Not the patron saint of gamers 😭😭 I want off Mr Bones Wild Ride
Ty v great explanation
I'm confused, aren't these all swing states?
I'm kind of confused. Wouldn't Trump be more accelerationist if he incites more backlash from the public?
Maybe some of them know it's bs, I think a lot of them are sufficiently brainwashed into believing it's true.
Hm, I don't think it's that ... I think that they think Trump will be worse (like they think Trump will nuke Palestine).
Are you saying he's more accelerationist than Trump was/is?

President Lee released a letter meeting a ton of the protestors' demands, then was instantly placed on leave. He recinded his statements and said it was a mistake ... the chilling impacts of an oppressive institution.
Small stores won't have to compete with big grocery stores that come in and out of their neighborhood. You don't understand what's happening in SF. You're just hating on a law that's trying to help a difficult situation, without actually understanding the context. I don't see any drawbacks to trying it, and there is a lot to gain.
And honestly, I looked for the wording of the law but wasn't able to find it. So I don't know how you can say that it's extremely open to liability. They have to provide spaces for community conversations, and put in a good-faith effort to make sure there is a replacement, and give six months notice before closing. Super reasonable, and not millions of dollars work of worth. Over time, what qualifies as a good-faith effort will be worked out through the courts (or perhaps is already defined in the law, we don't know). You're pulling numbers out of your ass to make an argument that this law is too much of a deterrent. Super gross.
I do community organizing work with a nonprofit, there is no way that would cost over a million dollars, absolutely no way.
If you're a grocer, you'd set up in San Francisco because you have a local investment in the community. Or could be a co-op. You're missing the point of the law, SF doesn't want to attract corporations. They've already been failing the city with speculative stores in huge lots that end up closing. Small businesses can't afford to make those gambles.
Anyway have fun licking boots.
Do what you will but everyone is going to call you creepy, because you are.
There is no way it costs $2 mil to set up a few meetings and write a report. The six months notice might cost extra money in wages, because when they give people notice the store is closing, they could quit unless the store compensated them extra ... and I'm all for workers having that right to leave a job that isn't going to last.
If they're operating at a loss, wouldn't they close anyway? You're talking about a business decision that only makes sense for a store that's on the brink of closing anyway. So like, a few stores close a few months early? That's the worst case scenario you're talking about. And then any new store will have to set up with the intention to stick around.
With thriving businesses, I'm talking about new grocery stores. The bill does not cost nearly enough money to prevent someone from starting up a whole store
Grammar prescriptivism is racist, and tone-policing. You're pretending you aren't making the argument that you are making, and get whiny when someone calls you out.
It's a creepy joke! Don't make it!
that's so creepy dude 😬
I thought Linux engineers would make a lot of money? Especially at your age?
