Naw. It was never true. There was a time in history were unions were powerful enough to force corporations to not screw over their workers though.

As you said, it was pretty much only the case for union jobs.

I mean if one of these guys started talking to me about the good parts of Mussolini’s regime. I’d stop and “listen”

As much as I agree that decent public transport is significantly preferable to autonomous cars, this video is a bit of a straw man argument.

Self driving cars will never beat trains/busses on efficiency. But that’s not why people like them. The major selling point is the illusion we can sustainably keep living in spread out suburbs.

Trains will not stop at the doorstep of your mcMansion. Trains will not allow you to comfortably carry your biweekly Costco shopping. Trains will not provide you the luxury of traveling from point A to B without ever having to come in contact with the plebs.

Unfortunately, he kind of admits as much in the end of the video. Where says that self driving cars will entrench suburbia and will work in sparsely populated areas.

He’d have been better off focusing on the economics of self driving cars. E.g. how the vegas hyper loop is an insanely expensive money sink, unneeded musk subsidy, and just plain doesn’t work.

Seeing as they’ve been around long enough to procreate, it’s likely that the household is not a ferocious user of TP.

Maybe they have a bidet.

So an injured migrant (how did he get injured?) was on the Mexican side of the border. Was approached by a guy on a motorcycle. And the Texas guard decided to shoot the guy? Because, according to the Texas Guard, e was trying to harm the migrant?

So… Obviously made up story to justify what is still an illegal act.

These guys have abandoned all pretense of adhering to the rule of law.

Tbf, the guy he’s writing about is batshit.

Dude is worth like a billion dollars. Why would he want to be talk show host?

Besides that the fact that running for pres, can theoretically be used as a springboard into conservative media, what was their argument?

The dude is right though. The most important part of being a programmer is designing an elegant solution. That requires talking the problem through, solliciting feedback, getting ideas… you meeting with ppl and talking to them.

The second most important part of being a programmer is realizing that you’re not doing this alone. Once again, you talking to colleagues to discuss what they can expect and when, likewise what you need and when.

Meetings are super important. Unless your a code monkey or if it’s office gossip or me having to spend an hour explaining why a job estimated to take 4 weeks will not be done next Friday. And no, “trying a little harder” or “realizing how important this to the client” isn’t going to change that.

Tbh, this is what I’m thinking. No way Prigozhin would just go back to Russia without an exit plan. Any sane person knows that accidental death is the only way this would end.

Why wait for Putin to kill you, if you could just do it yourself?

Alternatively, it would make sense if this is part of deal he made to call off the coup. Putin promises to fake kill him, Prigozhin promises to stay fake dead.

Took me second to remember who Bret Kavanaugh is. Then it me: the right wing rapist who likes beer. Yeah. This tracks.

Tbh, I thought they had already done that.

Tbf, when OP said “white trash” he was low-key referring to American fascists specifically.
