Mobile really is far worse than desktop web without a blocker, especially on Chrome on Android compared to my previous iOS or Windows Phones. I'd never seen so many driveby attempts to install crappy software.
The desktop web is still a horrible experience, especially on slow connections or slow computers. Turn off adblock, open the inspector and you'll see ads consuming >90% of bandwidth, memory and CPU, even on mainstream sites. It really is an absurd situation.
Technically, I don't think there is anything to prevent an employer for forcing you to attend company parties as a condition of employment. Of course the vast majority of employers wouldn't do this, but in this case your only choice is to go to the parties or take a different job.
Now an argument could be made that the employer-employee relationship is different from the union-employee relationship, but is there a reason that any such difference implies that a union can't set conditions for employment?
Comments like this annoy me. A few decades ago unions were powerful forces for worker rights, and served a major purpose by allowing collective bargaining.
Nowadays we have "right to work" laws being sponsored by companies and people somehow think it's "wrong" to join unions and bargain collectively.
When I see posts like this, I shake my head and wonder where we went wrong.
oh, that's easy, the unions fought for what was fair, and when they got it they KEPT GOING. we need a good balance, not for the side who happens to have the power at the moment taking all they can get.
A group leaving the country doesn't give 2 shits about the constitution. It comes down to how much you are willing to fight for it, and both sides would end up with nukes.
I doubt it gets that far, but it really does seem like something needs to change. The country doesn't necessarily need to shift as far left as california, but right not a set of old laws working with the modern shift towards cities is really reducing the power of a vote in CA/NY. That's a pretty big problem.
Totally different than bundling it with the OS.
Except wait, they do that too.
