To anyone who is seriously considering paying $250 an hour for someone who isn't guaranteeing they will deliver anything--
I will personally quit my job and sign a contract with you that clearly defines what will be delivered by what date, if you are willing to pay flat rate of $X.
You will not pay until after you accept delivery of the system.
Just wait until you discover what the government is paying McKinsey (and the likes) for their services. Hourly rates starting at $500, growing up into the thousands.
Objectively, this is true. Whether the intent is to actually have a conference or not, the real outcome is that employees are A) in a different location and B) the trip is written off as an expense.
Objectively. It is impossible to say that this is not what is happening. It's like saying "The Sun does not shine." It absolutely does shine. We don't know what the motive was for it to shine, but objectively, it is shining.
It would be very unfair for Boeing to offer 1 week per year served if you leave voluntarily, and then revoke that payment if they forcibly lay you off.
At $OLD_TECH_CORPORATION_MAKING_DATABASES, we received one week per year served after being forced out, plus an additional "free month" of pay as well.
sure, but the reality is that in the beginning of layoffs they will have larger reserves available for severance. As economic hardships mount those reserves will dwindle. Companies pretty much stopped caring about fair a long time ago unless you are lucky enough to have reached the C-Suite. Some companies alter the severance package based on nothing but how much your VP level officer likes you.
I was typing out a really long response to you with many if...then statements, but then I realized there are too many powerful agencies and institutions that don't want to give up their ability to tax/spend. Medicaid/Medicare, Social Security, IRS, all 50 states etc have defined (and flawed processes) and probably will refuse to give up control over welfare spending or tax revenue generation.
So if you can't completely start from scratch, then ultimately the only source of revenue for UBI would be to cut spending somehow (good luck convincing the Pentagon of that), or to generate additional taxation on businesses (which resulted in them moving crucial facilities to Mexico, Eastern Europe, India, China, etc)
At some point, the USA might be better off if we all have a dividend for every citizen based on our country's profit, like Alaska has currently.
This way it is not a guarantee how much you will make, but it is something.
First off, it doesn't have to be funded. We have a fiat currency. However the extent that new dollars are to be offset because of fear of inflation (not an immediate concern given current deflationary trends), the a partial offset via a VAT tax could work.
I'm another native speaker who graduated high school more by dint of luck and pity than for any other reason, and then went to work instead of college. Between the context and the similarity with the adjective "subservient", "subserves" proved trivial to parse, and I haven't yet been able to come up with another expression of the same concept that is also as concise. In any case, it seems unlikely that educational attainment is all that useful an indicator here.
In general writing, your point has merit. In the title of an academic paper published in a journal of philosophy, I don't know that the strictures and desiderata of general writing wholly apply.
"A hypothesis that if one touches their face, they are more likely to smell themselves as well"
is an infinitely clearer title, in my opinion.
If your goal is for only 5 people to understand you and think you are cool, then it's no surprise why we have academic titles like
"Embodied intersectionality and the intersectional management of hotel labour: the everyday experiences of social differentiation in customer‐oriented work"
The purpose of academic publication is to communicate with others in the same field, where the terminology of art is shared among all. Not having acquainted yourself with a given field's specific lexicon, why would you expect to understand without effort the meaning of titles that make heavy use of it?
For that matter, not being a participant in the work of which these publications constitute a part, why insist that those who do participate in it to talk with one another in the same language they'd use to make their work understandable to a lay audience such as yourself?
None of this seems very reasonable to me. You've done a splendid job of making clear that you value your own opinion in such matters quite highly, but you've left much to be desired in explaining why anyone else should do the same.
I'd have gone with "supports", maybe, but the connotation is different; "subserves" says self-smelling is a major purpose of self-face-touching, "supports" suggests the association may be coincidental. Since the paper's claim appears to be the former, it makes sense to use the stronger word in the title, too.
Lots of people use Jira for non programming related things. One of the guys who works at Jira used it to assign tasks to the family for preparation of thanksgiving dinner :)
Businesses should absolutely have the right to not let you use their services for any arbitrary reason! It's a free market! Sucks to be you!
