this is to me the same issue in terms of why I was upset about Larian: a pattern of behaving badly towards the labor that makes a game possible
NEW: For the last seven weeks, Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to finish an internal demo of their next game, Intergalactic. The game won't be out until 2027, leaving some staff wondering: If they're crunching now, what will next year be like? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.
This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that?
The 25 richest families are collectively $358.7 billion richer than a year ago, with a combined fortune totaling $2.9 trillion.

Yesterday two different clients told me they wanted to take their cases to the Supreme Court because they knew there was still a liberal majority.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

One thing that the nazis did upon gaining power was to take measures to rapidly increase wages across the board. This was part of the propaganda. It worked quite well.
This admin is doing cargo cult nazism. All of the attempts at and aesthetics of power without the intermediary steps to get to it.

There IS a model for what he's trying to do, it happens all the time in municipal politics.
You can steal from people quite a bit, you can implement ruinous policy, you can get away with it but you HAVE to offer a tangible immediate bribe to distract from the pain.

I spent years around Philly politics, I'm not naive.
We certainly have plenty of self-dealing political actors.
But if you're going to use your union treasury to finance your sportscar, you damn better be giving your members free turkeys every Thanksgiving, and an open bar at the holiday party

Simeon Brown is forcing Health NZ to sign 10 year contracts with private hospitals - meaning it will be very difficult for a future government to back out of the contracts. But the evidence is clear, privatised healthcare costs more and delivers worse outcomes: www.rnz.co.nz/news/on-the-...
NZ’s shift to more private healthcare will likely raise costs and reduce quality: what the evidence tells us
Analysis: Studies show public healthcare is more likely to lead to better health outcomes, and diverting public funds to private healthcare erodes the quality of public care.
