@ProtagorasTO And let us not forget the Jacquard loom. Creative destruction is an important aspect of capitalism and ultimately creates better living/working conditions for all.
@DaraBryn@unusual_whales Disagree. I work in a WFH position and elect to work in the office. There is value in being in the office. At the very least, they should be taking a pay cut for working remote from the lost value to the company.
I don't want to sound old and curmudgeonly l, but if you are showing up to an office dressed in a Halloween costume after 30, it's a sad cry for help. You aren't in college. Act your age.
@BrettCoolman@StreetWatchdog@financialjuice Not to mention that it completely dodges the issue that the reserve IS for the purpose of wartime deployment and not market manipulation, which you've failed to address.
@BrettCoolman@StreetWatchdog@financialjuice The petrol we produce in America has to be combined with heavier crude from overseas in the refining process to make it usable. That's why you have to say "net exporter"--but that's a elementary way to look at the refining process which is critical for heavy machinery tofunction
@BrettCoolman@StreetWatchdog@financialjuice This is not what this is for. It is not for market manipulation. It is for US military reserves (that is why it is strategic) to last a few weeks before the need for replenishment in the case of an embargo or conflict restricting their supply.
I don't understand how one can take a principled stance that the rise in gas prices aren't a product of this administration's policies. The embargo of Russian supplies alone--however meritorious that position is--is directly affecting the price of energy.
@terryogara @bennyjohnson@elonmusk There is a difference between "unrestrained free speech" and curating speech, which is what Twitter is accused of. Morphing the two together is creating a strawman to argue against.
It’s not ok to come up on stage and hit a dude cause you don’t like the humor. It’s not ok at a Comedy Club, concert hall or hosting some cheeseball award show. Chris Rock is a stand up comedian and a standup guy who carried on. I think I would have run.
Trudeau ran because somebody double parked in Ottawa; president of Ukraine stays in capital despite being encircled by Russian army. This is leadership.
