Labor participation rates are historically low

The problem is compounded by the fact that students do not get to choose who their loan servicer is and thus a few servicers like Navient have a government approved monopoly on that business. Can look up many reports on their incompetence and misleading information that funnels students into repayment plans that maximize their own revenue.

Highly doubt it. All the employees who came forward were jr customer service agents. Would anyone actually believe that board members would even know who they were, track them individually down and know why they left the company?

A lot of people travel and need luggage as well. I’m not suggesting Away would ever be worth anything close to Nike but is it realistic to think it could be worth several billion? Sure.

You realize Lululemon makes yoga pants and has a valuation of $30B right?

And Nike makes shoes and has a valuation of $150B?

You don’t need to be a “tech” company to build something worth billions.

do you not think the reporter put that in the story to induce you as the reader to have this very reaction?

i think her actions were wrong, but i also think this setup at the beginning of the story has nothing to do with the actual issue at all and was meant to turn readers on the CEO from the get go before you had even read anything about what she had actually done.

The reality is that many successful high profile founders, including Gates/Zuckerberg/Spiegel came from wealthy backgrounds. It speaks more to the power of a strong social safety net when it comes to entrepreneurship than anything else, but shouldn’t by itself make you hate someone.

I don’t really understand why people say a tax on owned capital is so far fetched when we are all okay with property taxes which is literally a wealth tax on a subset of owned capital. The only difference is that property taxes are regressive and not progressive

A middle of the road developer can make all of those things. You don’t need a 10x ninja in SF who demands 500k/year to do that. Highly doubt Schwab has really been competing on salary in SF for tech roles as is.

Schwab isn’t exactly competing for the “tech” talent pool so there isn’t anything particularly special about staying in SF vs elsewhere for them.

It’s pretty disappointing. Their share price has been completely flat since IPO. I’m surprised shareholders have not revolted against Jack being a part time CEO. Clearly there needs to be some dedicated focus to clean up the app. So much potential to be so much better.

Not sure what you mean by “super placebo”? Doesn’t seem right at all. The reason why these drugs are more effective in combination with therapy is because they, speaking from personal experience, “unlock” your mind in a way that can be conducive to objective self-examination.

It might not be for that specific reason but there is a secret security check nonetheless
