Biden? You mean the Biden that forced the Rail Owners into giving mandory sick leave? This Biden, who is touted as

We’re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our updated national agreement,” Russo said. “Without making a big show of it, Joe Biden and members of his administration in the Transportation and Labor departments have been working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers.

And to think, Clarence Thomas' wife was taking bribes on his behalf before it was cool.

I'm architecture-adjacent, so I'm working with clients across a bunch of different market sectors, many are business owners, but my avocations are heavily into performing arts so many people I know in that group are a pretty substantial cross section of low to moderate wage, often entry level workers. I also own my business so I've been in the hiring and training side of things.

It does appear to. I can find myself by searching on my username in either the old. or current web versions, but it's all people just referring to me - none of my posts show up. The author:overzeetop search returns no hits in both the old and new search engines.

It's the march of progress, but it's coming for previously "safe" jobs. I make a good living as a consultant, but about 80-90% of my job could be automated by AI. I just went to a conference in my field and everyone in the room was convinced that they couldn't be replaced by AI - and they're dead wrong. By the time my small corner of industry gets fully automated I'll be retired or, at the least, in a position where I'm the human gathering the field data and backchecking the automated workflows before it goes out the door.

political capital to implement a UBI

I applaud your optimism, and genuinely hope you're right.

presumably a human who works has some intention ... to succeed at work

Which is the one in ten who really love what they do and want to go into management or oversee the process for professional fulfillment. Of the other nine, three are waiting to move to a company that pays better, two will decide they don't like it and change careers entirely, and four really are terrible at it but HR decided they met the minimum requirements and would work for entry level wages so they'll be in that job for the foreseeable future with zero upward growth, eventually getting bitter and doing a worse and worse job while complaining about their lack of promotion.

And make another one just like you

Better than you, in fact.

The ability to make someone believe they have to go to the bathroom really bad but when they get there, nothing was really there.

So, business as usual for men over 60? (Or so I'm told)

Likewise - 11,500 hits on google

Which is a dick move, but I can see that as a workaround. However, my account shows no posts, and a search of my u/name shows no posts, so they must be tagged with a fake/shadow username that is disconnected from my account. Maybe I can find myself by searching from an alt account (self-shadow-banned?)

Edit: nope, I don't show up in searches from my alt, either.

Get me out after a couple of decades of the torture and this is the tragic backstory I need to turn evil and plot the end of humanity. Make my savior a nerdy but hot chick (Gal Gadot will work - just put some horn rimmed glasses on her) and have her die while escaping. I think we can get two sequels out of it.
