Good. This should be a priority nationwide to restore the native names that were replaced by anglicized versions as the land was stolen. Ideally the land would be restored as well, but we know that’s not gonna happen. Restoring the name requires minimum effort.

While we’re at it, let’s remove references to Confederate names, they were traitors to the nation and they lost. Most of us have underwear that has lasted longer than the Confederacy. They don’t deserve to be honored and remembered with monuments and locations named for them.

100% in most cases.

On the flip side, there are some employees that also seem to just not take pride in what they are doing.

There’s a similar major issue with home building in the US, and has been getting a massive viral spike from TikTok and YouTube Shorts posted by Cy Porter in AZ. He just posts short clips showing what he finds on a daily basis doing new home build inspections. The obvious complete lack of care about the end product from the builders is honestly astounding.

That’s not building an airplane where hundreds of people’s lives are relying on your job, but just the bare minimums not being followed and the attitude when it’s called out reminded me a lot of how it seems Boeing responded to all these whistleblowers when they tried to follow internal processes for quality control.

Ah the assumption that it was tested first before being deployed to prod. Given what we know now about Boeing’s “testing” and “certification” processes, or lack thereof, that may be a big assumption.

I would like to point out that MCAS was only a thing because Boeing wanted to certify the 737 MAX as just another variant with no additional pilot training or certification needed. But the differences made the plane maneuver and react to input differently. So MCAS was developed to try and compensate for that. And then they didn’t train pilots on the new system, because it was being certified as a regular variant that should not have different flight characteristics. The FAA accepted their explanation at face value and rubber stamped it basically, and in the process saved Boeing Billions of dollars of additional development costs.

A perfect example of why correlation does not mean causation.

At least they have the decency to keep their shit behind closed doors.

Believe it or not, even with almost all the power in the state held by the Mormons, with some of their crazy beliefs, Utah actually has a lot of sensible legislation on the books and regularly makes common sense rulings easily.

Official documentation doesn’t have any bearing on what you call someone in class. It’s literally no different than calling William by his preferred name of Will.

Because they aren’t actually believers, they want to have a shield for being shitty. And the church will even help defend them.

It gets so annoying trying to explain just basic inflation to idiots saying minimum wage doesn’t need to be changed. Not to even get into actual increases since we’re producing so much more now than we used to.

For those that don’t understand… $1.00 in 1950 has the same value as $13.04 in 2024. So if we take the $0.75/hr minimum wage from 1950 and just calculate for inflation alone, we would be at $9.78 to have the same buying power. That assumes prices didn’t actually increase at all, just matching inflation. So anyone making minimum is making 26% less than they would have in 1955.

And that doesn’t take into account ANY increases in actual prices of products or basic necessities like food and housing, or education, beyond basic inflation. We all know that nothing has increased in price by only inflation over the last 70+ years. Basic necessity pricing has shot up way more than inflation in the past couple years alone.

And it’s nearly impossible to explain to those same people how a progressive tax structure works. No, you aren’t making less money overall just because a simple raise moves you into a higher tax bracket. There are certain situations that could, but you would have to have a very specific and strange portfolio for that to be the case. Something a regular average worker wouldn’t have.

Ah, is Alberta like Alabama?

Who would have thought, adding a private profit incentive would mean overall prices go up?

You’re supposed to be smarter than us Canada!

Not only that, but McDonald’s had been warned previously that the temperature they kept it at was literally dangerous and could cause burns instantly. They chose to keep it there intentionally, ignoring the safety issue they were already told could happen.

The bone was 1 and 3/8 inch long. That’s not a bone piece. That’s just a fucking bone.
