How US permitted Utility monopoly rates keep brutally increasing when they should be much cheaper.

2 Caucasian Deschutes County Commissioners vote to dismantle county DEI program, citing not understanding why it ever existed. One minority votes against dismantling. Program dismantled.
Oregon is the only west coast state without a state salaried minimum wage. WA's is now more than CA's. Meanwhile, OR is progressive on hourly minimum wage. Why hasn't this been taken up?

Boeing workers reject contract proposal with 64% saying Boeing hasn't done enough.
Kaiser Permanente - An average corporate interaction; data and privacy abuse, incompetent use of technology, systems and services and consumers left with the burden of chasing down recourse.

I'm not a smart man, Jenny. Could we get a Lemmy formatting helper pop-up in the comment/text entry box somewhere?
How to: large photo archive on Windows, want to synch with Google Photos but store in a specific Photos folder.
98% of >24yo regret the bad "choice" of a career at all.
The carve outs were so enormous due to industry lobby it's an embarrassment and crosses the "locks in more future harm than good it releases" threshold:
...Game consoles, Smart home devices, biometric security, Farm equipment, off-road gear, EV chargers, routers, modems, medical devices, set-top boxes, and a ton of industrial stuff...
Yes but that's all lip service to Trump's wild claims of Canada and Mexico being hotbeds and the source of all drugs, criminals, dark skinned people, etc. To even acknowledge that clown's claims in their language is to let them set the agenda. Canada can and should do what it wants at its border but not with a fucking patriot act style national security giveaway.
Just remember, once it's there, it's there for any future admin. This was written for Trump and by industry lobbiests in CA who would benefit from decreased tarrifs and/or security/weapons/data companies that want far contracts.
It was probably among the less likely ways to die, they didn't even get to that layer of death possibilities, I mean why worry about it when long before that you have knives, swords, arrows, cannons, blunt force objects, explosive gunpowder...honestly maybe among the least grisly? And I say that hating the idea of drowning.
It appears someone didest counteth to three and lobbed the HHG at their foe...

It's practiced by many, in alignment with arrogance. Many different flags, cloths, creeds and livelihoods depend on it.
Intuit about to hire a "private Security company"
Your brevity is perfectly cromulent.
It's global. Denmark just increased retirement age by 3 years. The UK is trying their best to serve their wealthy masters and worsen their system. The fascists running the US right now claim social security is "insolvent" but have passed decades of giveaways to wealthy and corporations instead of funding social security and many other basics....all on the eve of trillions in giveaways of their proposed budget.
Yeah, it's super important for systems that are irrational or benefit some groups more than others, to discourage education, questioning, and substantive debate; they know they would lose. Most religions are like this.
"But in the past year-and-a-half our congregation has tripled in size."
Still the same 2 dudes, I deliberately misleading you with that phrase and was referring to bicep circumference.
Maybe ask him how he feels that his vote is enabling fascism and that he's been led down a path? Tell him you'll accept him calling you as a leftist as an insult if he'll watch this clip the US DOD put out to help Americans identify fascism after WWII. As him if he can honestly say he doesn't feel like a sucker for allowing fascism to take root?
Any time he brings up your politics call him a sucker. See if he can't start working his brain a bit to get out from under it over time, or at least see some of the gaping holes in his view.
So what are the reforms sought that the government is trying for force onto workers in lockstep with major declining states? Can I guess longer working years, reduced benefits...?
General feels are nice and all but now they need to vote. As much as Trump and co distorted relatiy about rallies a ton of union members keep voting for their own destruction.
