What qualities will prevent these billionaires from getting ejected by their security personnel to make room for their families?

Clean because no one has yet measured the ten thousand year containment costs and unintentional releases.

Clean because we have somehow written off the devastation of Chernobyl and Fukushima as trivial.

I don’t want a nuclear plant within 100 miles of my home because I have lived through three meltdowns and do not want to be displaced by a fourth.

But sure, in the moment nuclear emissions are super green.

Agreed. I’m in California and it is pretty obvious our water problems are due to outflows exceeding inflows. They are draining the reservoirs faster than ever. They were full three years ago and are supposed to last five to seven years of drought, by design.

Meanwhile, natural reservoirs like Tahoe do not even recognize there in a drought.

Gaslighting. Soros backed DAs refusing to prosecute and governments letting violent offenders out of jail early.

This was obvious when they did it. Don’t let them rewrite history.

No, public transit systems can only be good on paper. Then they get implemented, the fares are held artificially low for equity reasons, bums move in, polite society abandons the system and it turns into a rolling cesspool. Every time.

My private car however has only my germs. No drugs. No needles. No piss. No stinky bums laying across the seats. My music. Air conditioning. Goes where I want, when I want it.

The only difference is cost. My private car costs me a lot. Your public transit dream also cost ME a lot.

There also could be zero.

The woke mind virus seeks to protect itself.

I don’t see how bitching about your boss’s tweets constitutes discussing working conditions.

I am so glad to see this rational response to the woke mind virus at work.

Politicize and campaign on your own time. I’ve had to keep my mouth shut at work for decades. Time the fanatical left learn the same.

Stories are exactly what I’d expect: Drugs.

They don’t say it directly, but woven throughout all these sad stories is a lifetime of abuse.

Also the boosters were designed for the Beta variant. Not even targeting Omicron.

Who is going to tell them speed limits are set artificially low to generate revenue from fines?

Yes. We get paid by adding value, not lines of code. Sometimes a spreadsheet is worth more than any amount of code.

So… how are their locks? Easy to pick? Fragile? High quality?

Ah yes, the highly educated CVS parking lot vaccine administrator.

I called my local doctor asking for the vaccine because I wanted it administered by someone used to delivering vaccines and trained in same. They don’t have them and referred me to CVS and Walgreens.

I cannot help but wonder if the administration is correlated in the high number of adverse events.

Tesla’s stock price is confusing if you compare them to a car company. But they are not just a car company. They are also a car manufacturing supply chain, having brought much of their component production in house. They are also an energy company, both generation and storage, but also distribution, like gas stations. Think Exxon, BP, Chevron, ARCO, etc.

They are probably a few other things, but this is the mystery of their valuation.

Nuclear energy is fantastic and environmentally friendly for the first 50 years.

It’s the next 9,950 years that no one has been able to complete successfully.

They still are a violation of personal freedom.

Right! A healthcare system with a 100% cure rate for a 100% fatal disease. Let’s complain about the cost of this miracle.

Start mucking about with the price of this service and the next thing you know, hospitals are not stocking enough doses or the Pharma Corp has trouble recruiting volunteers to make immunoglobulin. Then you get bit by a rabid dog and go to the ER only to find out they gave their last dose to some kid yesterday and the next ration delivery is weeks away.

Miracles cost money. These people are bickering about a $20k bill when their alternative was to get their papers in order and pick out $10k in funeral arrangements.

Then get vaccinated and don’t worry about it.

People who don’t want to die can get vaccinated if they think it will help. Or isolate. Some of us have natural immunity and don’t need a “vaccine” subscription.

The CDC has been a fountain of bad science during this past year. Some of us wonder about the veracity of all their prior recommendations now.

These vaccines aren’t even a year old. If there were long term side effects, do you think they would show up in a few months? Have we even had enough time to see if people are having trouble getting pregnant? Let alone get vaccinated and then gestate a child to term.

Sure, act like the vaccines have been around forever. You are revealing your age. Some of us have seen this show before in 2009 and in the 1970s. Even with the best intentions, scientists make mistakes.

No true Scotsman here!

Ignore the data from Britain, Israel, Massachusetts, anecdotes here. Just keep on spewing the CDC/CNN talking points as gospel.

Nope and nope. Waiting for phase three trials to complete.

Wow, this guy has drunk all the koolaid.

No. The solution is for government to spend LESS. There is no amount of tax that can out earn Congress’ appetite for pork, kickbacks, and voter bribery through wealth transfer.

The only reason we are told to see the illiquid wealth of billionaires as a problem is the lie that Congress can spend that money better.

They cannot.

This is a great concept, but higher ups are on the manager schedule, meetings all day long. They live in conference rooms. If they are at their desk, most people will think twice before interrupting them.

Individual contributors however live at their desks and no one hesitates to interrupt them.

So having your execs in the open seems egalitarian, but it is an empty gesture.

Bingo.

Diversity begins in schools.

Nope. You can live code with very simple questions. Very simple. Then explore what they wrote and why. If they cannot build rapport and have a conversation with you, how are they going to build rapport and have conversations with the other coders on your team?

Same. Been happening to me since puberty. No doctor ever connected the visual distortions I described with migraines. Now I know I am not alone. Mine generally last 30-40 minutes start to finish, followed by an hour or two of wooziness. But no pain, thankfully. My wife gets three day killer migraines. I guess I am lucky.
