Unions do not help everyone. Unions often impose artificially high labor costs, which results in a lower amount of jobs being created. The real impact soon becomes apparent when companies start to lay off those union employees because their margins are slim and they try to automate as much as possible, instead of hiring people to do the job.
See the recent UPS layoff, just after 6 months of a great union deal: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/difficult-disappointing-ups-l...

If the rich are not consuming in proportion to what they have, then what do they do with their money? Right, they invest it. And what does that investment create? Jobs, factories, lower costs, and new opportunities for all. The fact that someone was able to accumulate wealth shows that they know how to use it to generate a return. For the economy in general, it is much more beneficial to have people with skin in the game to invest their own money, instead of the government wasting it in bureaucracy.

Neflix revenue went from 4.3b in 2013 to 31b in 2022. Astounding success by any measure. That means they are doing something right, including their talent strategy. "garbage" is subjective. Neflix employees are likely paid bonuses on views / subscriptions generated, which from their revenues looks like they know how to hit.

Thanks, Darren. Would you like to get a personal demo, just drop an email to [email protected]? We've looked into Aylien and other competitors and I believe we are on par and actually better on some aspects. Would be glad to answer the questions, if you'll have any.

Hi, we provide a free plan for Hacker News users, so I don't think "free" is somehow "unrealistic". Paid plans are mostly business-focused.

Businesses which rely on Facebook, as their sole distribution channel could get out of business if Facebook goes out. A lot of economical value will be lost.

Uber serves millions of customers around the world by providing lower prices and better service, something that is not matched by taxi cabs or any similar services. Calling businesses that create so much value parasitic is a way of comparison.
Anecdotally, I have taken a trip from London to Heathrow airport 2 times, one time with a taxi cab and the other time with Uber. Uber cost two times less, and the service was on the same level or better.

Nope, the SEC demands to get all the gains back plus pay a fine. He may go bankrupt after this.
