I’m a computer engineer who began with aspirations of being a game dev, graduated, and then said “ah, nevermind” and went a different path on what sorts of software I went into. And here is exactly why:

What kind of human garbage threatens people, especially BABIES, over a fictional character? Just unbelievable.

You mean to tell me other car manufacturers deliberately set up their ops in the cracker South so their workers could be underpaid and get-away-with-it endangered? Sure, I’ll buy that supposition.

As Bradley noted, it’s $10 less per hour relative to UAW wages. That said, the South has long been the worst-case scenario in just about every big metric. Poverty, education, health care, reliance on federal funding, etc. The worst outcomes are pretty much always found in Alabama, Mississippi, or Louisianna and the…

I think you don’t understand that the land in question is Disney’s to begin with. The FL legislature gave them the special district in order to entice Disney to build a money generating machine in what was otherwise Central Florida swamp land. Given that Disney is the largest employer in the state and one of if not…

Oh come now, they didn’t “lose.” A Trump appointed judge dismissed the case, which Disney would have anticipated and which they will have a response for, and the case will continue. A case being dismissed due to a lack of standing means that it wasn’t even considered on its merits, so Disney in no way “lost.” The…

Don’t forget that they also want to go after divorce. 

Can we keep Tampa though? We’re pretty progressive, the rest of the state can just go though. :)

Straight, cisgendered folks who think that this has nothing to do with you: Please understand. These same folks will come for your birth control. They will come for your ability to hook up with randos. They will come for you.

I used to live in South Florida… back in the before times… when you could still get home owners insurance without having to sell both kidneys… it wasn’t perfect… but it wasn’t like this. Now I look at Florida and all I feel is sadness and disappointment… it didn’t have to be this way… but this is the way it is. So…

I’d really settle for indifference. They don’t even have to be nice, just leave trans people alone.

I just fucking can’t, with these culture-war fuckwads. Why is it so goddamn hard to treat people with even the shred of basic decency?

Explaining to people that two things can be true at the same time is difficult, but you, sir, have done an admirable job. I salute you. 

OK, so most of these things are reversing actions Biden has taken, which would indicate he has been an active president on this issue.

OR.... consider possibly...

A spokesperson for Fetterman then gave Business Insider a frankly ridiculous statement, claiming Fetterman “strongly supports a two-state solution in Israel and Palestine, and always has” but that he “strongly believes that this resolution should include language stipulating the destruction of Hamas as a precondition…

It’s a start.

Owners:

Capital gains taxes that punish the fiduciary responsibility of quarterly dividends.
Companies lay off to make their earnings seem better in the short term = share $ go up or dividends go up. Disincentivize the behavior.

What is happening is, well, it is capitalism. Run everything as cheap as you can, as hard as you can, until it breaks, and hope you’ve moved on from your position with the profits before the breaking happens to someone else. It is a mindset that has been applied to machines, to people, and to the very infrastructural…
