Something like half of the US can't read at a 6th grade level. They cannot read and understand the complex writing at the bottom.

They're still there for, well, I can think of three reasons.

People vote for them. Organizing people to vote is hard for various reasons, but that mechanism is still present.

They're not murdered. Always an option, but certainly an escalation that doesn't scale well.

They're not expelled. Wikipedia says "In the entire history of the United States Congress, 21 members have been expelled: 15 from the Senate and six from the House of Representatives. Of these 21 members, 17 were expelled for supporting the Confederate States in 1861 and 1862. ", so that's not a commonly used option.

Personally I worry that if non-violent options fail, more people will see violence as an acceptable option.

Match group should be broken up.

Also racism!

People don't want those people getting something for "free"

You're doing more harm to the environment and shared spaces than the person riding the bus.

A Minnesota Republican lawmaker has dismissed climate change concerns by declaring that her faith is in Jesus Christ rather than scientists. Rep Mary Franson, a long-serving member of the Minnesota House, made the comments during a committee hearing last week.

Mary Franson is not fit to hold office and should be removed.

We shouldn't be doing more acquisitions. We should be breaking these companies apart.

We used to do retrospectives at one of my old jobs, because everywhere loves cargo-culting agile and scrum stuff.

I quickly realized that a lot of the problems were largely outside the team's control. It was shit like "The CEO doesn't believe in designers or UX, so he won't hire one, so we spend a lot of time doing that work badly ourselves." Or, "management is making us spend all this time in 'planning meetings' so we don't get anything done"

Stuff that has easy solutions, but we can't do because some idiot or powerful cry-baby is in the way.

My last job was pretty good about code reviews, when people actually spent time on them. My front end code got much better when the front-end expert actually reviewed it.

My current job, code reviews are a rubber stamp farce and I've seen total garbage sail though. The code base is a tire fire. These things are related.

I suggested at my current job that we adopt a policy of fixing things as we go. Boss wasn't interested. He said his boss said "he doesn't want people gold plating things".

Okay. I guess we'll keep this tower of bash scripts that breaks once a month.

Misread the /s as is and was mildly confused.

Also yes, police have very poor or negative value for what they cost.

Late Afternoon? I work from home. I shower before going out into the world socially.
