The U.S. uses the value of statistical life VSL. Here are the numbers from the Department of Transportation over the last 10 years or so.
So, it is interesting and egregious that the driver needs only pay $23K and Tesla pays nothing at all!
There will be hysterical articles in NYT about how these poor struggling retailers are losing SO MUCH money (but not really) from theft
Now the only reason to park two squad cars outside of every Kroger is to determine minorities into doing what they were already doing, i.e.: going grocery shopping.
Only the finest penguin poop pebbles for me! I'll take it!
If only my SO could understand this....
We're looking at houses right now and I want a relatively small house in a neighborbood where biking is a possibility. My SO wants one that pretty much only has access to a highway and is huge and spacious.
Right...so you think Panera's founder wants to motivate employees because he loves his employees so much?
At least one founder and former CEO agrees that the idea of boosting shareholders' returns isn't likely to be a key motivator to workers. Ron Shaich, Panera Bread's founder and former longtime CEO, has stressed how important it is for management and members of the C-suite to empathize with their employees and better understand what can get their buy-in to the company's mission.
The focus on therapy to uncover employee motivation is strategic. The CEO is basically saying that shareholder value is attended to through the motivations of employees. Hence, me saying that capitalism invades the reason your get up in the morning for additional value exaction.
Unless my interpretation is wrong, in which case feel free to argue that case!
Mmm, yes, therapy to motivate employees to make money for shareholders! Don't you just love when capitalism invades your most private spaces for more efficient value extraction?
Post hoc ergo propter hoc, or the post hoc fallacy, in general.
Basically in OP's case, I did this and something did or didn't happen. Therefore, what I did caused that something to happen or not happen.
Another comment used a survivorship bias with people that survived when others died or just living longer than other people. That's also an example of the post hoc fallacy. The idea that the survivor did something that caused them to live isn't necessarily true. They couldn't just got lucky.
It's also the foundational fallacy that connects the president to economic outcomes. Ask any economist: the president can't control the economy, and his influence is severely limited.
How come I can see the documents on Kbin but not on my home instance, Reddthat? I even enabled show bot accounts...still nothing though.
Very, very few people get rich from hard work. Even doctors and lawyers don't necessarily get rich from their jobs, though they can.
