Nah she’s talking about the ATS systems that filter through all the applicants’ resumes looking for the ones with the highest amount of matching keywords so they can get the number of applicants down to a more reasonable number to interview.

They don’t care if their bots don’t work for your PDF resume because they get so many applicants it doesn’t matter.

I’m surprised this isn’t common knowledge for jobseekers.

There’s quite a few landlord MPs in Canada as well

I’m surprised there’s so few mentions of AWS in this thread. It’s a huge profit centre for the company and a large portion of the internet is now running off of it. AWS is basically the internet’s landlord now, and the profits generated from being the most popular cloud service provider globally are probably why they can afford to invest so heavily into their logistics infrastructure and retail that people are more familiar with.

Norway has a population of around 5 million in an area the size of 385 thousand sq km. As of the 2021 census, the territories have a combined population of around 117 thousand people in an area just under 3.6 million sq km.

The difference of scale there is massive. Kudos to Norway if they’ve done a good job extending their fibre networks, but I sincerely doubt we’ll be able to achieve anywhere near the same level of penetration in the most environmentally harsh and most rural areas of our country with just fibre technologies.

You can’t reach everywhere with fibre. Some areas of the far north are too remote and too sparsely populated for it to ever make sense to put in fibre, and it will remain that way for the foreseeable future.

This deal provides critical infrastructure to those places while not binding us to the whims of an egotistical fascist asshole.

It’s the carbon tax and carbon rebate in Canada. When paired with a carbon tariff, it’s a great market friendly solution to reduce emissions. Beware though, it really really triggers regressive petrosexual conservatives and the ones in Canada keep trying to trigger an election over it so they can get rid of it ASAP and pollute more.

Single payer is preferable, just want to point out that healthcare coops are another option

So the boards should be reformed and have equal parts worker/union, patient, and shareholder representation.

China was considered a developing country with cheaper rates for a long time by the Universal Postal Union, an international agreement that sets the rates for postage. The agreement was renegotiated recently so maybe that will change.

What’s your logic for treating it separately? The tracks and roads both serve as infrastructure to move people and goods around, yet the public owns only roads.

We could keep more train conductors employed too if we had a fairer access system for tracks.

We don’t allow freight and logistics companies to own highways, so we do we still let them own track?

The public should own the tracks. Rail companies should be freed to focus on competing for cargo and passengers.
