He does their field testing.

It’s like metamorphosis - ugly car goes in, better-looking car comes out.

The Defunctland episode is real good:

asked the jury to side with Guyger’s claim of self-defense, saying prosecutors are “holding Amber Guyger to an impossible standard” and “making innocent mistakes into evil acts.”

Healthcare in the US is a commodity, just like anything else. It can be bought and sold and traded. And we live under the delusion that because we pay more for it, that we’re getting something better than anyone else has.

“... but we need it ready by next Saturday for the big auction, so we’re going to be putting in some late nights!” 

Considering GM employees took massive pay cuts when GM was floundering and didn't really receive anything in return........ Also GM is making billions in profits, why wouldn't they attempt to get a bigger piece of the pie? 

Nah.

Union workers just think that because they are in a union, they are entitled to max benefits with no effort

Instead of “fuck you, I got mine” it is “fuck you, if I can’t have it you can’t either.”

Neutral: I don’t really see a good way out of the woods, for the UAW or America. Unionize, and executives automate or outsource your job. Go without a union, and you end up with the hellish conditions/pay in Amazon distribution centers. Allowing automation and compensating with universal basic income means you have to…

Exactly. I am baffled by some people’s encouragement of our continued race to the bottom.

So you are okay with the public (SSI) absorbing the costs of a private company churning through worker’s bodies?

It’s really shitty when people say, “Well I pay a lot more so they should as well”. Bullshit. Companies have been eroding employee benefits for years now, while shareholders profit handsomely and none of this “trickles down” to raise wages, which would help at least offset higher costs.

Sounds like my cheap-ass brother-in-law who wouldn’t spend $2 after a fill up to run his car through the gas station car wash. 

Stars for you, your son, and the scout troop.

Well shit. That sure beats all the crap that my son, his scout troop and I pulled out of a ravine yesterday as part of the Clean Your Streams day. Seven plus tires, broken bikes, scooters and 20+ bags of garbage. It was nasty  

None of the GOP voted for the ACA at all despite it being based on a plan that the Heritage Foundation had been pushing for a while and was actually put in place in MA by Romney.

We can compromise and have a massive hit to quality and huge cost overruns without universal health care.
