I don't think anyone is arguing that a pure free market exists.

Having a capitalist economy doesn't mean that you have a pure free market anyway.

Although there are libertarians that would like to have a free market like that, every capitalist economy has regulations in place in an attempt to prevent monopolies and/or businesses having too much power in one area.

I wouldn't dehumanize Republicans that much... even they are turning their backs on Noem, which is what most of this article is about.

A handful of shares don't really mean much in terms of having a say in the company.

With Mondragón, is the voting based on the number of individuals in a company, or is it based on the number of shares that an individual owns?

The article didn't go into detail in how much of a say each employee has (or maybe I missed it?).

Even if it is votes based on the number of employees, in a company like Mondragón (with 70,000 other employees) wouldn't you still say that a single vote doesn't "mean much in terms of having a say in the company?"

It feels like this would work very well in companies with a smaller number of employees, but the fact that a large company like this is successful with this model is a good sign.

A model where all of the employees own shares in the company.

More than its economic success, though, Mondragón has become a beacon for the co-operative model, as a more humane and egalitarian way of doing business that puts “people over capital”. Every worker has a stake in the company’s fortunes and a say in how it is run, and receives a share of the profits. But the goal is more about creating “rich societies, not rich people”. That means looking after workers during not only the good times but the tough times, too.

Link inside this article, at least 94 people have died from sedatives when restrained by police from 2012 to 2021.

Would be interesting to note how many people have been given sedatives at all when restrained by police... averaging 9-10 deaths/year should definitely cause us to rethink the viability and even legality of this practice.

It was bad enough when Hertz was reporting tons of active rental cars as stolen and getting over 100 people arrested: https://www.inc.com/minda-zetlin/hertz-lawsuit-arrests-number-unsealed.html

Now we have to worry about Dealership loaners as well?!

Dispatchers should take note and start asking callers if the car is a rental/loaner... or in the case of Hertz, just ignoring their automated software reports entirely.

How is this live? It's already dark in Los Angeles... (Sunset was 30 min ago: https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/los-Angeles)

Even in more controversial things like abortion there are a large number of people that agree on the same thing on both sides. Once you throw out divisive labels like "pro-life" or "pro-choice" and look at the specifics, you find that it's not really a 2 sided issue at all: https://www.npr.org/2019/06/07/730183531/poll-majority-want-to-keep-abortion-legal-but-they-also-want-restrictions

Did I say they weren't?

To be fair, you did in fact say that "emergency landings for any reason are the worst."

I'd rather have an easily repairable phone than a supposed "deterrent" for which workarounds are eventually found.

Income up to $50k untaxed.

I wouldn't set a hard number value for this. Make it based on how low income is defined, or something dynamic that can change over the years with inflation.

For example, in parts of California you could be making $80k and you would still be considered low income because of how expensive it is just to live there. After paying for housing, there won't be much left over.

Just don't get one from 2017-2019. They've been recalled at least twice for going up in flames. As of now you're just not supposed to charge them overnight or park them inside of a structure.

The Slatereport one looks to be the original judging by the time that this post was created and the time that The AP put out their article.

I just think that news organizations really need to start crediting the journalists that wrote the story. Especially with generative AI on the rise.

Edit:
Time of this post ~1600 UTC
Time of AP article 1718 UTC

https://apnews.com/article/omaha-police-nebraska-shooting-deadly-db3b25b907752a328e4fc50120f642bc https://www.kob.com/news/us-and-world-news/off-duty-nebraska-police-officers-shoot-and-kill-two-men/

Part of the problem is that cops are legally allowed to lie as an "Interogation Technique" (in the USA at least).

One of the officers was wearing a body camera when the shooting happened, and detectives are reviewing local businesses’ security footage as part of the investigation, authorities said.

Looks like there's a chance we can get something close to the full details as to why this happened.

In other news... this article is an exact copy of this one, word for word: https://www.kob.com/news/us-and-world-news/off-duty-nebraska-police-officers-shoot-and-kill-two-men/

I'm guessing Dave Collins wrote it originally and then The AP picked it up and then it gets posted by KOB, but they just credit the AP without crediting the original journalist? Is that normal?

Since a lot of discussion is happening around how they're going to implement this, and the article doesn't go into the details, here's more information: https://sd11.senate.ca.gov/news/20240124-senator-wiener-introduces-groundbreaking-bills-slash-california-road-deaths-epidemic

In line with NTSB recommendations, SB 961 requires every passenger vehicle, truck, and bus manufactured or sold in the state to be equipped with speed governors that limits the vehicle’s speed based on the speed limit for the roadway segment. The maximum speed threshold over the speed limit for that segment that the speed governor may permit the vehicle to travel at is 10 miles per hour over the speed limit. SB 961 also permits the vehicle operator to temporarily override the speed governor function. SB 961’s speed governor requirement does not apply to emergency vehicles.
