The NLRB was established by the Wagner Act and signed into law by FDR. It very much is a government agency. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.archives.gov%2Fmiles...

Enron -- Jeff Skilling.
However, that was like 20 yrs ago, and it consequences don't happen nearly enough for corporations. By the same token, maybe if they weren't such total dicks, regulation wouldn't be necessary.

What they can do is vote differently, hopefully based on facts instead of BS. So that those consumer protection agencies and regs don't get gutted.

oh, they do, it's just expressed differently. My personal favorite: "Blatant hypocrisy is OK when *we* do it!"

The same thing will happen that always happens whenever there is a large advance in automation. Namely, that everyone else except management will be made redundant. This has been the easily observable trend since the 1960's.

yeah, everyone over 40 or thereabouts seems to think it's the best. Wait till they get to Germany....

Point of correction: Hush money wasn't the charge, nor was it the problem. The problem was trying to write them off on his corporate taxes, in NY state. For sums of money that were well over what the Federal elections law allows. Cohen went to jail for doing it on behalf of Trump.

To this day, I still fail to see any problems with the classical init scripts, at least for my use case. Not that I was given much choice in the matter.

NY sends far more to the feds than they get back. More than TX even.

BTW it's laughable what they think Dems actually want. Its not like hyper-partisans don't distort the crap out of everything when viewed through their tiny little lenses. Which is why I left the GQP and went independent decades ago, back when Clinton was in office.

This kind of shit is the exact reason I switched to BSD after using linux exclusively from 1998 to 2010.

I don't think it's that difficult at all. I'm old enough to remember when the use of plastics, for *any* purpose, was avoided. It carried a strong stigma of cheapness and shoddy construction. The dominant materials back then were things like glass, metals, wood, rubber, paper, etc etc etc. All of which are easily recycled, and they were.

Advertisers think it's a good idea. Myself, I think it's a good excuse to demand $200 off the ticket or no fly with you.

I hope a horsefly lands on his mushroom cap. And he lives.

Furthermore, what do people think the sacrificial electrodes are made of in those furnaces? That's right, carbon.

if AI takes jobs, the skilled trades will be doing just fine. After all, all those people still need food, clothing, shelter, and perhaps transportation.

For my entire life (Gen X) they've been predicting what a Utopia society will turn into when the robots do everything..... look around you and think about that.
