Ah yes the standard vacationed too long safety net. There's unemployment and welfare for those who need it, not SWEs that don't want to work. Don't work safety nets into your plans, they are for people in need, you are taking

In addition to the revenue from selling cars. The GP was asking why Nvidia doesn't stop selling their cards and use them to generate bitcoin as a mining company. Tesla simply took some of their cash and invested in Bitcoin, they didn&#

Pile of trash like most of psychology today. It just interleaves some obvious things with pure conjecture. The "wiping away their sins" inferred by offering them a pencil or a cleansing wipe was just icing on the cake.

> A law that mandates that I or anyone must broadcast a politician's opinion - this is a textbook example of compelling speech. You are not Twitter or Facebook. Stop pretending these giant social behemoths are people, they are not.

I guess we will see, but I welcome the change. I'm glad someone is doing something to reel these social media giants in. I'd like to see transparent moderation logs first and foremost. These billion dollar companies are not immune

Considering that it was mostly overturned in Brandenburg v. Ohio, SCOTUS agreed that it was unconstitutional and overreaching. They held that the government cannot punish inflammatory speech unless that speech is "directed to inciting

The shouting fire being illegal is a myth. The court case was about the Espionage Act of 1917, and was extremely unconstitutional. It was about speaking about against the draft. Holmes justified his ruling with the fire statement at the end

That's not my experience, I mostly see teens and sometimes one or two adults. Do you have a source backing up that claim? > We should be spending money creating new, better paying jobs, not new social programs.

I do too, but currently the opposite logic is being applied to unemployment benefits. Maybe there will be an article about those shady defense contracts and eco projects but that's not the topic.

You shouldn't be able to "choose to not be employed", someone else is picking up the slack for you and you are taking away benefits that could be used on someone that NEEDS it (disability, elderly, etc.) When others see that

No, the full blame goes to the near slave farms exploiting these people. Raise the prices if you have to and tell the consumers to shove it. Chipotle just did this, farms can do it. If you can't survive without slave labor don't s

Well I'm not. Now there's two anecdotes to work with. I worked a shitty job to get through college, it's a stepping stone. These jobs aren't meant to live on. They should be used as part time jobs for people transitionin

Those exploited immigrants won't hold their breath. I'm sure those farms unwilling to pay a fair wage will start investing in those expensive machines' R&D. Then do it for all other crops.
