  1. It's like The Octopus. And Washington, D.C. is like Tammany Hall on steroids.

  2. @Fred Mudge They don't get everything right, that's for sure. In this video, to go after big, bad Bezos, which is probably a worthwhile sort of thing, they're pushing the ridiculously restrictive covid-19 restrictions that've done more harm than good.

  3. Upper mgmt and mid-mgmt in institutions all over the country has always been populated mostly by people who don't know the job and can't do the job. It's just becoming more obvious, lately, is all.

  4. ​ Tessmage Tessera  More things will be automated. But there will ALWAYS be a labor shortage. They'll just be different jobs. That's what you guys always overlook. In the 1950s, people were FREAKING about automation hitting the wheelbarrow-manufacturing sector. Those were jobs that just went away. Of course, they couldn't imagine there would ever be full-time jobs in computer repairs or software engineering. I'm not a believer in state-mandated minimum wages, because I think it hurts people at the low end the most, and erects barriers to upward mobility. It ALSO pushes automation artificially fast. Automation is a natural progression, but we need not FORCE it along by pricing entry-level jobs out of the market, artificially. Just let natural market forces determine the pace, and you will minimize the dislocations that inevitably accompany change. But to say that automation means nobody will have work at ALL is just a backhanded way of admitting you lack imagination.

  5. Big government always favors big business, at first. But it eventually gets around to crushing everybody equally.
