Weird. I rode in a self driving Lyft car in Las Vegas a month ago. I must have skipped a decade.

The tech company doesn't have to agree to a union. If the employees decide to form a union, there's nothing short of closing down that can stop them.

Union dues are not expensive, and are in almost every case more than made up for by higher wages.

Yes, exactly right. I think the universe will probably be teeming with life, and almost all of it will be bacteria or something very much like it. That was all the existed on the Earth for most of its existence.

>Restaurant industry? No, absolutely not. Remember that they're not subject to minimum wage constraints, they rely on tips.

Not in Seattle, they aren't. Tipped workers make the full minimum wage.

>Genetic diversity is greater inside a "race", than it is between "races". So the term is not even defined in science.

Of all the arguments against the concept of race, this is the dumbest. While it may be true that there can be great variation within any given group of people, there can still be huge differences between different groups. While there are fast and slow runners within the Kalenjin tribe in Kenya, they are still, on average, the best distance runners in the world, and that's a racial trait.

Seattle already spends hundreds of millions of dollars per year on the homeless, and it's worse than ever here. There is a significant percent of the homeless population here who don't want help. They want to live in an open air drug market that used to be the neighborhood park,

>As soon as you hire an employee and do not grant him equal rights of control, then there is at least one worker who is not in control of the means of production.

Why would anyone be interested in this? I don't want to run a business, or be involved in the decision making process at all. I want to do work that I find interesting, get paid for it, and then go home. I don't care at all that I have to give up a little of my productive labor to do so.

Let's count the idiots who didn't RTFA. 1. 2. 3....infinity.

Lol. As someone who just went through a divorce, let me say that this strategy is comically flawed. If you quit your job to avoid paying alimony or child support, the court will hit you with imputed income, which is based on what you could be making instead of what you actually are making. Being unemployed doesn't get you off the hook for jack shit.

Gaming is not, nor could ever be, an addiction. Having a lack of even the basic willpower it takes to put down a joystick is not a medical condition.

You are historically ignorant.

Yes, that's the theory. The practice is wildly different.

What crime? Afaik, the espionage act has never been successfully prosecuted against a member of the press. Even if he conspired to gain access to classified documents, so what? The pentagon papers decided that outcome almost 50 years ago, and it didn't go in the government's favor.

Lol. That's the funny part. I do too, but I'm not going to devalue my work by giving it away. 40 hours is the deal, and I'm sticking to it.
