I mean east Palestine incident was just a little under 2 years ago. Rail safety was a solved problem that eventually became a problem because it got in the way of shareholders. I think John Oliver has a segment on it.

That's because this crop doesn't want to work for tree fiddy and on 4h of sleep every day. How is he gonna wipe his tears with money if he has to pay people?

I'd argue valve spearheading microtransactions was a bad thing, traceable to tf2 items and cases. People don't give them enough flak for filling games with monetization.

In a vacuum, no- but we all know life is more complicated than this chart. For example, how do they compare to the market rate of other CEOs? Are they increasing profitability (something marketshare alone doesn't say)? I'm not just gonna say "lower ceo pay = problem solved"- we have to do better. CEO pay is a systemic problem and needs a systemic solution- imo it should be capped across the spectrum or based on lowest employee pay but I'm sure I'm in the minority

In other words, the marketshare isn't tied to the ceo? I don't see the point in putting that out there without any context, like is lowering the ceo's compensation supposed to magically give Mozilla more market? Do they want a new ceo? How much is Mozilla making? What's the end goal? Right now they're competing with Microsoft and Google- it's not exactly fair competition.

Imo it feels like the content is not very fresh compared to when you played that first rpg/open world/etc. It just does not feel like these aaa studios are innovating anymore- I'm looking for compelling stories and tight gameplay loops but they're feeding us rehashed side quests fillers and eye candy. Anyone feel like they're just playing borderlands sequels where you're constantly forced into a meaningless quest to do somebody's bidding?

You know what else coincides with 2009? Google Chrome's release- a browser by a company with far more resources. I'm absolutely not a supporter of CEO pay going up in general- this post is just incredibly lazy

I feel like I'm crazy because I can't see our own leaders doing that due to sheer hubris

Blaming Biden when Americans failed the vote is a strange take. It is not Biden's fault Americans voted Trump over Harris- adults are responsible for their own choices so why not American voters? Do you expect him to act like Trump did on January 6 and initiate an insurrection?

At first I thought, "ok they've got their mind made up no matter what, nothing can convince them" Then I realized it meant they were enjoying marginalized students being at a bigger disadvantage. Clever panel.

I still remember the labor shortage from all the deportations when they found out they need immigrants to do the work no one wants to do. They never seem to learn

Their hold is so strong we elected a guy with dementia over a healthy qualified person. At this point only death canl release their grasp

The American dream has changed so many times through the generations I'm not sure there's any cohesive vision. I remember it used to be owning a house, having kids, and being self sufficient. Nowadays I don't think young people even want kids- having time and money to have fun seems like the dream, which is sort of... bleak? That should be the bare minimum, but the older generations failed them.

Makes sense, but in that case, why do law enforcement even care if the OS reboots itself if they already have a copy of the encrypted contents?

Most phones aren't letting you try more than 5 attempts before you're locked out. You can even set it up to erase after the attempts

Hooked on election funding despite it not really doing anything for her despite the huge advantage? Yeah that's a good strategy.

At this point maybe the democrats just need to embrace these hard positions and normalize them. The gop doesn't appear to care how radical their stances are and they get votes regardless of the racism. Trump's whole shtick has been normalizing bad behavior and gaslighting the other party into thinking any wrong they do is a gotcha- they're operating on two very different rulesets.

Sadly that didn't affect trump voters when Trump kneecapped the pandemic response teams (including the CDC) before covid.

Honestly it should be. If people could find ways to vote during a pandemic, they should be able to do it without one. That we've regressed is a serious issue

Right wing media convinces their viewers that any media which conflicts with their viewpoint is fake news. This perspective is super alarming because it makes it super hard to construct an argument when every set of proof is considered a lie and propaganda.
