As the executive you'd still be allowed a wage one hundred times that of the lowest paid worker which seems very fair to me.
But it doesn't seem fair to the guy who is actually putting his family in the balance.
Besides, your business is unlikely to ever reach the kind of turn-over where you could afford to pay yourself that much.
Wow. Way to incentivize there. Your mother never hugged you when you were a child, did she?
If it does you'll be the owner of the company so your net worth would still be very large. An argument based on personal risk in this context is flawed. I'd rather see a raised progressive tax rather than a flat out ban on high wages though, because I have a feeling that won't pan out. Anyway, best of luck to you in the future.
Yes. Best of luck in pawning your family's future in an endeavor that will most likely fail, and that at best should only give you slightly more wealth than staying in your 9-to-5 job working for some faceless company.
I don't consider it campy. But of course, my thinking of 'campy' is that everyone says the 1960s Batman tv show was campy. So 'campy' means not just slightly goofy and fun, but it has to be stupidly idiotic in a non-serious way. Doctor Who might be non-serious sci-fi, and it certainly has goofy elements in it, but it's not stupidly idiotic. Most of its drawbacks, for lack of a better term, stem from it being a show made by and for British public tv. It didn't have the budget of top-ranked American shows, so it looks more like a B-movie than our shows. But that doesn't make it campy.

-- and I overestimated the amount of charging I'd have to do at home. In practice I do 90% of my charging at the office, letting my employer pay for the electricity.
And your employer is fine with this? I can see it if you are a key player in a professional office environment, but for common workers I don't see management saying "Sure, use our electricity, we don't mind. By the way, your request for a raise has been approved."
I'm driving a 12 year old Buick now, and it just needed a new starter. With a few other issues resolved during the replacement, it cost about $600. The following week, we replaced the front tires and had it aligned, for a total of over $300. So the first major work the vehicle has needed cost about the same as replacing the four tires with an alignment would cost.
What twenty items did your car need replaced?
And a trade in??? Who is going to accept an EV with a dead battery for anything other than $0.00? The dealer would have to buy a new battery just to push it out the door, since no customer looking to buy a used EV is going to get one that's 10 years old with the original battery.
I know it is callous, but people worry more about deaths in their own countries than in others. Assuming they could be saved with effective antibiotics, at 23K per year lack of effective antibiotics is causing almost twice as many deaths as would removing all seatbelts and airbags in vehicles. Would you get excited if someone took all of the seatbelts out of your family's cars/trucks?
It's funny you mention that situation. I've said before that the best way to make driving safer is to take all seatbelts and airbags out of all vehicles, and mount a large pointy spike on the center of the steering wheel. Have it long enough to come about 3 inches from the driver's chest. If you get into an accident, you will be impaled and die. Do this for one year.
Sure, a lot of people will be killed in the first few months, but the most dangerous drivers will be weeded by their own actions in that time. After the spikes are removed, and driving returns to normal, we would be amazed at how safe 'normal' is.
I'm still waiting for my White House petition to get enough signatures to hear from the president if he likes the idea or not.
Most of the deaths are hospital acquired C. diff: shitting yourself to death. MRSA acquired outside of the hospital ('cause hospital hygiene is now good enough to prevent most MRSA infections) causes more excitement: it's very visible and very fast.
And that's why I agree with the posters above about the over-hyping of the "you'll die from a skinned knee" line. (Not that you are doing that. Just in general for this thread.) The newly-evolved antibiotic resistant microbes aren't in my backyard, hiding under my trees.
Compare that to how many people around the world die from non-antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and I would say no, it's not enough to get excited about.
As an aside, how many of those deaths are of people who acquired the bacteria while in the hospital for a planned procedure? As opposed to how many of the 23,000 died from a minor scrape or even moderate cut?
You don't understand the effect of marketing, do you? Words that people say or type evoke a response far in excess of their actual importance.
If someone tells a mother in an emergency room that her son's injuries "could become life threatening", no amount of downplaying that will matter. She will hear "Your son will die if we don't...." That is what humans do. How do you not know that?
" I wish/. would implement a better search algo so that we can for instance search our own past posts." agreed, but abbreviating 'algorithm' to 'algo' make you sound like a douche.
Wouldn't a douche more or less sound like Squirtle?
For the Air France example, it mentions what model of aircraft was involved, the Airbus A330. For a another flight, it didn't bother mentioning the model of the plane. It was an Airbus model? Googleing reveals it was the Airbus A320-214, with 155 passengers. (For your information, I thought it was a smaller commuter flight with a dozen passengers, which is all the more interest I had in the story when it happened. Does that make me a bad American? Or even a bad citizen of the world?)
Maybe the way it is written is more because we, in the US, are more likely to base our ticket purchases based on airline company than model of plane used, but for international stories involving places we'll never go and airlines we'll never fly with, we want more details.
When people mention crashes involving Boeing planes, do you automatically think it's a bash against the US?

As long as they made him cut off those disgusting dreads, I'm OK with the rest.
Dreadlocks should be banned everywhere in the world, except for Jamaica. That's my stand.

Absolutely! I'm in my 50s, and I've taken antibiotics twice, both preventative after dental work. Cuts and scrapes get soap and bandages.
Doesn't your soup contain antibiotics? If your soap doesn't kill microbes, what good is it?
No, most soup has no antibiotic effect at all. The healing power of it is all due to a mother's love.
As for the soap, it washes off the dirt that contains microbes, but doesn't necessarily kill the microbes on its own.
As for falling out of a tree, my somewhat educated guess is that bacterial infection is not the real danger from this.
Exactly. It's the garden gnome sitting below the tree that does the real damage.

Can you believe the idiot newscasters actually read that list on the air?
Everyone in that newsroom should have been fired for extreme stupidity.

What alternate sensors, that aren't already in use?
The ones they can develop and add to the plane in a few years. Not something already on the plane for some other function.
I'm guessing that's what he meant.
Personally, I think we're just a few years away from a fully automatic flying experience.
No, there will always be guild navigators. The spice must flow.
Was that at Warsaw International?
But hydrogen is interesting. And finally some competition for Tesla - let's see, what happens to a hydrogen fuel cell when you hit debris on the road!
They are going to avoid that situation by putting the fuel cell on top of the roof. It'll be perfectly safe.
Yes, Dave, it does.
