Funny, I can easily do that and assumed everyone could

I’m pretty smart (work as a scientist at a fancy research institute) and smoke a lot of weed. Less these days, but time was I smoked an ounce a week. I think these jokes are pretty funny sometimes.

It’s a settlement. The amount of money is not that small, but it ends the investigation into whether drivers should be classified as employees rather than contractors. As the article states, their stock prices soared after this, that tells you everything you need to know.

It would be $1,200 though

That’s the point, they don’t believe it’s gonna wipe us out, it’s just a convenient story for them

Geez, I hope they’re paying you to suck their dick this hard

It’s fine for the first time, as long as it’s followed up with the threat of an indefinite strike

The world used to think the US was cool. Mainstream public opinion changed roughly around the bush (W) era.

AI has been being developed for 50 years and the best we can do so far is a dunning-kruger sim. Sure, who knows what it “can do” at some point, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Yes lol

Unless we invent extreme life extension and make it available to everyone and they all want it, yeah, that’s guaranteed, current path or no

Ideally with the drivers inside

What about three weeks of extra annual leave, public holidays, real healthcare with no bullshit co-pays (and unlimited sick days, they don’t count towards “pto”), a maximum 35 hour work week… Because that’s more like what it would look like for a higher value job like that. Depends on the country and the job, of course. But in my case in the UK right now, and in my last job in Germany, my total “pto” in US terms has been roughly two months. (Which is a lot even here, but it’s not by any means unheard of, and easy to get if it’s a priority to you). Doing a job with an average salary of about 100k in the US, and I get paid a little over 50k £ for it, which is about 1.5 times the median salary here, so even after the recent inflation it affords a pretty comfortable lifestyle, it’s enough money to pay the mortgage and take holidays to the continent in my ample time off.

Sorry, this turned into a bit of a rant, but tldr: it’s not just “an extra week”
