No, I want management to develop a system to determine who is low-performing, document when those workers don't meet the standards of performance, and reference those documents when they fire someone.
Due process for employment is probably more important than fair pay in most union contracts.
Your argument is in fact that exact same one that was used to argue against due process in legal proceedings. "In reality it doesn't play out and you get this group of criminals running free on legal technicalities."
If you are in a union shop and have a large contingent of unproductive employees, it happens for the same reason as non-union shops. You have bad management. Just Cause is almost entirely asking management to do a little paperwork and a little planning, things that are supposed to be their job anyway.
I think DEI as implemented is worse than this. It’s a calculated, prepared defense against the possibility of future bigoted behavior.
Corporate America (which increasingly includes universities whose primary business is endowment investment) don’t just want to wash away our past, they want to ensure they can keep operating business as usual.
DEI is insurance. Yeah the bad thing may happen but we paid for it before hand so we are insulated against further repercussions.
One thing I worry about is how normalized this will be for children and countries without regular internet access as they get regular internet access (or even have had it for a while: the report from OP states that 71 percent of traffic on Irish sites are bots).
The experience of the internet will be bots and because the usefulness of the medium isn't going away, they will keep using it. Everything being bots will be normal.
At some point things like ubiquitous ads, smog, light pollution or dozens of corporate microphones in our house was something humans first started experiencing and having trepidations about. Then it got normalized. Sometimes we fixed it like smog or CFCs and sometimes it became one the largest sectors of our economy (ads). Statistically, it seems more likely that dead internet is here to stay
You have it reversed. The color of your skin determines how much UV protection you get. Skin color is 1-1 correlation to the average hours of daylight a population experiences. High melanin skin is required to live in the equatorial regions to prevent over exposure to UV rays. Low melanin skin is required in the northern regions to prevent under exposure to UV rays.
We saw a mass migration of eastern Europeans to the middle east mid 20th century and the result was the catastrophic increase in skin cancer rates.
We saw a mass migration of middle Easterners to great lakes region in the same period and we saw a catastrophic increase in depression rates.
It's probably worse with Musk. His executive style seems to be, from his biography, ignore a thing for a while until he gets in a maniac phase and then over the shoulder manage a thing until it's done, regardless of time or context.
I can just take the scene of Musk being on a roof yelling at the crew to change how they install solar tiles late in the night and translate it to him berating a programmer in the office to make it look like x.com and not caring about the details.
A lot of your complaints are with the libertarian nature of our government.
The constitution protects private dictators from interference by the government, not citizens from interference by private dictators. It’s an important distinction to remember in the USA
Evidence points to him wanting to use the potential of buying Twitter as a cover for selling a few billion in Tesla stock without impacting it's value.
Not many. We’ve consistently overshoot worst case predictions.
Many of the heat waves, hurricanes and first fires we’ve seen weren’t predicted to occur until 2030s.
People in North America and Europe of course enjoy the best climate and see the effects the slowest from climate change.
One way to accurately judge climate change is to count the number and frequency of extreme events. How many 100 year weather events have you seen? How many 500 or 1000 year weather events have you seen? How many once in human history, like the drought in China have you lived through?
Xi is head of state as president, but not head of government (like King of England).
Li Qiang is head of government as premier and is chief executive of the Chinese government.
If you ask a Chinese citizen what their biggest problem is, many of them would say too much federalism. Individual provinces have more individual authority than even US States and most controversial policies (1 child, social credit, lockdowns) you hear about are provincial and not federal policies.
