Yes, but a few able bodied men with a rental truck have nothing to seize.
rcstank··on When flat rate movers won't answer your calls
There isn’t any indication of such, OP formed a strawman by suggesting the problem is because of hoarding.
rcstank··on When flat rate movers won't answer your calls
There are so many variables. All it takes is a few able bodied guys to start up a company and prey on people who need to move, sometimes short notice. If a job gets screwed up, no big deal, just start another company or have another friend do it and team up.
rcstank··on Finland is painting deer antlers with reflective paint (2014)
Not necessarily. Many places require deer tags to be purchased. If you shoot a deer, you have to tag it. Many hunters also won’t kill just any deer. It’s often better to let the deer live for another season to let it mature.

rcstank··on Tesla conducting more layoffs, including entire Supercharger team
That’s not what fired means in the US. Being fired is for cause. If I got laid off I would never say I was fired, I would say I was laid off. If I said I was fired I’d have to explain what I did wrong, whereas if I was laid off nobody asks questions.
rcstank··on Tesla conducting more layoffs, including entire Supercharger team
Fired means the role will be backfilled, and the employee was let go for performance reasons or whatever else.

Laid off means the role won’t be backfilled. It could also mean the role was renamed, and they wanted to let the employee go but it looks better for everyone to say it was a layoff.

Let go (at least to me) could mean either.
