Why do Americans always have to play a zero sum game with human lives. If a quarter of our country has the worst healthcare in the developed world that is unacceptable. Answers like this are just begging us to give up our humanity.

Who gets "good" care here? Senators and millionaires definitely do. But, most people don't get good care, many people are missing essential care (dental), and everyone has to wait. Often months. We in the US pay more per capi

It’s a such a coincidence that those are the same talking points the employees were forced to here during the many mandatory meeting. Also interesting that the NLRB found those forced meetings illegal.

What power? You as an individual employee have absolutely no power to change Apple's behavior. Case in point the director of this story quitting because they couldn't convince Apple to change. As the other comment mentioned the bi

45 million folks in the US have student loans so even some action for 3.6 million folks isn’t a large percentage.

The title can be read in an extremely misleading way. The US has forgiven forty thousand individuals loans. Not 40k per individual. It’s how I first read it. Since there are millions of US citizens with student loans that’s far less than 1%

As soon as Europeans got big boats they ended up commiting genocide on everyone they encountered, so there's certainly reason to fear aliens behaving similarly. That said, it seems reasonable to expect any civilization that gets interp

In 2016 Elon personally cancelled a bloggers Model X order because said blogger roasted a Tesla event. I'd say it sounds totally plausible.

Oh I’m going to make one of those wild guesses: 1) musk buys twitter because it’s difficult to reject the offer 2) musk states “free speech is very important” and reinstates a lot of banned conservatives, namely trump 3) trump’s reelection

“Stalking” is doing a lot of work there, it's publicly available information. The account isn't literally tailing his jet. If you're a billionaire and buy a private jet you naturally have less privacy than other people and th

Does everyone consider Elon Jet a malicious actor? Who determines what a malicious actor is? I guess soon it could be Elon!

There’s an account called Elon Jet which uses publicly available information to track Elon's private jet and post take off and landings. Elon offered 5k to the owner to take it down[1]. He has blocked loads of people for mocking or dis

Sorry, I thought it’d be obvious to everyone reading he clearly isn’t talking about: - labor organizers getting fired - Palestine - Folks getting sexually harassed

The article referred to it as an "internal social media program." Why call it something else? Do you know more about its functionality you wish to share with the rest of us?

How many empty houses are there in the US, millions? How many luxury condos are being built and sit unoccupied? It seems like people always come out of the woodwork to explain how rising wages aren’t helpful and are solution must always see

Powerful in their ability to control their members without helping them! They end up being another source of control. That’s likely why there were a slew of wildcat teacher strikes.

Cases like this you really need to be extremely specific about what powerful means. I think a lot of left leaning folks could agree with such statements but made too broadly it can be taken a number of different ways. I think you'd b

Fridays are the days most interesting news lands because it’s easiest to sweep it under the rug with the weekend. I wish news organizations where more courageous and held on to this stuff to Monday/Tuesday.
