I'm a great believer that the workers should own companies, but the same logic applies. If it is too big to fail, then no private ownership should be permitted, either capital or worker.

In the video they answered right away?

If a human did this, they would at least get a ticket with a fine, and have the violation recorded on their license which would be revoked if it kept happening. With the computer controlled car, the cop called customer support and was like, "hey you might want to look into it or something."

I guess we can't expect the people hired to protect capital to act against capital, but it's still a bit disturbing.

Here me out please.

Throughout most of the time humans existed we lived a migratory existence. It is only with the adoption of agriculture that staying in one place sense made sense.

Now here we are, with like 2% of our population involved with agriculture and still living that way.

We should all migrate like birds and stay in cooler climes during summer and warmer climes in the winter.

Obviously this is a huge change, but we can do it!

In Holland we have 99% humidity all winter with temperatures right around freezing and no matter how many layers you add the cold wet air seeps in and chills you to the bone.

Intimidating the ignorant is bad though.

When I was at the worker's council in a company a couple decades ago, we insisted that the company update the contracts to remove illegal clauses. The companies' position was that since they were illegal and therefore unenforceable that they did not matter. We argued that employees are less likely to know which particular laws impact which clause of their contracts than, say, full-time HR staff. And that not knowing they might assume that they are legal.

I'm happy to have moved to a country with worker councils in the law to protect workers in this way.

My son had one question wrong on his mathematics final exam. He noticed that the grader took the point off on a question that he had originally wrong but had corrected. The grader fixed it when my son pointed it out, so he got a perfect score!

I help my kids with their schoolwork. It's pretty reasonable, and also offers plenty of opportunities for me to talk with them about deeper issues that schools don't have time or expertise in teaching. However even the basics they offer are okay, without any parental kibitzing.

Full disclosure: I live in Holland.

That's a good point. Pardon them as each is verified, a few per day.

This, and responsible Presidents usually have the pardon recipients reviewed and screened, as I understand things.

So, we meet at last, Florida Man!

Can't you make one atom thin sheets of carbon with a pencil and tape?

The sequel films are trash, but a lot of Disney's Star Wars stuff for the small screen has been really good.

Police don't even really have a duty to enforce the law, at least not in the USA:

There's no way to guarantee privacy. An overbearing spouse, an anti-union boss, or a judgmental pastor could all insist on seeing the votes marked as they prefer.

A voting booth was invented for this very reason.

Voting booths are important. People should be able to vote how they want, and that means secret ballots. This is only possible with a secure space.

I know that Americans love mail-in voting and yearn for online voting, but mail-in is a poor substitute for voting booths, and online voting would be terrible for this plus many many other reasons.

I prefer a touchscreen in general. Although I realize that different companies have better or worse systems. I read complaints about self checkout in the USA and scratch my head since in Holland self checkout is lovely.

Trying to use AI is a dumpster fire though.

I think that they mean you still have to eat and sleep and try to have joy in your life.
