That graph of internal adoption rate is laughable. Their KPIs and work requirements probably heavily skewed the curve.

The same people who think "banned" and "censored" books must be completely banned and censored in all places to have earned that title instead of just at one point in the past.

You cut off the OP's sentence of that being examples for "Rail companies" and then added your own examples. Please be better at comprehesion and editing comments

"In practice Amazon will deliver packages across the US." You know they use the Postal Service for last miles often? And the Postal Service is required by law to service far-flung places. So Amazon is only, in practice, delivering packages to those places due to USPS.

"Whether something is good or not entirely depends on the frame of reference and the context" is exactly what the article was saying....

Yes, the article discusses how 98% is good in context and bad in others. You just... restated the article but reversed the premise, resulting in an overly optimistic yet anti-social framing.

Some states are trying to fight against Kalshi. One of the problems is the President's family has a financial interest in these markets and so the Republican party does their best to say "hey, these are clearly "swaps" and not bets!!!1!"

Or we could also ban sports betting apps and Kalshi and Polymarket.

Where does raising wages have to deal with this?

If they want a short and lean "man fights fish/sea animal", they should stick to "The Old Man and the Sea". I'll stick with the investigation into finding purpose in a purposeless ocean.

Never say a "red apple" then because lord knows it had been green at some point! It's a meaningless designation.

So the books are being banned from being in that library? "removing books" and "banning a book in a library" is equivalent.

Cool, dude, keep defending books with gay characters being banned in some libraries... I mean, not "curated". A "Ban" doesn't have to be universal for it to still be banned in one spot. A book banned in a Christian high school but available at a public library is still a "Banned book" because it has been banned somewhere.

If you're that bad with semantics, I'd recommend the next book you check out is the dictionary.

Artistophanes lampooned the Sophists and lawyers in his Greek comedies. When using words as your literal way to power and change, you will have demagogues.

Vote out the Republican fascists actually abdicating responsibility. Dems can't do anything when they don't control legislature. Don't end up bothsidesing the last sentene when the rest of your comment is about the iffectualness of Trump and Republicans

Not so much THIS report, but you can't trust any data that the Trump administration puts out after all the blantant corruption. Remember the Sharpie on the hurricane chart?
