The cops had already determined they were going to try to shoot someone when they got word that the parties involved in this altercation were either black or homeless.

I’ve gone to HR twice in my professional career.

The first time, at a local tv network, after being made to work 18 hour days for 3-4 months because one of the other employees would consistently show up to work so fucked up that he couldn’t function. This was well documented and he’d been written up multiple times, but…

Was going to say, you said, now putting my comment to reinforce yours.

The people behind the scenes of Ellen’s show aren’t working in bumblefuck with no unionization or human resources. They’re grown ass people that I’m sure have held other positions before they got hired for the Ellen show.

You are a moron.

I’m very passionate about this subject, for a lot of the reasons stated above, and it’s very frustrating having something that can save millions of lives being treated like it is somehow worse…

No the weight goes straight to his face.

Could it be that the type of people that buy EVs (disproportionately affluent, white collar, well educated, homeowners, with another car) are less affected by COVID than your average car buyer? You can’t just say because EV sales dropped less than the car market as a whole, that EVs milquetoast sales was entirely…

their profit wasn’t from making cars, but rather selling emissions credits to other car companies

Pretty sure no one was asking him to apologize for those.

See I thought the qualifier “actual” implied the author is aware the conspiracy refrain of toxic chemicals being in those literal clouds is nuts.
