This guy's case is way overstated and lacking in evidence, dunno if that's from Doctorow himself or just him repeating Varoufakis. Take this absurdity: > Better still: don't found Uber, invest in Uber options and extract v

Bikes and ebikes are great, but the ceiling on adoption is too low to make a dent in CO2 emissions on the scale of EVs. No large metro in the US has more than about 5% commuting share on bikes. See for example https://www.goodgoo

The parent didn't say the hypothetical employee objected to transgenderism on religious grounds. Plenty of atheists object to transgenderism too. As a broader point, there seems to be this strange argumentative move I see where contemp

There's a difference between policies to increase working-class wages over the long term, & a tight immediate feedback loop. Runaway inflation is a serious deal Plus if everyone is auto-raising every employee, that would include lo
