Bus drivers are not making MW anywhere.

And they require skills. Which puts them firmly out of the mindless, worthless, broom pushing category that was being constructed here.

They ask for proof, and then when you give it try to hide your comment through downvoting. Followed by saying that it doesn't even matter.

Very topical example of why these "benevolent censorship" schemes are are worse than the problem they are trying to fix.

Ben Schapiro has literally written books about how terrible the alt-right is, yet he that is what he is frequently called.

And who at the companies are making decisions about policy? Employees.

.. not really? Most of the time policy is set from the top. Netflix isn't exactly a worker co-op.

Everybody contributes to a companies culture and that drives the people at the top too.

Large, also reusable containers.

In rural areas many people feed their table scraps to chickens.

>hackers tied to Russian intelligence hacked the DNC

That was debunked this summer.

Not according to Crowdstrike, who was hired to do the audit[0].

No it wasn't at all! What makes you think that? If you have read that somewhere you should be very careful with that source in the future because it is telling you the wrong things.

Here's the Republican-led senate report from September confirming exactly that the Russian intelligence hacked the DNC:

"The committee found that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president" etc.

See page 174 onwards for details of what the GRU did and how they were traced.

The earlier Mueller report finds the same thing of course.

"Beginning in March 2016, units of the Russian Federation’s MainIntelligence Directorateof the General Staff (GRU) hacked thecomputers and email accounts of organizations, employees, and volunteers supporting the Clinton Campaign, including the email account of campaign chairman John Podesta." - see page 36, https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/docu...

This is very fair criticism for standard jobs like a regular software developer.

For a role like this, where outsized skill of someone who is and needs to be elite should be rewarded with enormously outsized pay, I think this a good model.

I think we're in agreement.

But, I do find it wild that a group as decorated as this already can't even get compensation that is commensurate with their skill and experience without having to rely on intangible future benefits.
