A personal update: I have been unemployed long enough to finally follow through on a project I've long toyed with. For years, I've been following Minnesota's appellate dockets and posting about notable or interesting cases and decisions.

Many Crime Watch pages aren’t objectively about solving problems & creating safer communities.
They’re often run by people looking to vilify, divide, & sow fear.

we should reject waymo on the basis of supporting labor in minnesota, where uber and lyft drivers fought to score a statewide minimum wage! and don't forget that lyft contributed $10,000 to all of mpls this year to reelect mayor frey and get a city council allied with him. they are making moves
This, 1,000x this. I've been harping about Waymo being anti-worker and yet another way to funnel money upwards to the elite/oligarchs, and people react like I'm nuts. (It's also why I never use self-checkouts.)
and this is why waymo is a labor issue, not a tech issue! it's going to be taking money out of the pockets of rideshare drivers and putting it solely in the hands of big tech
