  • You’re pulling an article written by one member, not the whole union. Cherry picking at its best.

    LOL It’s an official press release from the union.

    You may not like it but the union, officially, does as a group. If you’re a union member and have a problem with that, take it up with them. If you’re not a member, then your opinion means just as much as mine as a random citizen, absolutely nothing.

    Every time any union shit comes up there’s always people on both sides in the union. There’s also a ton of union workers that want everything the union has negotiated but don’t want to pay the dues for the union to operate. They’re opinion means less than others far as I’m concerned, but articles aren’t going to mention that of course, especially if it goes against the narrative they want to promote.










  • The issue is that while 99% is bullshit… Enough of it is literally his intention so you can’t ignore any of it.

    Look at how many people completely ignored all of his talk about tariffs before the election, and he’s already in the process of getting those in place as soon as possible on/after Jan 20th. Or about using the military to enforce deportations even against citizens, and effectively building concentration camps for that. We already have reports that his team is trying to look at implementing that as well.

    For every 9 bullshit things that come out of his mouth that can be ignored, one is a legitimate issue and it either gets swept under a rug with the other 9 by the media downplaying it or just ignoring it.


  • Because doing otherwise wouldn’t maximize profits. There’s no actual competition in the market for consumers to choose. Nearly all Americans get insurance through their work, and have absolutely no say in what companies those options are from, and those options might only change at the end of the year if the company changes their insurance partner (which I’m sure takes months to negotiate). UHC has no reason to change unless they are forced to. Customer Satisfaction in the industry is abysmal because there’s no incentive for the companies to actually be good.



  • This, USB-C is just the connector shape. USB-A is the standard square plug everyone knows, USB-B has several different ends, some more well known than others. The full sized “printer/hub” one, mini-B and micro-B which more people know. USB-A to A cables aren’t common, more akin to an Ethernet crossover cable, so you’re almost always going to see one of the B connectors.

    USB-C is just the newest plug design, the actual cable and communication protocols have changed numerous times over the decades. USB-C might have been introduced alongside USB 3.0 and the massive increase in charging and data speeds with the new standard, but they are not exclusive.

    The most obvious example is probably the iPhone 15 and 16, both had a USB-C plug, but the devices only supported USB 2.0 protocols.




  • ASUS was already lagging behind, and had been for years. Their lack of anything approaching an adequate response (basically not giving a single fuck) to the numerous issues Gamers Nexus has reported on multiple times these last couple years across multiple separate divisions, shows a complete disregard for their consumers.

    ASUS is not unique, there are numerous other options with similar or better quality, and often at better prices. They are not a monopoly, or even close to it. They really only had brand loyalty, which they decided to nuke completely. They can go out of business and the industry would be perfectly fine.
