Dude, have you seen Taco Bell prices lately? Who the fuck has Taco Bell money these days?

So, basically shitty bosses are shitty?

It was only 1.3mil in memory l… So by delivery truck did you mean 1 small FedEx blister pack?

That is true, but I am not sure why you are telling me. Responded to the wrong comment maybe?

You can file complaints with the FCC, but the FCC doesn’t actively monitor it. The biggest problem is that no matter how the law is written, they will find ways to abuse it. The law actually requires that the average volume of the ad not be greater than the average volume of the show. And it even specifies that the average is a running average, not just the peak vs lowest. But then loud portions of the show pump that average up. Like let’s say that during the credits you play really loud music, or really loud bloopers, well that would bump average. And if the commercial had a really long quiet period, like a long section where someone whispers the side affects a medication, well that bumps your loudest allowable portions up. They can also wait for the quietest part of a show to make the difference more significant.
And there’s much more that they can do that makes it seem louder, like frequency boosting and audio compression that are all totally legal. So, they can actually bump the apparent “loudness” of a commercial quite a bit and still be legal.

Not if Fortune is trying to blame the lack of manufacturing in the US on the workers instead of the greed of corporations. It’s called white washing.

Anecdotally, I also work at a job that no one gives a shit about either. But I would still be upset if it got offshored. In fact, I did the very thing that they tell you to do, I figured out how to make money from one of my hobbies and personal passions. Now it’s just work and I refuse to do it unless I’m getting paid to do it. Look at how many YouTubers just fucking quit even if they are making a good living from it. My guess though is that since you’re still working there that you prefer it over the shittier options you have available to you? I bet it would even be better if there were more factories competing for your skills.

Fortune is not as bad as many other “news” organizations, but they do shill pretty hard for the corporate overlord. So, Fortune claiming that Americans don’t want to work is on par with Santa Magazine saying that kids love to sit on the laps of smelly old men so much that they will line up for it.
Of course Americans don’t want to work in hellish conditions for no benefits, no job security, and slave wages. Also, most college kids don’t want to work in a factory, the whole point of college is to pull themselves up out of the blue color job market. So if you wanted to write a piece that explains how it isn’t the corporations fault for offshoring jobs, it’s actually American workers themselves who don’t want to work then ya, depending on where and how you ask, you will definitely get a large number of people saying no thanks.

• Most Americans do not want to work at a factory.

What kind of nonsense is that? Look at the insane number of people busting their asses at meat grinders like Amazon warehouses and tell that they wouldn’t give that shit up in heartbeat for a union manufacturing job.

Before that prisoners will be operating machinery remotely from their cells. Then they will reintroduce debtors prison.

Actually, he’s an illegal that somehow managed to get his hands on a citizenship even though he should have been kicked out and banned by law. He is literally the illegal that all the conservatives keep whining about. He’s the one that keeps taking away their jobs. The one time that they get anything correct, and they fuck it up rather than kicking him out.

Hillary Clinton.

This truly is the weirdest timeline. The only division of this shit company that brings in any money is the space and rockets division. However, the technology divisions are a money pit.

This is about protecting kids as much as Trump was going to clean the “swamp” or release the Epstein files. I have read the bill, and it doesn’t matter what it says right now because what you read is not going to be what gets signed into law. By the time it gets on the books it will be a butchered piece of shit that will do the opposite of what it claims it will do now.
As for your claim that we should all just be happy with government mandated surveillance, well you can just go tell your 3 letter agency overlords that I am not interested. My options to avoid mass surveillance and having my every word and move tracked may be diminishing at an alarming rate, but I am not going to accelerate it’s deterioration just because you are a Steve Job fuckboy who puts down your high score in flappy birds under “computer experience” on your resume.

He never intended for it to pass. He just wants to be able to say that he was on the popular side of an issue. Don’t forget, he wants to be president more than anything in the world, so everything he does is about the next presidential election.

“What? Evil? Not us! No, we’re just disappointed that the heavy marketing blitz to get kids to wear these while we definitely would not be taking secret pictures and vids has to be scrapped. ~For now.~” –Facebook execs probably

Call centers maybe. Actual tech companies? No.

AI is just another smoke screen. If AI was doing as much as they say, why would a company cut people rather than doing double the work it could do with the same work force?

Executives don’t get bonuses and rewards based purely on “profit”. While there is “profit share” in most companies, that is mostly for the peons. Compared to performance bonuses, stock options, and all the other rewards that require all sorts of accounting shenanigans, profit share is very minor. These types of rewards are mostly based upon meeting specific performance markers. Once those markers are met, they have no need to cut further. In fact, they’re fully aware that cuts will hurt next year’s ability to hit those markers. If they are at the point of doing job cuts in order to meet their bonuses, that means they’ve already turned every other dial and flipped every other switch that they can to push the numbers up.

Also, nobody wants to admit that the economy is spiralling into another great recession, especially not with a nutbag in the white house who will outright attack you and your company if you don’t tow the line and pretend everything is great.

I understand, and somewhat agree with the ideals that you are putting forth, but in this case they really don’t fit very well. The father caught the 67 yr old guy in the act of kidnapping the 13yr old daughter at 1am. So, that brings in a lot of questions that your theoretical discussion doesn’t cover.

Of course, the entire situation gets even more fucked up as you find out things like the father was a applying to be a cop at the time. Which leads us down an entirely different rabbit hole of issues.

Also the same thing that they do when they suddenly realize that they are about to be obsolete.

Once AIs can do a better job of creating themselves than AI companies, then there’s not much need for AI companies anymore is there?

Can you imagine what a hellish environment this would be to work in? And what are the odds that they are cooling the interior of the tents to anything that is not hellishly hot?

Idling? What makes you think that these things won’t be running at full blast 24/7?
