What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

Gen Z are going retro, with studies showing a resurgence in people buying tech in the modern age that can be dated back decades.

It’s always interesting to me that the most public libertarians who seem to sincerely value those principles end up renouncing tjem, in time. Same thing happened to Neil Peart, who went from a hardcore Randian to, in his own words “a bleeding heart libertarian.”
Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

I have no idea who Helen Lewis is, yet I'm blocked by her.
Helen, the comments aren't closed to *you*. They're just closed for quality control purposes to followers, though I am surprised you didn't figure that out given the quality of the average Bluesky response that hits the Discover feed. It is fascinating how deeply offended you seem by this setting?

Justice Gorsuch: Is it possible--"just maybe"--that we're setting our sights far too low and we should be blowing up many more structures of modern government?

I wonder how long it'll be before SCOTUS decides to tear down all vaccine requirements by mandating bullshit religious exemptions. Part of their overarching goal of destroying public school in part by making it unsafe for middle class parents to send their kids to
The Supreme Court asks Trump's Justice Department to weigh in on a pending challenge to New York's COVID vaccine mandate for health care workers, which lacks any exception for religious objections. Suggests that some justices are looking at this one closely. www.scotusblog.com/cases/case-f...
