I’ve worked with a ton of these guys, they’re most often on H2A visas from Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala… And some of the companies that contract them are… Not diligent about paperwork. Sucks for the guys. And beyond that, forestry work and wildland firefighting will absolutely grind to a halt without them in the west and southeast. Absolutely kneecapping all efforts to reduce fuels and replant burns/clear-cuts. There’s an argument to be made that the use of these crews is essentially forced labor anyway (pretty crazy economic gradient from here to their home countries) but all the guys I worked with were stoked to have the job and returned year after year. Anyhow I was definitely waiting for this to happen, and it’s going to result in more dysfunction in the forest industry.

Intel is one of Israel’s largest private sector employers, about 10k people, which is a third as large a workforce as the largest employer, a bank. They cut 3000 employees there in the last several years as a result of their issues…

To be fair this is the opposite.

But socialism is bad right?

This is literally why the religious right in the US is so ecstatic about the whole thing- they’re setting the whole world up to want to root for the outcome that they’re striving for- the end of days as prophesied. It’s working flawlessly.

Relatable

I mean for the US. Which is like what, less than 5% of the world population? And now maybe much less??

What we’re really fucking up is the ramp from fossil to advanced energy sources that could enable massive outward expansion into the solar system. The billionaires are forgetting that a larger piece of a smaller pie is still less pie.

The FCC has (had? Do they still exist?) rules about this, very straightforward.

Nerds.

Well, first mistake: a “little” butter? Nah fam, you need like a half pound of butter. A bit of fish sauce. Mayo, chives, Hawaiian rolls toasted with a fuckton more butter on a skillet, maybe some smoked paprika if you’re feeling fancy. Don’t lightly crisp them, absolutely saturate them with butter. Don’t burn them, but get them good and fried. Maybe a bit of salt, or tamari soy sauce. Lobster rolls.

They do need to do this though. Survival of the fittest. The best model gets more energy access, etc.

Not as far fetched as you’d think. If you were an alien trying to sort of pass as human whilst implementing a military dictatorship what would you do differently?

I was unaware that it was unclear to anyone but children and the intellectually behind that anything you do on the Internet is traceable to you without significant countermeasures.

Fire arrows.

Uh …

It’s “martial”
