"It's the economy, stupid." I don't know why we need to be so dramatic about AI and automation. The reason you're not getting hired is because there's not enough positions and we have a huge amount of people in

What’s the benefit of a smaller independent platform? They can be just as problematic… I’m not sure if you’re just fantasizing about the “good old days” of phpbb or something.

Arguing with someone like this is just pointless. You'd argue over whether the sky is blue. You're in denial about basic tangible realities. Damn, first time I'm hearing that women can't choose their majors in college b

Yeah, says it right there: women choose lower paying professions. That’s literally all it is. The pay gap mostly has to do with what careers women choose. Most men and women earn the same given the same credentials, years of experience, and

The three issues that I think affect men more: 1. blue collar jobs (mostly men) aren’t abundant. Simply put, we’re not building much of anything in the US. So, why would they be. Tech is mostly men but is importing most of the labor (at lea

I think there needs to be some moderation here because Meta clearly does offer useful ads to consumers, otherwise it wouldn’t have so much insane revenue from ads. If people don’t find the ads useful then they won’t click on them or give th

I left nyc a couple months ago after living there for three years. The city has so many issues and something only someone like Mamdani (with good support) could fix. It’s been said that it’s impossible for a New York City mayor to be uncorr

I see the supporter being nihilistic and purely out for revenge. I don’t see that with people in positions of power. They’re looking to line their pockets and they’ll take advantage of a vengeful constituency. True of both major parties. Th

Have you seen how fries are made at McDonald’s? There’s nearly zero labor involved. It’s nearly automated. You’re paying that price cause that’s what the market will bear and McDonald’s needs to see profits go up.

Couldn’t do worse than the grocery stores in nyc that already exist. Terrible service, horrendous price, bad inventory, etc. I did all my groceries in nyc via Amazon fresh for the last two years because of this.

I don't really know how this is any different now from the 1990s. I think there is a sense of bottom level on price they'll take for a job due to litigation/insurance concerns. But, handymen are what should be doing a lot of

Same with people who try to act generously but then surprisingly throw a large bill your direction. I’ve been victim to this behavior a few times and I’ve cut those people out after every offense. No surprise, these people don’t tend to hav

It’s a public company, not run directly by the government. It has a monopoly dictated by the CA government. They have no interest in doing good service but instead in making money. They don’t have to really answer to anyone. Supposedly the

In what companies are you speaking of? In Silicon Valley, we fire people very quickly as soon as notice it’s not a correctable problem. Hell, sometimes even when it is correctable.
