In practice, it's the "Just Us" system. The reality of this is just laid more bare in recent years.

It's Schrodinger's Constitution to them. Exists when it's convenient.

You've never worked construction, at least not on the GC level. You'd be flabbergasted by how much human input and decision-making there is in any building. Constant discussions about constructibility, safety, value, coordination, and on an on. A lot of these discussion lean on experience of the construction team. Robots can't replace experience of construction workers period. There's far too many variables that robots or people who have never been "in the field" can't account for.

Some parts of construction have been helped by automation (see layout robots, CNC cabinetry fabricators, etc.) but that's drop in the bucket of a massive industry. The human element will not be removed from construction.

That's right, I'm gonna make them cart my ass off to the gulag if they want it so bad. I'm not kneeling to these chucklefucks for a second.

Elon Musk is a fascist.

Trump is a fascist.

Yep, that's the one that he said that about.

Genome is not the only thing that shapes what a person is. Gene expression is variable as well. The world, and people, are more complicated than that.

Not to mention lobbying against anything that would possibly help the situation and unseat them of their stranglehold on people's medical outcomes.

We've been led to believe that killing someone through the world's shitiest Rube Goldberg machine of paperwork, policy, legalese, and "just doing my job" is somehow not killing someone.

Killing with a pen is no morally better than killing with a gun. One just takes longer than the other.

Maybe this is some conspiracy shit I'm about to say, but maybe we should look at the common denominators here? Fill in the blanks with your topic of choice.

Both the Democrats and the Republicans have a shared interest in __________.

I asked what you thought a legitimate criticism (that wasn't presented enough by media) was of Trump and you essentially just hand waved. If this is such a problem in your eyes surely you wouldn't need to use Google or soul-seek to find an example.

Do you think him being convicted of sexual abuse was just "noise" that drowned out the actual problems? Is that something not worth informing voters about? I'm confused where you're trying to draw the line here. Is the character of a candidate not to be scrutinized? Shouldn't we try to be sure that a candidate will do the right thing even when it isn't reported on?

In your mind what is a "real" issue about Trump that hasn't been covered? I'm curious what criticism you think has been lost here. The man has had almost every detail of himself, his circle, and his platform dissected constantly for the last forever it seems like.

 

On 6/30/23, UPS and the Teamsters have resumed contract negotiations.

From the press release: "We break our backs working for this company. UPS needs to recognize our sacrifices not just with empty words, calling us ‘essential workers,’ but by putting the pay, benefits, and protections we deserve into a contract,” said Cesar Castro, a part-time UPS Teamster with Local 396 in Los Angeles and a member of the Teamsters National Negotiating Committee. “Every UPS Teamster expects this by July 5 or we will be ready to strike.”
