The US is not just erratic, it wouldn't be a stretch to call them hostile towards the EU right now.
That’s a pretty insane take that ignores decades of actual history.

I'm sure the NLRB has their eyes on this one....
Because of politics?
Yeah I’m sure that’s the only thing they do with their time. Definitely not work or do anything else productive for society.
I’ve never been obese and, judging by my family, likely never will be. I still think GLP-1 drugs should be free for anyone eligible. We have industrial complexes at both ends of obesity and diabetes. This is a trillion-dollar boost to the American economy in cost savings alone.
Has anybody attempted to show the actual math here in a serious manner?
“Exodus”, what a great name for this project. Very cool.
“Inflation is partly to blame for those big payouts. The cost of fixing or replacing damaged homes and cars has jumped sharply in recent years as a result of rising labor and material prices.”
Jeez, it’s almost like the intentionally refuse to understand how inflation fundamentally works…
This is what inflation does, has done, and will continue to do into the future as long as we print money the way we do.

>basically for free
iPhone costs ~$1000, with the highest profit margins on hardware plus AppStore out of any phone maker = for free lol.
Is this astroturfing HN loves to provide Apple for free? Apple fans will go out of their way to white knightly defend a trillion dollar company who can easily afford do implement any regulatory challenge, gaslighting you for having the audacity to hold Apple accountable to a high standards, as if they're some broke 3 person start-up scraping behind the couch cushions for money, when Apple is absolutely minted with the GDP of an entire country.
Design your own phone much?
I've always found it an oddly moot point whether humans caused climate change. If the climate changes past habitability, we won't be less dead because we didn't cause it, although I suppose it should let you know whether you could hope to change anything by changing human activity, but with various countries not agreeing and the problem of getting the entire race doing one thing, etc., I think we (or a decent subset of rich countries) would have to do some kind of large scale intervention besides trying to change human activity, like massive carbon capture.
It matters because you shouldn’t gaslight and lie to people. Articulate and intelligent people see through this, and it won’t help your cause.
We should all do our best to be honest with what we know, what we think we know, and what we don’t. Especially on the things that are important to us.
No I'm not missing the point.
I'm pointing out that the RTO boosters are making a much larger ask of their teammates.
In the age of open floor plans, no cubes, no offices.. many of us find it near impossible to do "deep work" in the office. Sitting on an open floorplan with noise cancelling headphones on for 8 hours per day is not a life I want to go back to living.
I generally support choice in work place. However, many advocates of WFH disappear for days; seem to produce less results. Younger teammates don’t have the best work philosophies, and won’t necessarily develop them in isolation.
Some of this may be fixed with process changes and better tooling; but that does not exist today for the company I work for.
I signed a contract that said I would come to the office when I took my offer, and honestly, if WFH people are serious; that should be more vocal about allowing folks to leave the state boundaries too. Silicon Valley folks who live in 3+ mil houses seem to be really happy with WFH…
As a personal anecdote, many of our local restaurants near my office have closed down, people I cared about lost jobs and livelihoods from these somewhat self-centered changes. I want more people to understand that these arguments have perverse secondary effects on society as well.
RTO is disliked by everyone. I work in big tech and everyone including the VP of my org dislikes it. It has become a formality and everyone just does whatever is needed according to policy. It is very hard to see anyone benefitting from it. The velocity has gone down and everyone knows and accepts it. I am being told even the EVPs dislike it but it is top down from CEO and everyone should just do the bare minimum required.
Disagree with your sentiment. Big tech employee for 12 years. There is substantial support for RTO, but those voices aren’t as loud, don’t advocate their positions as vocally as the rest.
