Dante80 posted:Don't know if this was posted here. Worth a read imo. David Wong is good. Also this article is completely correct. That timelapsed map of new businesses slowly concentrating into the biggest urban counties is a pretty good visualization of how capital accumulation slowly erodes the countryside, and even turns former cities into economic abandonment zones.

The question of why the workforce has to be monitored in the first place is never really addressed though.

I find telecommuting very difficult. Home is not a good work environment. Not having other people on hand if you need assistance sucks. You are at the whim of very my unreliable technology that stumbles pretty regularly. Its very hard to do planning and organizing when you cant physically interact, and the tools meant to mimic that still generally suck rear end. Its a very narrow array of fields and individuals that can thrive ubder those circumstances.

When I worked for an internet tech support company, our project leader was a guy who was in on the ground floor of the foundations. It was apparently his original idea to sell tech support services to corporations, and as a reward he got to live in Florida playing golf every day while still technically being on the clock (this is a company based in NE Oklahoma). So you can imagine how difficult it was to get any actual leadership from a project manager, who isn't paying attention to his phone 22 hours a day.

That's the most sincere and likable picture of Hillary I've ever seen. Hot take: Hillary's makeup team is at fault for her losing the election.

Maybe she gets overly cautious because of the odds someone's going to scream about vince foster at her, maybe her idiot campaign staff tells her to do it because the robot said it looked "presidential" but go find interviews with her from 2009-2012 and it's amazing how well she comes across, and you wonder where the gently caress that person was this whole year.

I think the only time we saw a non-rigid Hillary was in the 1st debate. I was hoping that one would show up in the other two but sadly it didn't happen.

The right said her "woo!" shoulder wiggle was a mini-seizure, and they decided to play it safe and make her less animated again. Because they were bad at campaigning.

I completely get it. Like already said she's spent the last few decades being accused of everything from cattle fraud to literal support of terrorism against America so she's probably a little on edge when she gets in front of cameras for that poo poo. It's still a pretty bad issue, though.

Like even "At this point, what difference does it make" Hillary is more appealing than campaign Hillary because it's something you can identify with when an idiot bushel of corn is yelling at you for 13 hours.

But seriously the issue was she lied about it, when she had no reason to. Her friend made a bunch of trades on her behalf and then Hillary when questioned about them, lied. Why would she do that unless she was covering something up? And the rest, as they say, is herstory. ate shit on live tv has issued a correction as of 19:26 on Nov 24, 2016 |
