It’s Boeing though…

Do you live in Burghley house or something like that?

Selective hearing probably

Maybe it’s a cultural thing? I’ve only ever worked for Belgian and Dutch companies (and one Austrian one, but that was a project of only a couple of months).

All those companies were meritocratic and had an active agenda of nurturing talent.

This is how I work too tbh. Yes, you get more work, but then if it really becomes too much, they will just assign others to help you out (at least, that’s how it always went with me) and then you start delegating. You drill them, they become good, you delegate more. That frees up time for you to actually improve and automate stuff, freeing up more time for the delegates, allowing you to focus even more on making their and your life easier.

I’m in IT, so this might not work in every job type, but I’ve done this in every position I was in and it always worked so far.

Not a developer, but I do a lot of scripting. I recently needed a yaml file with a whole set of parameters from an excel file for about 600 objects. Copilot generated it for me in about a minute. It took some iterations but it saved me a fuckton of time. Anyway, my point is you need to pick your battles. It’s a tool, so wield it like one.

Thanks for the insight, grok

Carney: looks like it’s time to start dumping US bonds again.

Pay and conditions were not destroyed because of immigrants, but are a side effect of globalization. Production facilities were offshored, leading to a collapse of local manufacturing and low skill jobs (where no prior education is required, low skill jobs can and sometimes do require a lot of skill). Reshoring those jobs is incredibly difficult because it also means reconfiguring the supply lines. For urban areas this is not a huge issue, as those can switch to a service based economy, but for small towns this often meant that the main economic driver of the town left and people lost jobs.

Anyway, not caused by immigration. As a matter of fact, immigrants are a significant driver of economic activity and partly offset that.

I’m very patient

I would play that

I always thought those scifi stories where companies basically rule everything were overblown, but you just see it changing to that in real time.

Lol, this had me chuckle.

Since the ivermectin didn’t kill him, can we push the narrative that injecting a gram of botox will make him live a lot longer?

That would technically make them lies…

That’s an EU regulation, not a corporate measure. And it has drastically decreased the amount of littered bottle caps, so a good thing.

I think you have lost all sense of how much a billion is from it being thrown around so much. 5.5 billion is an enormous sum of money. Think of how much 1 million is, then imagine spending that 5500 times. It’s an obscene amount. Sure, some people have more wealth than that, but it’s still an absurdly large amount.

I knew it!

I don’t understand this. Are you talking about vespa’s or something like that?
