I don't use Xitter, what functionality does it have that's not stupidly easy to implement? As far as I can tell the only thing that Xitter has is a userbase - and when they drive them away they'll have nothing [but debt].

But at the same time they're encouraging the loss of jobs to bring down inflation. Everyone likes to talk about interest rate rises cooling inflation but they never mention that the cooling effect is largely a function of lost employment.

It was pointless, which is a reason to have not taken them, but they're back now so it's kind of a moot point. Just a "don't do it again" situation.

Won't someone think of the poor ships sitting in a harbour!

You would think so, but companies generally believe that they own the right to your full potential output - not just the tasks that they set you.

Tailgating doesn't get you there faster. Most highway accidents would be avoided if people would just leave some space, and then we wouldn't get stuck in accident traffic jams for hours.

Somewhat counterintuitively, traffic will flow better and you'll get places faster if you just leave some space (and you'll be safer and use less fuel as you won't be always on the accelerator and brakes)

To be fair, this is hardly a plan, it's just "head north to your nearest Canadian city"

Yeah, the house I grew up in had so many frogs that you couldn't watch TV or make a phone call at night, it was like having the worst tinnitus every night. Frogs are cute, but that was too much!
