Congress likes to be able to abdicate their responsibility and just pass it on to the president.

mmm, kinda seems like you're trying to attack the argument by going after a trivial part of it.

Number 4 isn't really a wat, it's just a design choice. other languages offer maps that do retain order.

> It's an overlooked revolution! wat? Go is maybe past peak hype, but it dominates in the cloud/containers space and is massively popular. I don't like it, but this statement still seems odd.

Yeah but he's the cool bro CEO of a tech company. TECH COMPANY. Losing money, it's okay because Tesla is a tech company. Fail at core parts of a car manufacturing business, it's okay because Tesla is a tech company. Call a pe

Kinda interesting a CEO of a company with federal contracts can smoke weed and won't face any repercussions.

Does the tesla fan really want to get in to an argument about build quality right now? A fire at a factory shutting it down is not hte same type of drama as constantly missing estimates and using a tent to extend the line.

They had already rejected me, so who cares. Though I do appreciate your well cultivated sense of suspicion and cynicism. Keep it up!

Amazon will do that the minute the math works out anyway. Encouraging workers to put up with worse and worse conditions out of fear of automation is just a race to the bottom that inevitably ends with automation anyway.

Oh I totally agree with the statement when restricted to people like the author. Even then it depends on the definition of "undermining". I think the author is cowardly, disingenuous, and dangerous.

Workers had a good relationship with the employer previously. Company gets bought by Amazon, a company with a notorious reputation. Workers decide not long after that they now need a union to protect their interests. Perception wise, that s

It's a coop, that's what they do. FWIW the dividend is pretty nice. Combined with the sale I saved a pretty solid chunk of money on a nice cooler.

ha, I had a job interview recently and they had me do a take home thing. They offered to pay me for it, just a few hundred dollars for the time I put in. That's cool. But in the email they asked if I wanted the money, or I could donate

Good timing, last thing Amazon will want right now is a battle with a union. Especially for a company they acquired so recently (shows that things got quickly worse with Amazon in charge). Good luck Whole Foods workers.

Honestly, I would worry that the idea of a compensation package based mostly around bonuses just leads to a massive amount of infighting and politicking and other nastiness from people jockeying for an extra 20k. If I get stuck doing some b

I agree, but I'm a lot more fine with disruption, delays, and anything constitutionally allowed coming from outside the executive branch.

No, I'm saying "don't undermine the president" applies, at most, to the people in the executive branch of the government.

if he's actually deranged and incompetent to the point of being unable to handle the presidency they have the option of the 25th amendment. But they obviously do not actually believe that.

These people aren't protecting the country, if you believe that. They are enabling a dangerous man to continue in one of the most powerful offices on the planet, because they refuse to stand up and tell the truth about the matter.

Why should any politician get to write an anonymous "covering my ass" style article like this?

Probably, but I doubt they even do that. Is google the worst company around when it comes to this sort of almost faux open source?

> They really have just lived long enough to become the villain People throwing this line out has ruined the dark knight for me. Anyway, you're exactly right. It's textbook EEE. Their behaviour with Android is also pretty bad.
