  • But they literally can't. Have you seen the average person try to put their suitcase in the overhead bin? Completely ignoring the sign that is plastered on the door and the back to put it on its side?

    Have you seen the average person try to find their seat, swearing up and down that they purchased extra leg room only to be really seated next to the lavatory?

    The plane would never take off.

    Flight crew should be paid the moment they cross security. At that point they've badged in and they should be considered to be at work.

  • Depends on the company. I've worked for companies that have a policy that you must give two weeks notice or you cannot be hired back.

    We need fucking unions everywhere.

  • and he still just couldn’t get it

    Because he didn't want to. Conservatives are biased against reality. The amount of cognitive dissonance that exists for them is so high that they build their own echo chambers so that they can be reinforced by their own ideology.

    It would be sad if it wasn't so dangerous to our democracy.

  • gestures at housing prices

    If people could download a house they absolutely would.

  • I am in full agreement. I am realizing that my point wasn't made clear. Hopefully my edit will clarify things.

  • Tbf, for profit insurance companies also have a vested interest in keeping you healthy. Healthy people require less care which means more profits.

    It's just that insurance companies also have a vested interest to make sure that they don't pay out for expensive treatments either. You can be healthy and then get cancer which is expensive vs be a sloth whose only form of exercise is walking back and forth from the front door to their bed and has heart issues.

    Edit: judging by the down votes, I suppose it wasn't clear that I'm not trying to defend for profit health insurance. Let's be clear here: single payer is the best way to do healthcare. I was only trying to point out that the incentive to keep your customers healthy is the same regardless of who is paying. The only difference is the motive. One wants to make sure they have money for shareholders while the other wants to make sure they have money for everyone to get care.

  • Honestly, I'd just Zoidberg over an AI doctor.

    I want to see these rich billionaire assholes actually be okay with a vibe surgeon.

  • Socialize risks and losses, privatize profits.

  • I mean, unless he's in a union, Trump is Putin's direct report and wouldn't be professional to dictate terms to his superior.

    Fascist followers will do anything except form a union.

  • What it is now:

    • 5 stars = it was fine
    • 5 stars plus glowing review = it was great
    • 4 stars = it could have been better
    • 1 star = terrible
    • 1 star plus review = so terrible that I had to write something OR I'm a gigantic gaping asshole that likes to complain

  • The sad thing is that they only need to win once. EU citizens have to win every single time this issue comes up.

  • As much as I would like to agree with you, permissive licenses are killing open source software as a whole since corporations absolutely abuse the software, provide very little value back to the code in return, and often DEMAND the authors patch their vulnerabilities.

    Open source props up the world and the least that corporations could do is throw 0.0001% of their revenue their way. But they can't even be bothered to do that.

  • The headline is "Trump to host pedo party at White House"

    Place your bets: will we see it in nottheonion or theonion first?

  • Because it has no copyright. Each new translation has a new copyright.

  • It's always the King James Bible.

    • It's dirt cheap.
    • The Gideans would likely donate them anyway.
    • Ain't like anyone is going to read them and even if they do, it's old school English and it will mean whatever conservatives want it to mean.
  • Many conservatives think they are part of the in group.

    They already think they deserve to be special because other people aren't.

  • I hate to break the news to you but for them, abuse of children is the oppression. For them, as long as you are rich enough and white enough, you can oppress (read: sexually abuse) children. Trump is lucky he's white enough.

    Do not compare your hatred for child abusers with theirs.

  • Because their rules are about oppressing others.

    "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

  • I know certain roles can be embarrassing for an actor but come on man! You have a job and you did a job. Yeah it's not great but if you laugh about it, people will respect you much more than if you shun it.

    Everyone pays their dues.
