You think woke will beat corrupt/lobbying? I have an older car that needs the smog check every year, and for the last 5 years that's entailed paying a mechanic the better half of a thousand dollars to get the check engine light

The employees who stay get paid more than if everyone stayed. Same idea as with unions, you're splitting the pie into less slices so each is bigger.

The ability to afford to do those activities could be lost. Automation pulls the value previously created by many humans and concentrates it to those who create/maintain the system. As that list of needed people shrinks, so too does th

I am also a big fan of the colors. I feel like I get enough flashy bright colors from my phone and job, and it feels more natural and calming. I think the calming bit also subconsciously gives me a feeling of more dependability as well.

Why are so many of you here so bitter against this company?

Or the PR teams are just misinformed? Some intern doing customer support on twitter isn’t going to be invited to long term strategy/budget meetings
