Thank you for some of the most egregious bullshit I've read today. My cousin has never let a right wing lie pass unpublished on his Facebook page, yet he has never once been sanctioned in any way. He was even putting up links to Alex Jones' website while Jones was suspended by Facebook without any repercussions.
So troll your whiny conservative nonsense somewhere else.
Isn't it cute how employers expect the whole "gig economy" thing to work JUST for them? We've all heard stories, or actually lived through them: You turn up for work on Monday morning and get told your services aren't needed til after Labour Day. See ya then. Or yes, you can attend your mom's funeral. Just don't expect to get paid for the time off.
So if a better gig comes along and you don't need to go to an interview...oh, well. If you're feeling polite maybe you call. But especially if the company has made you jump through hoops to get the interview, why give them one more minute of your life if it turns out you don't need them?
I have to admit, though, I loved this story for mostly one reason: it appears that there actually is a real human being named Johnny Taylor who bears the title "President and CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management." I couldn't help but imagine a Monty Python sketch starting with those words inscribed on a door in an endless row of offices in a cookie cutter high rise in Anywhere USA.
And this guy Johnny, whose job title is almost as long as my johnson, claims there could be consequences for ditching a job interview because "the world is small". Yes, Johnny, the world is small. And because the world is small, I can ditch three or four interviews with you, and you'll come crawling back to invite me for another one. Because if I'm good, companies will want me, and delivering me into their tender embrace will make it look like you're actually worth whatever they're paying you to recruit guys like me.
So get used to it, Johnny boy. We both know that if the shoe were on the other foot, you'd ghost me without a thought. The entire HR profession is based on tipping the scales as far as legally possible in the employer's favour. Here is your introduction to Law of Unintended Consequences. Welcome to the real world.
There's also going to be a lot of mechanics who will have to get familiar with electric cars sooner or later. They might be low maintenance in a lot of ways, but that isn't the same thing as NO maintenance.
If Tesla is sensible, they'll break their neck looking the other way on this. Let the guy take all the risk. If his efforts pay off, a whole new market will open up for them. Wrecked, rooted Teslas won't be snapped up by people who can afford a new one. They'll be grabbed off by folks who want to go top-drawer electric but couldn't afford to, and maybe eventually for fleets.
Charge everybody a hefty fee for driving large personal gas guzzlers downtown in major cities. Provide exemptions for cars like this, electrics and delivery vehicles. They do a limited version of the tax in London already, but it's more of a money grab than a real control on traffic. Even so, it's had an effect.
People so self-indulgent they'd rather fork out for some stupid app on a monthly basis instead of buying it outright need a quick kick in the crotch. It would serve as a reminder that rewarding behaviour like this simply encourages more of it.
It doesn't matter whether you're talking about apps, full programs, cars, hardware or houses, the case for leasing/renting always favours the big guy. The best you can do is decide whatever small conveniences accrue to you are worth the boning you're going to get in many other respects.
I wonder how long it will be before we get that "perfect storm" team. Let's say, for the sake of argument, a guy with Special Forces training, a phishing expert, and somebody with a lot of money. Let's say all of them are suffering from terminal diseases everybody, including Monsanto's team of lawyers, know were caused by Monsanto products. And when they meet up at some kind of "accept your mortality" workshop, they decide no cost is too high, if the end result is the Monsanto board of directors kicking away their lives at the end of a rope.
Sooner or later, as the environment steadily degrades, we're going to get to the point where the people who made it happen, or their descendants, are going to be held accountable. No doubt there's a fun-filled action adventure movie to be made out of such a story...or maybe a few headlines.
A craft brewer with an ironclad reputation for quality weighed in on this. In order to sell his beer for a buck under the conditions laid out by Ford, he'd have to supply it for 16 cents a can. He says he can do it, but the beer would be watered down, tasteless swill.
So he won't.
On the other hand, if you want to drink American beer, just go down there and do it. Cheap beer in the US is exactly like this drek will be: rancid cat piss.
Lord help the relatives if I ever dropped dead without a chance to reach out theatrically as I took my last breath to nuke this app. That cute little sidebar would probably read like the subject catalog of YouPorn, with maybe a few categories thrown in even they haven't thought of yet.
I have to suspect our ones and zeroes buddy has taken a huge bum-reaming as a result of his stock market "prowess". There's never been a story here on any Musk company where he doesn't try to explain to everybody how he was right, we were wrong, and Musk is a fraud.
Of course, the money we made from having an interest in Tesla is simply a figment of our imagination.
I'm going to go 'way out on a limb here and bet that none of the top people at MoD have had to worry about getting laid off because of the "budget shortfall".

Can't think of a single thing you said I disagree with even a little.
Ask about the company's medical benefits, with particular attention to crab lice and other venereal infestations.

Thank you for your comment, Comrade. Mr. Putin will be pleased.

I'm afraid you'll have to explain how London's Congestion Charge came to be, then. It's about $25 US per day, which isn't trivial.
Charge everybody a hefty fee for driving large personal gas guzzlers downtown in major cities. Provide exemptions for cars like this, electrics and delivery vehicles.

We call it, "thinning the herd".

US Invaded By Savage Tick That Sucks Animals Dry, Spawns Without Mating
Up here in Canada, we call these creatures "Tories".
It's not often we get a chance to see the GW Denier trolls and the "nuclear will solve every problem" trolls all partying together on the same page.
This is a real treat.
Just think of all the free energy we could get if only we could find a way to make use of the friction your mouth generates on all those cocks.
Might just as well pay the Mafia that money directly and use existing facilities.

Tell us again how well people have done shorting Tesla stock.
We'll wait.
A lot of them are still sitting a bit funny thanks to the backscuttle they just got from Elon Musk's sandpaper-sheathed baseball bat.
