Wow. "Makes teens feel unsafe"? Care to explain that?

The rest of your comment is so absurd I'm not going to bother asking.

The biggest issue where I live (Philadelphia) is the plague of motorcycles and cars with exhaust systems deliberately altered to maximize the noise generated. The police won't do a damn thing about it. Most people seem to accept and even defend this situation with one of the following retorts: 1. With all the murders and other crimes, the police should not be wasting time on this. 2. That's just how cities are; if you don't like it, move to the suburbs. 3. Kids are just having fun, Karen!

By the way, I've lived in the suburbs, and the situation with leaf blowers is just as maddening.

I would not apply unless I was desperate for a job, or if enough time had passed or leadership had changed that I felt sure it was no longer the same company. The way companies treat applicants should be seen as a reflection of how they would treat employees.

I saw the government-owned groceries when I travelled in Eastern Europe in the 1980's. Sure, prices were low, but shelves were often bare, and people waited in long lines waiting for food to appear. Seems this guy thinks he can attract voters back to the Democratic party by emulating this system.

This looks like the sort of thing one sees in a freshman sociology or social psychology class, regurgitates for the exam, and then forgets.

Until it reappears in the annual corporate team-building session, after you've been given your Myers-Briggs type.

I am not a lawyer, but I'm pretty certain that a plan like this is blatantly unconstitutional. Harris knows this too, and knows it will never happen, but it may buy a few votes in the meantime.

To be sure, I'll vote for her anyway, because it's not as batshit crazy (or dangerous) as many of her opponent's plans.

So these bros work long hours for a couple of years, making more money than I've ever made in my career as an engineer, then become private equity ghouls shutting down hospitals or their dad's factory. Somebody give me a handkerchief!

"As many as 150,000 people have died...Another nine million have been forced from their homes." Where are the protests on US college campuses? I guess this doesn't matter, because they can't blame it on Jews.

I worked at a company with a technician who clearly did not understand this. When I asked him to order an assortment of resistors with a range of values, he came back to me and said that Digikey did not have most of them. Turns out he had submitted a request for quote, listing desired values in a linear progression: 1 ohm, 2 ohm, 3 ohm, 4 ohm, etc.

It's not very effective, then. Back when most people were masked, I had little trouble recognizing most people from the uncovered parts; facial recognition software is even better at it.

And many of these masked activists are happy to give their names for attribution in social media or quotes for the press.
