<p>You don't solve the problem by "humbling the workers".<p>The solution is rewarding people when a company is successful and more importantly not punishing hard workers. Right now people are under the impression that slacking and working hard will be equally rewarded, because that is the truth. Hard workers also get laid off so that CEOs can make a few extra bucks.</p>

<p>Not in comparison to the value they provide.<p>A grocery store I worked at tracked finances and they were available to all employees. The grocery store made $270 per worker per hour. New hires were paid less than 1/10 of the value they provided.<p>I can only imagine how much more exploitative tech is</p>

<p>Thats not reality though.<p>I didn't get laid off 3 times because I have a bad attitude. I got laid off because:<p>1) it was cheaper for the company to move the software department over seas<p>2) The business got sold to Amazon and as part of that process they had to downsize<p>3) Company collapsed due to leadership failure<p>I had a good attitude until I saw how disposable I was to these companies. You're an asset until you aren't.<p>Product finished? downsizing. Financial crisis that doesn't effect our industry? downsizing. Company about to IPO? downsizing.<p>Companies have <i>no</i> loyalty, you shouldn't either.</p>

<p>I don't think <i>this</i> correlation implies a causation, same with alzheimer's.<p>I think you're incorrectly attributing to viral/bacterial infection what can more likely be explained by a difference in lifestyles. Nearly 80% of people who die from Leukemia are over the age of 65. People who die in airplane accidents are usually flying private and that is not a lifestyle all of us can afford.<p>I think it's more likely that doctors die of specific causes because they have more money than the average person, the knowledge to do their best to avoid heart disease and smoking (and other hazardous activities except apparently for flying private), or perhaps because they're exposed to chemicals through their work environment</p>

<p>I disagree with v_____.<p>"He didn't send the letter. The lawsuit was dropped."<p>"He didn't send the letter therefore the lawsuit was dropped."<p>Two very different examples. "therefore" in the second example communicates a causal effect from the independent clause that isn't present in the first example.<p>I'm sure one could argue that context clues <i>could</i> imply that same connection and therefore "therefore" is redundant but I just don't agree with the premise.</p>

<p>Therefore isn't empty verbiage. It's just communication, it's a conjunctive adverb. Therefore implies causation or at least some connection between clauses.<p>I could see arguing that starting a sentence or paragraph with "Therefore, " repeatedly in one essay is empty but tbh your teacher just sounds jaded.</p>

<p>> Also, apparently some of these issues exist for over a decade. That alone tells you how serious the problem is<p>The "serious problem" is that they've known about bugs for 20 years and not committed resources to fix it. The problem <i>is</i> the money.</p>
