It's almost like raising prices without improving the service causes people to cancel 🤔

Depends on how fast your car goes.
Not the mandatory volunteering to help plan, execute, and clean up after the optional mandatory after-work in-office no-alcohol team building event?
Unscaled fines punish people for being poor, because the punishment is a larger percentage of their disposable income.
Why should a poor person pay a fine of 30% of their monthly take home, while a rich enough person pays 5% (or less?) of their take home for the same infraction.
The only fair solution is for the fine to amount to an equal percent of your take home pay. Then it is the same punishment for everyone.
I mean, he is actively cutting the SEC for his own scamy benefit, he is tanking the dollar, he is ruining the economy, he is defenestrating the rule of law and due process, and he is doing his best to overthrow the federal reserve. Also, Republicans kind of hate a lot of the companies in the Mag 7 and are all on board for antitrust suits against woke oligopolies. If equities are investments you hold for the long haul, regardless of how the US has done in the past, how can you see current actions working out well for investment in the future?
Get off the American meme stock market rocket, chances are growing it will do a SpaceX to your investments.
University budgets are hard, even in a petro state. Gotta get that international student tuition at 10x the rate of domestic tuition to make sure they can pay for such things as are fundamental to the essential function of scholarship and higher learning:
- the university President's 2nd private jet
- lobbyists to help protect academic journals that publish research paid for by public dollars for enormous profit
- many consultants that do important things like rebrand the university logo every years

That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on.
No, vacation is typically paid time off, your position is still yours when you return, and your pay progression/seniority/benefits/etc at least pick up where you left off.
Retirement is unpaid (after 12-18 months you would not get a meaningful pension), and since your relationship with the company is over they are free to hire someone else into your position and they have no obligations to you regarding any other work benefit or convention.
Micro-retirement sounds like a fun way to avoid paying vacation and providing job stability, similar to using "independent contractor" instead of "employee" to avoid employment standards.
The best time was then, the second best time is now.
Technological development can destroy our sense of ourselves as rational, coherent subjects, leading to widespread suffering and destruction. But tools can also provide us with a new sense of what it means to be human, leading to new modes of expression and cultural practices.
Technology, for better or worse, affects every aspect of our lives. Our very sense of who we are is shaped and reshaped by the tools we have at our disposal.
The problem, for Stiegler, is that when we pay too much attention to our tools, rather than how they are developed and deployed, we fail to understand our reality. We become trapped, merely describing the technological world on its own terms and making it even harder to untangle the effects of digital technologies and our everyday experiences.
By encouraging us to pay closer attention to this world-making capacity, with its potential to harm and heal, Stiegler is showing us what else is possible.
