So potentially he was born 6-7BCE?

The tables were already turning.

Silicon Valley pushed a completely insane concept of free overtime for pizza and beer. They normalized the industry working 3-4 hours a day extra for free.

Because they intimidate people trying to organize, either subtly or with overt violence.

They will also go after fundraising to block it, they will shut down locations where it is getting traction, they will outsource until the issue is dead, they will encourage the 1-2 year employment cycle silicon valley employs to prevent the kind of bonds that lend themselves to organizing.

Edit: they will also just bribe the leaders and organizers. Everyone has a price.

IT is a fairly new concept and companies have rigorously resisted the creation of either a union of IT workers or a society of one like doctors and engineers enjoy

The concept of 9-5, 5 days a week is exclusively from Unions and organized labour.

As are the ideas of workers rights, any kind of safety regulation, minimum wages, paid days off(holidays and vacation).

These ideas are going away because we forgot that Unions are critical to the idea of a middle class.

Eh, I can forgive some of the extension.
Almost all of the third movie is the battle of the five armies, which is ~ a single page in the book.

Likewise they show Gandalf et al fighting Sauron, which isnt shown in the books, but is also extremely important for Saruman as it shows that he was once good. IIRC it was actually a request from Christopher Lee himself to show it and show pre-downfall Saruman.

Yeah but now they are using the threat of AI to suppress US salaries.

Rural Canadian Tire customers.

Significant Figures. Things are rarely one third down past 3-4 sigfigs. Maybe 6+ if you’re being really precise or EDMing a part.

The gutting of the US government.

1. All of the departments gutted of staff and budgets, all of the people forced out due to loyalty. The accounts out of the DOJ paint them as having lost almost all of their lawyers. I question whether the DOJ can recover from it.
2. The tarriffs and fighting former US allies. By the time Trump is out, the US will potentially not be the international trade currency, and will be replaced for its biggest ally, Canada. China is already openly moving to replace the USD.
3. That the moron and his brats pushed crypto and brazen scams.

Yeah, thats why metric is better. Sigfigs are better than fractions and weird conversions.

Fun fact: the moon landing was programmed and calculated in metric.

So, laughs in moon landing units.

Education problem.

Business students are indoctrinated into neoliberal concepts in post secondary.

When they graduate, they take up sales, marketing and management positions. They are blinded by greed and money is all they know.

It doesnt need to be more popular.

IMO, thinking like that is one of the problems of the internet that led to google, amazon and the other tech giants that functionally own access to the internet now outside of small places like this.

He clinches all of the hard rolls for the party. Exactly the role for a bard.

You need to get the better frame where you can see Infantino’s arm trying to get the orange moron to follow him.

Qatar was deplorable, but they didn’t cheat like Argentina and the US did.

That is the non critical wait time. If there is a risk at all of it bursting, that drops dramatically.

An ex had bad abdominal pain one night.

Trip to ER deemed emergency: free.
Night doctor determined likely gall stone, kept overnight in ER to be confirmed by morning ER doc: free. Morning doctor determined non-critical issue, added to wait list and scheduled checkin with specialist in 2 months All free.

Same pain next night. Same song and dance, ambulance, same ER night doctor, this time he stays overtime to ensure that it gets an ultrasound booked. Ultrasound later that morning determines it needs to come out. Admitted same day for surgery. Bumped two days because literal life and death surgeries(c-sections and a motorcycle v car accident victim) and some time to let the surgeon have some sleep. He shows up and gets it done first thing.

Two weeks later, end up getting minor surgery for drain removal because her parent’s cat purred on her nonstop and overhealed the drain scar.

All free.

Tldr: the Canadian system works on priority and is hobbled by conservatives.

Left column.
Stayed because of the far better discourse.
