Comment Economic worship (Score 4, Insightful) 264

Destroying middle class has predictable consequence of tanking birth rate. News at 11.

"We must have constant inflation or people might, you know, save!"

Then... basics cost (a lot) more and mid- to low-tier wages don't even come close to keeping up

Brutal housing, education, medical, food, vehicle, and fuel costs, crushing taxes on the lower tier workers... gee, sounds like a great circumstance to bring some ever-more-expensive rug rats into.

The "American Dream" is deader than Trump's diaper contents for a large swath of those of an age to be pumping out crotch goblins. But hey: The stock market is doing Great!

Or perhaps it's just that no one wants to hump someone with their pants falling off their butt — or otherwise dressing like a refugee.

Obligatory: get off my lawn.

Comment Re:Solid leadership, Gov Newsome (Score 3, Insightful) 335

The CPUC directors are all Newsome appointees. The Commission loses millions of dollars a year from their accounting. It seems like perhaps if they were paying attention, they could have foreseen this problem arising as the solar input steadily increased over the past 20 years.

It's a regulatory agency. How are they supposed to turn a profit?

Comment Even fake leather is better (Score 1) 39

There's a reason that there is a saying that goes "Wears like leather." Leather is an excellent material to make durable stuff out of if it can't be made out of metal or needs some give.

Even if you can't bring yourself to use real leather from any animal (a waste Native Americans would chide you for given how much leather is produced as a bi-product from raising cattle for food), there are plenty go fake leathers that feel great and wear really well!

The "fine woven" stuff was crazy bad. I upgraded my phone this year and waited to look at the cases in person, and wanted no part of what I could tell was a terrible material just by touching it. You could tell just from sample cases in the store it would not wear well...

Generally though for me, third party cases have been simply better for a number of years now, and first party Apple cases have just not been as good. But they could at least get back to making soemthing that felt and looked premium.
