If it's clear that you have good reason to close the store, then you close the store. If you're closing a profitable store to avoid unionization, then you don't close the store. There's no need to wait, just don't c

My family members have experience with deafness. They've had direct first-hand contact with someone who is deaf in one ear, and have learned how to interact with that person successfully. They are familiar with the challenges of being

This is three gross mischaracterizations in one!

Yeah, there's no word to describe something negative that can't be turned into an insult. Whatever words we use to describe people on the fringes of society will be turn against those we don't like to treat them as if they ar

I know that kindness never goes out of style. Negative words can change meaning or severity over time, in both directions, but if you aim for clear expression and avoid insults, it is unlikely anything you say or write will be judged badly

That is very time-and-place-and-worker-dependent, but yes, for a young person with no significant attachments, a cheap or free place to live, and a car, it's often still very easy. Many of those jobs don't come with Starbucks-leve

That is how strikes work, they are a last resort action unions don't like to take because they negatively impact everyone, including the workers who aren't paid. Still, strikes hurt the workers more because the workers end up livi

All of these situations are always adjudicated by a government bureaucracy that's often more inclined to side with companies than workers, in this case the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). So it would work in that case exactly li

An industry expert telling you that X is the solution to everything, and then years later saying that Y is the solution to everything, without any acknowledgement whatsoever of their previous statement on the subject, is messing with percep

The courts can't compel a company to hire someone out of the blue, but they can compel a company to not-fire someone in retaliation for unionization efforts. Similarly, if the court so desired, they couldn't compel someone to

Activity monitor can have more than one window, even though most people apparently never hit Cmd-1, Cmd-2, Cmd-3, or Cmd-4 to launch other windows. It also runs in live-icon mode with no windows at all. AFAIK, then, that leaves System Prefe

Their concerns aren't with poor people, but with "traffic" and "density" and "character," which... I mean... Okay. Existing houses clearly don't have cars, and were built to replace existing houses, n

You've already gone from globalist agencies to putting a person's name in there, do you want to go just that one step further and suggest anything "those people" have in common? You can willfully misread and misinterpret

I wish for elected politicians to do what we elected them to do, which does not at all involve bribery or globalist conspiracies. I'll grant that California is in some ways a negative model. For example, I hate that the NIMBY capture t

I'm not sure whether your replies here are more stupid, or more nasty. The two attributes are neck-in-neck thus far. Not everyone is as selfish as you are. I'm a happy YIMBY, disappointed that the houses they're building on t

And yet the Escala was built with 269 units anyway. Tear it down, I guess? Or stop the YIMBY nonsense and let's build enough places to live for people who need to live somewhere.

Why do you have to be able to "maintain quality of life?" How do you define "quality of life?" For whom must this be maintained? The quality of life for the people who currently have no place in the city to live is prett

Cases from seven years ago are finally being thrown out. That's the delay. They have been blocked for years.

It's a perfectly reasonable proposal, unless you are living next to where a fourplex is being built, and you're worried about "those people" moving in nearby, where "those people" are either "poor" or

Technical debt is the best term for what it is, which is not "bad code." So while the author is technically correct when they say "Tech debt is more than just bad code," more than anything they seem to be saying "I

They do not want you to swipe-close all apps, and used to very publicly ask people to stop doing that every year during iOS keynotes. They want you to trust iOS to swap apps in and out as needed for performance, and all you're doing by

Rght, MacOS deliberately adopted a document-centric model rather than an application-centric model, and used to talk about it quite a lot as a decision they felt they made correctly while others didn't. Really it's not so much &qu
