Hard to tell if that pushes them closer to or further away from authoritarianism, tbh

Yeah the Ideal Gas Formula is cool but what about the Ideal Electric?

Maybe that would be some sort of pyric victory if they didn't make every search a fucking query last year.

The requests have so far dwarfed the costs of the training, but the training costs grow exponential between generational goalposts so it's expected to increase. Neither are anything to scoff at.

I take it they denied your request for lab use again?

I already said it was a bad and wrong of him, but I firmly stand by that I understand why they thought otherwise. What would be constructive criticism is talking about how to solve the problem of representation at the top level so removed from the people.

There are 5 airlines in Canada with more than 60 registered aircraft, of which Air Canada has 256. There are roughly 37,290 registered aircraft in Canada. The union has about 10,000 flight attendants across all airlines and 750,000 public employee members total. I can't tell you exactly how many people are impacted but we could assume the ( 10,000 / 37,290 ) * 256 = 68.6511 union members, but that's way too low because we don't know exactly what ratio of registered aircraft are passenger planes with flight attendents.

It's not exactly David vs Goliath, here, the number of people negatively impacted by delayed shipments or being trapped on an actual plane or having nonrefundable flights cancelled definitely outweighed those negatively impacted by the union agreement lapse.

I'm just saying, I doubt it's easy for him to get the big picture when so many people make it their life's purpose to prevent him from getting the big picture.

Anyways, it's not all a bad decision. Allowing it to continue was having real world consequences for all Canadians, whether they realize it or not. It's just a repeat of Biden ending Rail Union strikes and getting them their requests granted over the course of the following 9 months.

I kind of feel bad for politicians like this. You know they get hounded by lobbyists and during meetings and over the phone constantly and all of their coworkers talk about it and then you do something only to find out NO! THAT WAS WRONG! DON'T EVER FUCKING DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!

Right so all of those things are equal to you, thanks for clarifying.

I mean

Trump is calling them criminals, Fox News won't stop talking about "crime."

What else is there to say, you ask? There is to say that Republicans are the worst possible option, but for some reason you seem incapable of admitting that. Instead you actively become hostile when people do say that.
