I looked up the Advice Memo [0] written by the NRLB (thanks tptacek for mentioning that document) so that I could try to see what exactly they found discriminatory about Damore's p…

Didn't I link 32-CA-205351 (both the case page and the PDF)?

Do you have a link to the Advice Memo? I'm having trouble finding it on nlrb.gov's site or Google w/ `site:www.nrlb.gov`. It looks like it may be this [0][1]. But, that case doesn'…

That's possible of course. But, I haven't read exactly what the NRLA found to be discriminatory. This would help anyone that is legitimately trying to improve working conditions an…

Yes, but not if you're trying to organize to improve working conditions, because this is protected by the NRLA. If the NRLA believes only parts of Damore's memo were working toward…

Does the Advice Memo go into detail on exactly which parts of Damore's memo are discriminatory and which parts aren't?

> “Much of" Damore’s memo was probably protected under the law. ... But ... Google discharged Damore only for his "discriminatory statements," which aren’t shielded by labor law. G…

I've heard him insist that he hasn't and wouldn't deliberately misgender one of his students. From my understanding, it is purely the attempt to compel behavior from him that is hi…

Poe's Law strikes again. I see your comment was even flagged.

And look! You're still here :)

I agree. If being mistaken as the wrong gender causes someone significant enough distress to make them commit suicide, they need (and likely are getting) serious mental health atte…

I realize that cost of living has an impact on wealth. But, we're talking about taxes and mostly about a couple specific provisions: SALT deduction, mortgage interest deduction, an…

You're right that there are parts of this bill not to like, the estate tax stuff for sure and possibly the pass-through rate as well. But, where we disagree are the parts that "pun…

OP is talking about comparing families specifically. This talking point doesn't mean anything on the level of a single taxpayer. You could argue that the family in Texas is getting…

Thank you for posting the numbers to back this up.

"in the bay area" is not relevant. Living in the bay area is not a right. If the taxes or cost of living is too high, then you can't live in the bay.

I'm just saying that that's not how a lot of people see it. Living in an expensive market is not a right.

This is what a lot of commenters aren't getting. Complaints about raising my taxes to lower corporate taxes is kinda ironic because 200K+ is rich as far as most of America is conce…

This article is more descriptive, not mentioning why the bill is setup like this. But, it's worth saying that this is working as intended from a GOP perspective. This hits mostly d…

I don't think it's that odd. This norm doesn't really exist currently. How do you think a company could encourage their employees to not talk politics at work?

That'd be fine with me if it was enforced equally. I haven't worked anywhere that attempted to do that, so not sure if it'd work or not. But, I'm skeptical. I think what may happen…

It's nice that you have some friends that you can discuss opposing views with. I also cherish some of my liberal friends who I can have a genuine discussion with. I've also had som…

I was thinking the same thing! I was thinking about what NLP / ML you could whip up to answer these kinds of basic questions. It could auto-reply to the super common things: - Didn…

I did that recently, moved from the Bay Area to a red state. But, what about the concept of engaging with and challenging people who have different beliefs? People don't really cha…
