And there are incentives for the psychiatry as a whole to "find" more mental illness and suffering. It creates a river of funds towards the industry, and the more money they get the more unhealthy individuals will be found.

I recall my friend had a WiFi connected scales from Xiaomi (~8 years ago), and somehow got that on his phone as a trend.

@Polychrome

🤗 Were you operating BBS and FidoNet back in the days?

I even used it to deliver software upgrades from Malaysia to a customer in Sweden for a short while, being a Point (below a Node) in both countries.

Then Internet came and everything got much slower for a while.

Nostalgia!!

Pick a random person from the social security registry, and it will be a better choice than any career politician.

In 1992, I bought diskettes with "Lifetime Warranty" from 3M. A couple of years ago, I tried to read those with a brand new diskette drive. More than 50% of the data was lost, especially the important bits.

I contacted 3M for warranty claim, but they didn't come back to me.

@efi

@freemo Good on you. I don't qualify...

@freemo
Nonsense, that is just your opinion. ;-)

@LouisIngenthron

And there are SEC regulation that it is the obligation of the board and management to maximize shareholder value (yes, it is quite vague), which tend to be argued to be "in the short term".

@freemo

Thanks. Unfortunately that doesn't align with my own "Joyride".
And the only one I know that could be a massive asset for you (Rickard Öberg), just swapped positions last year, and won't do it this soon after.

He joined Totto Hetland's eXOReaction AS, and I think they take on consulting gigs, so perhaps contact them from that perspective if need arises.

@freemo

What industry/market is the product/service for?

@freemo
Before reading the job descriptions, I thought; "Plenty of people are available at the moment."
After reading; "Not that many that can honestly claim that they can fill those shoes.", incl myself...

Oh, I actually thought you were looking for tooling to analyze the food. And for some bizarre reason I got those adverts for about 6-9 months in 2020 or so. Not sure what Google thought about me at that time, because I also go adverts for Barbed Wire Machines and Cable Recycling Machines. I switched to Brave browser partly due to these ads.

@freemo

A few of years ago, Google started to serve me advertisements for machines like that, starting at a million dollars or so and up.

@Zennblack

Next; More CO2 == less oxygen in the atmosphere and less O2 means that blood gets thicker (actual fact) and that's the reason.

So, CO2 emissions lead to blood clots!

@Humpleupagus

Because the business is a Business and responsible to stakeholders (owners, customers, employees,++).

Whereas Hollywood is Politics and responsible to the Slave Owners and their cadres only.

@SeaTree

@Humpleupagus

So in your opinion, if government didn't steal half the salary, the employee would still only get what they get now?

When I ran a company, I paid the employees as much as possible, to ensure that they didn't leave to someone who paid more. From my PoV, income tax is paid for by the employees, and so are all the additional social fees (in Europe) on top.

A Swedish corporation started to put ALL the taxes on the payslip, and was outlawed immediately.

@moffintosh @Big_Richard

@Humpleupagus

Extracting the most out of one's workers is only possible when one doesn't care if the workers leave, i.e. over-supply of the service.

Government only has to deal with the threshold of emigration and possibly open armed rebellion and can therefore steal a lot more.

And corporations, don't forget, are the tax collectors of the government, in exchange for government protection of the owners and managers. However, doesn't apply to small firms.

@moffintosh @Big_Richard

@Humpleupagus

hahaha, this reminded me of an episode ~20 years ago.

I met up with the second largest bookie in Asia, and his operations were illegal, massive and quite intimidating. I was there to discuss writing software for him.

And I asked; "Are you gangsters?"

He calmly replied; "No, we hire the gangsters."

@BigTLarrity

@freemo

Thanks. Although I am not likely to start another firm with employees. a) I worry too much about their life situation, and b) loosely coupled networks of small firms have served me well the last 8 years or so.
