Because if Tesla prevails in not having a collective bargaining agreement, then it opens the door to all companies doing the same thing and potentially destroys all unions as they are now.

It comes down to the part of the city you visit. LA, Sac, Sf all have similar areas to what you saw in SF. They have other nice areas too, where the residents can ignore the problems that concentrated in certain neighborhoods. And they cont

I meant your comments opening statement. That reply did not clarify at all. At a minimum there is a major disconnect in what the comment tried to convey vs how people perceive it. Now that’s two comments like that.

by mint2 3y ago
Opening statement is going to need significant explanation to not sound like a like half of a strawman or slippery slope fallacy. Not even a complete one. It’s hard to tell which fallacy it is because it doesn’t attempt to explain why the t

EVs motors don’t wake you up when your car enthusiast neighbor gets home late at night if they’re driving a EV sports car. If it’s an ice car, different story. Does that answer your question?

Insurance executives are also shocked and worried. But it’s really just an extension of what’s been happening with massive pickup trucks given ridiculous Hp.

No, it’s true. People started driving like they were fleeing zombies during the pandemic, and the behaviors stuck. With the roads deserted people went faster and more carelessly. When things recovered and roads got crowded they didn’t tone

That’s a lot to assume with zero actual knowledge of my budgeting. So No surprise it happens to be totally off the mark and inaccurate. I usually save about 40-50% of my take home pay each month and thats after maxing 401k contributions. An

Succinctly, locals go for local optima, not statewide, countrywide or societal optima. If left to locals, no one will do it. It like a person always going for immediate gratification and wondering why they are unhealthy. Decisions need made

I think it’s awesome if a handful like that get built, SF nimbys need a wake up call and having a few of those would do the trick. In comparison they’ll be happy for 4-6 story midrise buildings.

The neighbor notification and design review are nice ideas in theory but in practice they turn building into a nightmare. I wish new builds weren’t so bland and ugly, but that’s by far the lesser of the evils at this point. I hope the crazy

Amex actually once did the same to me several years ago when trying to verify my identity while talking to them. I refused on a couple phone calls. I forget whether in the end I gave it to them or not, the details are hazy. I do remember I

Like an in person IRL store? Those still exist? Okay I’m being facetious but I did spend more than ever and didn’t set foot in a store and that seems to be the trend these days. Brick and mortar sales do have meaning but it’s harder to comp

it would be shocking if it wasn’t Russia and yet you’re trying to convince us it’s not!? And at the same time attempting to discredit western media as a whole? A cyber security threat mainly occurring in Ukraine and you’re trying to tell us

You can do three things. Avoid buying them where possible to reduce your exposure. I.e don’t buy the dental floss that is literally strands of Teflon. Give blood. Not only is it a good deed, it reduces the amounts of these chemicals. Contac

Biodegradable as in compostable? Too bad they’re often lined with teflon.

by mint2 3y ago
Now watch out for dental floss - many brands are a single strand Teflon. Don’t wear most water repellent gear and definitely not goretex, although finally non pfas options are being phased in. Avoid compostable to-go containers, many are li

Worker productivity versus wage graphs show that false.

by mint2 3y ago
That only makes sense if the wage price spiral that can drive inflation is also dismissed as an impossible grand conspiracy amongst workers. What we have currently, however, has components of a profit price spiral, which posts like this one

A Needless Pedanticism, that is only technically correct if you mean gold that won’t kill you We can make gold in the lab. It’s radioactive gold but still gold. Edit, actually i think in the 1980s Seaborg might have created stable gold out

Okay but to many people Irvine is a sterile wasteland. And that’s one of the mode suburbs?! It feels like living in a corporate office park. And no, it’s predominantly not walking friendly. Not only is is massively spread out, the roads one

And these are all on top of single family zoning with decades of nimbyism and near ban of mid rise housing and impossible parking requirements making it impossible to densify except by way to expensive “luxury” high rises. That’s left prett

One reason some people like buying Apple products new is they have a reasonable resale value. So actually buying used still helps Apple by maintaining the resale market.

I’m more optimistic for the m3, well at least barring the economy tanking, that would put a damper on sales for sure. But Mac’s have a long life, apple’s comparison for upgrades was the m1. But there’s still people on intel Macs. I’m finall

What’s the deal with glass roofs? Are they cheaper for the auto mfg? Or are the mfgs just blindly copying Tesla? I do not want a glass roof. It seems stupid and pointless.

The wheels falling off didn’t help. I mean the wheels literally fell off and all vehicles were recalled. How can they screw up their first ev so badly unless it was intentionally sabotaged by management withholding support and resources
