I wonder if they hired Charlie Day to write that gem

He was a part of the story. The book The Founders goes into the beginnings of PayPal, Ebay, the other players, Elon being brought in, and Elon's origins. A good read and it's not all about Musk.

There doesn't seem to be as much overflowing into non political communities here as at reddit where it's just overflowing everywhere I find. I think it's a reflecting of the anxiety many are feeling about the election. Hopefully it dies down in a couple of weeks.

Some argue the pasteurization ruins nutritional value. It's too bad these people don't remember all the people dying from drinking raw milk in the past, but it's outside of our recent memories. It's sort of down antivax lane.

We've seen the same issues with hockey. The use of plastics in shoulder and elbow protections versus the older leathers and felt padding. When delivering a hit both players feel it, today not so much as a plastic shoulder goes into a face it's more one way.

As much as they have been changing the rules, a crazy part of me wonders if less equipment might help more, like those old leather helmets. Would players not be hitting as hard?

I'm still a little surprised this alone isn't the end of the GOP, but then there are 432 other things that should have been too.

I wonder if he's going to pull a Trump card and not actually pay anyone in the end

Surprise, surprise!

Early Ford hated bankers and investors. He did some brilliant moves to cut them out and early Ford really seemed to be pro worker. Later Ford was not the same man.

I've just started watching Hacks. They do a great job of highlighting the differences between Z and boomers.

The things that were just plain terrible in the workplace the boomers just lived with and worked around like sexual harassment horrified and shutdown the Gen Z character, while the boomers just figured ways around it best they could being woman without much say in their times. They were laughing about it in retrospect, especially rejoicing in the sexual harasser boss being dead.

Those women put up with a lot of sh8t and trail blazed for their time. That's not to say any of it was right. As a Gen X it's interesting the different worlds we all have been raised in.
