Preach. I can do nothing but agree, and I have insider info in the insurance industry, pharma and healthcare. It’s all a game to make the rich even richer and the politicians are colluding in such a bipartisan fashion you’d think the parties were fully unified.
lol, you think most of those guys went to college?
Wow, look at that! The price of strollers just went up 5k!
Replace strollers with basically anything related to birth or infants. 5k more to spend? 5k more to earn by big business selling wares.
This assumes the hospital doesn’t determine that you seem to owe 5k more for that one out of network service provider they slipped in while you were distracted during birthing.

When I hear people be all nationalistic in regards to their planned expenditures I never expect them to really bite the bullet.
Experiments like this are why I doubt i’m wrong. https://afina.com/blogs/news/made-in-usa
People en masse don’t care about where something is made, they care about how much they are paying for it, assuming both products are of identical quality. I don’t doubt that many will simply avoid spending money altogether. I doubt there are many out there willing to voluntarily pay more just for a made in X badge.
Check your clothes labels, personal electronics, appliances, fabrics, salt, medical devices, medicines, customer support lines for major businesses, networking equipment…
I’m not canadian and i’m certainly not a dumpy supporter but realistically what the fuck would you ever want to buy from the US that is actually made 100% in the US anyway?
By that you mean you’re buying indonesian, vietnamese, chinese, ecuadorian… and probably a ton more imported things because nobody really manufactures much of anything in USA or Canada outside of a handful of things that are costly to transport.
because tons and tons of potential solutions exist. At the core of this class of product is a very simple computer that costs next to nothing. FOSS software exists to accomplish the same goal and for minimal cost someone can compete with them.
Synology doesn’t really control anything. In the enterprise segment they tend to be tiny little offerings that are on the small end of SMB. Their bigger bulkier enterprise stuff is easily overshadowed by any real enterprise offering from a larger hardware company, though i’ve seen some exist even in larger orgs but it’s not because something else couldn’t have done the job.
Anyone starting fresh has to do some work to catch up but it really depends on the use case. Basic NAS/DAS functions are so trivial.
I’m certain this can be disabled in windows at any moment as without it loads and loads of criminal evidence would be available for discovery and litigation against the wealthiest people and businesses across the world.
A real fear is being a worker in a world with micromanagers inspecting your workweek, 3 second snapshots at a time.
Sure and Santiago is a horrible example. I was just there a few months ago. It feels the most like boston of anywhere else in latin america. When I was in el salvador I thought I was gonna get robbed at the airport, where they pat you down at each departure gate.
The wages are livable, the neighborhoods are safe(mostly), the housing is affordable, the food is terrible (compared to lima anyway.) I couldn’t get enough of the mountains.
In lima I was getting cased by pickpockets, in santiago I didn’t ever feel that way. Lima’s traffic is on another level. Santiago’s rush hour is much more organized and you have way more street lights and better drivers. In lima as a pedestrian you have to RUN so they don’t hit you. In santiago they stop and let you cross - something nearly unheard of in a lot of other latin american nations.
Education quality is a tip of the iceberg.
Talk to someone who went to a public school in say the dominican republic. I’ve heard stories of years of kids just waiting around with next to no actual teaching involved from someone who was physically there in their childhood. If you don’t go to a private school odds are you aren’t going to get any real education or structure beyond what you pick up at home… and odds are your parents were in the same boat.
The US education system has been nothing like that, it is going to get like that in the south though. In remote low population areas it’s very possible to get bad - and clearly some teenage pregnancies disrupt things in the US, but in the DR it’s a lot worse.
You should see major cities in latin america if you think that’s bad. In many countries it’s like they don’t even care.
The US has no excuse though, we should be way, way better.
oh god utah. Can’t wait to see all the mormons without front teeth in 20 years.
Sir! Fresh off the presses, water is wet!
Can my line show up in the press now too?
Bravery or suicidal?
She told the cops ahead of time what the plan was. Did she expect it to go some other way?
She could’ve moved up to mass, i’m positive if she posted online someone would have taken her in to help her get a leg up in a part of the nation that isn’t full of bigoted ignorant dumpy lovers, but she didn’t.
I can’t see Florida, land of the insane, to rule anything on her side. That leaves appellate court or the supreme court… and I don’t see those going her way either.
Yeah, i’m not that deep into gender politics. I was just talking about somebody I don’t know, have never spoken to, have never met, and i’ve been relying on OP’s news article as my source of truth for all information about her.
She made the choice to be where she is. Here’s hoping she has an actual plan and she’s not just victim #1 like everyone replying to me is implying.
If she was just using the restroom without sending out a press release ahead of time so that cops would be there this would almost certainly not have happened. I just don’t know what this is supposed to accomplish in florida, land of the batshit insane people, especially with everything else bombarding us in the news. I get and agree with the desire to change things back to sanity, but I also know that my opinion is worth about as much as anyone on here.
You know, it doesn’t hurt to ask me instead of insinuating shit.
Sorry, have two in laws living with me who have been applying for jobs for 14 months without success. If they can’t get jobs here in boston, i’m guessing florida is even worse.
Has nothing to do with her in particular, just the state of how fucked this nation is. Just like what I said originally.
Umass boston was largely a joke. I do agree with that.
It’s mostly a time and money sink for a piece of paper unless you’re going into a profession that requires it… though you don’t usually need a degree, instead you need to pass various certifications. There’s even wacky exceptions like not needing a degree at all to take the BAR exam in Vermont.
Then there’s the hyper conservative colleges out there… I couldn’t tell you at all how those go but I wouldn’t assume very well.
