Large corporations will hopefully be forced to just eat the loss;
They will just increase prices and pass the expense on to the consumer.
It's typically my experience that a great number of people are not entrepreneurial. They just want to show up to work, do their job, get paid and go home. I'm not talking about coercion of anyone to be FORCED to work for a business. I am just trying to understand how this new legislation would work. My hunch that is if this was passed, consumer prices would increase 20%. If you believe otherwise I would like to understand more.
I don't have to "let" Joe sell his own widgets. He'd be free to do that regardless. I guess your guidance is that the business should just die under this new model.
I'm not necessarily opposed to this... I just expected the plan to address how the productivity gap will be filled. Looks like the plan is: "People will just work harder in the 32 hours to make up for it".
My pessimism says that if this passes, businesses will just increase their prices to cover the extra cost per hour of employee time.
I suspect the small size of the dev team and the general nature of an OSS project means there aren't swarms of people around volunteering to be community managers.
Small projects your sway with the project is directly proportional to your ability to submit pull requests. It's just a sad fact that it's easier to say "I wish we had feature X" vs. "Here is a pull request that implements feature X".
At least with OSS you are getting what you paid for (nothing!), vs commercial companies where you pay for the software and they STILL ignore you.
Lowest unemployment rate in the last 50 years
In the months prior to the pandemic, the unemployment rate during the Trump administration was below 4% for nearly 20 straight months — there was one exception in that stretch, when the rate was 4% in January 2019.
Had Biden set the threshold a tick higher, at or below 4% — instead of simply below 4% — then “the longest stretch in over 50 years” would have occurred under the president he beat in 2020 and may face again in 2024: Donald Trump.
During the Trump administration, there were 24 straight months when the unemployment rate was at or below 4%, starting in March 2018 and ending in February 2020, before the devastating economic effects of the pandemic kicked in.
By that measure, an unemployment rate at or below 4%, the Biden administration is currently riding a streak of 20 straight months — the longest stretch in over three years.

I imagine LTT did that for meme purposes more than anything else. Threadrippers are not built for games. They’re built for production workloads which don’t translate to gaming performance.
What are some characteristics of modern, multi-threaded games that don't match up to production workloads as far as the CPU is concerned? What do you consider a production workload? How does it differ from CS2's simulation system?
Shameful that Democrats and Republicans are more or less on the same page when it comes to immigration policy.
This goes beyond immigration policy. There's large swaths of situations in our country that both major parties agree on. One thing that comes to mind is the bank bailouts. Most citizens were against this, but it was wildly popular in both parties.
Go figure, when you take a group of mostly rich people and stick them together in Congress, they are increasingly out of touch with the average citizen, and at times, even opposed to the interests of the people they are supposedly representing.
Who “deserves” to be here? What criteria are we using?
See: existing immigration laws
What constitutes “under control?” This feels like a 9/11-ish Patriot Act sort of open-ended law.
Only controlled, legal crossings
How does one “shut down” a 2000 mile long border without meaningful defenses?
You don't. There will be defenses (intrusion detection, border guards, etc.)
What constitutes a fix?
All immigration into the US is in compliance with our current regulations.
How are we tracking migrants, given that plenty of people slip through unnoticed, or cross legally and remain illegally?
It's almost impossible to live off the map in the US. Will we find every person that illegally snuck into the country? No. But, we will find some of them and either deport or naturalize them.
For example, that’s why you probably know Christian women with short hair.
I know Jews that eat shrimp... doesn't make it any more kosher.
