Is a car required to live in NYC?

I don’t think they realize how easy (and low risk) it can be to set up a Mastodon server. Particularly when you don’t have to allow the public to create accounts.

This is a useless comment that means nothing.

Sometimes you just need a baseline.

Most common is $80-160k, the companies formerly known as FANNG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) are more likely $160-340k. A large part of that is their geographic area. Basically they primarily want workers who are already vetted by the other FAANG companies, so they’re all in the same geographic location, and competing over the workers willing to live there.

Basically they’re idiots creating their own problems that Elon wants to solve with H1-Bs.

Legally, the H1-Bs need to get paid roughly the same as American workers. We all know that’s a bit slippery, but it does help keep the wages up.

The real benefit is that they either do what Elon says or they get kicked out of the country. Guess who’s willing to put up with the most shit.

I’m sorry, pep is now regulated by gender and age. Oh, and if you’re young enough, please see the pastor or congressman in his office.

Pizza places have dealt with that forever. It’s normal.

That’s certainly one of the two ways.

Always just an excuse to get rid of the things they don’t like, such as social security.

They absolutely want to regulate you on a federal level. They just want to decide which things get enforced/funded, and which should be left to the states/community/church, or what they really mean, nothing.

The key between UberEATS and a much better service you describe is that the drivers need to stay on site, and the site needs to be geographically in the same place.

But yeah, I agree a better model would be tiny GrubHubs that service one, very small restaurant area. Basically the pizza delivery drivers also deliver for the 4-5 restaurants around the pizza place.

It’d be better service for the users, likely cheaper, and better for the restaurants who have 4-7 consistent drivers, and it’d be better for the drivers who actually get an hourly wage on top of their delivery fees.

Someone just has to build the infrastructure for this, have the capital to get started, sell the restaurants on it, and advertise the service.

You know, I would pick instances that aren’t federated with hexbear or Lemmygrad.

Usernames include the instance, @moseschrute@lemmy.world

Picking a default instance seems like the right approach.

Yes, block them permanently. Fuck cars.

I get it. Freight train passes, warning arms don’t go up. Must be broken.

But I’m pretty sure I’d sit there annoyed for at least five minutes before I even imagine trying to go though the closed arms. And in a long vehicle like a fire truck?!?

It sure is easier to sit on the sidelines than it is to actually lead. He absolutely wasn’t perfect, but I absolutely believe he tried to represent the American people to the best of his ability.

Also he literally stepped down and let someone else try based on feedback.

He was willing enough to listen to other people despite his doubts.

Is that easier for you than “he’s a good person who tried his best and failed”?

The only reason he ran at all is that he originally thought he had the best chance of winning. The debate and pressure after that changed his mind, but absolutely may have been wrong. After all, there were people on election day googling “did biden drop out?” One can certainly question how much the debate would have mattered.

But in the end, I generally agree with the below comment, that the election was always going to come down to the economy. It wasn’t good enough for people that we handled inflation better than other Western countries. It didn’t matter that Trump caused a lot of the inflation with the PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) and the GOP’s refusal to have oversight. The only thing that mattered was that people were mad and wanted change. They couldn’t figure out who to be mad at, and just chose the current people in charge. As a populace, we’re not smart enough to understand deeper than that, and we just keep flipping the switch back and forth hoping it works, in spite of the fact that the biggest reason we don’t go anywhere is that we keep flipping the switch back and forth.

I agree, but it deserves more discussion than just “No.”

He’s a prick because he doesn’t want Trump to be president? He’s a prick because he wishes he did things differently?

I guess I’m a prick too then. I also don’t want Trump to be president and have regrets in my life.
