  1. I can see an argument that performance metrics for that line of work jeopardizes safety. Seniority rules probably make sense for those jobs, in addition to giving a security blanket. They seem to want their cake and eat it too. For the example $20hr wage (single digit percentile of their pay distribution), the rejected $5 raise represents 25% increase. With $40 wage ($80k annualized) thats a 12.5% raise.
  2. Anybody who can crane a container from ship to dock can learn how to program as well. Anybody who can unload 15 tons of cargo can learn how to program for God's sake.
  3. Which major stimuli programs and who voted for them? It's not, which is why it's strange for some to only talk about a specific cause like corporate greed. Covidflation was a confluence of multiple global factors. But you can still recognize that certain parties and policies and actions have a big directional impact, even if the size of the impact can't be modeled precisely. e.g. Russian energy being rerouted to India and China fucked up European energy prices pretty hard. On the global stage, the US has a pretty big lever that affects downstream costs to US consumers, whether it's through control of tariffs, liquidity, manufacturing, etc.
  4. As the plot thickens, it gives me the dickens, reminiscent of Charles

  20. who got the Hey Dudes from Temu?
  21. he'll declare for the draft when he feels he's ready, and it looks like the "right" team have the draft slot. 1. even if his family has money, he would want to earn his own (it's playing ball for 8 digits, not working spreadsheets 100hr/wk for 6...) 2. he would want the challenge of playing in the big leagues
  22. empirically, casual-service places do not get 2/3 stars. for 1 star, only few casual places, which themselves seem like random token additions. i.e. if selection was based on food, we can think of better alternatives for each pick. theres a level of service and refine thats synonymous with the stars. it may be merely correlative, but it doesnt change the reality and what has gotten the stars so far. my experience with 1* vs 2*vs 3* places across different cuisines in different country doesnt jive with what i found better. IMO gault millau does a better index for what tastes best.
