I have a large number of GOP voters that voted for Biden because they believe Trump is an idiot. My opinion is that the party will reform under someone new. Trump is too old at this point to be relevant beyond 2024.

His policy platform came off as uninformed. Overly-naive in certain respects and overly-corporatist in others - appealing to neither side of the aisle.

In higher level tech jobs, we struggle to find good metrics to measure performance, and then in jobs where it's easy to measure performance with a clear metric - using it is controversial. Maybe the lesson is that when a metric becomes

It's always interesting to see people who think other people should be held to a higher standard, and seldom think they themselves should be held to those standards. It reminds me of the protesters happy to destroy other people&#x27

These are all your guesses. The article doesn't say literally anything about him killing anyone or ordering anyone to be killed.

This is a cynical opinion that isn't based on any facts. unless you have evidence of this "great resin code conspiracy"?

For the same reason companies give perks of all kinds rather than simply giving employees cash. ...like having a free cafeteria or gym in the office. The perk provides a win-win by allowing for the company to have group bargaining power,

Peanuts? In my area Amazon pays between $19-$21/hr for entry level / no education required, positions. This is significantly higher than most other entry level jobs in the area.

By "context" do you mean your personal bias?

This is intellectually lazy. You assume everything good is done in bad faith by people you've labelled "bad" and then judged them to be bad based on acts you've assumed were done in bad faith. ...it's the epitome o

Because different cities have the ability to recycle different types of resin. So the number in the middle of the symbol is used by the recycling plant to separate what can and cannot be recycled. The ridiculous part is that recycling pla

Burying plastic is likely the best solution anyway as it's a CO2 sink. It's a great way to sequester carbon.

No. They were made to help communities separate plastics into those that can vs cannot be recycled. That's why they are on the plastic, and why they have the recycle shape.

The Resin code was designed to help with recycling to determine what can be recycled. It says so in the article you linked. It's the last column on the first chart.

Most recyclable plastic that's collected isn't even recycled anymore. We might be better off burying it as a carbon sink.

I think this is a pretty standard case of a person with a criminal conviction being denied entry to a foreign country. It happens tens of thousands of times per year to other people.

It's pretty iconic of the modern far-left movement. They really do earn the term "regressive".

I read that quote in exactly the opposite way, with "this" being the computer system and that the agent was trying to find a way to LET the person into the country.

The standard court appointed lawyer will do this too - but you often have to push them to fight for you. ...and some paid lawyers suck and will roll-over. Price of your lawyer is a poor predictor of results in the legal system. The best adv

As someone who is neither in Canada, nor a Canadian citizen, would she even have jurisdiction to appeal to a Canadian court? Can anyone in the world file a case with the Canadian Supreme court and be heard? They would need to have some sor

In a literal sense, she committed and was convicted of serious crimes. Ethically, I understand some debate that - but legally - it is not in debate.

This is a classic "whataboutism" argument. The Acadians were deported literally hundreds of years before. Maybe we should demand Mongolia apologize for Genghis Khan as well?
