It comes down to jealousy. A manager can’t possibly make less than their direct reports is a common thought process, especially when both positions are salaried. Some companies are willing to buck the trend and pay at least first or maybe second level managers less than some of their reports at times.

It’s actually somewhat common for roles with commission or tips to make more than management. This also happens with roles that get paid overtime.

I’m not saying it isn’t a problem, I’m saying it’s been used as justification for things that have little to do with climate change.

The vast majority of climate focused policy and arguments has nothing to do with climate change. A significant portion is lightly re themed malthusian arguments. Another significant portion is people wanting to change society to their preferred version.

The way the legal system is supposed to work in the US is that juries decide on matters of fact. Lawyers are responsible for bringing evidence into court through the testimony of witnesses. Judges are responsible for ensuring that both sides play by the rules and ensuring juries aren’t exposed to evidence not related to the decision at hand.

It is a real problem if everyone switched at once, which isn’t realistic. Even with a gradual approach, at some point residential areas will require upgraded supply lines if every house has 1 or 2 240v chargers. The upgrade cost will probably start becoming an issue in roughly a decade, unless something drastic changes with power supply.

I’d skip the middle man and put them in the trash.

More proof this is the dumbest timeline.

These people are basically retired. Their primary activity is fundraising, which is talking to the same few hundred people for the last 30 years. Helping constituents is handled by the office, so are policy decisions. They actually work for a few days a quarter, and the perks more than compensate for it.

Blaming the Republicans for the Democrats is exactly the point the OP is making. Nixon and Reagan didn’t make Clinton rape anyone, order an illegal war, or likely have dissidents murdered. They didn’t make Obama also engage in an illegal war in Libya. Those were choices they decided to make, they had the option to be better.

Cholesterol could be ok, it’s about 90% genetic.

There’s the older elder scrolls games, or Dread Delusion which is a spiritual successor to Morrowind. There’s mods that change Skyrim up like ordinator. There’s not much thats really like Skyrim.

I saw Bill Murray.

Everyone except multi-millionaires and billionaires were priced out of that game, which makes it more egregious that Trump went. His being their closed the watch parties that would actually be accessible for regular fans. This was also as close to a crowd of the rich elite that he will ever be around, and they all hated him too.

They paid way more than that. 7.5k was the get in price, actually seeing the game was 100k+. Floor seats were 300k.

There already was a fee for the visa, increasing it doesn’t make it a tax. This isn’t a Trump breaking the rules thing, it’s a court and politicians ruling for corporations over people thing.

Shame on those states for siding with corporations over the people of their states. The H1b has become modern day indentured servitude.

Auditing in general is profitable, but it’s mostly due to it being automated for people that aren’t making 7 figures. Auditing the not absurdly wealthy is also generally a positive revenue. Auditing the extremely wealthy tends to not be a great net benefit as the costs of lawyers and court time outweighs the settlement check at the end. There’s an argument to be made it’s worth the cost to ensure the ultra wealthy do actually pay though.

If the sequels were successful, it likely would mean there weren’t a bunch of mediocre to terrible star wars shows dumped on Disney plus. That would mean there’s less blatant culture war bullshit out in the universe, which would reduce the backlash which Trump leveraged to win.

If the sequels were successful there would be less corporate shills calling people to stupid, sexist, racist, or bigoted to understand it. That leads to less people spiraling into the extreme right.

If the sequels were successful, it may have helped movie and theaters remain more relevant through Covid. This could lead to more of the social contract remaining intact post 2020. Trump wouldn’t be as able to effectively weaponize the loss of the social contract preventing a 2024 reelection.

If the sequels were successful, Disney would have more money and goodwill. That could lead to more effective lobbying for non trump candidates.

If the sequels were successful, we could have gotten a grnf story of the old heroes transferring the reigns to the young new heroes to lead the next generation. This could have had a substantial effect on the psyche of elderly leaders who bow out of races to support younger candidates that are far more appealing than Trump vs Hillary.

Maybe there is a point to this.

That’s great for the 80%. It doesn’t help the 10-15% where a road trip becomes significantly longer, or when you don’t have access to home charging on vacation or a weekend trip. I find a way to work around a once or twice a year event that’s not great for an EV, but I can’t justify a car that doesn’t work for me once or twice per month.
