They want to take away overtime pay “How many hours did you work this week?” “60” “Well well well looks like we only need you for 20 hours next week, so no OT, sorry about that”

this is an extremely important thing to understand. transit needs density and walkability in order to work more than it needs money. if you have the density and walkability, transit is *profitable* to operate!

Good reporting on an entirely predictable problem. Fun fact: Airbnb also covers up thousands of sexual assaults every year! Its internal safety team has "cool-down rooms" to take a break from the trauma of what they hear. It's a bad company, a bad industry, and people should just stay in hotels.

similar to the tipping point in the mid 2000s where LED/LCD high definition TVs became strictly cheaper than CRTs of the same size. CRTs were functionally dead within a few years.

Meanwhile, Trump, the person who has boasted about ending Roe, and whose appointees will seek to use executive authority to make abortion pills illegal to distribute, is a moderate on abortion per the NYT.

Every big media organization was so crossed-up by Trump winning in 2016 that they have been behaving and hiring as if Long Island-Coded Suburbo-Racist Sociopathy was on an unstoppable ascent worldwide, and interpreting everything backwards from there. It turns out most people actually hate it!

In this pod, we ask you to keep several things in your heads at once: 1) NYT does essential work on Trump threat 2) Biden probably shouldn't run; doubts about his ability to carry this through are too great 3) It's STILL true that NYT is asymmetric on Biden/Trump unfitness

Electric vehicle rebates never "fill up" (they shouldn't!) E-bikes achieve our climate, health & road safety goals better than EVs, but politicians drive everywhere & see people who bike as Others tl;dr subsidies for rich are Incentives (good!); subsidies for working class are Handouts (bad!)

a bunch of dudes I used to work with at Viacom are gonna get fired because of this. Not even sure it's Skydance's fault - Viacom's TV networks have been a mess for at least a decade, executives mismanaged formerly incredible brands like Comedy Central and MTV into the ground.

Thanks largely to Biden and the Democratic party there is now a kind of global race to get to the mass, chear carbon-free energy. We're going to hit peak global emissions (fingers crossed) this year or next. We're deploying solar at a level that blowing away every single prediction.

This is the entire view of the right and one they’re pushing out tons of propaganda about. It’s why we get 10,000 stories of people shoplifting from Walgreens and nothing about tax cheats even though it involves multitudes more money. They want to define crime as existing entirely within the poor

I think honestly a key to Trump's popularity. He inverted the theatrical aspect from one where the Meet The Press class were in on the joke and the conservative voters were the rubes, to one where the conservative chuds were in on the joke and the DC crowd were the rubes bsky.app/profile/rinc...

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.

Ageism is hiring a 25 year old instead of a better qualified 55 year old. It's not "ageism" to say that an 81 year old or a 78 year old might not be able to handle the world's most demanding job.

One thing that annoys me about the Democratic consultant class is how they act like they're brass-knuckle streetfighters and yet don't have the stones to run nonstop ads about Trump's extensive connections to Jeffrey Epstein. It's all true! It's documented! There are photos!

A common lament is there is no civility left these days, because those on the “left” refuse to be friends with the “right" over "political views."
This implies something startling: conservatives want to be friends with the rest of us. Had you realized?
