Midwesterner here. Is this because of bad construction mixed with climate change causing stronger storms? I’ve been seeing much lower quality new construction up here and I’m curious if houses are just becoming total losses during storms instead of repairable.

They mention construction costs are partially to blame but I can’t believe that and shareholders are the only thing boosting it by that much.

Couldn’t find one more to make it an even million huh?

This dude probably has so many skeletons in his closet. He probably got a few texts and noped the hell out.

That’ll fix it 👍

Nah once they’re CEOs they’re good. They just go sit on various boards making millions for doing relatively nothing.

People were scared. Layoffs were happening. Threats of layoffs were happening. At the beginning people were thankful to have steady income and some financial security.

Then corporations sold us on the “we’re all in this together” which bought some time until the yearly profits started coming out showing how much we weren’t all in it together.

People are finally at a breaking point. Either financially or socially. It’s not easy to risk it all. Especially when the corporations are willing to throw hundreds of millions of dollars at making sure you don’t succeed.

His sacrifice will not go in vain 🫡

But when we pay the workers more the stock price doesn’t go up! Won’t anyone think of the stock price!

/s just in case anyone wasn’t sure.

Well. Did it work?

I used to do some coding in high school and early college. I’ve since moved on to other things but it’s fun to have ChatGPT write me a little python script or something and debug my way through it.

Thank you for being far more detailed. This was exactly my point.

I appreciate that they’re going the legal route, but this is literally what the 2nd amendment is for.

I have a 256GB “OS” SSD 1 TB SSD for games 2 TB HDD for longer term storage

My computer is pretty old. When I eventually upgrade I’ll do a 1TB nvme os and one for games with a 5TB hybrid storage I think.

Pretty much the same story. Got pissed at an inkjet one night when my wife needed to print something for school. Still going strong 1 toner replacement later.

Whatever is convenient for the exam and first pair of frames/lenses are covered by my insurance so I’ll do those at the exam place.

After that, Zenni.

Oh absolutely there was exploitation. Especially in certain industries.

The problem is that when the people giving that advice were working, it was great advice. Companies took care of their employees. Tenure mattered. Companies today are mindless corporate blobs that only care about spreadsheet numbers and the next quarter’s results.
