populations’ proverbial bridges that I recall LTT highlighting an article saying Amazon can’t find people to employ because they’ve already cycled through everyone.

    Anecdotally, I’m suddenly getting recruiters from AWS asking to interview me, and it all makes sense now. They want to replace the remote workers with new people who don’t complain. Fuck that, and fuck them if they think people should be apathetic to this strategy.
