Nah, the remaining employees aren't the "dead wood" necessarily. They're all the ones on H1 visas who can't legally work in the US anywhere else (without taking a massive risk).
I bet they could get the Democrats' help! All they have to do is nominate a Democrat for Speaker. What a beautiful opportunity for bipartisanship!
...wait that's not what they meant?
EVs start their life with a higher environmental burden than ICE vehicles, but the math comes out so that the burden becomes lower after between 15k-20k miles.
By the end of life of an EV, they are more eco friendly than an ICE vehicle of similar build.
It's also how you destroy the environment of the Niger River Delta.
You want to take out the pumps, not the pipelines.
(Calm down NSA, I'm saying this purely in jest)
That "college friends" line always bugged me. I keep in closer touch with my good high school friends then I do with my old college friends.
I remember thinking a similar thing in early 2016
"Sir you don't understand. We were being completely chaste while fucking the shit out of each other. We were just trying to prepare for that orgo exam."
The article was a fun read, but for readers who don't have time, I believe Orwell's essay "Politics and the English Language" describes the same problem with marginally fewer words. My favorite excerpt, though, really nails exactly the BS your article mentioned:
Now that I have made this catalogue of swindles and perversions, let me give another example of the kind of writing that they lead to. This time it must of its nature be an imaginary one. I am going to translate a passage of good English into modern English of the worst sort. Here is a well-known verse from Ecclesiastes:
I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Here it is in modern English:
Objective consideration of contemporary phenomena compels the conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with innate capacity, but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account.
This is a parody, but not a very gross one.
Peterson's writings are worse than Orwell's own parodies.
Orange County, where Disney World is located, went for the D candidate 53-46. Don't blame them for the malignant human tumor their state foisted on them.
LOCK HIM UP
That headline is doing the murderer's work by literally propagating his anti-LGBT terrorism. Shame on that periodical.
Ugh, gig workers need to be brought into some semblance of a minimum wage. Uber and Doordash are just techstortion.
