No, not if you're doing it to save money. If you're doing it because someone else is better, then yes.

See: IBM's software engineering, vs Delta's offering of their maintenance ops to other airlines. One has really, really worked out, the other hasn't.

That’s what makes it a good movie.

There's a fantastic movie about this - The Hunter. Strongly recommend. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1703148/

Capitalism worked. Price signals are very effective, though painful

I agree on a longer time scale, but my life and the lives of many I know is markedly worse than 5 years ago. Crime is up a LOT in NYC, and the subway for the first time in my lifetime feels sketchy during the day. Inflation has really hurt a lot of my lower SES friends, and there's a general nihilism that's pretty unpleasant.

Also, the mass shooting thing has gotten much worse in the last 30 years.

I completely agree, but also agree with their priority - almost all humans will die of heart disease, the remainder from various cancers or kidney failure.

That said, Alzheimer's is the only one that I've discussed with my wife - I'm not going through all that. Absolutely taking MAID in that case.

This post is about a murder in SF. Not about your home state. It's got nothing to do with the GOP.

Profit is an accounting illusion. Use free cash flow to see reality.

The fact he believed that was a real opinion is very concerning, and the core of the problem with the modern West Coast. People have become fucking unhinged.

Detroit is almost exactly the same size as SF. Detroit has cheap housing AND STILL BUILDS MORE. SF has decided that NIMBYism is the solution to homelessness, and it's obviously not working.

People don't like to believe that problems are of their own making. You legalize meth, then your city fills up with people using meth - that's not the problem of the GOP. There's approximately no Republicans in Seattle, SF, or Portland - the problem is progressivism.

I agree. The GOP gerrymandering SF so that they have complete control of city council is obviously the problem here. /s

There are no GOP members in City government, and haven't been for a long, long time. This is the result of progressive policies. Accept that or this will continue.

This thread is 90%+ people denying the very existence of a problem.

Last time I was in SF, people were shocked that I felt less comfortable than I do in Detroit. Detroit doesn't tolerate half the shit SF does - no encampments, no wandering screamers, etc. Yes, violent and organized crime is much higher - but when you're QOL is lower than the symbol of urban decline........

Many green plans are laid. I’ll celebrate if it comes to fruition

What about a weekly drinking contest

It basically is. There’s a few test plants for steel made with hydrogen but nothing serious

$20 says the company that cared about the spoons had a special bathroom for executives.

The popularity of GMT800s has exploded for this reason

Agreed, and local power tends to be much more responsive and accountable than the Feds. It's one of the best parts of the system (the Senate is the worst imo)

His complaints are very well outlined. They are a bit niche due to his use case, but they certainly are real, breaking changes out of nowhere.

Standards compliance really is the name of the game, and I wish people like GP had more pull to force Apple to make these reasonable changes.

I think you mean overestimate

You gotta hand it to Elon - he actually did it.

I've heard San Diego is more or less totally normal. SF is a fucking disaster.

There's also the Singapore approach, which is where we don't tolerate any of this insanity.

They absolutely talk about Baltimore as being a failed city:

Same with every other city on that list:

etc

Honestly, I agree. I think that the American experiment is failing. The school shootings, the insane death toll from reckless driving, the drugs - people are desperate and disconnected.

Religion and civic groups are basically gone, with no replacement. We're in these weird atomized suburban bubbles. Seems bad.

This is how the cartel works in Mexico - don't bother hiding, just take over the power structures. I wonder if she's connected to them.

This is a bad sign.

Fun Fact: Rat Park has never replicated, and is now considered bunk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_Park#Replication

What about since? That's ancient history in drug terms

I had very old chicken tikka once and it was exactly what you think. Funky, soft, and juicy. Not good!
