  • I worked in this industry as a safety driver and various other positions for over 6 years in AZ, first with a company that also made national headlines, and then with the company that has connections with a certain search engine. From the inside it's easy to see these outcomes happening more and more frequently, these companies are concerned with getting as many driverless miles as they can because that's where their data comes from, the data is where the money comes from and that's all that matters. Drivers are typically subcontracted, forced to work long and stressful hours with few breaks. Safety is emphasized, but even dealing with fatigue in the appropriate ways can lead to disciplinary action if you're fatigued too often, so it goes unreported. I left the company specifically for safety concerns and despite making double there what I make now I won't be going back.

  • In his message Newsom called the bill “unnecessary,” explaining that California “already prohibits discrimination based on sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, and other characteristics, and state law specifies that these civil rights protections shall be liberally construed.”

    Newsom and everybody else standing on this argument is an idiot, look how many categories are in that single sentence alone that didn't used to be there and had to be added precisely because it was easy to dismiss and ignore discrimination before they were specified.

  • Did you not see the stupid caption on top? It's clearly designed to push the idea that poor people are poor because they spend their money on bullshit, never mind the fact that there's no fucking context, somebody just took a picture of trash in a cart and decided to say "fuck poor people" and any other interpretation is either stupid or disingenuous

  • You're good, but no I haven't worked in IT, I've job hopped in manufacturing most of my life I just went to high school in the early 2000s and in my experience those particular things were ubiquitous enough to be common knowledge. I fully understand that there's people out there who have no idea how to operate a computer, it also makes sense to me why an IT person would see the most numerous and most extreme examples of this, but I think precisely because of that you have a bias in the other direction because everybody who has to come to you is likely an idiot, that doesn't mean everybody who isn't an IT professional is also an idiot.
