A reasonable response with worries we also share. Thanks for that.

I’m from Europe and don’t understand why this should not just be resolved with taxes on the companies.

The record profits of the companies are in my vision because the company does not have to do anything for the healthcare and pensions. So if the company does not have to care for it, but society requires it, this is where the government needs to act. Tax the companies and arrange healthcare and retirement stipends. This solves one issue by solving the other, allowing the company to keep doing what it’s doing without having to think about healthcare… that has been resolved.

Individuals then have retirement benefits and can use private retirement insurance to supplement this.

Sure, but with this change it’s becoming harder to see the advantage of VMware over hyperV with full lintegration to azure, and azure stack edge. A single interface to manage cloud and on prem that includes monitoring etc.

Sunk cost or not, with this change the companies need to move anyway so the immediate question is why not all the way? but I might be wrong.

Defense industry will make this happen if it’s viable. War industry drives much of this. So we will see

A few hundred losing their jobs is kinda misrepresenting the situation isn’t it. If you keep seeing each company by itself in terms of firings but then group the market as a whole in terms of people with money in the market.

It’s either a few thousand with money in the company vs the people fired from that company… Or the market vs all people fired in the market during these waves.

Plus… when you are one of the fired people the impact can be deeply impactful, in the US even as far as having no health insurance. While less profit does not have such an impact.

Microsoft hyperV and azure will keep munching on their business.

Unity is firing people as a result of a failed monetization attempt by the chief executive. I would argue the employees should have a case against the company and the chief executive. As this was so poorly implemented, fault could be argued.

Especially not now. With the Gaza war, The Houthi’s attacking shipping and US congress beholden to MAGA loons, his chances are looking up. Befriending Iran was an excellent choice, they had some cards up their sleeve to destabilize the middle east that could be played now. I wonder how long it will be before we see an Iranian nuclear test.
