Originally started typing something to a completely different post. Whoops.

But yes, that becomes the challenge when deciding to stake employees versus a simple profit share.

Staking employees gives them longer term incentives, whereas profit sharing will be fundamentally a sales commission.

I naturally draw a distinction between city employees and elected officials.

I’m sort of the school of thought that transparency of who they are and conflicts of interest should be a given. Release of tax returns, etc.

I believe it happened before. He was on the outs, but it was the death knell.

Vesting periods, increasing stake over time, and conditions that shares are sold back to the company upon exit. You’d need to figure out how the valuation is done.

Basically turns out into a bonus with deferred payment and a chance for growth of the bonus if they work hard to support company growth.

Why are we worried about doxxing elected officials? Shouldn’t they self-doxx as a matter of principle?

Or Radical Christian Terrorists

Still doesn’t feel good to get fired and get an unemployment check with all sort of conditions attached, just because some company decided to clean up operations after hiring way too much.

Non sequitur to my point, but to what you wrote… I would support that any bailouts come with the condition that 50%+ of the share capital is given to a Sovereign Fund. There should be no corporate welfare… Only investment opportunities.

I’m curious about something.

I fully understand your sentiment of things that don’t need to be smart, being “smart”. I have never connected my TV to the internet, because fuck that. I think there’s a bunch of things that are getting crap they don’t need layered on, all to mine more data

That said, what’s the issue with the TV not updating to the latest software? Isn’t that basically the same as a TV that never needed updates? No chance of a new feature, ever?

The key difference is the spyware, but that wasn’t what frustrated you, specifically.

You must fly domestic?

Had a situation where an alliance partner got me to the long haul carrier late, missed the flight. The alliance partner (united) was responsible for rebooking-- offered me a downgrade in service class that same day and an added connection or next day on the original airline, class, and number of connections.

Note the “next day, maintain service” option was not coming with a hotel voucher. Work trip, they paid the hotel, but god forbid it was someone who didn’t work for a large mnc…

This was also due to weather so, “deal with it, because Jesus wanted it this way” prevailed in the contract of carriage.

US Citizens that reside in Puerto Rico.

France will review your company’s ledger if you want to fire people en masse. If you can afford to keep them you can’t fire them

Sure, but that’s only because you can’t drive to Europe. Not because England is an island?

Bro they got first dogs, too

You aren’t correct. https://www.fvap.gov/citizen-voter/voting-residence

You generally need to have established residency in a state at some point in your life, but there is zero requirement to spend any time there if you live abroad in order to retain your voting rights. Several states allow children who have been born overseas the right to vote at their parents last US address.

However, because Puerto Rico is part of the United States, residents there (even if you retired there after living in New York your entire life) fall under the rules for Puerto Rico.

So, you can live in Mexico as a US Citizen, permanently, and retain voting rights in your last state… Or you can live in Puerto Rico and lose the ability to vote for president.

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses

The made up one

But… You can drive to England, if you are already in europe.

F*rgiven

But if the baby is already dead, no harm no foul
