The shock is smaller, and oil’s importance is less so less likely to cause a recession. In the 70 price went up 400% and oil was rough 1.5x more important. Today price up 100% so the past oil shock was 6x larger

> The stock market keeps going up in the face of the indefinite closure of Hormuz
Why wouldn’t it? The closure leads to price increases which leads to inflation which leads to non-dollar assets (ie stocks going up in value)
Second from a US perspective the strait matters the least it has since world war 2. If the price stays high a bunch of fracking will come back online.

I saw this on Reddit yesterday so hopefully you were the op there as well. The advice there was all talk to a lawyer which you should do.
Either: 1) they are incorrect following the law or 2) they are correctly following the law And nobody can tell with 100% certainty either without going to court because law isn’t deterministic.
If it is 1 Amazon could be either: a) incompetently not considering your situation individually and will roll over when it gets escalated b) maliciously offer low and intending to fight it
Both Canada and EU have strong labour laws so probably worth fighting it even if you lose the 1 month

What type of phone do you use? If it's an Android phone and not a Nokia 3210 I would suggest that you examine whether you actually value just working at the expense of lots of new features.

This is an interesting comment, my work flow is almost completely different. I wonder if it's a difference based on what language we both spend the majority of our time in (for me Javascript, python, ruby).
* For markdown I prefer the synatx highlighting and scrollbars that show up on github to the giant blobs plain text gives you.
* I rarely want to attach binary files while I often find myself embedding inline images to illustrate a point
* I use cat test | gist -c -f test.txt -d "Output from failure" (it puts the gist link in my clipboard).
