I saw a couple posts on Elon and his factory In China and him losing billions because Tesla stock took a hit. The problem to put in perspective is if a millionaire or billionaire lose 90 percent of their wealth yes it affects a lot of people, but they will still get by. If most of us lose 90 percent of our “wealth” we have 100 dollars and don’t know what we are going to do tomorrow. The gap in wealth and equality is tremendous and ridiculous we must do something.

I contract (defense industry) has been reduced by 90% effective mid June. The manager told us already but was not supposed to until June 3rd. He said that we will 4 weeks insurance paid, that's it. When the official announcement comes out on the 3rd how I and my coworkers leverage the most from the company?

Nothing rockets a company to success like skipping over senior employees, who’ve been with your company for decades, to promote a younger employee to run the department. Why do companies assume these decade employees will train and mentor these people?

I am working at a production company so we use our hands a lot. I got an injury because I had to prove myself I was able to work there. I didn't say anything until like a week ago and told them I couldn't operate some of the machines anymore. At least for a couple of weeks. They were all fine with it. One of my floormanagers just came with a very angry look on his face basically pressuring me with his words and asking things like “how come you haven't done much work?” Etc. I told him that it was because of my shoulder and that I did work very hard (I was basically running around the workplace to get everything done. Still pressuring my injured shoulder.) So I couldn't even tell him that, because I was just dumbfounded at his behaviour and him rolling his eyes when I…

I have some simple, but effective logic for this. People use India, China and Japan as examples of countries where people work way harder than in America. Yet, America is more prosperous, and although we overwork, we overwork less than those places. Thus, we can justify the fact that overworking to the degree that Indians, Chinese people and Japanese people overwork, it's clearly unnecessary to work that hard to achieve American prosperity (which, in part, comes from our culture of individuality allowing for the individual expression enough to be creative). When other Asian countries are no longer overworking, there will be no argument about how they're working harder. People in Asian countries work long hours, but there's more coercion, both culturally and literally, and the work is far less efficient than someone in the USA following their dreams and starting a business. Creativity and following one's nature is far more…
