"The more America's CEOs can unlock the gift of remote work, however "soft" or insufficiently "hardcore" it may feel to them, the stronger and more profitable their companies will be."

@freemo That's what YOU'RE talking about.

@nerthos @freemo Let me ban the shitposter.club domain right quick.

"A lot of otherwise talented people are too pessimistic to actually do anything. They are paralyzed by risks that don’t exist and greatly exaggerate them where they do, preventing them from being one of the best."

@freemo I thought we were talking about guns. So, I'm going to continue to talk about guns.

People don't need guns and shouldn't have easy access to them. Japan does not have a citizenry with access to guns, therefore, they do not have much gun violence. It's a simple argument.

"In hopes of rallying the troops, Clarke took the time to pay special attention to one employee who had sold the family dog as a result of his decision, describing it as an example of the “sacrifices that are being made”"

@Free_Press Oh course, that dude's from Philly. Floridians better recognize that Philly people are by far the toughest people in that soft, weak, fake state. Y'all should make him governor!

@freemo Simply put, it's WAY easier to kill someone with a gun than a knife, that's why there are so many acts of gun violence in America.

If that means mentally ill people do other things, that's something that might happen. That doesn't mean you do nothing.

@freemo It's difficult to enact this Japanese solution b/c school kids are being slaughtered and no action is being taken. It's a matter of political will AND donor focus. If the big donors and PACs and dark PACs all decided to enact the Japanese solution, that would make a huge difference.

@freemo It's "common sense gun control" and not what I would do. I would do what Japan did. That will take a giant effort, and takes small steps at first.

"In 2018, Japan, a country of 125 million people, only reported nine deaths from firearms – compared with 39,740 that year in the United States, according to data compiled by the Sydney School of Public Health at the University of Sydney."

@freemo This is a start.

" HB 731 to require that guns be stored safely in the home to prevent school shootings, youth suicide, and unintentional shootings;
- HB 338 to require the reporting of lost and stolen firearms to cut the number of illegal guns fueling violence in our communities;
- HB 1018 to create Extreme Risk Protection Orders to prevent firearm suicides, mass shootings, and domestic violence;
- HB 714 to enact universal background checks so that weapons of war don't end up in the wrong hands."
