It also doesn't help with boorish coworkers who get in your face who, when you had a door you could close, would often go away because as clueless as they are about social interactions they would see a closed door as 'privacy needed.'
It depends.
Way back in the dark ages I got a job as a very junior engineer (making about 1/3 of a real MTS) and worked my way through school.
You pay one way, or you pay the other. If you want a high starting salary, then yes, you needed credentials. I didn't have them. Took me 5 years to do half a bachelors and a masters degree going at night - I'd gone 2 years for associates degrees (I got 3 of 'em because unlike folks who say 'I need to take 12 credits to be a full time student' I said 'Gee, I don't pay tuition beyond 12 credits so let me take 20) and doing the rest of it was tedious, two courses/ semester and I didn't have a life.
But I got out of school debt free. But you pay one way or the other - note I had no life and didn't do much of anything other than work and study.
I chose NOT to 'work my way up' without a credential in my company and, thank goodness FOR ME that I did that but others' mileage may vary.
Actually I suspect most male entrepreneurs do not have children nor women in their lives so do nothing but work, then get drunk at the weekend, sleep it off, then go back to work.
Indeed. Look at FDRs expansion of power of the federal government, and policies designed to make things hostile to small business, the idea being that a few big companies are easier to shivvy than many, many small ones. The only problem is at one point these companies get big enough to influence the federal government to a disproportionate degree aka Wall Street and Pharma influence in government.
As opposed to socialism and communism which has committed genocide, polluted the environments, and enslaved entire peoples for decades at a time.
it isn't perfect or even "good" (which is a personal definition), it's just better than other things we've tried.
If you cannot have a "what's in it for me?" in life, you don't really care to try and make circumstances, yours or anyone else's, better.
This is my observation as well for the same reason.
And I'm happy to deal with other online vendors - but it frosts me if another 'online vendor' is really a rebadged link to amazon, mostly because... why?
A social safety net, even in heavily social democratic countries, doesn't cover one's full salary. So unless you live way below your means, you can't do this anyway.
Indeed. From your words, my guess would be you live in UK or a commonwealth country; my second guess is that your nations are more like ours than they used to be: No one has ANY job security and people live with a high stress level ALL the time.
It's no surprise that life expectancy is dropping, not rising.
If he genuinely wants to understand, great.
However, my guess is that his goal is to try and understand enough about the unwashed masses to try and get all we rural cretins to live an urban left wing life like his.
No, thanks.
I don't see what you mean - maybe it's cause I'm one of those heartland hillbillies - but about 100% of we right wingers like things that make economic sense. If a solar panel makes economic sense, I see a lot of them. If it's a fashion statement (think a dreary rainly climate like Seattle) we dont' tend to do it. Of course, we bitter hillbillies don't live in Seattle, either, thank goodness.

Unfortunately Yanks do too.
Such as eliminating the member veto? This is a good thing?

Of course not, we're 'muricans.
I daresay that the EU and China would disagree with you. Don't forget Japan as well.
Well, since 'America' is the US, Canada, Mexico, and many other nations in central and south America, well, heck, take your pick!
wabbit season!
If you live in the United States, the health of the USA economy is extreme importance to you. Race such as 'white' has nothing to do with it.
I think this is what is known as sarcasm.

Next open enrollment for benefits.

Then I guess these new proposed laws are to break up companies the lawmaker doesn't like 'cause he or she has stock in competitors.

Not Americans, anyone.

I'd be curious to find out what planet you live on.
Yes, there's a lot of suspension of disbelief. Getting beyond the physics though, space 1999 and UFO had great storylines.

It wasn't paramilitary, it was military.
It's quite simple. In left wing utopias like Star Trek, the politically favored live in such lovely places.
