Democratic Gov Tim Walz, who vetoed a bill last year that would have boosted pay for Uber and Lyft drivers, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he was concerned because so many depend on those services, including disabled people.
I get the sentiment, but relying on private for-profit companies to provide basic transportation services in a city is stupid. That's how Minneapolis got in this situation.
It's really hard for me to feel sorry for any of the parties involved so the ethics feel weird.
I guess the law firm saved the shareholders from being fleeced and they want their cut. It's obscene, but still a small fraction of what Elon would've walked off with.
I gave it fair chance and watched the first three seasons. There were a few bright spots here and there, but I never connected with the characters or felt like the writing was up to par. I still hope they pull off a good final season, but I'm not planning to watch it any time soon.
Anything involving Romulus’ star means that ‘saving the planet’ is completely impossible.
Eventually, yes, but if it were possible to collapse the exploding star in a way that didn't totally roast the planet it would buy a fair bit of time to continue the evacuation. It'll get very cold and photosynthesis will stop, but with enough power and food, the population could hang on for several years if needed.
I'm pretty sure the Ukrainians will cease firing once the Russians leave their country and stop trying to murder them.
They're not, but a little cumbersome to carry around and find power on a heist.
There are loads of little pocket sized battery powered jammers available now.
The AIs already pulled loads of data from Reddit and can re-use what they have. They don't necessarily need to go back ever again, and they'd only pay for access to newly created data if they care at all.
Yes. Because it still works and hasn't all been replaced yet.
The burden is on the telcos to prove otherwise and justify all the subsidies they got to wire unprofitable areas.
I don't really see that happening tho. She barely criticizes Trump as it is. Once she loses, she'll go back to publicly fellating Trump and saying what a great man he is. I'd love to see her go full Liz Cheney, but she's far too self-serving for that.
After living through the last few elections, I'm not going to bet on whether Biden vs Haley or Biden vs Trump will lead to a better result. But I really don't see how helping Haley would actually accomplish anything. Even if the Democrats made a big (wasted) effort to push & campaign for Haley, it's not going to be nearly enough to make her the nominee.
Absent the Supreme Court declaring Trump ineligible (don't hold your breath) It's going to be Biden vs Trump. Prepare for that. Messing with the Republican's sham primary is a waste of effort and a distraction from more constructive things Democrats could be doing like getting their voters registered and ready to go to the polls in November.
I too prefer spending less money for a better experience.
