Gig jobs with regulations are just normal job. Why do people support adding complexity to an already complex system?

But right wing also oppose government interventions to lower those prices. And no, the market will not fix itself. Some things are not bound to laws of supply and demand. When your kid is on the operation table, you’re not going to tell him « hey sorry it’s too expensive to keep you around, we’re putting you down ».

A house door lock isn’t that much about security either.

IMO electric busses needs to have a trolley bus infrastructure on some route so the bus is recharged during the day. Won’t cover 100% of the energy needs, but will spread out the charging time.

IMO it should be a progressive transformation. First light bus coverage, then more frequent busses and longer busses, then once the line is packed elevated light rails with remote control. The goal should always be to carry more people with less effort. Busses can be deployed quickly. Rails are a better long term solution.

Convicting Trump shouldn’t be the end. It will simply motivate his troops.

Get the truth out. Make it clear that even Trump knows that the election wasn’t rigged. That there was no « steal ». That he trued a coup, not tried to make things right.

Trump in prison is a byproduct of that. If we truly want to start fighting against the raise of facism, we need people to band together against it. We all need to set aside the liberal vs conservatives fight, and push against facism and dictatorship. Because once the US falls, forget the small fights about public services and worker’s rights. That won’t be on anyone’s radar.

Unless they sell the new insulin at cost, then no, they don’t get to charge more for the existing product.

They always say that they charge more to pay for the risk from R&D, but having people pay more an existing product to finance future R&D is the complete opposite of that.

This is why some stuff should never be handled by private corporations.

You’re a sysadmin, you’ll figure it out one day. But here’s a clue : why would you need to protect a windows folder from being written into by windows-based malwares from a linux OS ?

Linux is exactly the same for file access. Unless you run your session as root, which is a bad idea.

Force them to cover all water damage under warranty. And let them void the water damage warranty if you replace the battery. This will remove their bad excuse if « keeping the phone waterproof » as it will acknowledge that opening it breaks the seal.

Life sentence in prison.

The idea that there’s an acceptable number of innocent people being killed by the state on the death row so we’re allowed to sometime get vengeance on someone instead of having them go trough their life in a prison cell is simply horrible.
