families with strained finances could cope by eating “cereal for dinner” the rich

Way to undersell a product right in the name. Brought to you by the makers of “Eh, It Doesn’t Suck Too Bad” and “Well, I Guess I’ve Eaten Worse”.

Dell employees will mostly all be considered “remote” or “hybrid” starting in May, BI reported. Hybrid workers have to come into the office at least 39 days per quarter, Dell confirmed to Ars Technica, which equates to approximately three times a week. Those who would prefer to never commute to an office will not “be considered for promotion, or be able to change roles,” BI reported.
“For remote team members, it is important to understand the trade-offs: Career advancement, including applying to new roles in the company, will require a team member to reclassify as hybrid onsite,” Dell’s memo to workers said, per BI.

Another good one that they connect to the present time.
One thing I like about the American Experience is that they assume you are intelligent and want to know more. They don’t serve leftover clichés and stereotypes.

Wow. If I ever become homeless again, I’ll definitely consider buying a ticket to Australia! I had no idea that they gave all the homeless people fancy upscale apartments, nice cars, and tricked out RVs, and a good income, so that they could spend their days walking on the beach, writing stories, and traveling wherever they felt like on a whim. /s
I feel like they really could’ve done a much better job at that documentary (unless maybe that actually is what homelessness there is like?). At least here in the U.S., there are also a ton of people couchsurfing on the goodwill of friends, or worse, living rough, or worse, in dangerous shelters. The fact that they didn’t show any of that, or even begin to address it - well that is a bit awkward.
It’s like they’re trying to showcase homelessness as a pleasant vacation, with all your needs met and not a care in the world. Just the minor gripe that you don’t own a house.

Wow. You and I drew very different conclusions from that.

Putting this over here because it’s definitely not “good news”
“By invalidating existing noncompete agreements and prohibiting businesses and their workers from ever entering into such agreements going forward, the rule will force businesses all over the country—including in this District—to turn to inadequate and expensive alternatives to protect their confidential information, such as nondisclosure agreements and trade-secret lawsuits,” the Chamber of Commerce said in its complaint.
Yeah, that’s sort of how it should be. If it’s important enough to protect, then protect it, don’t prevent the person from working in their field altogether.

… why do the media always want there to be “common ground”

The common ground is if you don’t like abortion then don’t have one. But that’s completely unacceptable to the anti-choice people who want control over everyone else. /obvious

So many threats to democracy nowadays. Even broken ones like ours.

Damn. Usually you just have to infer that kind of nutbag politics.
