  • Tl;dr:

    "I don’t want to hear feedback. Just do your job.”

    “We value you. But a promotion isn’t in the cards right now.”“

    "This is on a need-to-know basis. Information will be shared when the time is right.”

    “We can talk about compensation at the next review.”

    "We need to fill this role. Let’s not share those details with candidates.”

    "I called you last night at 9:00 p.m. Why didn’t you answer?”

    "We don’t have time for fun.”

  • Yeah, people say right-wing when what they mean is authoritarian. There's a guy named Bob Altemeyer that has been studying authoritarianism for decades and he makes a distinction between left wing and right wing authoritarianism.

  • That's because he's using pretty much every trope/straw man that we have come to see from bad actors. He starts off with the classic "As a leftist..." then goes on to lament his social group becoming too woke, then finishes strong by declaring that he is just a working class Joe that actual leftists wouldn't understand.

    So I'll say it. He IS a bad actor.

  • Sure. But the guy above me is implying that at worst, EVs pollute more, and at best, the two are just the same in terms of pollutants.

    The reality is harm reduction. It would be better to take a train or bus than drive any car. Better still would be to ride a bike, even better would be to just walk. But that is not feasible. Instead we just do what we can and make marginally better choices.

    Don't let perfect get in the way of good. We're after incremental changes.

  • This is a bad take. The EPA has a list already made because these lies keep going around. It is better for the environment through out the entire life cycle of a car, from raw material mining and processing to manufacturing and use, to be Electric than use an Internal Combustion Engine.
