Jack Welch did not singlehandedly ruin capitalism. He was a symptom of the problems capitalism is designed to create.

Honestly, my first thought with almost any study on stuff like this is, "did you control for economic status?"
It's always the same shit: people who play golf live longer? Yeah, if they can afford to play an expensive game that takes a half a day to complete, they probably have more money and free time and less physical strain or emotional stress than the wage-slaves sorting boxes and hoping to be asked to work overtime so they can buy their kids braces.
My suspicion is that neurodiverse people are already used to feeling marginalized and unacceptable for invisible reasons, so there's less of a social barrier-to-entry in coming out. Like, "Everybody already thinks I'm weird and doesn't want to hang out; might as well tell 'em I'm queer."
I think there are probably a lot of neurotypical people that have non-heteronormative impulses and try to quash them for the sake of social status.
So what's going to happen when Trump vetoes this?
It only matters if it makes money for him. Someone wealthy and interested in cracking nuclear fusion would need to be giving him a payout.
I've had three different co-workers hounding me about how great it is. One guy showed me how he had it write an email for him. It took him longer to enter the prompt than it would've taken to just write the email himself.
The Juggernaut video was 2005, and the Fenslerfilms clips were around 2003. So neither of those are '90s
I've worked in three union shops in my life. The majority consistently vote against their own interests. I don't think this guy is grifting; I think he's got a ton of Teamsters telling him this is what they want.
reliable and familiar that won't break the bank.
This is why car companies are not going to offer EVs that people actually want without government intervention. I remember GM leasing EVs back in the '90s to some acclaim. But they didn't let anyone buy out their leases and they discontinued production by the end of the decade because most of their money came from service. And a bare-bones electric car has very few service requirements.
Manufacturers need the bullshit features because they need something important and breakable for consumers to come back with. Even if it's just planned obsolescence driving another purchase, like it sounds like the article's author is heading towards.
Anna and the Apocalypse is pulling holiday double-duty. It's a zombie survival musical set in the days before a school's Christmas break. Insanely ambitious genre-bash, especially for the shoestring budget it was produced on, but a very fun way to kill 90 minutes.
Scrooged is undeniably more a Christmas movie than a Halloween movie, but it's got some great spooky vibes. Especially with their portrayal of the Ghost of Christmas Future.
Uh... The dude already tried to stay in office unelected. That's what the Jan 6 riot was. He faced no consequences, and then got elected again.
