   Do you mean “user-replaceable”? You can get new batteries for most Apple products (I think). Exception is AirPods (Pro).

   The gazans are oppressed because they can’t form strong institutions? 1) victim blaming 2) why can’t they form strong institutions? (I’m sure it’s nothing to do with putting them in a ghetto where nobody can enter or leave without Israel’s

   1) These numbers are from MSF (Doctors Without Borders) 2) Israel themselves rely on the Gazan ministry of health’s numbers, aka Hamas, which I believe are pegged at 40k, definitely an extreme undercount Finally, there’s no quibbling about

   That’s because of the lack of a union. Companies can’t just remove benefits that are in a union-bargained contract. (Assuming that would have been one.)

   Bargained away? Which union did that and for what company?

   by nielsbot 2y ago

   Hard for me to imagine any cases where the union does a worse deal on your behalf than you did yourself. Maybe you're talking about only compensation? Unions bargain for more than just compensation: better healthcare, parental leave, m

   Amazon is going to do that anyway. May as well stand up for your share of the profits.

    The only case I’ve heard of this happening is Medicare Advantage. (Companies “upcode” seniors while providing less care since they are paid per person) https://medicareadvocacy.org/medicare-advantage-plans-under-... In all

    I don't. I did find a publication from the Swedish government about this: https://www.government.se/articles/2017/02/facts-about-migra... They say people with 2-foreign born parents are overrepresented i

    Is there a study I can read for this?

    Profits after paying executive salaries, right? In any case there should not be a profit motive in (health) insurance.

    If you mean that's what DEI is about, it's not. Also, I'd say it's human nature to feel more comfortable and familiar with your "in group". Do you disagree?

    I think you can study statistics and surveys about this. For example, is the number of people reporting that essentials (rent, food, gas) are unaffordable? Are mortgage defaults rising? Is credit card debt rising? And for all of these, whic

    Well my question was not about US vs other places. It was more about is there or is there not an affordability crisis.

    So is your argument that there's no "affordability crisis" in the US?

    seems like storage is the answer? the grid status folks published a blog entry talking about batteries are reducing CA’s reliance of nat gas. https://blog.gridstatus.io/caiso-batteries-apr-2024/

    Also important to note that Khan, who filed the warrant requests, was one of Israel’s preferred appointees to the ICC as chief prosecutor.

    If you’re looking for death estimates there are other sources. The Lancet estimated 160K (at least IIRC) a month or two ago.

    Pretty sure even Israel has said the Gaza health ministry’s numbers are usually correct. They have also been found to be generally correct in the past. Lastly the lower death count is the official health ministry number but the higher esti
