You are right of course, but that's part of the joke. I think it's provokes such a viseral response because it's directly "against" the reader, not many of us can claim to be directly impacted by genocide for example, even though it's way worse.

Just in case you forgot the /s tag, that person's job isn't to collect the carts scattered across the parking lot, it's to move the carts from the cart area to inside the store. The right way to handle the lack of cart areas isn't to make the workers job harder, it's to complain to the store.

Interesting down vote battle going on on this post...

Oh, and let's just continue to screw over astronomy research for the foreseeable future. https://www.astronomy.com/science/starlink-satellites-disrupt-cosmic-studies/

There are some good points in the article and I think some poor comparisons. I have seen examples of what they mention. NASA is still demanding things from companies like a cost plus contract but paying them like a firm fixed price contract. This basically means that the only companies that will succeed in the long run are those that have billionaire funding instead of shareholders. Assuming SpaceX doesn't have cost overruns is just silly, it's just that NASA doesn't see them.

This aligns with what I have heard from folks I know in that world. Fear motivated by exaggerating one off and isolated incidents. The information silos in the conservative world (especially news) is frightening.

This doesn't even make sense, are we sure these aren't bots...

At this point I am no longer surprised just wanting to know what the consequences are.

Odd implementation of ranked choice. Probably too many choices without party affiliation listed for voters that didn't come into the booth having already researched the choices. Sad because this will probably get used to say the whole concept is bad.

If it can actually curb executive power then now or never right?

Nice! It's messed up that this strategy was needed though.

I had thought that they were going after more retirement benefits, only thing I saw in the article was a $ 5k 401k contribution. The comments didn't make sense calling this deal something that would help them to "retire with dignity" whatever that means. Would have been cool (but next to impossible) if they would have gotten back some sort of pension.
