Plastic, at the time, was simply better. It is lighter, not brittle, and cheap to mass-produce. Shipping costs are greatly reduced. Consumers benefit from cheaper pricing, companies get better margins, everyone wins. Now we see the external

Trump had 2 halls of congress and the presidency and didn't get it done the first time, he won't now, especially since he can use them again.

Look how many flights are from east coast city to east coast city. Just eliminating these would be massive. But our rail system is outdated, our government won't allow realistic trains to be built. We don't need a million stops. W

This is the problem today. Everyone says they want free speech. But deep down they don't. Some don't want gay marriage written in books, and some don't want anti-vaxxers to post misinformation. Those are 2 sides of the same c

I don't see how letting governments regulate social media is in any way good. I don't know how anyone who is "libertarian" can now support this initiative of government overreach. Imagine creating a forum and now the Flo

Phone companies are a pipe - the content isn't broadcast publicly like it is on social networks, so that argument isn't logically consistent. Phone companies have no need to moderate content. Social media is akin to paying for a s

Do you think you have the right to go into a newspaper's office and force them to print speech that supports your point of view? That's what you're arguing for. The government regulating speech is a violation of the first ame

It 100% isn't, born and raised. It's nothing like or Indianapolis. The topography and history are completely different. Not northeastern != midwest. Pittsburgh has far more in-common with Baltimore than it does Indy.

Why not? Why would anyone not consider climate when deciding on a place they'll be living?

Pittsburgh politics are not midwest conservative, unless you include the heavy suburban regions which are not where the tech companies are.

Considering many of that period were born from immigrants it's hard to make that argument. It isn't black and white.

If he has no legal right to enact, sue. The remedy exists and has been used before against executive orders.

The efforts to discredit this policy are truly fascinating - that's how you know how effective it is, it truly is a threat. But this article is correct, that this is not sustainable and a longer term policy is needed. Plenty of people

Corporate taxation is a great tool for managing inflation but our legislature is gridlocked and taxes are not popular. It's a shame because they would be particularly effective right now w/ rate raises.

People aren't upset with corporate personhood in citizens united. They're upset that it allows endless amounts of money to be pumped into politics, further separating the lower classes from the positions of power. In any case, the

Phone calls and private emails are not available to the public at large. The comparison simply doesn't make sense. A tweet is more akin to a newspaper than a private phone call or email.

It seems like you just want to argue. You seem frustrated and deeply unhappy with your current job. I was that way, for times, too, so I get it. You need to focus on what makes you happy. I don't want to dissuade you. But think long an

"A crucial issue in the dispute is a points-based attendance policy adopted by some of the largest carriers earlier this year. Those policies penalize workers, up to termination, for going to routine doctor’s visits or attending to fam

The railroads in the US are close to striking because they only get 1 random day off per month. 353/365 days working. Yea, I'll take the occasional phone call at 1 AM for a production down over that.

Exactly this. So many software engineers think it's an easy life in the trades or in the physical work. It pops up on here all the time, self-loathing SWEs come on in and say how terrible their manager is and how oppressive agile is. I

This doesn't make sense. It would be better if the person who owns the jeep and only puts 10k on a year has a Prius as well. The Prius is always more fuel efficient. > better than the Prius driver who does 40k a year and has to buy

We're on that stage of the flat circle again, where people think "survival of the fittest" is the best way to live, that older americans are meaningless and who cares if COVID killed them, etc. We all know what happened last
