It wasn't so much the Trump administration firing people (although that did happen.) It was people quitting or retiring for the most part.

Yes, but when when you tell a scientist to uproot their entire life from DC and move to Kansas or to the middle of nowhere. And that even if they move, that the future of their agency is pretty much over, or at least put on life support.

That could be considered a form of constructive dismissal (even if they call it just "quitting").

If it were a Chinese office with a Netherlands owning company, you can be sure the /. headline would be "Chinese Office Going Rogue Against Netherlands Owning Company".

That couldn't possibly happen!

Foreign companies (Tesla excepted) are not allowed to own more than 49% of Chinese-based companies/joint ventures.

When you buy your ticket, you can just specify that you're disabled and that you need a paper ticket as a special accomodation. After all, they already have these questions for people who need other accomodations (for wheelchairs or food). It shouldn't be too hard to add one more to the list.

And for the passengers that don't have the foresight to check that box when they buy the ticket, I'll bet Ryan Air will be more than happy to supply a paper ticket for an extra $75 fee per boarding pass (or per leg of the journey).

Zoox doesn't have a steering wheel or pedals. You do not have control of it (except for the emergency red stop button).

Right now, Zoox can not even deviate from a hardcoded preprogrammed route, so it's a long ways to be true self-driving either.

Notice how the routes it does in San Francisco or in Vegas are always the same circuits.

Getting a DUI on it wouldn't make any sense.
