Go read the article again. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

What's up with that?

Why would you rather build SUVs for soccer moms than race cars?

Ah yes, the economy.

Sod people. Won't somebody think of the LLCs!!!

The sheer impudence of workers demanding money for their work and whining about rent.

There are shareholders over here who don't even have a megayacht to sit around on all day.

Differs from country to country. In DE, salaried employees still have a number of hours/week in their contract (usually ~38) and are expected to log overtime and later take time in lieu. Max. permissible work hours per week is 48.

There are a bunch of exceptions for specific jobs.

The working hours, comp+ben etc. are usually determined by collective agreement with unions.

Pay for the same job can vary dramatically depending on which union your employer has a collective agreement with.

I know several people who got 25-30% pay rises just by moving to another part of the company that had an agreement with IG Metall instead of ver.di.

On what? The EU doesn't levy any taxes and has no authority to.

The reason they're paying with grants is because that's what they've got.

It was in their store.

How is selling fake investment apps different to selling fake sneakers?

[ethbr1 → deanishe]

Because an app store will always be a bazaar. No one is doing full human code review on apps.

To pretend otherwise is insane. (Even by appealing to app store monopolies or fees, which are immaterial to due diligence responsibility here)

This wasn't a case of the lady giving $5M to Google for fake crypto.

It was more like Google selling her a phone, then her dialing one of the preset numbers on that phone and getting scammed.
