This is a great project, and a necessary step toward ending the use of fossil fuels globally.

Now why bring Jane Curtin & Dan Ackroyd into this?

I mean, if “provides gender affirming care to trans children in consultation with a doctor” is sufficient evidence of abuse to take people’s children from them and throw them in jail, Cruz probably deserves the death penalty for this.

“Allegedly, Alaska employees tested the device’s durability by running it over with a truck.”

Heated seats.  I’m never going back to a vehicle without them.  New ride has a heated steering wheel as well, it’s niiiiiice.

It’s not freedom of speech they want, it’s freedom from response.

Ooof, there’s much more to this than the writer put in to the article. Time off has gotten progressively more inflexible as the RR’s have implemented more wonky strategies to cut cost. Not only are they giving the workers less chance to take off for whatever reason, they are now also on call like 60 hours a week…

Sick days are also about the ability to call out of work when you need to without repercussion. From what I’ve read if you can’t make it in because you or a family member are sick, you’ll get written up and charged “points”, too many points and you get fired. So I think here it’s less about pay and more about the…

This is a good piece, but I recommended everyone go out and do some in-depth reading on this issue. This is the best example I can find that starts with how the RR’s were originally founded and ran in the 1800's, and how that plays into the current environment where the free market has no way of making them not be…

Yet another Bigot-Chicken puff piece from The Takeout (c’mon, tell us how you really feel guys). Too bad they’re too busy coming up with the very “christian” idea of making at/near minimum wage workers work 14 hour shifts on their feet that they can’t formulate a company wide non-discrimination policy that covers…

He’s a white guy in a country club in Arkansas. It’s at least 50/50 he’s a douche nozzle.

It can be a fool’s errand to wait to take your Social Security. If you wait until 67 until taking at 62, you don’t fully recovery those lost years of collecting benefits until you are 78. If you wait until 70, you don’t break even until 81.

Fair enough, but I think we’ll just get the same old list. Multipla, Puma ( I guess this one is a bit newer), CrossCabriolet, etc....

Lol they don’t produce awful light. I mean sure you can always buy bottom of the barrel LED bulbs, but it sounds like you’re basing your experience of them from what was around a decade ago. My LIFX bulbs are absolutely unmatched, especially so with being able to adjust the white balance. The emitted light is far…

I honestly haven’t noticed a difference in my hydro bill. The entire house is all LED now, and has been for at least 5 years. I assume it’s because in that time, computers have demanded more energy, there are more devices in the house, and we’ve had a pandemic where we’re working from home 100%.

Agree about sunroofs for the reasons you cite. I also like having them to vent while the car is parked.

Counterpoint - and not intended to invalidate what you’re saying:

I’ve spent 34 years in various positions in manufacturing companies including 19 years on the shop floor in a union environment and have never seen this level of harrassment and abuse.  Management is 100% the problem wherever this happens.

Eh, I feel like villains are generally of higher brow than musk. He’s just a fucking douchey frat boy with prominent incel vibes.
