Well most of us can't afford a plane ticket.

What could possibly go wrong?

very hard to convince someone of something when their paycheck requires they don't understand it. seroiusly "hay I'm one of the people who has been demanding my company finish AI and roll it out and stuff it into everything we sell to look like massive growth so my stocks will start going up even though the language models aren't even designed to do what were claiming, and they don't even work well as language models, and we have no real use for them and they're horrifyingly costly to run, but no, I don't think it's a bubble."

had a therapist try to get me to realize Jesus is the answer to all of life's problems. At the time I had been going to a christian church all my life. like yeah, OK Debbie, I like Jesus too, but praying it's making me have less OCD behaviors I want need to start coping with or breaking so it stops ruining my life.

when the doctor tells him he's pickling his liver, then abruptly refuses to appear on camera again, that should have been a pretty serious giveaway.

I'm not sure where the data is that shows this, but it's pretty easy to find out the law makers aren't responding to voter demand and they don't care about protecting children, like most laws this isn't about the supposed motivation it's most likely a way to goose up VPN stock value.

Clearly the documentation I dealt with daily was a hallucination. I'm sorry to defy your superior set of facts.

But it gets it wrong TOO! You could be leaning absolute gibberish.

promises promises.

Violating decency is a big part of populism, which is what trumpism is all about.

Compliance is calculated with previous years costs in workman's comp, hiring and training costs, and lawsuit and fine payouts. It's one of the easiest tasks to break down to dollar amounts. If we paid $8k at every site and one site paid $2k because they didn't get fined on electrical outlets out of code, then one task in compliance saved $6k I'm not theorising with you. I have seen the excel spreadsheets, this isn't me assuming they exist, this is quantified. This is specified on paper man. What don't you get here? Marketing is VERY easy to assign a dollar amount to. We made $100k one quarter with $1k paid in marketing, we made $200k next quarter with $2k paid on marketing. Very easy to determine. You want to wake everyone in the morning meeting up? Tell them you want to pull money out of Advertising and redirect it to payroll. They'll all spit their coffee out. Social media is also very easy to quantify. You just compare metrics across all quarters and pair them to social media follows, this is a huge metric that a lot of business decisions are made on, this isn't amorphous just because you're unaware of how important it is to business. Branding also has hard values assigned, and supporting or changing branding is very much a numbers game. Why else do you have companies willing to buy the name of another company even when they don't need their production or staff along with it? I don't think you grasp that every single task someone does for a corporation is matched to a dollar figure amount. Seriously. If I could get labor class people to drop one myth it would be that their labor has next to no value. They know what you're worth and they know how much they aren't paying you out of the value you produce.

Mopping a floor has a determined metric. I'm not kidding. It's a metric. Clean bathrooms are worth a determined dollar amount. It's not simply sales or production, every task has a dollar amount. The amount of time it takes to do the task has a dollar value determined and on paper. Corporations know what every task is worth in dollar amounts. Processing Hazmats? Prevents the fine. Removing trash or pallets? Prevents lawsuits and workplace injury. Level of light reflected from the floor? Has a multiplier effect on sales. Determined. Defined. Training sales people on language choices, massive sales effect. They know how much money every single tasks generates, fines or lawsuits prevented, multiplier effects on average ticket sales, training to say ' highest consumer rated repair services ' instead of 'extended warentee' these are on paper defined dollar amounts. There is NO JOB in which you are paid to do something of no financial value. There are no unprofitable positions or tasks.
