mila kunis posted:is there a good writeup on how china handled covid? not in terms of social distancing or quarantine, but economically. like how they went about UBI/bailouts/nationalizations if any, or did they let people just go broke and hungry like the usa? not really sure the answer to this but in general in china all the details are very different regionally. every province and city has a lot of leeway in how they implement different systems so id expect such a write up doesn’t really exist i saw some places were distributing food directly to housing communities, some places did nothing of the sort. some places were aggressive in making sure stores weren’t jacking up the prices of essentials but it wouldn’t surprise me if that happened anyway in smaller cities especially china also already nationalized tons of large companies anyway. i heard about mortgage freezes in some places but home ownership rates in china are generally very high and mortgages are a fairly recent thing, with proportionally more people living in houses they own outright and as mentioned above people in china tend to save a lot and avoid going into debt in the first place that said i do know a few people who have lost their jobs. haven’t seen any figures on it but estimates ive heard are saying the unemployment rate is historically high right now

BUG JUG posted:Management just sent out an email telling us how horny they are for us to come back to the office. They have come up with an innovative idea: have managers go around and take every employee's temperature daily. why not just have a guy standing at the front door with an ir thermometer, testing everyone going into the building

Horseshoe theory posted:Borrowing with collateral only works if your stock doesn't end up making GBS threads the bed like Theranos, WeWork, etc., which could trigger call provisions in the loans. So, for example, if you're Jeff Bezos and use some Amazon stock as collateral, a loan is as fungible as selling the equity for cash since banks will treat it the same and you won't trigger the call provisions, but if you're Holmes or Neumann, you can get owned pretty hilariously if the value of the collateral craters (which is what happened - Neumann is currently litigating with Masa Son/Softbank about Son basically not backstopping his loans right now and IIRC part of Holmes' criminal fraud charges may have been bank fraud/wire fraud-related to certain loans). id offload it all at once because either way you’re gonna be rich and never have to work again, who cares

No bid COVID posted:Have any of you bitching about hiring ever actually tried to do it? I've sorted through 100 "maybe" resumes over the past two weeks, thrown out 50 because of obvious problems, another 30 on a closer look for skills, and talked to 10 of the remaining 20 thus far only to conclude that 8 of them have either inflated their resumes a lot, retained a surprisingly little amount of knowledge from their jobs, or simply interview so poorly it's unassessable. yes but ive never been on the hr side. after doing interviews for years im convinced that all the resumes and interview processes are measuring for something very loosely correlated with how good the person would be in the job, if correlated at all.
