Regardless of any wrongdoing that occurred during the animal trials, the way that Musk is marketing this and talking about it on X concerns me deeply.
It seems genuinely irresponsible to hype up a medical technology like this when it appears that the animal trials (and the implanted device itself) were not safe and effective.
I really hope the FDA did their due diligence when they cleared the device for human trials. The consequences of not doing so would be devastating for those affected by quadriplegia and ALS and who start experiencing unwanted side effects of implantation or device malfunctions.
Yes the pricing is not for locals. Its for tourists that fly in. Lots of people fly in for Disney in Orlando and Miami for beaches or cruises. Now a tourist can hit both cities without flying again or renting a car.
There are a lot more costs to a car besides gas and tolls that add to the cost of that trip. But even besides that, you get to take 3.5 hours of your life back doing things that you can't do while you're driving.
I don't know, honestly all the prosecution showed as evidence were possessions. Proof would be financial records or other documentation that shows a chain of custody of those possessions and money.
Jury is still out. Doesn't look good, however I'd reserve judgement until new things come to light.
Ranked choice voting is what we need at all levels of government. But Republicans will never allow this, especially at the President level because they know it will lead to them never being elected again. And ratification of any possible amendment to the Constitution at this point in our history is so unlikely it’s probably easier to just attempt a coup again and continue the attacks on voting rights.
Perhaps in fifty years, if the US lasts that long.
Easier to track worker productivity (this is actually wrong, is significantly easier to track productivity done remotely, but management has lost out on traditional visual cues for productivity)
These corporations either own the real-estate, so having them empty greatly reduces the value, or are tied into long term leases they can’t get out of.
Mandating a RTO is also an easier way to offload staff without doing layoffs, as many will just leave.
It’s easier for people in positions of upper management to “build work culture” and “team development”
None of this are valid to you, but I imagine this type of thinking makes sense to management
#4 is difficult to quantify, so it's probably the one they feel the strongest about. I also frequently hear from people who prefer working in an office (they exist) that if you need someone, you can just walk over to their desk and ask them for help rather than trying to get a hold of them via IM. In my experience, that person is at lunch or in a conference room somewhere, so you're leaving an IM for them anyway.
I can't see this as anything other than a losing scenario for just... sensibility and maturity in general. Neither DeSantis nor Hannity are serious people, and there's simply no way this debate isn't just chum for the rabid fanatics who enjoy their malevolent circus act.
