Cushy or not, everyone likes to feel that they can trust the people that they work for. Everyone is equally upset when their job is off-shored, especially if they were sold the idea of pouring themselves on the job. This feels equally harsh for the Personal Assistants with a 60k salary that get off-shored for half the price.
I agree that just shouting "capitalism" is really poor commentary though, now everything that involves money is called "capitalism" for some reason, even though every single place that organizes around money has this basic incentive of cheaper labor. "Capitalism" or "not so capitalism". :shrug:
… while I too would probably also take the plane, the door-to-door isn't an hour. For one, even the flight time alone is about 90 minutes, but you're going to be adding at least — and I'm being extremely generous here — another 90 minutes for boarding/unboarding, ticketing, security, and delays combined. It's no less than 3 hours, and I'm probably being way too generous even then.
When talking about market demand, the only thing that matters is how many people will actually spend money on the thing. Wanting something hypothetically if a bunch of additional conditions are met doesn't really help Tesla. Basically, Toyota was right.
It sounds like you like the idea of EVs but not the reality. I'm in the same boat; it's a cool technology, just not currently very practical for my situation. Maybe future technology and infrastructure improvements will change that someday, but we aren't there yet, at least not for me.
Right, as much as anything I was addressing the OP's statement "top down government technology mandates never work". Some technologies need top down help to achieve viability and to my mind EVs fit that bill. If the government help bootstrap the industry it could easily achieve viability over the years. It's hardly without precedent: would car travel be the same without the interstate highway system?
The $7,500 rebate sort of tweaked with the value system in my head and got my to purchase my model Y. also with not dealing with dealerships was a huge +
I’ve spent a lot of time in CA’s central valley. It’s unfortunate but there may be certain use cases where tracking a student’s out of class time could be relevant.
It would be better as an opt-in thing for students that need “guard rails” rather than universal.
Have been volunteering as a Big for the past few years and Little had problems with wandering the halls for long durations while on a bathroom break. In this case it wasn’t malicious far as I know but a way to quantify time spent seems justified.
Edit: every individual should have bathroom access whenever they need it of course.
Yes, I did say my first adult job -- that's where I went from scrounging paycheck to paycheck to make rent, to being comfortable setting up autopay for my bills. However, I've never been payed at the analysis-paralysis level.
There's a sweet spot, I think, between barely scraping by, and keeping up with the Joneses.
And then return home to a state where much of the populace, and the government consider them to be actual murderers.
Also, depending on the county they live in, anyone who helps them leave the state to have the medically required abortion may be breaking the law. Would this include the reservation agent at the airline? Sounds like it would.
The eventual court cases over whether going to another state to do something legal is in fact illegal in your current state will be sad and interesting.
Likely unconstitutional for a number of reasons:
- the constitution guarantees freedom of movement within the states.
- the dormant commerce clause prohibits states from passing legislation that improperly burdens or discriminates against interstate commerce
- states cannot pass laws with extraterritorial jurisdiction. The constitution establishes a federal system in which states have sovereignty within their own borders but cannot exert authority in other states.
Roe was nakedly political. Even liberals hardly defend it as an exercise in actual Constitutional law. It also remains an aberration in the developed world: the EU Court of Human Rights has repeatedly declined to recognize a general “right” to abortion that overrides the power of elected legislatures to regulate it.
The Supreme Court that showed a “heavy political leaning” was the one that decided Roe in the first place, not the one that overturned it, returning the issue to the public to decide, as is true in every country in the EU.
It's sad that you're getting downvoted when you're objectively right. Roe was the poster child for judicial activism where the justices literally invented a constitutional right out of thin air in order to justify their decision.
I’m going to go on a limb and say that a fetus will be counted under interstate commerce jurisdiction of the US Constitution so there will be a federal law level decision on whether abortion is illegal or not if one doesn’t exist already. Because then I’d imagine that supremacy clause means that states actually do not have the right to restrict procedures like abortions either.
In the Wickard v Filburn case the court ruled that a guy growing food on his own land to feed to animals on his own land was participating in interstate commerce. So it wouldn't be the first stretch of the term.
"Emergency healthcare is just a flight to a neighboring state away, and you may be prosecuted when you get back" isn’t as much of a sell as you think it is.
OpenAI? they do. they chose the wrong people, and now they're in damage control mode to something more familiar to the markets without the oxygen necessary to focus on DEI
