Musk is simply pointing out that many Western Jews keep strange bedfellows - a fair number of whom support the outright destruction of their homeland.

It's only being labeled antisemitic because Musk has been on the "outs" due to his recent politics (supporting free speech / transparency, being against lockdowns/mandates, advocacy for election integrity, etc.).

My sense is these rules are focused on biometric based tools, specifically those in "high risk" systems as classified by the law.

I think this has less intersection with sentiment detection tools that generate telemetry to help with support escalation use cases, etc.

Other opinions?

It's just different order of operations on coalition building. Other systems divide into a majority and opposition at some point. In the US it just happens earlier, but there is the same diversity of opinions within those groups.

Can we just all start operating from the perspective that we're not trying to offend each other?

Do away with all these rules that serve no purpose other than to slot each other into buckets of enlightened and evil.

It's a sign that we have things way too good.

As with any event, multiple factors were involved. I have no doubt tech and process could be at the center, but our self-imposed response to COVID undoubtedly had major impacts.

The market can more than solve this, if it's an issue. We don't need to impose yet another regulatory burden on an industry already nearly completely insulated from competitive forces that drive innovation.

Except the pickle ball court was a conversion of existing recreational facilities (basketball courts?) long requested by employees.

The unnecessary, axe-to-grind editorializing undermines some of the credibility here, imo. There's no way this event hinged on a simple, binary "invest in tech" or "don't invest in tech," and that execs thumbed their nose at the latter.

I don't really care if Southwest tried to negotiate for it, chose not to for some well thought out reason or just dropped the ball. The fact that they have to negotiate for it is broken. The "system" is not set up to allow for agility and innovation. Instead, it acts on protectionist incentives on all sides, none of which directly consider the consumer first.

The fact that a provision was required tells me there was already a provision, negotiated by the AMFA, requiring bag handling to be done a certain way to protect jobs by indirectly limiting innovation and automation.

These sorts of things rarely benefit customers.

Not quite.

The emergency procedures were likely put in place due to crew resourcing issues that were fallout from the storms. These procedures require more stringent review of sick requests to ensure all hands are on deck and are probably allowed by negotiated union contracts.

I'm skeptical of this walkout rumor.
