It's quite telling that I can't tell if this is real or not and I can't be bothered to log in to check.

I agree. I'd love it if I could take a less demanding job. Burnout sucks and I would love to have more time for my family and hobbies.
I just can't see how that would work between paying my home loan and other living expenses.
Question about the public transport system, how long does it take to get to common destinations like work, grocery stores, doctors, and etc? Also, how easy is it to get to stations/stops?
For example, the closest grocery store by me is a 37 minute walk or 12 minutes by bike I just don't think it would be practical to ride with a weeks worth of food for a family. There is no public transportation available.
I feel the same. Even in a state as populated as NJ the public transit system is mediocre unless you are going into NYC.
And people didn't think Trump had a shot back in 2016.
I live in a town that's split down the middle politically and I still see people flying Trump flags even after all the bs he has done. We even had a council member denounce pride month back in June at a council meeting. They think they are fighting the good fight.
Anyway, my point is that there are people who will see what Greta is doing, even if it benefits them, and still fight it because they think their side has their back.
It's frustrating when people think talking down to others is going to change minds. It's no wonder progressive activists fail to make progress.
If you expect people with different perspectives to get behind people like Greta you'll want to adopt a better strategy. Otherwise, you'll continue to polarize folks.
I am not sure about that. There plenty of people who use her as an example to further their propaganda against progressive movements.
Hmm, in this instance probably. I am worried she'll gather the wrong type of attention and turn more people off than on to climate issues.
Yep, I think so. I look at reddit periodically and while they haven't had performance issues lately (I wonder why, lol). The posts don't seem geniune anymore. Instead they are forced and lame.
There are probably multiple factors going on. First, there is the belief that you can't take away functionality people already expect. Second, while there would be a number of people willing to shell out money, they probably believed a majority of folks would not. Look at what people are willing to put up with at Facebook. I hate it, but most of my friends and family are on it so I'm there. Third, their backers would never approve because of point two.
Stupid? Definitely. A play out of Trump's playbook? Kinda. Normally Trump is the one that gets sued.
They will probably look to get small to mid size employers to settle in order to avoid a costly legal battles. Although I wouldn't be surprised if this is all just a ploy to keep his fanboys in line.
