So would this mean that Disney can no longer use their massive legal department to crush fair use of their IP? If someone signs up for Disney+, the arbitration agreement goes both ways.
I would think a competent judge would just ask the Disney lawyer that question. Like, "do you want to be out of a job?"
Was just going to say that. Dude might have expanding head syndrome.
I mean, the look is actually good. Like the Nazis with their Hugo Boss uniforms. Criticize them for their actual problem: elitist animal cruelty. Boots and a little hat aren't really a problem. Let them show off the outfit and parade around.
Russia: Spends months trying to capture a random city 25 miles from their border. Ukrainian defenses were somehow "missing" (sabotage). Stalemate.
Ukraine: Spends days capturing a specific important natural gas objective. Russian defenses are also missing (lazy). Success.
The first surgeons worked on cadavers like Dr. Frankenstein. They were equally as reviled.
looking at the rent prices in/near Santa Monica...
You are thinking of walking to work? You're going to be commuting like everyone else. That's why everyone in LA is stuck in traffic. Or just work from home.
It's not. Investors literally only care about money.
Rich people don't have "class consciousness" because they all want to be better and richer than other rich people. That's what "keeping up with the Joneses" (or Kardashians) is. You don't want the Joneses to improve, because that hurts you.
It's a zero-sum game at the top. If your neighbor buys a Mercedes, you need to buy a Maserati. Like I said, neo-marxism fundamentally misunderstands rich people.
When he strokes the beard thusly, does he appear more intellectual?
This is not about running the best company or running the best economy. It is about maintaining class power and privilege.
I understand your point, but neo-marxist perspectives like this fundamentally misunderstand what companies care about (for obvious reasons). No company cares about "class power" or "privilege" because shareholders only care about their own money.
Their "class" is not important when it comes to investing. If they could fire all the nepo babies and use AI instead, they would do it in 1 second.
The funny thing is that there are executives who know what they're doing, but they may be outvoted by people who failed upward due to connections or a "good background" (ivy league, internship, etc.).
I always thought "what does a brand name education prove?" This isn't the 1800s. Community college now is almost as good as Harvard was in the 1800s. Back then, just being able to read meant that you were educated.
Also, what does an internship prove? You know how to carry 8 coffees at once? You can wear a cheap suit? No, it's all cover for connections. If businesses wanted the best people (say the top 10%) you could literally just set up a table outside a subway station and interview random commuters, getting probably 10 good prospects in a day.
Yes, it was. Tech led the downturn yesterday, but Nasdaq was only down like 2%. The "world" stocks (ex-US) are more volatile than the US. In my opinion (and Warren Buffett's), they are not worth investing in as ETFs. Only particular companies. The markets are genuinely worse than in the US.
Also, they quote $10k for "supportive housing" and show a picture of San Francisco. I guarantee that's not accurate. The state needs to pay to house these people, but we need to be realistic about the cost.
