  1. Somehow this was done without ERCOT falling under FERC which means Texas connects without those federal regulations. They get the benefit of being connected to the national grid without having to deal with federal oversight.
  2. That is a recipe for constipation. He must be cycling through Metamucil and Ex-Lax resulting in mountain size dumps after periods of being constipated.
  3. This dude needs to drink more water and more fiber to his diet.
  4. Dude, you write way too much fanfic. Step outside more often.
  5. Exactly and hopefully he gives up the money train around Christmas time.
  6. Trump controls the MAGA mob, he isn't going anywhere. The GOP will have to live with Trump. It's like when that Sports Store owner handed over control to Tony in the Sopranos.
  7. Yeah, extending contract until 1/15 Looks like a 62% increase in pay. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/ship-queue-grows-us-ports-dockworker-strike-enters-third-day-2024-10-03/
  8. Reports coming out that the strike is ending. https://www.counton2.com/news/local-news/local-ila-says-port-strike-is-over/
  9. Hook 'em Horns AOC with the burnt orange.
  10. I thought it was 3 hours of U.S. and 3 hours of Texas history?
  11. People are acting like they have a say in the matter. As you said, the union members only care about their contract demands and not what the public thinks. The guy has the backing of his members despite what everyone with lawyer hands thinks.
  12. Probably the hurricane thread but it does speak to your point about the need for unions.
  13. An investigation has been opened up. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/tennessee-investigating-plastics-factory-workers-trapped-hurricane-hel-rcna173597
  14. A big difference is the social safety net in Western Europe that doesn't exist here. In the U.S. unions must fight for items that are already codified into law over there.
  15. Yes those exist but most of those guys were nerds learning on their own since they were kids.
  16. The machines and AI are coming for a lot of people. Considering there has never been a serious national discussion to address the repercussions of automation it makes sense that the unions push back in order to protect their livelihood.
  17. Ah yes, Voldermort.
  18. lol no. I've seen plenty of college graduates with computer science degrees that never were able to pick up programing.
  19. As I understand it, it's done to balance the power dynamics between management and workers. A seniority system prevents shit like stack ranking.
  20. Jennings tongues buttholes at truck stops for fun.
