The solutions here don’t seem to really be solutions in my opinion, especially the third one. It’s like if the problem a patent solves was “being able to individually package sandwiches on a conveyor belt” and the solution was “have a machine that recognizes where one sandwich ends and another begins so it can stop and start packaging appropriately.” Like, no kidding, but how?

Check out their controversies section on Wikipedia. This doesn’t seem out of character for this publication. It’s more likely incompetence than malice.

As someone who’s consumed every album and special George Carlin produced, it felt like someone retelling their memory of some of his bits. Like regurgitation. It’d be impressive if your nephew performed this at his thirteenth birthday party after becoming obsessed with Carlin.

Vegas already has a poorly implemented monorail.

I think it depends on your industry and specialty. In my line of work my coworkers are all over the world and can’t really be centralized. There may be clusters in different regions, but it’s hard to justify (in my opinion) coming into the office to see two colleagues you may not even need to talk to that week. It is especially more difficult when meetings are regularly outside of normal work hours.

My company is still trying to force people back in where there are clusters, but I feel like they’re spending more on bullshit events to make it seem like it’s worth it than they could possibly gain in productivity. It really feels like a bunch of people trying to justify their jobs than anything else.
