We don’t live in pure form of either. We live in a hybrid environment within a spectrum. So this binary poll is BS

And that’s the BS. Half of our taken for granted stuff is socialism. The debate is on the stuff that isn’t. And that too in the context of US for things like food shelter and food is at best socialism with some hurdles. So the survey presenting a binary option is BS. I’m not adjudicating the polling of the participants but the laziness of the poll takers in treating it as one of the either. It’s kinda polling what’s more important to you, air or water.

Survey says: your polling population understands neither capitalism nor socialism.

Not asking for a reason. If I take data at face value, less people believed in capitalism but voted for it (at least from a brand perspective).

When neoconservatism restores its proper position ahead of populism, we will revert to the mean. My neocon take is - patience. Pendulums swing and take a while to correct, but they always come back. Wait for it.

Leftist overreach in what way? Conservatives have been shredding the constitution, regulations, government, and free market in favor of their friends, those who pay them, and whoever tickles Trumps balls with enough bribes and flattery.

The poor and middle class are being decimated by maga policies, not to mention our businesses (tariffs, uncertainty) and international standing in most respects. What you’re enjoying is propaganda.

Serious answer: there is no perfect solution. reality is the ability to draw on both ways of thinking to address current economic trends, espescially in technology.

Cheeky answer: socialism is when government controls the means of production, right? That’d like the government taking a 10% stake in a publicly traded company that was our key to technology. Any president who did that would be socialist, right

Even right wingers have acknowledged this. Basically it comes down to fewer abilities to actually build capital.

Only as good as the poll takers

Idgaf. All I know is I came from Venezuela and I do not want socialism here.

Junior associate here, should I ask for more money if my firm is about 10-15 percent less hours but about 30 percent less pay?

Would appreciate any thoughts on how to go about bringing this up without pissing people off because I love the firm and do not want to leave

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.

Also, are there any provisions you’d consider absolutely crucial from the owner’s side?

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
