Nobody cares what you think either, and nobody cares what I think. When I'm at work, I'm paid to work, not to politick. I'll share my views and opinions gladly with anyone who asks, and I'll make conversation for the sake of conversation. But I'm not going to parade around with a Trump (or Gary Johnson, as the case was) logo tattooed on my forehead and demand that everyone drop what they're doing to listen to my brilliant treatise on life, the universe, and everything. It would distract me, and my interlocutors, from the work we're being paid to do. That's what makes it unprofessional.
All the old-timers working a few hours a week as greeters or cashiers at Target and the like while collecting old-age benefits shouldn't count against the employer.
The harm is that these people are requiring their co-workers to relinquish their sense of objective reality as a condition of continued employment. If the building weirdo were confining his weirdness to his own ti.e and showing up to work in order to work, then it's nobody's business what he does off the clock. But from what I understand from Damore' s lawsuit, the company. Culture is that other employees must actively affirm the demonstrably counterfactual assertions that humans are old ormate buildings, that men are women, and that all disparities in engineering staff headcount are entirely caused by malevolent sexism or bigoted indifference. They must affirm these things or face public shaming, termination of employment, and blacklisting within the industry. That's the harm: it requires thinking people to cede reality to the whims of the mentally ill.
Yeah, that's pretty bad. I mean, disappearing for greener pastures after a short period of time can be considered a little mercenary too, but doing so without a word is just bad. In addition, some places like my employer have outside compensation clauses in the employment contract so ghosting for a new job isn't just bad but could open you up to lawsuits.
The right answer was to not have put the joke in there to begin with. Freedom comes with responsibility to not ruin freedom for others. The workplace is for work, not for crude humor or for politics.
When have you *not* seen the Dems threaten to scuttle legislation unless it funds Planned Parenthood? When have you *not* seen Dems adopt policies favorable to Big Labor?
New paradigm my foot and from scratch my foot. Automobile manufacturing and even electric cars have been around for 130 years. Tesla has been "getting off the ground" for over a decade and all they've got is rich man's toys because electric cars are inferior to gasoline for very fundamental reasons that no amount of green-colored snakeoil is going to get around.
Yeah. Sure. And I've got a bridge over San Francisco Bay to sell to you. GU24 was mandated was all new construction and all renovations in all locations in California for the better part of a decade and the only only only reason was so that the hardware manufacturers could charge you five times more for the same exact lightbulbs.
Umm...Planned Parenthood, SEIU, AFL-CIO, just to name a few private organizations that benefit monetarily from policies pushed by Democrats and parley those funds into advocacy campaigns.
I see. So the way to get a dirt-cheap scientific pocket calculator back in 1950 would have been to legislate them into existence? Well doesn't the Truman administration deserve a massive black mark on its record for not coming up with such an obvious solution. They could have had the internet of things back at the '64 World's Fair if they'd just legislated and regulated all of that stuff into existence. And how come we don't have teleporters? Maybe we should regulate the airlines into making teleporters happen.
Whatever the hell he's trying to crank out for 35k each for the base model is not being billed as a luxury car. And it costs nearly twice what a similarly-appointed gas-powered vehicle sells for. And he can't make them in any kind of volume.
They have their high-profile appointees stay silent, but they funnel grants to "community service" organizations that are entirely unencumbered and can be as political as they like.
But they can't build them in volume and they can't build them for under 40k a pop on the low end. That's more expensive with a 6-cylinder mid-size SUV or a very upscale sedan with a gasoline engine.
Let's see... Smartphone apps written in Rust, derivatives trading and an endless supply of leftie smugness versus agricultural and industrial base and a population that likes their guns...it would be a short war.
A dollar in Alabama goes a hell of a lot farther than a dollar in California. Considering a whole hell of a lot of factories that make actual things like steel and automobiles and petrochemicals are located in Alabama, your assessment of them as slackers is questionable.
First of all, "100,000 rust belters" isn't anything to sneeze at. They're real people who really were fucked over by the previous administration. Somewhat intentionally, too.
Second of all, no it wasn't 100,000 people in an election with over 100M voters. It was all the votes in all the places that mattered, even in states that went blue (they forced the Dems to expend resources there to compete, duh).
Third of all, gas prices going up is the cost of economic activity. It's a symptom of prosperity, and given that we pump a whole lot more of our own oil than we did at the start of the Obama years when the regs were written, it's not going to hurt as much as it did back then. The market is funny that way.
Fourth of all...you're joking right? Between Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillebrand, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, and Comrade Bernie himself, the Dems are fronting a line of out-and-proud Marxists for 2020.
Life's a trade-off. You can have good mileage, good safety, good cargo capacity, good reliability, low emissions, and low cost, but you can't have all of them at once. I am accusing the people who dismiss as unimportant many of those performance metrics when they write the regulations of having no skin in the game.
What a joke. You understand how the incentive structure for "academics" and "experts" works right? If you have influence, personal profit follows. Academics can be lobbied and bribed just as easily as anyone, especially if they "transition to government service" for a spell and have a cushy position waiting for them when they return.
What's that? You're mocking the idea of vested interests setting public policy without a counterbalance? Well...then surely you must be against Big Green trying to sue or regulate everyone who doesn't buy their solar panels and electric cars and smart thermostats and etc etc out of business.

Don't worry, it's not. They push these out once in a while so that they know whom to mod down and whose slashdot karma to lower.

Yeah? How do you explain the SF tech bros who have to live in mobile homes?
Good old socialist intransigence. Always insisting that the next time you'll get right.
But it's not on a whim. It's going through the process as laid out in the law...I don't like it is not the same as it's illegal

I'd rather be a slave to my principles than to yours dude. Yours lead to Venezuela.
