In many California cities, it costs almost that much just for a permit to have amplified sound at an outdoor concert for a few hours, on top of the venue fees. $1,000 a day for public advertising is priced like a fee, so of course they treat it like a fee. $100k per day would shut that down.

I am a proud American Citizen of Indian origin going thru my 25th year in the US (ex Georgia Tech + MIT startups).

And I have witnessed greedy capitalist American industries selling their soul, laying of locals, outsourcing everything abroad, with no remorse.

WTF

I also blame my divorce on greedy American capitalism gone woke+broke (ex-Akamai, etc).

Insightful comment about the layoff machine from https://m.slashdot.org/story/4... : "The social costs with these mass job losses are paid in divorces, broken homes, lower achievement rates of single parent raised children, increased drug use, increased jail rates, increased suicide rates, much lower child birth rates, etc."

I suppose that's one way to keep the (probably mostly single male) software engineers and IT people doing what you want them to do, but I feel like digital managers would be more effective. :-D

American companies view extroverted personality traits as "management material." They're sociable, talkative, outgoing, confident, positive, friendly, and open. Managers are extroverted. Extroversion tends to increase as you look at managers higher in an organization. Your C-level executives all tend to be the most extroverted people in the company.

Education matters when looking for a managerial position. But, hiring managers downplay education all the time. What matters most of all are things like "company fit," aka personality. Do you act like a manager? In the US, that often means: are you extroverted?

Companies would rather promote an extroverted employee with some job experience over any introverted MBA regardless of the MBA's job experience. That extroverted employee just has "management material" written all over him.

Not really. Attacks on tumors often trigger metastasis. Useful choices are removal of the whole tumor, burning out the whole tumor, or poisoning it in a way that will also affect the mets. Any partial local attack that is likely to just make the tumor spread.

When I was a kid in the 80s, our halloween costumes were sized to fit snow suits under them.

A few decades later, we had a green Christmas, and it was so odd that we made a Caribbean theme to go with it.

Nowadays, it's even money if we'll have snow on the ground at Christmas any given year, and it was 30c on Halloween.

Same reason as anything else that has cheating; there's a tangible value to somebody to winning, so they want to win.
