Take your wrong-wing bs away.

Follow the money? Sure: All the climate change denial is funded by the oil industry is making aover $100B/yr. Explain who's paying the scientists documenting climate change.

Hey, you never toook science in high school, or jr. high. What are you doing *here*, pretending to be a nerd?

Back in the seventies and eighties, as automation was hitting hard, and offshoring beginning, the talk was all about how everyone would get newer, better jobs in the "information economy".
They at least could point to something.

Now? They have *nothing* at all, and "we'll have fewer people, but other companies will pick up the slack" ... said by every one of them.

Reality check time: until diesel cars finally got through Detroit, diesel was ALWAYS at least $0.10 LESS than regular. Car makers, wholly-owned by the oil companies, preferred gas, which cost more.

A lot of NIH, and other government research, is available - but you might have to subscribe, say, to pub.med... which libraries are.

And no, there's not any study that ever said ivermectin was the answer.

ObDisclosure: I worked as a contractor at the NIH for 10 years, retiring in '19.

Maybe some of you are old enough to remember payphones. As a kid, they were a dime. Then a quarter. Then $0.50.

Twenty-one years ago, my soon-to-be late ex was in jail in Brevard Co, FL for terrorism (yes, I married a terrorist).

It's a proven *fact* that the more contact prisoners have with the outside, the lower the recidivism rate. But not only were the calls EXPENSIVE (trying to remember if it was $50/mo, or more). But also, there were only certain numbers - actually, I think it was one number - that they could get calls from, and landlines only.

A lot of prisoners got zip.

Got it: you have never done anything original in your life. You only do what whoever the "popular" or "important" people tell you to do.

Go fuck yourself.

Yes, I am a published writer, and that's by a small press, not self-published.

Really? So, can you name a single climate scientist who went?

MAGAidiot, why don't you see what insurance companies say and do? You might find that your orange spray-painted deity and the rest of his nut jobs, none of whom has ever taken science, has a clue.

...then explain to me how this is "ride-sharing", and not explicitly a taxi service, requiring a taxicab license, etc.

Sure. But then, I'm not (a PoS, who doesn't care about the company, about the customers, or have any clue whatsoever about what the company does), who's only interested in how much money I can extract from the company.

Oldie but goody: from 1995, Robet Reich asked "what does a CEO do that a company president *doesn't* do that makes them worth 10 times the company president's salary?

This is getting closer to the meshbots that I have in my Becoming Terran...

Dude, given folks here, I'm afraid you really do need to add [satire][/satire] tags

"Communist"? Do you just pick out words from a hat? In what way is this "communist" (citations needed). This is pure end-game capitalism scams

Just because instead of hiring tons of new grads to crank out code, they can run an AI to write *worse* code in less time, and not complain about working, oh, 119 hours/week.

Yes, a co-worker in 1995 at Ameritech *did* do that (he was working for another company a year later).
