kent_eh , 1 day ago to news in ‘Too many old people’: A rural Pa. town reckons with population loss

End up bad, but for the first couple of quarters that “rock star” MBA has created huge short term profits. And is that what really matters in business these days…

kent_eh , 1 day ago to world in Netanyahu says he won’t agree to a deal that ends the war in Gaza, testing the latest truce proposal

So you blame Israel for existing

The process that brought the state of Israel into existence caused a lot of animosity among the population who were previously there.

Add to that decades of Israel displacing more people by annexing land for their “settlements” and its not hard to imagine why there would be resentment and anger against the Israeli government.

Are you arguing that Israel should kill children?

That’s not how I read it.

My interpretation is that Israel shouldn’t be creating more orphans who will have a lifelong desire for vengeance.

All you have to do is redefine "christian-like behavior " to be whatever you want it to be, regardless of what the Bible says.

Though the bible has enough vagueness and contradiction that you can usually find something in there to support almost any position…

Well when you outsource all your skilled jobs to other countries for a few decades, it shouldn’t be a surprise that they will move ahead of your country in the skills needed to compete against you.

That quest for extreme short term profits at the expense of your own long term sustainability/survivability has come back to bite you in the ass. Congratulations corporate America, you’ve played yourself.

It’s not even limited by country. There are far too many places in well resourced countries that don’t have access to good (or any) libraries.

That excludes a lot from the biblical text.

The “no working on the sabbath” thing continues on to list that you also can’t make servants work on the sabbath - which would include the poor verbally abused waffle house staff working the Sunday brunch shift when the after church crowd comes in…

An Asian language font should do nicely.

Or perhaps a Farsi font.

They will be one of many, I expect.

Can it use large font characters from non-english languages?

The account’s discovery raises questions on just how many bots are operating on X, including those run by foreign adversaries

Far more than you imagine.

Must be a country specific thing.

kent_eh , 5 days ago to technology in Why Americans aren’t buying more EVs

Import a bunch of those cheap Chinese EVs and lots of people will buy them

Or start building affordable EVs here.

Back in the 70s when Toyota, Datsun, Honda etc started eating the big 3’s lunch on affordable fuel efficient vehicles, they responded with smaller cars of their own.

If they’re not willing to respond to market demand and competition, do they even deserve to stay in business?

Isn’t that what the “free market” they claim to love enforces?

kent_eh , 5 days ago to technology in Why Americans aren’t buying more EVs

For me, the last time I was in the market for a replacement vehicle, the 2 biggest factors were availability and price.

The dealers had zero stock (except maybe a rare fully optioned ridiculously priced example of the top of the line model), and I was not in a position to wait 2+ months for a factory order of a car that I couldn’t even test drive.
