Comment Reason why less women CEOs (Score 1) 19

It's an example of why there are fewer women CEOs, they don't want to work the long hours, tolerate an intense workload, and have no non-work family time.

It's a self-made choice on the women's part and why there are much women fewer corporate executives.

No one complains about 90% of nurses being women, since men chose to not enter the field.

No one is complaining about women not choosing to work on off-shore oil rigs where 98% of the workers are men.

US states seeking yet another 50 year income stream from a company.

There has to be a better solution to these types of social harms done on a large scale than a decades long Wall Street style monitization of the company's revenue.

It was not too long ago when companies were prevented from doing business when there was large scale harms done.

The only pay damages every year type of settlement needs to be a direct check paid to US citizens each year regardless of the amount where any intermediate middleman, agency, oversight board, etc. can take at most 0.01 percent of the funds paid.

It is about getting more long-term paying customers for AI services. Microsoft, Google, Amazon putting their own technical staff on -site with customers is just the same old consulting practices.

The repetition of negative responses to AI in the news pushes the cloud companies to get more AI success stories.

Right now, there is a lot of starry sky speeches with emotional appeal "AI will help cure cancer" or similar statements without any timeline for the breakthrough, cost ballpark or percent chance estimate.

They could have picked an actress fitting the supergirl comics image with more appeal and a better relationship with worldwide fans.

Hollywood picking complainer after complainer, people who blame their movie going customer base and people who push social or political agendas is not working well.

The NBA has a code of conduct for off the court behavior so that NBA players off-court actions do not damage the reputation of the league.

The USA needs funded government programs to bring up the 4 years that men live less long than women on average so that they are about equal.

Endlessly dismissing with "men don't go to the doctor", "men don't eat right", and other "men need to step up" has not helped.

The government funded programs need to work for men, for men's health issues, mental health issues and not be run from a "what helps women or works for women" agenda.

Comment 3% global sales tax where revenue is received (Score 1) 86

The USA should just require all companies selling more than $1,000,000 in the USA to report their revenue / sales per country worldwide.

A 1% to x% tax on global top-line revenue paid to the USA government would prevent this income shifting between tax jurisdictions, jurisdiction shopping, done only to reduce taxes paid.

That is a top-line revenue tax without deductions, amortization, writing off losses, writing off depreciation, writing off goodwill, deducting salaries and other expenses.

It would free up all the billions of wasted dollars, millions of work hours spent on non-productive ways to reduce taxes by the corporations.
