Google earned $26.5B last quarter, a mere 27.5% profit margin, and they’re doing layoffs today and have a founder telling people they need to work 60 hour weeks.
Imagine having all the resources and talent you could ever ask for, just a tectonic amount of skill and infrastructure behind you in a world that looks like this one does, and having no idea what to do with any of that at all beyond making a line go up for people who don’t even work there.
It's so sad. It's just so god damn sad.
@mhoye I got some insight into why this happens by playing Skyrim. I wrote briefly about it at https://reprog.wordpress.com/2019/07/10/what-skyrim-taught-me-about-wealth/
@mike I have often wished that there were charities in Skyrim. Why can't I donate to the (post-Grelod) orphanage? Why isn't there a Windhelm Association for the Advancement of Argonians or a group cleaning up the Gray Quarter?
@mjd Nice idea!
