It baffles me that in the US you can throw an employee out on a day-to-day basis and there's so little job security. In EU countries I know, this can only happen with some out-of-the-books cheap labor employment. Stronger laws protect employees, not businesses.

US? Little job security, hospitals you want to stay out of due to life-destroying costs, ultra high homelessness, little safety overall and the "American Dream" being reserved for sociopaths with no empathy nor morals.

I'm not a SEO "writer" who produces longish texts to transmit a short message.

From my perspective, privacy seems important to this community. At least some participants aren't capitalists focused on squeezing every cent from users.

Upvotes my comment gained before you saw it tell me that not all users of this forum found it to be unsubstantive. But of course you're the judge.

For big corp, illegal means possible increase of costs of doing business to a value calculated in advance.

You'd have to assume good faith such as that the device won't connect to some insecure WiFi when one becomes available.

I have found[1] the government research grant program "Intelligent Development Operational Program for the years 2014-2020" ("Programu Operacyjnego Inteligentny Rozwój 2014- 2020 działanie 1.2") and funding number/code "POIR.01.02.00-00-0105/16" but am Ill-equipped to search surrounding[2] PDFs for penalties.

It was, and still is, my assumption that there are penalties.

Also, this seems to be another grant - "City Creation" is documented separately[1] and with different amounts from "Animation Excellence", "Cinematic Feel" and "Seamless Multiplayer"[3]

They received some AI-related grant[1] from the local government and did whatever they could to avoid penalties.

> You realize that they've already repeatedly said they'd "bail out" people and groups affected by this?

I wouldn't be surprised if this would only cover domestic bond owners.

> Can someone here enlighten me how a default can be "contagious"?

The 2010 movie "Inside Job"[1] about financial crisis in US presents real-life examples, starting with the Icelandic financial crisis.

There is also this Warren Buffet interview[2] which presents his unique viewpoint on what happened in the US around the time Lehman Brothers defaulted in 2008. You probably won't gain any knowledge from it other(edit) than how the financial sector assigns blame.

edit: word "other" added in previous paragraph

I truly have thought that Xi would keep his ability to shake US market for longer.
