    There’s not really a sound to it; ICE supercars have that passion thing that electric cars absolutely lack. Formula E cars might be really quick...but it doesn’t stir a lot of emotion.

    You must be a big fan of innocent until proven guilty.

    Elect people willing to make the changes.

    They’re changing the logo and leaving the actual offensive part: it’s imitation “maple syrup”

    This^ for people making that choice at 10 or 11 years into their career at the time, the matching would have had to have been much higher than 4% to make a difference.

    Sorry bout that, thought we sacked the guy responsible for those.

    What a nightmare for FAs to navigate.

    Congressman’s family sends certified letter stating he must be possessed by devil for voting for impeachment Seems logical. Hope things don’t escalate further. Solid efforts, though Kinzinger starts PAC to move party away from Trump

    Have you read about the insane stuff Kinzinger has been putting up with from his home base recently? Like literal extended family, IIRC. I’ll see if I can find. My congressman also crossed lines to vote for impeachment, and the amount of BS he gets from MAGA people is pretty ridiculous on social media. SM isn’t a broad spectrum of actual voters, but yikes. Edit: Kinzinger madness posted in Congressman thread.

    I’ve seen a pretty decent amount of AF people getting picked up by UPS/FedEx/Atlas. I think that while people are staying in for now, they seem to want to keep their options open, so I don’t see them taking 5 years at a significantly higher rate than before.

    The only thing Ja Rule is outraged about is he didn’t buy low.

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/joe-bidens-first-day-began-the-end-of-girls-sports-11611341066 I don’t think this was a good move. There should probably be a separate category for trans, because biologically male to female transitions are still going to have a lot of the physiology of the biologically male body.

    And AB5 did a terrible job of making that distinction. Uber driver can always accept or reject a particular fare if they don’t think the compensation is worth the effort.
  14. SurelySerious
    Alternatively, there seems to be a large section of Uber/Lyft drivers that enjoy the decreased commitment to that versus full employment, weighing that decreased benefits package vs flexibility.

    To be fair, the people of California passed Prop 22 in response to reverse AB5 (which, if you’re a political elite how is that not a sign that your platform was way off). What the political elites behind that AB5 platform seem to latch onto is that (predictably) Uber and Lyft put a lot of money behind Prop 22. What I thought was notable was the wide range of professions affected and against AB5. Freelance writers, wedding DJs, etc.
  16. SurelySerious
    Make America California Again? That’s Biden’s plan Hopefully they won’t export CA’s AB5 disaster to the entire nation.

    Biden to ask Congress on first day for legal status to 11 million illegal immigrants

    You’ve really been off the deep end on the political stuff for a little while here, and it’s getting worse. Really, you should take some time off of it.

    Also, with respect to your “it’s no wonder our country is so divided,” if the only conclusion you have on why someone might see something differently than you is that they’re Trump supporting QAnon conspiracy theorists...maybe take a look in the mirror and reassess.

    After 8 months of showing no concern for people who work for a living, no I don’t believe Lightfoot gives a damn. I’m not implying conspiracy, just inept leadership in NY and Chicago. What I will posit is that I could believe their policies were to spite someone they disliked rather than to try leading their people to the best of their ability.

    Mayor Lori Lightfoot Wants To Reopen Restaurants And Bars ‘As Quickly As Possible’ Right on Cuomo’s heels with the flip flop.

    The Indonesian airline that just suffered another Boeing 737 crash has a history of 4 accidents in the last 9 years — all with the same plane All previous were runway “excursions” from what I read.

    Vintage 2004 John Kerry material from Cuomo.

    Iran Tells South Korea not to Politicize Seized Vessel, Demands Release of Funds I don’t know how Iran thinks anyone will see this as anything other than a political gambit to get money for the assets and people they seized, but interested to see how it plays out.

    Biden's Plan To Release More Vaccine Is A Gamble. Is It Worth The Risk? NPR Summary: Pfizer/Moderna two-dose vaccine to be spread out as one-dose amongst wider population. Seems like if the scientists at Pfizer/Moderna say vaccination takes two doses... maybe we ought to just go ahead and do that instead of shotgunning one dose amongst more people.
