I always wondered if evolution through natural selection has essentially halted for humans for the most part. My thinking is even the previously most likely to die before child bearing has been reversed by modern society. Given that it happens at such a long time scale and modern humans and technology hasn't be around that long in the grand scheme of things it's probably not true, but I always found it interesting...
Sorry, I don't know him and have never met him. Never even went to a Mavericks game.
I don't even know if a comparable number of positive or negative comments are to be expected.
But he does seem as real a billionaire as you can get, and pretty level-headed when I see him on Shark Tank.
Something really impressive when I found out about it was the dedication to fighting for lowered prescription drug prices. This has truly been completely impossible forever up until he took some action, looks like no one with adequate wherewithal made any effort before. It may not be very completely possible yet, but it's surely less-impossible now and that's a move in the right direction.
I guess I do kind of favor it a bit when people make the impossible possible.
"So, we’re asking each s-team organization to increase the ratio of individual contributors to managers by at least 15% by the end of Q1 2025.." .. manager layoffs coming too.
A large pharma company which I worked for until quitting in July went through a similar process this year. The goal was also to reduce the manager / IC ratio - organizational efficiency and span of control, they called it - but in most instances it were ICs who were laid off while their managers were simply relegated to ICs.
Would you not agree that there are people behind the economic damage? Just calling it hurting corporations dehumanizes the automotive works that have been put out of work due to the temporary plant closures that the blockade has caused.
The thing is, if you don't disrupt the chain, status quo is maintained.
...This is also why JIT logistics is incredibly fragile. Our economic sects have been shirking the inherent risk of long tail disruptive events for the better part of my life.
There is a certain schadenfreude to seeing the come-uppances.
