Cynicism is easy.

Yea antitrust has been a joke.

Lina Kahn is trying. She is pissing off a lot of people.

Do I know that she’ll do a good job? No

Do I think she’s even targeting the right stuff? Not necessarily

But something has materially changed in that we finally have a regular that at least talks a good game.

If you have specific reason why you think it won’t work, I’d love to hear them

But generalized cynicism doesn’t help anyone.

Because the people in charge of coal, gas, and oil companies don't want this type of stuff to take over because then they'll all be out of lots money.

They derk der jerbs!

Psychopaths don’t care.

Stop expecting that shaming them or spotlighting them will work. It will never work.

No shit. I have to swerve worse than a drunk person just to not blow a tire or bounce my vehicle sideways. Shame when our gravel roads are in better shape

Do we have an understanding of what happens to the solar panels when they become end-of-life waste? Genuinely curious about this but too lazy to search. (typical American cir. 2023?)

You also typically can’t be punished for not completing work unless it is proven to have caused damages. If a plumber decides not to complete plumbing work and it causes your project to be delayed or your home to be damaged because you couldn’t hire a different plumber then yes, but if you just don’t pay them and hire a different plumber it’s not a big deal and courts treat it as such.

For the vast majority of an employees time at an employer they are actually OWED WAGES from the employer instead of owing the employer work. In North America and anywhere I have worked it is always a pay period ending in a paycheque and not a paycheque followed by me completing the work. On the second day of my pay period my employer owes me for the first day I worked but has not yet paid me for that time yet, I do not owe them work but they do owe me wages if that makes sense. It’s a wild way to look at you owing your employer work when they carefully structure almost all aspects of the job market to never make that true so they never have to go through the awkward process of forcing someone to work against their will or attempting to recoup money they paid for work in advance.

Amen to that, brutha

Lol, what’s the matter, is your digital garbage pail kids worthless?

Crypto is just a scam and no one cares about blockchain. Maersk tried to use them but no one is interested in investing in the system. Banks even less so. No billionaire wants a clean trail of their money.

Yeah, that's pretty common with startups. Often a good founder is not necessarily a good CEO once the company hits the next stage of growth. They also often don't realize their shortcomings, so one of the investors appoints a qualified CEO and relegates the founder to a board seat.

Dockers…Nice Pants!

How are you going to start a comment by admitting that you exaggerated, and then reassert the conclusively false thing that you claimed?

And no, you didn't just exaggerate. There literally isn't a trend. Electricity prices have risen and fallen over the years, and it's at a fairly middling point right now.

I programmed on that Compaq luggable.

It’s just a way to use the wheat they can’t shovel out the door in beer.

Annheiser-Busch has your best interest at heart, for sure.

I’m doing it for fun

Making deepfakes is one thing, sharing them with the internet and millions of people is another. Damn straight you can regulate the crap out of anything. Go ask the EU.

That's old data. Battery prices are dropping and will continue to drop.

I just hit "dismiss" and went straight to the article.

That's not 'economics' per se. That would not be something you pick up in an economics graduate program but probably something you pick up from your colleagues who think just like you because of 'prevalent business school think'

I work for a startup and our BoD just let our CEO go because they felt he wasn't the right person for the job any more. Nobody else got touched.

solid achievement, keep going usa, you fucking rock.
