How about we use UTC everywhere and each locality picks the time they prefer for lunch break.

Even the grass has a union.

I save time by working from home. No extra daylight necessary.

Never in my life have I started farm work at 9 am. I showed up when the farmer told me to show up (my friend's dad, who was paying me). If your not working in an office, bankers hours don't matter. I started at 6:30am when I worked at an iron foundry to prep for the first shift at 7am. And if there was no DST

Well I also hate taxis. It's a solution to a problem that Elon insists we have. But unlike him l, I have no problem riding a bus with working class people.

More efficient than a bus that can carry dozens of people?
Because that 103 Wh/km (165 Wh/mi) needs a /person on there. And with person=1, it lacks bus scale numbers.
( 0.5 to 2.5 kWh/km is what I see measured energy consumption values for 10m-18m long busses )

Maybe a nerd website is exactly the place that someone with binary arguments would go?

Extreme wealth transfers to immortal corporate entities frequently enough. 100 years from now there will still be a Meta and Alphabet. Or a company that acquired them both.

I'm in this video, and I don't like it.

Pretty much my initial experience with vibe coding.

Efficient police work should never be the priority in our society. Liberty, human rights, principles of democracy, due process, and more are all higher priority in our society. (or at least ought to be if we aren't aiming to become serfs)

I hope AI can help me make something like this absolute banger song

Yeah, I was being sarcastic (or a prick).

For what it's worth, I generally believe that the state should control vital infrastructure. The management should be transparent and answerable to the people instead of a private corporate board. The privatization of our power grid here in California has been a disaster. While it's true that running an inefficiency bureaucracy is problematic, I see it as no worse than letting a handful of people harvest record profits from millions of rate payers while providing diminishing services and literally killing people (ref1 ref2).

Maybe there's less on the line for pulling landlines versus PG&E's bad management of gas pipeline and power lines. But as a person who has no cell services in my home (I'm one of those hill people), and cell repeaters off Amazon not really working even on my roof. I can see how some people might want something hyper reliable like a land line. Especially if they are disabled or elderly and can't just run out into the front yard to make emergency calls (as I do during frequent power and internet outages)

My preference, not that anyone in power listens to me: eminent domain for land line service.
County and state government reimburses carriers a nominal fee for the phone lines and related infrastructure. If that includes non-power utility poles, then the government can lease pole access to cable and DSL providers, at the current rates. Power poles that include other lines are typical owned by regional power company and that access is already leased. Rate payers cover most of the day to day costs. Future voter approved bond measures cover infrastructure expansion, if any. Same federal grants that the phone company enjoyed, can be used by federal carriers. And all would poke the state reps to keep the funding alive.

Wild idea I know, but it's not mine. It's basically how it works in other countries that nationalize their phone service.

We have caught kidnappers before we had license plate readers. In my state my cellphone buzzes whenever the cops want to crowd source human powered license plate readers.

More of a state capitalism or fascist state than actual communism. There are no worker councils or plan to address the class struggle.

Why do you hate on capitalism?
