    Okay, so they made the claim that nearly every software engineer is against it. What is the proof?

    Did he ask every software engineer? How did he take this poll?

    That's odd because there are tons of engineers with software patents.

    Not paying severance is not wage theft. Severance was not included in Twitter's employee contract.

    How is it criminal behavior to not offer severance, which 99% of companies don't offer? Not offering severance has nothing to do with criminal behavior. If so, 99% of small busines…

    Severance is typically not "unambiguously contractually owed." The fact that many here would want company executives imprisoned for not offering goodwill boggles my mind.

    The most impressive con is how you think you know what's better for people down South than they do.

    It's ironic that you at first seem concerned about "normal folks that embrace the song", but then "down punch" them by calling them "useful idiots" at the end. Your "lack of awaren…

    Good catch. You're right that rent is cheaper in Germany than Mississippi, which I did not know.

    How exactly are they getting higher wages if their union factory jobs are moved overseas?

    Comment #37287874

    How is there "better" work when almost all of the new factories are opening in (or relocating to) right to work states? TSMC is opening the chip factories in Phoenix in a state tha…

    Median income only makes sense if cost of living is the same but it's not. The median house price in Germany is $410,000 and the median one in Mississippi is $254,900. It would be …

    Median income is not an objective measure to compare wealth. Again as I said below, it does not take into account non-income based compensation like food stamps, housing assistance…

    It's quite ironic that you say that "economic systems should serve humans" but then support "tariffs" which will significantly increase the cost of living for the aforementioned hu…

    Then they'll move their factories overseas. Unions do not have a monopoly on workers.

    Companies can just relocate to right to work states which they have been doing.

    It wasn't meant to be snarky and I apologize if it came off that way. Median income doesn't account for federal and state benefits and other non-income compensation like food stamp…

    GDP/capita typically measures economic wealth and is typically used to compared economies. "Median income" does not account for cost of living which can explain how Mississippi can…

    There are many right to work states that don't force union membership.

    Mississippi, being the poorest state in the union, is as rich as Germany (GDP/capita).

    Well, there are thousands of banks in the US alone that offer mortgages and loans.

    Most Americans have access to AT&T, Verizon and T Mobile. They also have a choice of insurance plans and healthcare providers.

    You're right but the person is talking in the context of competition and how competition doesn't reduce profit margins "for industries with big capital requirements."

    We have seen that work many times actually if you know anything about economics and capitalism.
