I find it comical that the Switch was completely ignored, which just means to me that Nintendo finally won the console wars while the other two fight for second place. VGCharts has this for lifetime sales for the current consoles in the USA.
Switch 1 (57,530,683)
PlayStation 5 - (33,012,035)
Xbox Series X|S - (20,764,129)
Switch 2 -(4,243,125)
Nintendo isn't really competing in the same space. You buy Nintendo if you want their exclusive games, otherwise not. For everything else, you get to pick between PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Steam deck, etc
“Next year for sure, we will have over a million robotaxis on the road,” said Musk on October 21, 2019. “The fleet wakes up with an over-the-air update. That’s all it takes.”
Yes, we all know that when Elon makes promises about the future, he's always late delivering on them. But this is about the capabilities of something that's already here, and those kind of claims are way more reliable.
He did a short lived tv show about helping people out and then the stipulation was you had to be available when he needed you. It was a great concept but I think it lasted one season.
This is a key point people forget. Unions did not invent the 5-day workweek or healthcare, they stole the idea from private non-union jobs. If you think unions are going to provide some unparalleled advancement in ease of living you're going to be disappointed
I mean I'm not sure if linking is necessary but Henry Ford is widely credited for inventing the 5-day work week (which he reduced from 6 days without reducing pay).
Health insurance attached to your job is more complex, as the first major instances were in Germany in the 1800's, however generally it was a result of wage controls during WWII. Private companies weren't able to compete on wages, so they started adding benefits.
Unions do not progress employee benefits, they're hostile political organizations inside companies, and once you understand that everything else makes sense. If unions attracted top talent than companies who wanted top talent would enact them; and if they improved wages then the best wages would be union jobs. In private industry, this is essentially never the case.
They can establish better base conditions so that the top performers that individually bargain would obtain better conditions - ie 4 work days rather than 5 -. It's a silly example, it might not be 4 work days, but given that we have the actual 40hrs week thanks to striking and unions the gist remains. You are actually benefitting of the advances made by unions even if you're not part of one - in addition to your performance
