Over the past decade they've been reconsolidating again and a lot of the small breweries are closing down or getting bought out.

Over the past decade they've been reconsolidating again and a lot of the small breweries are closing down or getting bought out. Spirits are also very heavily consolidated. Bacardi, Diageo, and Pernod-Ricard own the vast majority of your spirit selection, no matter if you're at a neighborhood liquor store or a high end bar.

Xaris posted:michael how hard can it be to write a show, just use chatgpt to make a script. bing bong so simple. INT. LUCILLE'S PENTHOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY Lucille Bluth, a wealthy, well-dressed, and manipulative woman, sits on her luxurious couch, sipping a martini. She is looking at a newspaper article about the Bluth Company's employees voting to strike. Michael Bluth, the responsible and level-headed son, enters the room with a look of concern on his face. MICHAEL Mom, have you seen this? The union is voting to strike. Lucille looks up, feigning ignorance, but with a sly smile. LUCILLE Oh, really? I hadn't noticed. Michael sits down next to her, placing the newspaper on the coffee table. MICHAEL You know this could be a huge problem for the company, right? We need to negotiate with the union before it's too late. Lucille rolls her eyes and takes another sip of her martini. LUCILLE Please, Michael. I've handled this kind of thing before. Besides, it's not like those workers do anything but complain. MICHAEL Mom, they're striking because they haven't received a raise in years, and the working conditions aren't great. Lucille chuckles and waves her hand dismissively. LUCILLE If they don't like their jobs, they can always leave. There are plenty of people who would love to work for us. Michael sighs, frustrated with his mother's lack of empathy. MICHAEL That's not the point, Mom. We have a responsibility to treat our employees fairly. If we don't, it's going to reflect poorly on the company and the family. Lucille smirks, finishing her martini. LUCILLE Oh, Michael. Always so naive. This is how the world works. Let them strike. I'm sure they'll come crawling back once they realize they can't do any better. Michael shakes his head, disappointed, but not surprised by Lucille's response. MICHAEL I'll try to handle this myself, but I need you to at least pretend to care, Mom. The company's future depends on it. Lucille raises an eyebrow and smirks. LUCILLE Fine. I'll "pretend" to care. But don't expect me to give up my spa day for it. Michael sighs as he gets up and walks away, knowing he's in for a challenging negotiation with the union. FADE OUT

Knight posted:They think all those people are faking as long as they can stand on two feet unassisted for more than 5 minutes. Or that legally blind people could still sort nuts and bolts by hand and therefore need to get back to work. The newest AARP newsletter has a blurb on how the SSA is going to be more difficult to deal with in the coming years, bc I guess they liked the clusterfucks that arose during the pandemic and want to continue them, and the blurb made a special note of how disability apps will take even longer now, bc I guess three years isn't quite long enough to get rid of the backlog due to people dying before they get approved.

I hate congress as much as the next person but paying them peanuts just (even moreso than it already is) leads to it being a job for independantly wealthy people, like how staffers and interns are paid poo poo so only rich failsons and faildaughters work there Needs to be term or age limits to get them outta there and clean house of all the lifetime podunk district grifters

Yeah, they do inoffensively bland educational videos with a corporate art artstyle. That video really digs in deep on the connection between Kurzgesagt's sponsors, the technology they push and the sources cited in their videos.

atelier morgan posted:the search engine problem isn't unique to google, they're all broken now the problem is basically garbage in, garbage out. google couldn't make their search work as well as it did in 2010 even if they wanted to, because there are orders of magnitude more garbage compared to good content on the internet now, and a lot of the garbage is specifically crafted around search algorithms that's difficult to filter as opposed to random noise that's easy to filter.

just fyi a strike authorization vote isn't a strike. The IATSE membership also voted 99% for a strike, the leadership + bargaining committee will take this to the employer and say "you have one more chance to acquiesce before we walk out". Some kind of final contract offer will be drafted, which is brought to the membership for a ratification vote. If it's voted down the strike begins. In the IATSE case, the contract was voted down by the simple majority of members but IATSE uses a electoral college weighted votes system based on regions and roles so it was ratified anyway and conditions are basically unchanged. Lots of young people just quit like usual bc it's not worth the 16 hour days and falling asleep in your car while drivong

The last writer's strike, unless one happened and I forgot, as soon as it was over snl did the most unhinged skit I've ever seen it was just every cast member's impression they wanted to make a joke about all summer but didn't get a chance to with zero connective tissue. Daniel Day Lewis looking guy walks out and yells about drinking your milkshake, then leaves. Anton Chigurh is there holding a bolt gun says my hair is dumb, boom roasted, leaves. Whatever the gently caress else movie came out just slam it all in there. A no-joke gish gallop.

Nothus posted:there's probably little difference between snl's coked up human writers and whatever gpt shits out [The stage is set with a backdrop featuring the Kremlin and the Russian flag. Ariana Grande walks out as the host of the show.] Ariana Grande: "Good evening, everyone! I'm Ariana Grande and I'm so excited to be hosting SNL tonight! We have a hilarious show for you tonight, but first, let's introduce our cast and musical guest." [Two current cast members walk out to cheers from the audience.] Ariana Grande: "First up, we have the always hilarious Kyle Mooney!" [Kyle waves to the audience.] Ariana Grande: "And next, we have the incredible Cecily Strong!" [Cecily waves to the audience.] Ariana Grande: "And our musical guest who also acts, the one and only, Harry Styles!" [Harry Styles walks out to a huge applause.] Ariana Grande: "Tonight, we have a very special sketch for you. We all know who Vladimir Putin is, right?" [The audience boos.] Ariana Grande: "Well, tonight we're going to take a little jab at him. In this sketch, I'll be playing Putin's assistant, Cecily will be playing his advisor, Kyle will be playing a Russian soldier, and Harry will be playing Putin himself. Are you guys ready?" [The cast members nod and the sketch begins.] [The scene opens with Ariana sitting at her desk in Putin's office, shuffling papers. Cecily enters the room.] Cecily: "Good afternoon, comrade. Putin needs to see you in his office right away." Ariana: "What's going on? Is everything okay?" Cecily: "No, it's not. Putin just found out that the ice cream truck is out of Rocky Road." [Ariana rolls her eyes and exits the room. Kyle enters, wearing a Russian soldier's uniform.] Kyle: "Comrades, we have a problem. The Americans are trying to hack into our nuclear codes." [Ariana and Cecily exchange a worried look.] Ariana: "What are we going to do?" Kyle: "Don't worry, I have a plan. We'll send them a virus that will infect their computers and make them play Russian folk music." [The scene cuts to Harry as Putin, sitting at his desk, listening to Russian folk music on his computer. He stands up and addresses the camera.] Putin: "Hello, America. It is I, Vladimir Putin. I hope you are enjoying our little gift. We may not have the biggest army, but we do have the best hackers. And we will not stop until we get our Rocky Road." [The audience laughs and cheers as the sketch ends.] Ariana Grande: "Thank you so much to Kyle, Cecily, and Harry for being a part of that hilarious sketch. And thank you to all of you for watching. Stick around, we've got more SNL coming up!"
