Sounds like every other party.

Why are you blaming the minimum wage worker? It is everybody with a car which is the vast majority of the adult population. Poor, middle class, rich - all of them care about gas prices and scream when they go up.

Blame everyone. My brother-in-law works for a refinery. They get beat up in the news and by politicians all the time, but when they need something it always happens - even in California. Which shouldn’t surprise - people say they want things like clean air until they discover it means gas prices go up (or they can’t drive their car at all) and suddenly they don’t care are all.

In short he was proven wrong - we do have the regulations already and they got him.

(AI probably needs more regulation)

Which is true only in the rare case you only have one office that everyone is in. As soom as you don’t have everyone in the same room teams is better. So once you have more than 50 people

With a secret ballot there is no way to know who voted for who. when talking about your vote the ethical thing is to lie.

Only if there is a monoboly in place. If there is a market then when they raise rents you just go elsewhere. Since these are items rented by the day it isn’t hard to go elslwhere in the city.

There are pros and cons to both. Sometimes you should rent, others buy. If you use it every day then buying is often best. If you need it once a decade then rent.

There always have been some around. Not all diy stores have one but there is always one near from what I’ve seen. People keep discovering them and thinking they are new.

A whole house ro filter is evpensive, so I doubt most will install one vs a drinking water system. Most plumbers won’t know about a whole house system much less sell one.

unless you live in an area where the water is so bad your showers dosen’t get you clean. Then you can get one - but you should have one.

We stopped using lead in the 80s - the existing pipes are mostly still there and working just fine. If you are in a building or city built before 1985 assume there is lead in the plumbing someplace and take action. The more important thing you can do is let drinking water run for a minute before drinking (or install a RO drinking water system that will remove lead - regular filters will not - RO is most common of that that will).

With a little care (much of it chemistry - meaning your water department - not much lead will leach from your pipes and you are okay. Okay should not be confused with good, 0 lead is what you want. However it isn’t feasible to replace all pipes in a day and so step one is doing as little damage as possible, then we reduce even that.

I’m not saying give up. There are answers, just not easyones.

Not hard to trace down who is seeding a torrent and deal with them.

The bigger proplem is copyright. Google will fight for ‘their’ creators if they discover you archiving anything. They don’t own copyrights but will tell the court that if the creator wanted their content on peertube they would have put it there.

I’m not asking that. I’m asking you to find the good content when it is there and wetch that instead. I do watch youtube when I’m out of interesting things on peertube but peertube gets first obportunity for my eyes.

There is more cntent than you hake time to watch. Look to peertube and suyport what is there.

When tech gets better so fast there is no point. we just haven’t adjust to the era of more mhz every year and so now buying to last is useful as you won’t get an upgrade from new.

They generally have a large part of their net worth in company stock and are getting options. Thus long term matters.

Often execs stick around longer than that.

The problem with large customers is they can see value and if you charge too much it goes they can build their own.
