Comment Be careful what you wish for (Score 1, Informative) 349

Imagine a company where working from home was the norm. Where "flexible hours" were allowed, not just as an accommodation for employees with special circumstances, but in general.

How is this different from a company where everyone is expected to be at work 24/7, or at least during waking hours, with no way to escape from the virtual office?

People who can't work remotely have an advantage in that it is very difficult for work to follow them home. But if work is something you do at home, it is very easy for a 40 hour a week job to morph into an every-waking-moment a week job.

Comment This is what evil looks like. (Score 1) 312

In the early 20th century, progressives promoted rigorous compulsory education as a way to reduce class divides.

In the early 21st century, faux-progressive Gramscian whores pretend that such education makes class divides worse.

If they goal of the whores was to destroy opportunities for those from modest backgrounds, what would they be doing differently?

> Because you would voluntarily hand over your money to repave the roads or build bridges, right?

(Going to ignore the idea that the government must build the roads) But yeah, why wouldn't i? I don't have a problem paying for food or drink. Or my entertainment. Or my car. Not sure why you think roads would be different. In fact, I'm rather fond of tolling(some privacy concerns though). I travel on a major freeway twice a day. Why shoulnd't I pay more than someone who uses that freeway once a month?

> All the things you take for granted which are delivered by the government

Most all the things i REALLY take for granted are provided by capitalism.

Driving is the most dangerous thing we do in our daily lives. Also probably biggest direct interaction with government laws and infrastructure. It's not a coincidence.

Comment Taking slander to the next level. (Score 1) 590

Conservatives and Republicans are commonly slandered as racists and bigots and any other number of terrible things by the left on a continual basis. The left keeps repeating this lie in the hope that it will be believed, and it is by the fools who fall for it.

Now the leftists are putting their money where their mouth is and actively spending time and resources to pretend that the incoming Republican president is somehow out to get them.

Such histrionics are only possible for people who have it easy. People who actually had to work hard for a living could not afford the luxury of such fake outrage.
