Vincent Van Goatse posted:Is it just me or does "unhoused" sound like a euphemism for "homeless" instead of being a more precise term like its supposed to be? I mean, I get what they're going for but it still seems unhelpful somehow. It’s obviously not the same thing but it makes me think of the people saying “unalived” to get around word filters for “suicide.” I’m skeptical about mental health and social service funding being an effective solution for the violence we’re seeing in the US. It would be a fantastic good in general, but would it really put more than a dent in reducing all these killings? Does everybody in the countries where this doesn’t happen have such a great commitment to therapy and perfect socioeconomic conditions for happiness? Weapons proliferation really does seem critical to address. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 12:11 on Jun 3, 2022 |

We’ve slid faster than anyone else recently but places like Mexico or India are worse than the US and nobody would call them failed states.

Grip it and rip it posted:lol ehat we are experiencing is a reversal of the progress of the second half of the 20th century. We still have a long, long way to go to reach failed state levels. The US didn’t exist prior to 1990 so we don’t need to get into the absolutely incredible levels of misery and inequality the state has managed to survive through over the years.

Twitter has the ability and the motivation to force the sale at the agreed-upon price so I guess we’ll see how well a billionaire can wriggle out of a jam at the expense of another billionaire (company).

shame on an IGA posted:Musk would've been overpaying for twitter at market value on the day he closed the deal much less at the premium he locked himself into. How negligent is the Tesla board being right now in not dumping this loser playing games with their company’s value? Kind of a rhetorical question since I’m sure he has a nice golden parachute but geeze. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 12:30 on Jun 7, 2022 |

CommieGIR posted:Just don't. Go look at any other EV than Tesla. Its not worth it. They’re such a rancid pile of QC issues and aggressive cost-cutting. It constantly amazes me that a company that puts out such a large volume of vehicles at high margin still finds ways to constantly be on the verge of collapse, but I guess their board has to be in love with Elon’s brilliant leadership as long as he has a stranglehold on the Reddit incel base.

Wasabi the J posted:Sorry I got defensive. I care and I'm stressed about the environment and have a 40 mile commute now because my job moved and I don't have infrastructure to make it there by even e-bike in a reasonable time, so I'm paying 100 a week to drive to a job I can do from home. Yeah I mean you can yell at me about bikes or whatever but I’m never moving into the loving city and that means I have a serious commute. I never got the point in lashing out at people over individual environmental decisions, if it’s even realistic for people to make them. I meticulously sort my trash and recycling and it turns out it’s all just collected and dumped in the ocean anyway. poo poo like this: quote:Renewlogy’s equipment could not process plastic “films” such as cling wrap, as promised, Boise’s Materials Management Program Manager Peter McCullough told Reuters. The city remains in the recycling program, he said, but its plastic now meets a low-tech end: It’s being trucked to a cement plant northeast of Salt Lake City that burns it for fuel. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/environment-plastic-oil-recycling/ It would probably be better to bury it.

Raerlynn posted:They don't really. Sinema and Machine have and continue to oppose Democratic initiatives for various superfluous reasons. They are this decade's Joe Lieberman. The majority they have is on paper. Not being able to whip their own party is a failure of leadership, and I’m not going to let the Dems do a “no true Scotsman” thing now that they’ve failed to find leverage over Manchin and Sinema after acting so proud of them in the past (well, of Manchin at least). We saw this happen to the Republicans when McCain sank the ACA repeal but it seems that generally they’re far more capable of uniting around votes despite having extremely disparate beliefs within the party.
