  • Boeing reaches early deal with 25% higher pay in hope to avert strike

    Jump

  • I believe those are two separate things. The 4 years being for how long this contract will stand. And the wage increase being immediate change to the pay grade tiers.

    But we'll have to see when details are out. I'm only guessing based off other union contracts I've had experience with.

  • Boeing’s Starliner lands on Earth – without its astronauts

    Jump

  • Tons of them on r/space. They and the people who have become Boeing experts since February.

  • Boeing's beleaguered Starliner capsule leaves space station without its astronauts.

    Jump

  • No because it just landed perfectly fine as even NASA mission leads figured would be the case.

  • Startup Says It'll Use Huge Space Mirror to Sell Sunlight During Nighttime

    Jump

  • Hasn't made it to re-entry burn yet. That's scheduled for about 40 minutes from now. Is supposed to land around 10 pm New Mexico time. Or about 2 hours from now.

  • Side by Side

    Jump

  • Not related to that at all.

    Cheney hates Trump because of his ties to Russia. For threatening to have the US leave NATO. January 6th. And above all the cardinal GOP sin of attacking fellow party members. Liz has repeatedly been the focus of Trump's outbursts because she's stood up to him. And to a ghoul like Cheney, attacking the in-group is a big no no. Especially his own daughter.

  • Rich countries are flooding the developing world with their used gas cars

    Jump

  • In very small numbers. Car recycling/scrapping is a huge industry in developed nations. One that the big manufacturers support for a couple reasons. Main one being to maintain artificial price flooring. If used cars are expensive and harder to come by, people give in and buy new. The manufacturers knew this. But it didn't occur for them to actively engage in such practices until Cash for Clunkers happened in the US.

    Also, low income countries already get their cars from manufacturers people in western nations have never heard of. China, India, and even Iran export new cars to these nations. Options that would be easier to obtain and maintain than something like a 20 year old GM SUV never sold directly in that market.

    The author's guess at potential future concerns doesn't seem reflective of reality around car ownership economics. Plus China is already getting new EVs to some of these markets at artificially low costs.

  • Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?

  • Coming up with theory in an echo chamber isn't hard.

  • Dear America

    Jump

  • Huge fan of your style. This cements that even further.

  • If you've heard of Chapo Trap House that's them. If not, most of those kids/idiots/trolls are the type of terminally online fake leftists that give other leftist a bad image in general. They were so ridiculous Reddit got tired of their shit and banned them a couple years back.

  • A bit fucked up, isn't it?

    Jump

  • Me. Am engineer. Make great money essentially being empowered to ask why the work people are doing exists. Not necessarily to automate it either. Lot of what I do these days is process simplification. Turns out having someone who thinks meanial tasks are bullshit is a fantastic skill in my field.

  • Airlines now stop 'undesirables' from boarding flights to Hong Kong.

    Jump

  • There are plenty of people on Lemmy right now today who would still say you are.

  • The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong

    Jump

  • Yeah this article is almost a year old and it got torn up when published last year. People already knew women helped hunt. But acting like that was a primary role without evidence because of modern sports science is silly.

  • Putin jokes he prefers Harris over Trump as concerns of election interference grow.

    Jump

  • Hey you should really try a different talking point. It didn't work yesterday either.

  • If only we were that lucky

    Jump

  • And the tankies immediately pivoted to whatabouting other foreign influence campaigns.

  • FBI dossier reveals Putin’s secret psychological warfare in Europe

  • Russia is the personification of crabs in a bucket.

  • U.S. Announces Plan to Counter Russian Influence Ahead of 2024 Election

    Jump

  • The kleptocracy trying to get Trump elected (which means Palestine gets wiped out) is the less dangerous threat?

    Yeah I'm good. Have fun reposting this same broken logic talking point I've seen multiple .ml accounts spewing today.

  • U.S. Announces Plan to Counter Russian Influence Ahead of 2024 Election

    Jump

  • Seriously? Your response to this is a whataboutism. And the topic is regarding Russian disinformation campaigns. Was the irony intended?

  • China’s EV Makers Got $231 Billion Aid Over 15 Years, Study Says

    Jump

  • It's not even close actually. The figures for China are so high because the government was giving the manufacturers of the batteries and cars direct subsidization. While also giving buyers tax breaks for purchasing.

    Some of China's EV makers still aren't even profitable. But government support has ensured the cash flow needed to continue operating.

  • TIL In the 1800s, individuals secured government jobs through connections to presidents, not by merit. This practice ended after a disgruntled job-seeker assassinated President James A. Garfield,

    Jump

  • Even that is still an understatement for how looney tunes this dude was.
