Oh ok, what would you replace them with?
politics: green/libertarian
geo: anti-r***ia, anti-religious extremism, anti-fascist, anti-trump
gaming since 1986
linuxing since 1996
psych: drinking too much coffee, wasting too much time and energy in here
Oh ok, what would you replace them with?
What kind of regulation would you have applied in this case?
What do you mean?
What are you suggesting? That corporations shouldn’t hire and fire people or that corporations shouldn’t exist at all? What would replace them?
Statistical detail: Unity had about 4000 employees in 2020, apparently 7200 before these layoffs. So they’re now going down to 5400, which is roughly their 2021 numbers.
why we’re here.
Where?
edit I’m seriously asking. What is extraordinary about this?
edit Also,
Let’s make it easier to kill the companies that do this shit.
What do you think killing a company does to its employees?
So you’re calling for 100% layoffs?
Ukraine doesn’t use human shield tactics, and Ukraine population density is like 100 times less than Gaza’s. So that might explain some of it. But the wars are completely different in many other ways as well. In Ukraine there are clear front lines, and Ukraine has been successful in not letting Russia completely screw over every part of their country, at a huge cost in soldier deaths. The cities where Russia did invade are shot to hell and civilian massacre figures are similar to Gaza.
If we speak about morality, Russia was not threatened by Ukraine, whereas Israel is constantly being threatened by Hamas and many of its neighbors. Ukraine did not start the war, Russia did in 2014. Hamas started the war against Israel.
Also, Hamas is not reporting how many of those 22,600 were combatants. It’s certainly not all of them, but is certainly more than 0.

As for how many are “actual civilians” the way that is being reported currently heavily favors the narrative of the occupation because the assumption is simply that all males over the age of 13 are combatants, and even using this absurd framing around 61% of those killed are women and children. The occupation forces have proportionately killed more journalists and UN aid workers than in any other conflict in recent history.
Sure, perhaps, but the number of Hamas deaths is certainly higher than 0. Would be interesting to know the actual number, however impossible such a figure is to get in this situation.
History will judge Israel and its supporters harshly.
Eh. We’ll see.
Ok, my source was perhaps fucked.
1.1% is about the same as Bucha.
Dunno how you calculated that, but if the 22600 figure is correct, it’s 2.8%. Gaza population is currently 800,636 (edit I guess this is could be an estimate, not an exact figure). Still growing even with this war, apparently. edit2 <= junk figures based on shit source I guess.
Against Palestine population it’s 0.4%.
Does Hamas report itself how many of its soldiers are in that 22600, or is it claiming that all of these fatalities are actual civilians?
Red pill. Perhaps I wouldn’t gain $10 million with my current knowledge but I sure would get some underage wait what are we talking about exactly
What a boon it would be if CCP would agree to join Taiwan finally and join this dumb bickering that has lasted since 1949. Not sure how the Chinese people who have been brainwashed to think their system is better would take that, though.
Not sure why this would happen when Valve doesn’t need any extra money from the markets, and is privately owned. Gabe owns >50%, rest is apparently Valve’s employees and execs. Gabe is divorced, has two sons, so I suppose that 50% goes to those guys. So I guess it depends how much the brothers think they need cash.
Yeah, fair enough. I’ll keep my comment up as a permanent record of my stupidity.
Well ok. If we’ll look instead of an example where the government is actively trying to kill people, https://www.shahit.biz/eng/ lists about 77k victims in the Uyghur Genocide.
Well, currently you guys in US (and also we in EU in many ways) seem to have two styles of governing corporations: bailouts & less regulation and bailouts & more regulation. I agree that less regulation combined with bailouts is worst of all worlds. We should have no bailouts and as little regulation as possible.
Not that bailouts have anything to do with Unity really, it was just the most immediate thing I remembered that clearly doesn’t work well with less regulation as demonstrated by subprime mortgages in late 2010s for instance.
