Iran establishing relations with socialist regimes with a focus on minority rights is more dangerous for Iran than it is for Iran exporting any sort of ideology. I wouldn't worry about it. We're more likely to coup Boliva (again) just because of MAS than any relations with Iran.

Only cloud hosting providers can provide hosting for themselves as cheaply as google. Microsoft and Amazon (except through prime video and twitch) have shown no interest in entering the fray. The downfall will only come through antitrust.

A general strike would result in the fall of the federal government. Secondary action is illegal because it's so powerful. This is an interesting way to get around that, with every contract just happening to align with the other.

Bester would've been even more sinister with that hairstyle.

Not really worth worrying about if you don't live in Colorado. She don't exactly have much impact on policy decisions.

Her and Gaetz are just monkeys to justify baser urges of the Republican electorate.

You continue on the quest to get banned from every community in the fediverse.

No shit. External shrink numbers are always a very tiny percentage of operating costs. Look at rent and labor if you want to know what they're actually trying to balance.

It's idiotic that businesses fight labor so much btw. They always view labor as a controllable cost and rent as one that's not controllable, which is bullshit. Margins always have to be made, no matter what business rents the space. If labor costs across an industry increase to the point that rents don't justify running a business there, the landlords will drop their prices (after going bankrupt and losing the property to the bank and the bank losing money from that). If you keep squeezing the workers, the landlords will raise their prices. It's always capital squeezing everything out of everyone, no matter how you look at it.

I prefer a bit more expansion on the bottom end myself, but some folks like the swimmer's physique.
