Comment The premise of this is nonsense (Score 1) 7

Yeah of course people from high income families get better paying jobs. They can hold out longer for better pay and are less likely to take the first thing that comes along, they have a lot more connections and family that can get them better paying jobs because it pays to be a nepo baby and they can afford to take more risks in their career jumping from job to job for better pay because they know that they have family they can fall back on if all else fails.

All this study did was discover the phenomenon of generational wealth.

Comment Forget government tracking (Score 1) 32

Completely removing internet anonymity. There was just a story of some dumb racist commenting on a black woman's Facebook and since Facebook has real names she tracked them down and drove to his place of work.

Now it's all well and good for some racist asshole, although that's a really dumb thing to do this since you never know if he has a gun, but increasingly internet anonymity is the only thing we've got to push back

When that piece of shit Charlie Kirk died multiple people lost their jobs for doing nothing more but either quoting what the man said or just saying he was an asshole which he objectively was. Also funny to watch after decades of the right wing complaining about cancel culture being happy to use it to attack their enemies...

It's like nobody around here remembers the McCarthy era. Did they stop teaching at the kids in schools or something? I mean we stopped teaching slavery was bad so...

Comment It costs money to make cars (Score 1) 56

A good chunk of that is labor and environmental regulations. China doesn't have to pay for either of those things. We know damn well they have slave labor in their supply chains. And you can Google the phrase cancer villages and start reading.

American businesses cannot compete against the government that abuses its people as badly as China does.

This is not to say that the Auto industry doesn't have problems with affordability. They've gotten used to selling $60,000 SUVs as a base model and that's not really going to fly. Hell a base Honda Civic is 25,000. A low mileage used Corolla is 20K... Also doesn't help that I'm using Japanese car companies as my example because American owned corporations employ fewer Americans...

So yeah the American Auto industry has problems but at the same time make China follow the same environmental regulations and clean up their supply chains and we will talk.

Comment Re:Are not hidden cameras illegal in California? (Score 1) 52

Thanks for that link. Interesting that he never mentions home security cameras, doorbell cameras, etc, except possibly covered by some of the exceptions. Also interesting that "journalists" have an explicit exception; I wonder how they define "journalist" today, where everyone can be a journalist of some sort.

Comment It took almost nothing (Score 1) 100

For Republican voters to piss away the Constitution and states' rights. Just one fat orange turd who said nasty things and got away with it and they would burn everything in the country down.

It really shows a complete lack of any principles on the part of Republican voters. That's the problem with the right wing they have a hierarchy not a belief system let alone principles.
