This is going to end well

Yeah, thats true, you want a union for each craft, who can understand and work for the benifit of those people. One union per company isn't too hot.

Given the most ideal situation tho, were the proper union distribution is in place, should union dues be mandatory? Thats the question at the heart of "right to work".

the unions and representative bodies of the workforce

I'm puzzled by this, tho. Whats a representative body of the workforce?

Not having a union typically leads to more abuse, no? Like, I'm not sure what union abuse looks like?

Both styles have advantages and disadvantages. Fully procedural code actually breaks down in readability after a certain length, some poeple suggest 100 or maybe 200 lines, depending on how much is going on in the function.

Blanket maxims tend to to have large spaces where they don't apply.

Additionally, the place where the code on the right is more likely to cause bugs and maintainability issues is the mutation of the pizza argument in the functions. Argument mutation is important for execution time and memory performance, but is also a strong source of bugs, and should be considered carefully in each situation. We don't know what the requirements for this code are, but in general we should recomend against universal use of argument mutation (and mutability in general).

this is a good run down, with one nit, probably caused by availability of data. Gdp per capita is not a good metric, because its a mean, so verp vulnerable to outliers, and because it represents generation of wealth regardless of if that money stays in the state.

North Dakota is an oil state.

It has a median household income of $68,000, meaning half of all households bring in less than that.

It has a mean income per capita of $37,343

11.5% of people in north dakota live in poverty

north dakota ranks 39th for poverty, which is better than middle.

This is an example of how different stats will have different results. When looking at poverty rates, out of the ten worst, only New Mexico is not a right-to-work state.

"right to work" laws are misleadingly named laws that undermine unions by outlawing union shops from requiring membership. These laws lead to financial collapse of the union. All of the ten poorest states have these laws, and almost zero union membership.

I actually soft hate every version of this meme, even the cute ones (this is cute). The planet is not endangered by human activity. The most endangered being from human activity is humans. We need to think of fixing this less as a favor to the planet spirit and more as a basic survival issue.

Plus the whole "we are the virus" framing smacks of Malthus and just opens the door to "which people are most the virus and who do we get rid of?"

Automation and process improvenent are key skills. The less time spent staying alive, the more time living

As a software engineer, skills I think I could contribute are systems design, debuging, writing software, and also trash pickup on the back af the truck. I'd be happy to help build software tools that help people actually enjoy life, and also I eon't mind pitching in to my community.

I can only listen to podcasts while doing something else. Just the idea of sitting and listening is uncomfortable

Movies are invariably phone or swich time, at least at home. The spectacle of the theater helps a lot for me tho. Going out and making a whole thing of it, in an environment where distractions are forbidden, makes it a lot easier to focus.

This dicotomy was always bullshit. Spending the money to build out even expensive solar would ha|e stimulated the economy, not harmed it
