You know you can get a no-fee checking account from Capital One or SoFi or others, and then use their bill-pay systems to pay all of your bills (even ones that require a paper check, which they will send on your behalf) for absolutely nothing, right? You could go from paying money for stamps to paying... nothing at all.

I pay literally nothing in bank fees every year, and end up having to write a check maybe... twice? Usually to a low-end specialty contractor.

That's just the nature of the work though. If the CEO of a film camera business decided that digital cameras weren't going to be a thing, and refuses to pivot, that'll doom the company, but it'll take decades to realize his mistake. The company will lose all its money all the same. If the CEO of the car company decides not to build any factories to make electric vehicles, that decision's also going to take years to play out. They're both important, in different ways.
> It's more like using the power of government to ensure the company has no alternative to the union.

Unions absolutely do not need the government to exist. It is only through government attempts to control and curtail unions that the government has involved itself in unions.

> the problem is the state isn't attractive to the next generation

Part of the problem is that brain drain is a vicious cycle. Your home state is less attractive in part because of all the people in your field who left for "greener pastures".

And they have less funds to put into projects that might make the area more attractive, because they can't tax the people who left.

I'm not saying you owe anything out of your paycheck, but it is a problem. Both for the places being left and the overcrowded cities people are leaving to.

Yeah... my parents moved to us when we moved to a place we could afford housing. And this is what I mean by 'nuclear families beget extended families'. If you have a close family, they will want to be together. My parents knew we could never live where we grew up. Thus, they made plans to follow us as (1) we are a young family and I (the sole breadwinner) needs to be in a place where I can work and buy a house and (2) they are older and have made their money and are more adaptable. As it stands, most people can do this because most parents are having two children. My brother moved to another area, but his wife's family (and hers is much bigger than ours... layer upon layer of nuclear families to back them up) is there, so as it stands, we are both well covered by family.

I think it really depends on the church, and in my case I was talking about African-American dominant churches. So there may be a stronger sense of community there than the White Catholic churches.

For me, it was sort of in-between. There wasn't a church-wide breakfast except for some small snacks during the big days (Easter Sunday and Christmas). But there was plenty of donation drives that would provide food for lower income families in the area. And you very much had a chance to worship and ask for a specific blessing, sometimes in a very public manner (This Boondocks clip is surprising accurate portrayal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtP7cbbAFLA)

> If all the church community is via volunteer charity actions, just volunteer directly unaffiliated with a religion.

That's the thing, I have tried. But in my experience, volunteer work to meet friends is fleeting. You won't be making a few deep connections even if you do your best to come every week, you'll see a revolving door of people who may only come once or twice. At least among my age group, there isn't much consistency in participation.

And that fleeting, revolving door seems to be theme of modern adult life. I don't know what in particular made the same people come to pray for some higher being every week, but it's something I haven't seen in any other attempt to meet people in my adult life.

> Different workers in different nations have different cultures and compete with each other for a scarce supply of buyers.

This is a description of the status quo of capitalist competition, but is not a fact of nature. We can arrange our economies to work in cooperation with one another, rather than in competition. Competition is used specifically to depress all worker wages for the benefit of the ownership class, and we do not have to accept that at face value.
So, what are the actual limits?

> McDonalds had $1.9B in profit in 2022

Out of curiosity, what does that mean? It appears to me the main business of McDonald's is to collect franchising fees. Most McDonald's fast food joints (93%) are owned and operated by independent local business owners, who have to pay McDonald's-the-company the frinchising fees, which are about $45k/year [1].

So, I can see how McDonald's, the company, can be highly profitable, while individual stores could be barely surviving.

gross growth should be less important than relative growth.

From 2013 to 2023 GM was beat in innovation by both Tesla (Model s,X , Y, and 3) and Ford (aluminum f150 and electric f150, mustang mach e) and has only recently been producing vehicles that look like their 2030 lineup - on the competitor's charging network technologies.

GM was even particularly slow on ice adoption of things like independent rear suspension. Or, the Corvette - where they basically pulled a Nissan and bought the competitor's engine.

Slow to innovate, early to fail (Volt/bolt), purchase from the competition is not what we should define as a good CEO.
Like Carly Fiorina? The pay for CEOs is set by the board, and the board of most large companies is made up of CEO's from other large companies. It's the private equivalent of plutocracy.

> If you have a bunch of executive experience, maybe you'd be able to replicate that CEO's performance, but absent that it's more likely you'd cause more harm than just not making the goal.

I doubt this is true. Organisations have inertia, and getting one to change direction or do something different is remarkably difficult. (source: I have been hired as a CEO to change the direction of an organisation. It was difficult).

I strongly suspect that an average person being put into the CEO role would do fine as long as the organisation was basically OK. They'd make mistakes, sure, but everyone makes mistakes. The organisation has ways of limiting the damage of mistakes.

The hard bit about being CEO is taking full responsibility for your decisions with no feedback. You can deal with this in a wide variety of ways; arrogance, narcissism, authoritarianism, or humility, honesty, and teamwork. We tend to see the first three because those kinds of personalities cope well with this kind of difficulty. But that doesn't mean this is the best way to deal with it.
> I'm looking at the top CEO salaries and I'm already at $2.6B and I'm only at number 20.

No. There is no financial stress in a CEOs life. The CEO that can't afford private yacht lessons for their daughter is not the same as the single mom working 2 jobs to feed her children. Stop drawing a false equivalency.
Some executives are as you say. In general, those companies which are lead by executives like that are leaders and produce high quality and innovative products that people love.

But many execs are not. They work just as obsessively as the first type, but only to increase their own power inside of the organization, at the expense of the organization's cohesion, trust, productivity, and quality. They live in a bubble, totally disconnected from the organization's purpose. They make strategic mistakes over and over again. They fail to truly understand why even a single dollar of revenue happens; instead they take it as a given that the money is coming in and only think of ways their unit can siphon off more of it, at the expense of all the others.

If just one of these type 2's enters your organization, you can typically get by, as long as you recognize them quickly enough. If even a small handful enter your C-suite, they will metastasize, cause your type 1's to leave, and put your org on a death spiral.

Many execs are of the second type. You can tell: if you use a product or service, and it sucks, that's probably what's going on at the top.
There was a time when Unity leaned heavily on UnityScript. The manual defaulted to it, the sample projects all used it, most tutorials used it and so did most of the asset store.

As Unity continued to change more from a hobbiest game engine to one used by professionals, things changed and C# became the default.

It’s not entirely on the media for using these headline numbers. The Unions like these numbers being used. It sounds better to their members that they’re getting a 40% pay rise.

> Suppose I ask ChatGPT to "tell me some jokes in the style of Louis CK". Would that make me less likely to stream a Louis CK comedy special?

I think you are thinking too narrowly.

Many or most well-known comedians have people write for them. Those writers are to be out of the job because the results of their work were fed into an LLM and now Louis CK will pay MS for it.

Companies who used to pay skilful writers now will pay MS, who trained its AI on works by those skilful writers without asking them. They are out of the job too.

Affordability ratio is not the reason young people are moving to NYC.

More likely, the issue is 1) the jobs in NYC simply don't exist in WV, and never will, and 2) even if the WV person is comparing similar jobs, WV will never offer the lifestyle that NYC offers.
