  • The Washington Post, NY Times and L.A. Times are some of the few organizations that foresaw the move to digital and are very profitable, while local newspapers laughed at anyone who told them in the 90's and 2000's that they needed to adapt, and those local papers are now disappearing (while still maintaining that the 'internet is a trend and not real publishing').

    So, the smart business moves of the Post makes them one of the existing news media companies employing actual journalists that is making money. They can pay their staff accordingly to maintain that position.

  • Every time there's a bunch of commenters talking about how little they like Biden (or his administration) for 'not doing enough', I know:

    • that person almost certainly does not actually vote
    • that person does not pay attention to politics, they just repeat what they've seen on social media, which is their own echo chamber.

    How do I know they don't vote? Because they are too lazy to even be up to date via Google on the political opinions they post - they certainly aren't going to bother to actually leave their house and vote.

    That said, the Biden administration might do well to be more bombastic with their statements about their successes. I don't love the idea that the merit of a success would need to be 'sold', but you have the GOP screaming idiot things all over the media sphere every single day, and that has to be competed with.

  • Maybe not rehire, but many companies will actively continue hiring just as many as they lay off. Citibank did this for years. Announce layoffs of 5,000 employees, stock goes up, but also hire 5,000 with no announcement.

    Does it eventually kill the company to do this? In many cases, yes.

  • There's no science behind the head garb that Sultan Ahmed al Jaber wears, but he does it anyway.

    Maybe he doesn't understand science, or maybe he's just trying to lie for money, who's to say?

    Me. I'll say he's just lying for money.

  • She lives in a gerrymandered district that not only means she barely has to campaign or work, her district strategically cuts chunks out of two very blue NC cities.

    Fuck her lazy incompetent ass and everything she stands for.

    Source: my vote is specifically suppressed by her district.

  • Yeah, I'm never commuting again, either.

    For companies, your laziest employees are the ones who want to be in the office, because they know that's the only metric the company is measuring, so they go in and fuck around doing nothing all day.

    Companies who don't get with the remote work program are dinosaurs and will die off over time.

  • There are, and have been, but Republicans constantly work to repeal them, calling it 'deregulation'.

    Businesses would sell you cyanide and call it a weight-loss miracle cure if the laws didn't prevent it.
