And as an English expression for when you have a penchant for dropping things: “I have two left hands”

Unless of course the VP dies and the President nominated the speaker as the VP and was confirmed

Exactly

Are they getting anything for the taxes?

I’ll buy the argument on a fleet vehicle. But I miss any reasonable use case that justifies the price for Joe Blow the consumer.

I really don’t understand why this is a product at all. What value does it provide me for $250/yr?

The way this whole thing went down is absurd.

That said, I had an underperforming colleague who never picked up that feedback was negative. They only latched onto the positive statements. This is either a failing of the receiver to hear the negative when also getting positives or a failing of the feedback giver to be direct.

It’s impossible to say in this situation, though it caught my attention that she mentioned she was close to closing a deal and lost it last second. If we take the CEOs statement at face value, perhaps she didn’t actually meet their metrics.

I can’t say if this is justified or not, but what is abundantly obvious to me is 1) their feedback system likely sucks 2) the hit squad was under prepared with the justification for a termination for lack of performance, 3) she called them on their shit justifiably.

I also agree that it should be expected they give a reasonable severance if this is their hiring model… If you by rule whack people.after three months, they should compensate for another three as people were not looking for new work.

This is not slander. It would be slander/libel if they went out and proclaimed she sucked at her job with nothing tl back it up.

Have lived in both eu and us.

Agree, but the challenge on tax is that it’s not harmonized across municipalities. This means that stores that are across the street from each other may have identical prices/profit margin and a different net price to the consumer. This would lead to consumer preferences biased by physical location and have lots of other weird side effects. You can see this in areas that border state lines when the tax is appreciably different.

Step one is a harmonized tax rate, but that’s easier said than done.

Eminent domain is subjected to legal challenges. Both to the authority (there must be a purpose) and also to the FMV assessment. Which costs money. And time.

If it was as easy as snapping their fingers, it would’ve happened.

… That’s the joke

No, there’s a good documentary about their other role in fugitive apprehension called The Fugitive.

There was also an epilogue to it called US Marshals

Going to disagree with pure consumption based accounting.

Think there needs to be something about decision influence basis, otherwise the companies won’t have pressure to change as the “bill” is accounted for elsewhere

And do homework when?

School, Sport, work, sleep.

Miss dinner, homework, time with family… What a fucking hellscape.

We talking bout practice. Not the game. Practice.

Looks like an Apidra pen from Sanofi. But same thing with the bad day.

Didn’t say it was or that I wanted to.
