A completely ridiculous and nonsensical proposal I can only assume was said in jest.

Yes, a jest. But essentially you have to directly impact the take home pay off CEOs as that appears to be the only thing they will change their behaviour for.

It sounds like a description of most of a deposit system to me, and deposit systems are good at encouraging recycling.

See "core charges" for many automotive parts to incentivize the return of waste for refurbishing at the higher end and bottle deposits for cans/bottles at the lower end. It's weird how things so common in one part of our society can seem so foreign in others.

Hey, if your entire business plan is to produce actual garbage, maybe you should be held responsible for making sure that garbage has a pathway to proper disposal.

Is he in the minority though? Remind me again who won the popular vote two years ago.

Turns out many people aren't big on racial discrimination "but hip and cool B-) this time". When the core principle of an organization is at conflict with the concept of hiring any ethnicity with no specific preference, you have a racist organization.


> It took a long time to actually get to diversity that was beyond token "person of group" inclusivity.

Are we really beyond that now?

Many of the initiatives I've experienced are the same thing today, which is why I'm not a big fan.


> Dunno if he's an unreliable narrator or was just smart enough to keep the white supremacy out the comics at first.

Or I don't know, maybe everyone hates corpo suit types no matter the race?


> What’s normal about bigotry?

uh I don't know, try asking almost any person who was born pre-1960? Doubt they all had brain damage. Not that it was necessarily a good thing, but it was certainly 'normal' in many eras throughout time.


> try asking almost any person who was born pre-1960? Doubt they all had brain damage.

Actually, they probably did.

Leaded fuel existed for a few short decades. Bigotry and tribalism have existed since time immemorial.

Sure. But those born from the 1920s to the 1970s got a touch of brain damage, as a treat.

That's how the system was originally designed, before in flight WiFi was common. If they're gonna hook it up to the broader internet and allow playing games cross-flight, they might as well just hook it up to an existing service like chess.com and have a significantly larger user base imo

> This is no longer a place to go to discuss ideas.

No longer? Flagging comments isnt a new feature, and if anything, the site has been getting more political as time goes on, not less.


> Eric's answer is just don't buy it if you're not happy with the warranty [0].

lol, wouldn't that go for any product?


Yet they have no issue with Mozilla?

Mozilla does not have commercial bits. They do receive money from Google to be the default search engine, and the binaries they build report telemetry, but the versions found in Linux repos often either patch out the telemetry or disable it.

Evidently the country's people, and government, disagree with you.
