The promise was that fewer workers could do the same amount of work, or even more

I listened after reading your comment, and in the first half of the example, Dessa sounds drunk to me, or at least tipsy. So weirdly, the laugh made sense to me.

What about throughput (reasoning) and output? Or can we reasonably assume those are downstream of input and therefore covered by this policy as well?

The climate activists mostly do something stupid like obstructing traffic, unlike the farmers, who obstruct traffic in a way you apparently consider rational.

I feel like they're pretty self-aware about it. I dont mind it, it keeps the episodes engaging and family friendly.

I stand corrected. I did not know they offered this; has this always been the case?

Rossmann is still relevant and to my knowledge has not discredited his cause. Your comment about him needing to get his facts right or risking irrelevance is wishful thinking and clearly not reflective of the reality of his impact on Right to Repair legislation (if you are suggesting that he does not get his facts right).

Technology Connections is an educational channel that occasionally offers political commentary. Telling his audience to vote is a call to action, but not the same as organizing. Rossmann is an organizer who engages with policymakers. To treat them as being on the same level is to misunderstand what they are each doing.

> Rossman is a drama YouTuber, like many others.

I dont see how he is “like many others”. A lot of YouTubers cover controversy for controversy sake, or just as material for another sponsored video. He does not do sponsored content, and usually seems to push for something concrete around consumer rights. So I think the comparison to other drama Youtubers is unfair.

In my view, the drama is more a way to draw attention to his activism. He does tend to put his money and time where his mouth is.

But perhaps my view is biased, since I only see the videos the YouTube algorithm suggests to me, and those may be the ones that are more focused on consumer rights than drama. Still, that has consistently been my impression.

Did people already refer to it as the Great Depression in 1929?

I’ve been using Observation.org (or rather its localized version Waarneming.nl) to record my hedgehog sightings. Should I use both platforms, or do these data points end up aggregated downstream anyway?

In the acknowledgements section. However, after reviewing it, I’m not sure what or who I should be looking for, so I’m not entirely sure what the OP is hinting at.

At first glance, nothing appears suspicious, though I should note that I’m not familiar with any of the authors and haven’t looked into them further.

The Netherlands is preventing is trying to prevent hyperscale data centers from being built because they require as much energy is a year as a small city. I can't imagine dismissing the import of a small city's worth of Indians quarterly as trivial.
