Because, not despite. Let no good deed go unpunished.

I’d like to get out while I can, but to what country? Any suggestions?

By the way the answer to your question is simple: the American people are fascists, not just the president.

First I think people who recognize there are problems is what is needed now. You leaving makes things worse.

Then again, it is understandable not everybody has the luxury to be in circumstances that allow adequate forms of resistance.

If you ask about which country, I'd say it depends. It depends on who youaare, what your skills are, which climate zones and cultures you prefer, whether you're willing to learn a new language and so on.

Canada.

As loathe as you may be to admit it, there is such a thing as truth. Both sides claiming something doesn’t mean both sides claims are true (or conversely that neither sides claim is true).

You don’t seem to be thinking very well.

Come on man this isn’t Reddit.

You haven’t contested the substance of the argument at all. It’s as though you agree.

There is nothing to contest here. This is HN forum and there is wide held belief that capital markets tech work is somehow below what the folks are doing in SV.

Sorry but this is a shit definition.

You’ve defined scamming people, a totally voluntary error, as creative not extractive.

You’ve also defined building roads as extractive not creative.

I think you’re latching onto some very misguided principles.

Building toll roads is creation of value. People voluntarily pay to drive on them because they offer superior qualities to garbage public roads. If I could exclusively drive on toll roads, I would.

Public roads, OTOH, are extractive because someone is taking money from you to build them even if you don't consent to it and deliberately avoid them at every opportunity.

Money and value are different things.

Stock buy backs

Stock buy backs should not be possible within 1 years of a layoff, and should be a taxable expense if a layoff occurs within one year after a buyback.

I also think dividends should not be taxed by corporations, and only taxed as ordinary income by stock holders.

I’ve been told I’m a crazy socialist.

Wait, so you're saying that layoffs are or are not a means of freeing up cash for stock buybacks?

How else are they supposed to raise the stock price without actually improving the business in any way?

If they just want to do financial engineering and not actually produce something maybe they are in the wrong business?
