  • .. I can't tell if you're serious or not. How is that at all the same thing? He wore a costume to a costume party. This girl wore a costume to her client facing position while working. There's no universe where this is the same thing.

  • We're not talking about racism. Nobody has pink hair naturally. This individual made a choice to appear a certain way. If that is contrary to the business's image they are trying to project then they have every right to terminate her or at least put in a back office role, not front house client facing.

    Also how does not fall under dress code? Basically the same thing and nobody finds that controversial for the most part.

  • Businesses have the right to not be represented by someone with pink hair if they don't want that to be their image. If I show up at work dressed up like a clown I'm probably gonna get a talking to. I don't understand what the controversy is.

  • Reminder that Rick Scott's insurance company was responsible for one of the biggest Medicare frauds in history under his leadership.

    Wikipedia:

    During his tenure as chief executive, the company defrauded Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal programs. The Department of Justice won 14 felony convictions against the company, which was fined $1.7 billion in what was at the time the largest healthcare fraud settlement in U.S. history.[7][8]

    He also didn't let his administration use the phrase climate change - in a state with 1350 miles of coastline : https://www.npr.org/2015/03/10/392142452/florida-gov-scott-denies-banning-phrase-climate-change

    He was voted in as senator replacing bill Nelson, an environmentalist, mission specialist on a shuttle mission to space, and all around good reasonable guy.

    Fuck Rick scott and fuck Florida.

  • I completely agree with you but unfortunately public opinion doesn't always work that way. People are irrational and don't understand how numbers and statistics work. They hear 'driverless car caused fatality' and brains will just turn off.

    Won't someone think of the children?!?

  • I always wondered why neighborhoods, HOAs, and apartment buildings etc don't form their own insurance plans to entice people to live there. Businesses get better rates for group plans so why don't other organizations? Insurance isn't my field so I don't know if it's possible or how it would work, just curious.

  • I feel like for $7.5 billion they could build a city wide monorail system with tons of stops. Charge a few bucks a ride and it pays for itself. Or make it totally free and see what happens when your city suddenly has total freedom of movement. Bet it would have huge economic benefits for everyone. (So of course it'll never happen.)

  • What an interesting strategy. All this time we've been worried about deep fakes and stuff unduly influencing public opinion. Kudos to them for just shamelessly making shit up, very innovative, I'll give them that.

  • What council? Wouldn't their insurance be on the hook then? Eventually somewhere an insurer has written a policy for that $10m cliff side house. Per my previous point, hopefully their actuaries accurately priced the risk.

  • At least with the house on the cliff example it's the insurance companies paying for it though right? Hopefully their premiums were priced appropriately and the insurer doesn't raise everyone else's rates to cover their folly. I've no doubt they would if that's the case, but I presume their actuaries did a decent job computing that risk so who knows.
