rkd_ posted:Franchisors being civilly liable for whatever franchisees are doing sounds wild to me. why? manipulating the profit motive is the only tool government has for changing the behavior of corporations and business owners. the franchisor profits from the franchisee's fuckery, make em bear the costs of enforcement

wait you're telling me fuckin pg&e is in charge of a nuclear reactor? the folks whose aggressive deferring of maintenance has a loving body count?

thats frightening that the entity that cant operate gas lines or overhead power lines without killing people is running a nuclear reactor

hadlock i know being confidently wrong is your gimmick but its ok to be like nuclear good, pg&e bad

i've no reason to think they're incompetent, same as i have no reason to think pg&e's linemen and gas...men? are. the linemen cutting work early for some beers with the boys didnt burn down paradise, their hours being cut by leadership did

cops, firefighters, hospital(administrator)s, and mayors aren't the last people i'd trust about how to house people, but they're pretty far down the fuckin list

Hadlock posted:Firefighters aren't completely terrible they're at least pretty good at their job, don't pick skulls as their symbol of choice. At worst they're neutral good. I've not met a firefighter I would throw out of my house every firefighter i've ever met who didn't leave after a few years was a huge chud despite being a unionized government employee. idk how representative that is, as most of the ones I've met have been Cal Fire, but still. Not people I'd look to for anything other than the "hassle them into invisibility" status quo

if it proves anything, musk's comedy of errors buying twitter is proof you can never have so much money that you can't blow it on stupid bullshit. how much money is "enough" depends entirely on someone's taste for stupid bullshit

Bald Stalin posted:It's fine until you have something a bit rarer. yeah. i kid about kaiser but most of their bad reputation comes from years and years ago when they were much more mba-brained and less medicine-led. the only recent gripes i've heard from anyone have all been like you describe, getting a huge lumbering bureaucracy to deal with outside-the-bell-curve stuff. one thing they do that i have always been jealous of is their hospitals actually have dispensing pharmacies. when you're a kaiser patient and get seen in a kaiser er, new prescriptions get filled before you leave. i'm with sutter now and i had to drive for three hours to san rafael once to get a scrip filled on a friday evening, with the only alternative being "wait three days". for pain meds for a corneal abrasion.
