When you said “pushing the … propaganda” I assumed you meant using algorithms to artificially amplify these messages.

But the whole article is just about Musk posting his opinions on X.

It will certainly take a while to gather all evidence and verify it

So … if the evidence hasn’t been gathered yet what makes you think it’s happening?

I’m not blocking the ramps I’m not an idiot

I’ve never seen that line

So then what does the green line represent?

If I’m in the driver’s seat, I’m ready to move if a fire truck shows up

Me as an uber driver waiting for my passenger:

You can’t fix society from the top.

Every person has to do their part to fix society.

The idea that societies can (perhaps only) be fixed from the top is a convenient excuse to abdicate one’s own responsibility for taking care of things around them.

Dunkin is a franchise, so the local owner should have the ultimate authority on this policy.

Amen. This Dunkin endangered a customer relationship over a triviality.

For Dunkin’ Donuts as such, that one interaction is a single cell in an enormous crystal of interactions. Dunkin should write a procedure for this particular case because it’s going to happen millions of times.

And their procedure, to keep those thousands of customers, should be to fill up the cup.

sick of everyone’s shit

This is exactly the problem with most retail employees: they treat everyone like the small fraction of scammers that exist.

If it were my coffee shop, I’d just spend the few cents to fill that cup and I wouldn’t treat it as a problem until a significant portion of people were obviously gaming the system.

Penny pinching just gives off the impression that one doesn’t care about one’s customers.

In my opinion, commerce is a platform upon which community takes place. The people are the point.

What are your x and y axes here?

People say New Orleans flooded because there was a category 5 hurricane.

But the better way to look at it is that New Orleans flooded because the government chose not to maintain the dikes as advised by the Army Corps of Engineers.

It was also a lack of water in one of the reservoirs, a cut in the fire department budget, the fractured command structure of the local fire departments, the mayor being out of the country, failure to clear deadfall in the local forests, 100s of fire engines being down for maintenance, fire engines from other states being waylaid for emissions testing, fire equipment donated to Ukraine, a river being diverted into the ocean to save an endangered invasive fish species, and the fire department chief having a philosophy that it’s not her problem if people are stuck in a fire.

Fires get sparked all the time. That’s why we have fire departments: not to prevent fires from sparking, but to prevent them from spreading.
