The money and time to pursue any passion or hobby they wish, or simply travel and enjoy the world's leisures. They can run a small company, never worrying about profits to survive because their interest will keep them afloat.

And instead of delegating or relaxing or honing a talent, they still have this need to pretend they are a craftmen and waste everyone's time, instead of playing Factorio or Stardew Valley or X Simulator like the rest of us plebs do to scratch that itch. What a waste.

It's both maddening, but at the same time, such people are usually more eager to pay asking prices and doing the jobs is easier, so I just do them.

Getting to design a kind of fun home-automation project, actually, since he decided not to just go with a more-expensive all in one system and keeps piecemealing it, and now he can't figure it out, so I'm doing it all.

A CEO is a worker incentivized to maximize profits to maximize compensation. And nowadays they see other workers not as a profit center, but as a blockage to their next big payout.

So yes, it is a problem when leadership doesn't have long term aspirations for the large company.

Stable income and employment feels like a distant 4th nowadays. Nothing feels stable.

Let me nitpick the nitpick: we're in an attention economy and it's all to easy to have something salient dismissed with TLDR/TLDW. A more cursory glance that makes it easier to ease into a concept is more important than the subject matter expert making an ironclad argument that no one reads.

In the context of the internet forum, that was an appropriate video to post.

> I think that is the entire point that they were making. Entertaining, but not informative. Fun, but not well-argued.

You're welcome.

The Game Developers Conference report takenn in March reported noted 74% of students felt their careers were at risk. To paraphrase:

> 74% of students who answered feel their future in this industry is at risk. The top fears were no entry level jobs, laid off seniors competing for the same jobs they're going for, and AI displacement.

There is so much anxiety for the future of society and it's a real shame this seems to be going on ignored.

less ethics and more accountability. But a public audit committee is more than welcome to join in as well.

And now they just block you on first approach. Mission accomplished.

Oh well, now we have AI girlfriends as the next trillion dollar industry. We'll get it next time!

Have all the greatest tragedies started from one guy feeling rejected?

Boxer Rebellion, etc.

Good, let them leave, then. I'm tired of this excuse of "but the parasites are crucial to our way of life". As if the invisible hand won't have dozens of other companies to compete and fill the void should the monopoly man walk away with his money.

They've had decades to move to Dubai or New Zealand or whatever other magical country doesn't tax its residents. I wonder why they choose to stay in one of the richest countries in the world instead?

My point is they can still influence the US even if they / their money isn’t there.

Do you really live in that much of a US-centric bubble where you don’t realise outside influence exists?

>they can still influence the US even if they / their money isn’t there.

Sure, but I wager not being in the US means less money. And thus less influence

> Do you really live in that much of a US-centric bubble where you don’t realise outside influence exists?

Adding any friction to their influence is a good thing, in my eyes.

No, your trillion dollar company invests all its money in offshore companies which just happen to be owned or controlled by you.

Cool, more american companies to invest in.

You realize that there is no sort of outsized influence we couldn't declare illegal?

I’m not sure you know how the world works lol.

I do we are discussing whether the problem is theoretically solveable not whether it would be politically possible.

So in layman’s terms, you haven’t solved the problem.

Dodge v. Ford was both a landmark case and a very narrow excuse that holds no jurisdiction outside of Massachusetts. I hope someone challenges it one day, but it seems like any potential challengers benefit from pretending it's precedent.

High captial tax rates, strong labor protections, and banned stock buybacks as a start. So much hubub over "make america great again" but we seem very coy about looking at fiscal policy back in the "great" days.

And I don't even think these are the best ideas. But they have "a proven track record".
