  • Yeah let's say there was a global calorie daily limit - I suspect the truckers will feel it harder than the bikers

  • Yeah for real. Also there's levels of local. I grow as much as I can in my yard and maintain a compost. So long as I rotate correctly it's basically forever sustainable (unless something wild happened like the climate changing for some reason). Now there's an argument that it's more efficient to grow at a neighborhood level esp as not everyone can have a yard - and I'm all for it. Tear up half the streets and plant gardens instead, won't hear me complain

  • Employee owned companies

    Jump

  • You want to make sure you are at a broad based employee owned company that's committed to maintaining the broad base. They should pay out stock to employees to try and keep the ownership as un-concentrated as possible. At my company the amount of shares someone ones is a factor of their position but also of their tenure with the company. There are admin assistants that are going to retire very well off just because they've been there their whole career. It's good for retention and the culture seeps through everywhere. The board is voted on via shares but everyone has some so it's a bit more democratic. At the very least if the CEO were very unpopular they could be tossed out by the rank and file low level employees.

    That said, it's still a corporation. Management is better but still tends to attract the same sort of people. Those at the top are generally more rightwing. But it's nice never hearing about the next quarter, knowing that it's very difficult to fire people, and generally having an extra level of comradely with coworkers.

  • Yes. He is building a movement that can be utilized once he is in office. The work doesn't end on election day, it starts.

  • How Coldplay actually sounds

    Jump

  • I'd generally agree, definitely consider XY completely forgettable. That said, I think Rush of Blood is a great album as an album. Parachutes is a better collection of songs but Rush feels more comprehensive to me. Even clocks, in the context of the album, works. The only other album I enjoy is viva la vida, because while it's not perfect, I like what they were attempting with that one. I'd like other bands to experiment with those kinds of concepts so even if I don't think they exactly hit the mark, I appreciate the attempt

  • I would say at the time they were solid good. They weren't technically very complex but who cares - half the bands at that time barely even played instruments, just banged out power chords and yelled into a mic. As far as pop music goes those albums were great in my opinion. Wouldn't talk about them in a music theory class, but we were lucky to have such solid albums getting radio play.

  • Cyclists don’t break traffic laws any more than drivers, says new study

  • It's like that in my city too when people decide to drive on the streets designated as greenways. You want bikers out of your way? Give them another place to go and they'll gladly use it to get away from you. It sounds like you're describing a place where there is only car infrastructure so bikers are forced into traffic situations built for cars. That means every one of them interprets what they are supposed to be doing (either for safety or to follow the law) differently.

    Think about it this way. Someone parked in the bike lane? I'm swerving into traffic. Person doesn't see me and starts merging at me? I'm swerving into another lane. Someone intentionally decides to ride my ass? I'm getting out of their way before they get violent, possibly putting me in front of you.

    Tired of bikers in your 'car lanes'? Give them their own lane. A person in a car does not have any more value or rights than a person on a bike. And their infrastructure costs tons more.

  • Mate without due process you don't know who's getting hanged for what. 'I saw _____(name whatever neighbor you don't like) collaborating with ice' becomes a death sentence . If you're so unconcerned with hanging innocents congrats, you're the fascist now

  • The point of the due process is to determine that they were in fact one of these people. Due process doesn't mean no conviction, it means no witch hunts

  • Leaders move masses. Look at Lincoln, look at either Roosevelt (who didn't even come from the working class). They had a vision and they pulled the country towards that vision. I refuse to believe that out of 350million of us there aren't a couple people capable of being real leaders. 'we don't have the votes' - so get them. Bernie Sanders was polling at less than 1% when he entered the race against Clinton, and he nearly beat her by building a movement. The reason they don't have the votes is because they don't want them. They don't actually believe in progressive policies.

  • It's been a nightmare seeing tech companies move into the utility space and act like they're the smartest people in the room and the experts that have been doing it for 100 years are morons. Move fast and break things isn't viable when you're operating power infrastructure either. There's a reason why designs require the seal of a licensed engineer before they can be constructed. Applying a software development mentality to any kind of engineering is asking for fatalities

  • Zohran Mamdani says 'I don't think we should have billionaires'

    Jump

  • Crazy inefficiencies is why not. If you've ever worked a large infrastructure or construction project you'd see why this doesn't work. There are advantages of scale. A single company being able to handle the land acquisition, and all engineering alone for a large project is going to be like 10000 people, and that's without construction. If I had to work with 15 other companies to get a thing built I'll tell you right now that things never gonna get built. Big companies aren't the problem, small ownership is the problem. Employee owned (socialist) companies are the solution. It's not about not scaling, it's about ensuring that the workers own the means of production. If you want renewable energy, high speed rail, and sustainable district engineering we need to leverage economies of scale. It's just that we need to set up economic systems that distribute the profits to those doing the work.
