  • That’s a false choice if I ever heard one. Surely reasonably-paced increases in productivity could spawn job creation in other areas? And while modern-day capitalism is not exactly encouraging this, maybe we can take advantage of less manpower needed to make society function by having less time working (with a similar quality of life) for all? If there were only so many employment hours available, there are ways of distributing that other than raising the unemployment rate or artificially lowering it.






  • They seem to build out the number of handicapped spots for the peak crowd amount, which makes sense. If I’m at Home Depot and it’s 8PM, and there are maybe a dozen cars in the lot I could maybe see making a few spots handicap only during certain times?

    The flip side is that it’s only a few more steps for me. I’ll survive






  • an nda is enforced by the justice system it’s not going to enforce it against itself

    It’s not that simple. There are two main components to the legal system, civil and criminal. Civil is between two private parties (people, companies, and sometimes the government) for disputes with contracts and such. Criminal law is when the government brings changes against you for breaking the law.

    Generally law enforcement (“the justice system”) works on the criminal side of things. It doesn’t really care about a contract between two people if something illegal is happening. Can you imagine the loopholes that could create in organized crime if you just had to write a contract and you couldn’t use an otherwise willing accomplice as a witness?
