Does anybody know why or how Ashley Madison is still in business? Who in God's name would be so loving stupid to sign up for that site after all that?? Moridin920 posted:It's not bad, it's a brilliant idea. I can't even really fault Bush for allowing federal funding to go to schools that are online only (previously they had to be at least 50% on campus classes iirc) - maybe he did it a bit too early I guess is the worst you could really say... ITT Tech wasn't an online school

Darth123123 posted:Bigotry? A lot of the poorer less educated people in Alabama are Black, whereas most of Canada is White. It's probably not a racist dog whistle, but it's also bullshit that they couldn't find enough people who could read in the Deep South so they moved to Canada. But it apparently got the company owner some press and got a bunch of like-minded people to nod their heads in agreement. That's if the story is even true. There are plenty of manufacturers who've moved to Southern states for cheaper labor that have no problem building poo poo. Are we really to believe this company picked the one spot where there weren't enough workers with a 5th grade education? And that instead of increasing wages, importing talent, or the job training they picked leaving the country as their only solution? Maybe it was a Canadian company that was outsourcing to Alabama and instead brought those jobs back to their country. That's the only way it makes sense.

Lol the fact that you're willing to jump on the grenade that is trying to defend the South says more about you than it does me. Citizen Tayne posted:Volkswagen pushed to unionize workers at their Nashville plant, so the state of Tennessee threatened to take away their state tax credits if they did. This story really pisses me off for a lot of reasons. For one they say the UAW killed Detroit, yet somehow, through some magical fuckery, foreign companies were able to make, market, and sell cars ACROSS THE OCEAN for the same price or cheaper as their American counter parts. It wasn't  we have to pay our workers a living wage. The cars were just not as good. Two, the unionizing employees and VW actually had a GOOD relationship. VW was leaning towards unionization because everywhere else in the world they have union workers and its easier to figure out benefits and stuff. They were more or less luke warm on whichever way it went, and left it up to the workers. Three, the Senators got involved on their own. VW didn't' want them interfering, and the workers sure as hell didn't. This poo poo is bordering on illegal the way the Senators were trying to union busting and interfering with the NLRB. loving parasite rear end in a top hat REpublicans.

FilthyImp posted:The old concept of a DJ actually, like, curating a playlist and poo poo is done. There was a late-night guy on KLOS Classic Rock in LA that used to actually create a themed playlist (was it Jim Ladd?) with an experimental night where the tracks blended together and whatever. They got rid of him around 2010 and as far as I can tell they now have an iPod folder with "rock" set to random play because Nirvana, Incubus and The Eagles totally belong together. Steve Jones (formerly of the Sex Pistols) has a show on KLOS that's kinda like that; he tends to organize around a theme. He also tends to bring on musicians and jam with them live on the air. AFAIK it's KLOS's highest rated show. He's more constrained than he used to be, when he was on Indie 103.1 he would literally play whatever the gently caress he wanted, including records, tapes, and CDs he brought with him from his home. Had one hell of a collection of B-sides. Honestly the show seems to have lost a little of it's energy but I tune in whenever I'm in the car at noon, then switch back to Pandora right after he's done.

I'm gonna hesitate to say "lol the south is dumb" on this, because no other region of America has had more success regarding its wealthiest citizens playing divide-and-conquer with people poorer than them. Even Oklahoma, Texas, and Arizona flirted very heavily with socialist politicians and movements before becoming The South On Steroids.

Sears is also the only company I've seen that tries the "CLOSE OUT LIQUIDATION = 100% Retail Price" way of closing down stores. One near me a few years ago was closing and I went twice, separated by a month, figuring that the second time the store would be depleted and have things i might want marked down. Nope. 95% Retail price suckers, buy your garbage $89 wrench set for $84.99. Want an Arc Welder? Was $699 now $679. Television? Was $899 now $899.

another problem alabama kept having for awhile there was when their draconian immigration law kept getting foreign automotive executives arrested Yada was stopped in Leeds, Alabama, at a checkpoint set up by police to catch unlicenced drivers. He was ticketed on the spot, despite the fact that he showed an international driver's licence, a valid passport and a US work permit. Yada is the second foreign car executive to fall foul of the new law. Last month police officers arrested a German director of Mercedes-Benz for failing to carry a valid driver's licence. The move exposed Alabama to widespread criticism and ridicule. The St Louis-based Post-Dispatch newspaper revelled in Alabama's embarrassment by publishing an open letter to foreign car companies encouraging them to pack their bags and move to the rival car-producing state of Missouri. "We are the Show Me State, not the Show Me Your Papers State," it wrote, telling auto bosses: "You've got two choices. Either ask your executives to carry their immigration papers at all times, or move to a state that understands gemüchlichkeit."

Honda's big things, Pilots and Ridgelines, were made in Ontario originally but they moved production down to Alabama a few years ago. I actually wondered about the quality of the newer Pilots and whelp. BMW makes some of this stuff in some particularly hellish part of South Carolina which is actually worse than Alabama. I thinks it's only the garbage X models tho.
