- Comment on U.S. drivers lost 42 hours—a full work week—to traffic in 2023: Congestion 'hinders economic growth,' expert says 1 week ago:
It feels a bit radical but I feel the same way. Maybe not before I leave my home, because then they’d wanna tell me what I can do with that time, but commuting? Heck yeah.
It’s like paying for shipping and handling. I wouldn’t otherwise be expending resources to go do this thing, and I’m being compelled to do it by currency. Sounds like employees need to tack on a “transportation fee.”

Yeah as they say sitting for long periods physically doing nothing is similar to smoking for cardiovascular health.
…I shudder to think of the effects of being stuck in traffic while breathing in everybody else’s fumes.

So, so far ahead of his time. What a genius.

I don’t wanna just say “this”, but for real, excellently put.
“But we just have to abuse people for a little while until…”
Then it’s not a viable business model. Easy as that.
Cooperatives are a thing, and they work, they just don’t scale like cancer by generating hype-funding over destroying their employees, so they don’t drum up so much excitement from the moneyed.

Their logic is like “Yeah, our bosses mistreated us! But they’re in a tight spot because the invisible economy forced their hand! The market is flooded with mythological job-stealing crime-doing immigrants we’ve never met, so we understand, boss-man. The democrats will pay for this.”
Lol

Thankfully I’ve managed to buy any sorta niche stuff I needed from literally anywhere else.
A cursory glance at Amazon revealed it’s basically a bloated corpse stuffed with trash at this point.
I’d put more trust in careful Ebay shopping to avoid straight-up fakes anymore.

berated during a meeting with my boss a month later
A MONTH later. I’m willing to bet it didn’t even impact anything, and boss wouldn’t even have remembered it happened at all if they didn’t scribble it down in their little black book.
I had a boss like this too. Would never just talk to me about any concerns, they would act like everything is fine and then bring up a laundry list of petty complaints they’ve logged over like 4 months.
All it proved was they spent more time side-eyeing my work and spying on me than doing their actual job. When they weren’t wandering off to the other side of the building chatting up other management about nothing, for hours on end, while I handled their job too, alone every day, of course.
Not all people are bad. But the intersection between stupid and evil tends to converge in management.

Reminds me of poorly designed MMOs, when everybody is fighting hard to bring down a tough monster…and the player who pokes it for the last 5 damage gets all the EXP and loot!

I wonder if they want everyone to RTO because they know they can’t rely on their own infrastructure. Lol

- Comment on Tokyo government to introduce four-day workweek for its employees 1 month ago:
This is incredible. So much that it’s kinda hard to believe.
Yeah, as it sounds like you’re aware, if you’re not a full-time-company-person in the U.S, you’re basically expendable dirt here.
But we also have a majority of benefits tied to full-time employment. My wife and I live with family and both work part time…we both agree that jobs’ intrusion into peoples’ life space is a huge source of destroyed relationships and broken homes, depression, and plenty more social maladies.
It’s simply not worth it.

This is encouraging if they’re onto something! I’ve been obsessing over it lately, finding some way to actually recycle or at least destroy plastic. Sadly I don’t have that kind of background.
There isn’t gonna be “profit” in this. But man, people are voluntarily putting subdermal chips in themselves to become diet-cyborgs, and gene-hacking plants together in their garages.
Ironically, look at 3D printing and how that exploded! (As well as the very niche research into spooling plastic bottles and stuff into filament!)
Plastics up-cycling or elimination has to be headed by hobbyist hacker types more than anything. It won’t get the grants, it won’t get the government sign-offs, and in sheer mind-blowing stupidity, waste production is projected to increase exponentially in the next coming years.
There’s plenty of people with hard science degrees getting ignored for jobs, getting radicalized just by looking out their window. I know it’s a complicated subject, but coordinating efforts like distributed protein folding and I dunno, limited use of LLM to scientifically predict things…
People way smarter than me gotta be on this already right? We gotta figure this out and open-source it to anybody and everybody who wants to deploy it, before the world’s big players has a chance to do anything to stop us.
