While I agree with getting rid of at-will policies, I disagree with one part of your idea. Why would I ever want to indenture myself to 5 years with the same employer? How would unions be handled? How about strikes? What about health insurance benefits?
Frankly, unions already solve alot of the problems with at-will employment, and should be protected by law rather then systemically stripped away.
Good!
Check out ‘Monster Eater’, that’s the premise of the MC’s story.
Yup. It was designed as a troll to get sword geeks to comment about the inconsistency and then call them out on it.
The saddest part of this was to see that this person is of the age to have been in my school classes, albeit in another country. Madness can strike at any age, it seems.
Depends on the car and the parking lot, for me. When I drive my mom someplace we use her van, it’s easier for her to get in and out that way. This van has a shorter front end, and no backup camera to compensate, so I back in and pull out of spaces so I have better views as I’m moving.
When I drive my sedan with my wife and kids, I pull in to spaces and back out, because the sedan has a much longer front end and a great backup camera/radar alert system that makes backing out of spaces the safer option.
Of course he is, and just like Palpatine, he will attempt to create laws and organizations that benefit himself. Especially if he feels he can twist the existing ones to suit this purpose.
I’m not deluded or ignorant, I’m well aware such a thing wouldn’t stop the dictatorial asshat. I’m only pointing out that from a legal perspective, this wouldn’t be an “official and legal” order. Such a thing can already be said of many of the Executive Orders that have been proclaimed and signed. It’s a technicality, I know, but I’m just trying to point out another instance of the law being twisted and ignored rather then upheld.
I’ve actually got a setting/ system that uses this idea as a world building start. Necrobiotic by Penny for a Tale. It’s pretty cool, although i use it as a guide for world creation with DnD games rather then playing in the created system.
Official = legal in this context, so if he where to try and declare war without Congress approving, it would not be an official act.
It lost steering power, not electrical power. Kinda like all the warning lights in your car turning on at once and the engine shutting down, even though the headlights are still on.
Sounds like a Chromebook with extra steps.
Yeah, if I recall the change was because so many people took them to arbitration at the same time that the cost wasn’t worth it, so they changed the policy to ‘local court’ to avoid the situation repeating while also sidestepping any large class action attempts.
I already communicate without speech, I’m doing it right now to someone I’ve never met and don’t know the identity of, who is receiving only the thoughts I wish to share. Why would I go beyond that?
Besides, I can also share thoughts with those I do know without speech. I text my wife when I don’t want the kids to hear our joke, I can even include pictures to get the message across if I don’t have the words.
The struggle is real though.
Get locks on your doors.
Anyone else remember the breakout scene in Robinhood Men in Tights? Seems like someone thought movie art should become reality…
I always was explicit about this. When people would ask me if I could keep a secret, my response was “Of course, I’ll forget what it is within 2 days anyway.”
Gooooood Morning Night City!
Friend, your guild idea already exists. It’s just called a Union in the current day. Many trades already operate this way, from the Carpenters Union to the Iron Workers Union. There’s even a Teamsters Union. The different name doesn’t change the work they do. White- collar hand much less representation with collective solidarity, but that can be fixed by starting a Union at your local work place. I won’t tell anyone it’s easy, but it’s worth putting in the work. A great example is the Starbucks unions that have popped up in the last few years. The reason you don’t see more unions is because employers are terrified of them, and want to continue to freely exploit the workforce through fear.
