@chu -- And where and which industry?
Unions have been the leader in equal pay regardless of race and gender in a lot of places.
As a federal employee, the union was extremely useful. As a grocery store worker, the union was absolutely useless.
@goatsarah You are 100% correct about the issue of dead battery weight, hydrogen tanks have the same problem to a lesser extent, but lack the flexibility batteries have in form factor-you can wedge those bastards in all sorts of convenient places.
As for gliding? Well, most powered aircraft, particularly all jets that I know of, are *terrible* gliders. The aerodynamic rules that make them efficient at high speed also dictate that they float like rocks, so that's not a major consideration. 2/2
@pkboi I mean, the whole thing about race is that it’s a social construct and the boundaries of what constitutes it are set according to the underlying social structure of each society.
But Americans literally can’t comprehend, despite their last 150 years of history shaping it utterly profoundly, that other places draw lines in different places.
As far as they seem to be concerned, there are “white people” and “PoC”, and that’s it.
The mental gymnastics they then perform to contextualise things like the Northern Ireland situation, racial discrimination against travellers and Roma, the literal Holocaust, and shoehorn them into their specific narrative are something to behold.
