If the uaw gets 32 hour work week included in their union contract I have a feeling a lot of other unions will be forming ASAP.

Let’s be honest there are areas that would benefit from less regulation.

(Looking at you housing!)

books ,

I’ll agree that is A problem, but not the only problem.

  • Nimbyism
  • Building laws
  • licensing laws
  • zoning

Those things also add to the exorbitant cost of housing. It’s not investors who are causing houses to cost 300 a square foot in my city, it’s lack of buildable land, contractor availability, licensing, residential zoning laws. All those things equal cost… some of those things could be fixed with less regulation.

Are you kidding me? No area benefits from deregulation?

Regulation in a lot of areas is put in as a protection to businesses already in the space to help alleviate competition. Is Charter/Comcast is out there pushing for deregulation so that small cities and communities can come in and setup their own cheaper broadband services, or are they fighting it tooth and nail?

Does my barber actually need a license to cut hair? Sure you could argue that the barber is technically more hygienic, but that isn’t always the case… it’s just another way to make it harder for me to open up a competing barbershop.

books ,

I’m not saying slums… but look around the United States and see what states are monumentally cheaper to build in. Hint. It’s not blue states.

And I say that as a progressive in minnesota.

books ,

You do realize it’s possible that it’s more than one thing that is contributing to the cost of housing, right? … and not just landlords, despite what lemmy keeps telling everyone.

books ,

Yes. That’s why record number of people are moving to Idaho/Montana and Texas… because they are so undesirable.

books ,

I mean in my neck of the woods the issue is less landlords driving up the price as it is influx of California s selling 1000 sqft homes in California for 1 million and being able to pay cash for any affordable house here because we don’t have a supply… again see my other reason for not having supply

Given your online demeanor I feel like you probably fit in well, and I’m guessing the locals love you.

Enjoy being part of the problem but not realizing it.

Tbf isn’t that every tech product? There’s absolutely no reason apple needs to release 7 different models of phone every year when they really don’t make any large changes. Do one every two years.

Any recommendations on Garmin watches for a guy who likes to bike/bike but not crazy sports level enthusiast?

How does that work when using sync and it opens the webpages for you?

Judging from the fact that it was contagious as fuck and when it did pop up in a community, the spread was quick and ferocious… I kinda just think people who claim to have some weird shit in early 2020, just had some weird shit. Not covid.

books ,

Odds. The odds say he didn’t

books ,

Stats provide probability.

Is it possible that this dudes uncle had covid in 2019 in America? Sure, just like it’s POSSIBLE… but not likely.

Again, everyone who had a random ass flu/cold/bug in 2019/2020 almost inevitably thinks they had covid. Look at all the anecdotal evidence provided in this thread alone… but as far as I know we have zero proof of that occurring.

I mean, if he did anything wrong, I support this.

But it seems like every article doesn’t really mention what he did wrong… or any sort of proof. Seems a bit premature to jump to impeachment without evidence but what the fuck don’t know.

Nice job reading the tos.

Lol yeah in my state plumbers bill out at like 90 an hour and electricians at like 100. (Pre pandemic for what it’s worth). I get that it doesn’t all go to the tradesman but that’s still a good hourly rate

Ebola was always a fucking stupid ass red flag and made me question any data coming out of bm.

Remember when a nurse helping with ebola in Africa came back to the US when she was infected? It was a fucking national news story for weeks. Like wall to wall coverage. I feel like she had military escorts and all that.

Ebola just doesn’t show up in the middle of the Nevada desert.

I’m indifferent on the guy.

Glad he’s using his money to do shit that makes some people’s lives better. Strange that he uses it as content… but better than musk hoarding wealth and belittling people on twitter.

So I guess better than my bellwether for a shitty person.

books ,

Like I said… I’m super conflicted about shoving a camera in peoples faces while you give them money to help them in dire situations. just so you can get more views…(although, TV has been doing this type of shit for ever, think about the Olympics, every event they have some sob story about the athlete and how they have overcome)

I think it’s super fucked up, but at the same time, they are helping people. Is it more humiliating to do it this way, or to make someone jump through redtape, bureaucracy and what not to get assistance from the state?

I watched the Mr. Beast gets people vision video because I’m all for a youtube fixing peoples vision who didn’t have the funds to do it themselves. Like, that shit is literally life changing. I watched the videos, I watched the Ads, I did it all… however his other content, like staying in a circle or putting your hand on a car, that doesn’t appeal to me.

books ,

I was real curious about that too. Seems like its just a disclaimer that ya might get hacked and have you car sex leaked on pornhub.

Bernie Sanders Champions 32-Hour Work Week With No Loss in Pay (www.commondreams.org)

Dude should have run on this vs the the 15 dollar minimum wage.

This would have garnered him more support. I would have door knocked for the old bastard.

Wouldn’t a 32 hour work week, keeping the same wage, sort of raise the minimum wage by default? I work full time, work less hours, and keep the same wage?

No offense but I never once went to a subreddit and thought that the mod might be qualified, except r/science.

So if I accidentally stumbled on canning, I wouldn’t have assumed that anything there was safe to do without reading the comments first to make sure the op wasn’t a c bomb.

Shorts suck mainly because you can’t cast them.

What good is a Chromecast where I watch long form, see short form I want to watch while browsing, can’t cast it without disconnecting from the chrome cast.

No clue how that changed or why
