That guy obviously wasn’t a skateboarder. Inventing new tricks with new technology is considered by skateboarders to be inventing another sport altogether.

It’s less dangerous on skateboards because they break when landing flat from drops, but it still sucks.

Oh give me a break! With higher wages, the US Population would have its own children. I know I certainly would! And studies agree!

This article doesn’t even discuss the eternal problem of broken kingpins. Skateboarders don’t care about “turning efficiency”. I don’t even understand what that is.

If you want to make better trucks, make some where the kingpins don’t break all the time. Every skateboarder will be buying your trucks within a year or two. You’ll be an overnight success guaranteed.

That is absolutely the plan. And if it weren’t for human-trafficked labor, we would have reached low points like this a long time ago. There are plenty more humans to traffic in the world, and the ruling elite has no problem starving them away from their families and communities then congratulating themselves as though they have done a good deed.

That’s Authoritarianism!

Oh yeah, that wouldn’t work so well for Chicago then.

Chicago’s elevated trains have tipped over at least once. It’s not a pretty sight. A wider gauge might have prevented it.

Underrated comment. These are such critical concepts and really the way we should all be discussing out media consumption.

It always blows my mind that the same people who insist they don’t trust the government are the first in line to hand over all their personal data to the government, whether by way of Google, Facebook, or otherwise.

…which apparently doesn’t apply to US Senators

It would not be illegal for Twilio to share the pay of all Twilio employees with all Twilio employees.

Increasing racial tension has long been the hallmark strategy of the North American ruling class, and nobody is better at it than them.

Precisely.

Right. It doesn’t matter if landlords collectively profit because their behaviors are guided by their individual interests, not all the landlords of SF as one.

In other words, different landlords with different plans, assets, and resources will act differently. Even if the collective landlords of SF did somehow lose profit from NIMBYism’s rise, some of them will stand to gain a lot and I’d bet on landlords at this NIMBY Prom event standing to gain a lot.

So who are these people? The politicians are absolutely landlord-adjacent (i.e. NIMBY adjacent) if not landlords themselves, but who are the others? Just some desperate wage earners eager to dispose of their latest $100+ of income on this cheesy fundraiser? Give me a break!

Why would landlords in the market with the highest demand prioritize fending off competition? The answer is they wouldn’t. You’re full of it.

Landlords want to maximize profit from their property and when demand is soaring above supply, adding units is the way to do that so they are organizing to overturn laws that prevent them from doing so.

There is a reason the tickets to this event cost $100+. This isn’t a working class movement lol.

You are either stupid yourself or you’ve got a lot of nerve to act like others are, which is to say you certainly act like a landlord.

Landlords care about profit, not price.

FYI: When someone uses the term “YIMBY” all I hear is “LANDLORD” and I don’t think I am alone.

I am entertained that your complaint is about the media instead of the ridiculousness of the UK having a royal family in 2022.

Personally, I like it as a humiliating reminder of the contradictions of liberalism and the ruling class.

Linux has long been great for giant corporations. There’s nothing new about that. Linux will never suit the needs of normie users because giant corporations don’t want it to. The only thing that will change this is a major reorganization of society in such a way that massive corporations do not have so much power.

>For the most part, as expected, the world turns around just fine

That is total projection. The consequences of such things cannot even be estimated in such a short span of time. In any case, there is no shortage of studies showing recent massive shifts in quality of education in certain major western societies. Even if you were making the fallacious presumption that what has been will be, you should then presume change over stability.

Seems to have been trained on CG renders of houses instead of actual photos of houses.

How would this expose that?

Regardless, I think the biggest benefit to companies hiring H1Bs is the leverage of the employee’s citizenship status.

Wonderful! I will be sharing this one a lot. Thank you.

Europe doesn’t have the NLRB and great many stifling anti-union laws passed in the US during the cold war.

There’s not much structurally different about unions in Europe, but they exist in very different legal circumstances. Unions in the US are micromanaged by the NLRB and many complex laws enacted during the cold war.

Unions aside, Germany requires by law that corporate boards have a minimum percentage of representation from bottom-level employees, meaning employees who are nobody’s boss. This law seems to have been invaluable to working conditions in Germany. The catch is that the American ruling class would simply never allow such a law to be passed. Germany has the law as a result of history. Remember the Soviets defeated the Nazis, “first they came for the communists” and so on.

I was doing this with an After Effects plugin called Twixtor long before a decade ago.

The US population won’t be shrinking in any of our lifetimes. Migrant labor trafficking will simply adjust accordingly.
