Most often, if an external service is being used (e.g. for employee surveys), you first get a mail from internal address (that is also signed with corporate cert) that says something to the effect of "You'll be getting a mail over the next few days from SurveyPartner. The e-mail originates from @domain.com and it has a link to https://surveybox.something/ou... [surveybox.something] something".

This is the kind of content that should actually be in most phishing trainings.

European productivity is well behind America, and the gap is widening.

So what? It's not like American workers make more money by being more productive. Why not look at metrics that are actually related to people's lives? Poverty rate, infant mortality rate, life expectancy, quality of life, economic mobility, press freedom, literacy rate?

I know it's hard for capitalists to comprehend, but the economy isn't everything. It doesn't matter if a bunch of companies make a ton of money, if the government doesn't collect taxes off it, and spend that tax income on its people.

It's the political parties and media organizations who are out of touch with the silent majority.

What are you talking about? The Republicans are not "out of touch" with public opinion. They do not care about it. They are not attempting to represent the will of the people, they are imposing their own will upon the people.

What Canadians don't realize is that Americans think about Canada about as much as Canadians think about Mexico, which is to say, almost never.

Every Canadian I know expects that Americans are mostly unaware of anything happening outside of their own country.

If Bernie thinks I'm 25% more productive, that will eventually be reflected in wages.

Wages have been disconnected from productivity for over 4 decades. Like, that's Bernie's whole point; employers see all the benefits of improved productivity, and workers do not get any more money or leisure time.

That said, there's nothing stopping my employer offering me either deal today. What makes Bernie think he knows better than my employer and me what work arrangement makes more sense for us?

Your employer does not want to offer you that deal because your employer wants as much of your labour as they can get for as little money as they can get away with paying. They aren't incentivized to pay you one cent more than it takes to stop you from quitting.

There is nothing gloomy about an island, where they employ people to shove others into tightly packed trains, from reducing to a more livable population size, where you can actually move through streets and find places to live.

This might be true if the drop in population were controlled, and the government could easily stop this trend once it reaches its desired population. But this drop in population is uncontrolled, and I don't blame them for worrying about it.

So the US will deny visas for officials from countries that censor social media (including "demand[ing] that American tech platforms adopt global content moderation policies"), while simultaneously denying visas based on the social media posts of the visa applicant? What a bunch of hypocrites!

Of course, the authoritarianism is much worse than the hypocrisy.
