    I don’t understand what this is trying to say. The cybertruck is a disaster and I think that social distancing was for COVID right?

    Also, I think there’s something called the Flynn Effect and it’s that in general kids are getting smarter with each generation (I think?).

      Yeah. It’s so cherry-picked that it’s almost comedy.

      I have one for you, almost as cherry-picked:

      Gov work in 1880: rote, established tools, few surprises.

      Company work in 1880: rote, established tools, few surprises.

      Gov work in 2024: rote, established tools, few surprises.

      Company work in 2024: I accept complete responsibility for your termination because we moved the office while you were safely working remotely during a global pandemic and then got lonely so everyone had to come back. I will retire to my yacht and reflect on this. Good luck in your next endeavour.

      Distancing doesn’t work in a small, enclosed environment. The viral load will build up in the atmosphere until it’s a generally contagious room. They knew this, they just didn’t want people to be able to stay home.

      Came to say this. I feel bad for the poor teachers with 30 or so pupils, and for the pupils.

    No fuck off This has nothing to do with “look how great private sector is” and EVERYTHING to do with where the government is putting the money. Do you think there would be a Tesla company at all of not for government subsidiaries? The capitalist military complex is choosing to not give a shit about schools, health, housing…
