Boeing workers vote overwhelmingly to strike, halting aircraft production
  • From what I understand, the pension is one of the biggest concerns the union has. The method to vote its removal is scummy to say the least. Vote took place on Christmas break, where Boeing gives employees two weeks off with skeleton crew keeping the lights on, knowing no one would be there to vote against its repeal. They've been offered a 401k in return but want their pension back. That info comes from a 15 year employee part of the union but take it with a grain of salt.

    Obviously there's a ton of other issues ICs want to be addressed that don't revolve around share prices. This is just one I keep hearing and the feelings of betrayal and resentment are palpable when I hear someone talk about it. They also complain about the union leader who uses his friend lawyer to negotiate against a team of corporate lawyers but that's heresay.

  • Tyreek Hill is detained by police before Dolphins game. Officer is subsequently placed on leave
  • Well they did, to many people via foia. Here's the full video with context.

    Imo, Hill is not innocent in this but the officer came in way to hot. It turned from a rich asshole pulled over to rich asshole football player getting pulled over and ended with a ticket and a show. Hill didn't initially pull over, was speeding (55 in a 40), gave the cops a hard time and refused to get out of his car when asked. He comments he has a 9mm in the car too but that's pretty irrelevant I think as the cops didn't know that till he stated it when he was on the curb already.

    The cop, as usual, escalated at every opportunity, actively threatened every one there, clearly on a power trip till he figured he was going to lose.

    I will say one more thing, the entitlement of the players there is disgusting. Neither party is a good group here but wealth prevails. "You know he plays for the dolphins, right?"

    Edit: I might be wrong about the speed, he wasn't charged with speeding. Also it looks like he did actually pull over when asked. Not sure if bike lights were on as audio was off

  • Harris to endorse protections for renters and removal of key tax benefits for Wall St. investors buying homes
  • This is a great start to the housing issue but.... Can we go further and not let corporations or private equity firms buy housing in the first place? Adding housing to your portfolio with the implied goal of making money on such a commodity doesn't sound healthy. I'd imagine what we'd see is something like the private health insurance problem if we don't stop it now.

  • What's your biggest gamer achievement?
  • I think it was also that you lose stars if you go off track or even go too far back, so no sandbagging. Vs the switch Mario kart version and you just need first place finishes but can fly around.

  • Smart devices are turning out to be a poor investment
  • I totally agree with this, Lifx is my favorite brand. Remote access to turn on lights and adjust, themes seasonally, hub less, buuuttt not the cheapest but fair pricing. Their app always tries to get me to buy new items.
