    Great points that I have intuited over the years. Publicly traded companies are trash and always tend towards maximum profit and the consumer experience be damned due to the fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. They are literally forced by law to be as greedy as possible and cannot make principled decisions without being liable to be sued by the shareholders which always leads to the terrible experience of backwards rules and being nickle and dimed.

      large component of this is the real inflation rate of USD. 2-3% is commonly quoted for the CPI, but it's closer to 7-8% once you broaden the scope of measure outside of cheap manufacturable goods. cant park your company's wealth in currency, debt becomes far more appealing as a result. it's a terrible thing but it's fundamental to how money works. bitcoin helps fix this

      @@christpierre very true. another major factor in this element of our economic order is the sponsor of keynesian economics in academia thru various government + corporate institutions via grants, scholarships, and other financial support. keynes argued for moderate, but constant, inflation and going against this idea in academia is effectively career suicide.
      constant inflation benefits the entire financial sector (the rothschilds and their ilk) because it makes currency an untenable place to park your wealth, making all kinds of asset managers, financial advisors, and other fiduciaries a profitable service to hire. if not for inflation, nobody would have any incentive to pay their fees, and the entire financial sector would collapse overnight. a useless multibillion dollar industry ran by some of the most morally bankrupt people on the planet. vampiric.

      @@PavltheRobot Market monetarism is a school of macroeconomic thought that advocates that central banks target the level of nominal income instead of inflation, unemployment, or other measures of economic activity, including in times of shocks such as the bursting of the real estate bubble in 2006, and in the financial crisis that followed.[1] In contrast to traditional monetarists, market monetarists do not believe monetary aggregates or commodity prices such as gold are the optimal guide to intervention. Market monetarists also reject the New Keynesian focus on interest rates as the primary instrument of monetary policy.[1] Market monetarists prefer a nominal income target due to their twin beliefs that rational expectations are crucial to policy, and that markets react instantly to changes in their expectations about future policy, without the "long and variable lags" postulated by Milton Friedman

    • @stt.9433
      @stt.9433 4 роки тому +6

      being productive and having the will to provide a service are two vastly different things. Being productive is how much value are you able to create for yourself or others that can be within a company or not, having the will to provide a service speaks on the motivation which is sort of meaningless in a pure business perspective as much as the word talent in fact.

      ​@@stt.9433 I meant being able to develop usable product material for other colleagues in the chain is more valuable than looking to satisfy the inner introvert with arbitrary selected cognition material, an attitude I associate with talent. To me, his quote dissociates two archetypes of workers, the former valuing their image more than the product, the latter doing what needs to be done for the product to be complete.

I suspect no one was monitoring the live audio feed for this recording or doing a test beforehand. A shotgun mic on a stand or arm would have prevented this. Heck even if the shotgun mic would have been mounted on the camera that is recording this, it would have been better then what we ended up with here.

      Heh - I was literally *not allowed in the room*! Basically I came to film the event as a freelance journalist, the LBJ school of public affairs said that I wasn't allowed to be there. However, they DID allow the UT radio station to be there and they also had a camera. I said: "I acknowledge that as a freelance journalist, I'm not allowed to be here. However, UT Radio, would you like to use a second camera and my sound recording equipment?" "Yes I would!" said the journalist. I shook his hand and said "Thank you, I'll be on my way!"
      Halfway through the talk they realised they REALLY should have had a recording of it themselves, AND set up a second talk in the auditorium to handle the overflow. They said that I could record the second talk if I gave them my footage.
      The reason I wasn't able to dampen the mic was because I literally wasn't legally allowed to stay in the room to dampen it!
