  • It’s popular to hate on Dyson but cordless, bagless vacuum is very much a game dominated by them. Others - Samsung, Miele - have great products but I have yet to see a model from them that is truly superior to flagship Dysons. They dominate on suction and battery power.

    Dyson is expensive (overpriced?). The owners is an oligarch brexiteer asshole. The brand is perpetually trending with annoying influencers and I find their vacuums ugly, but … they build very good vacuums.

    Yes. I own a Dyson. A corded one. We’re on our third one and keep buying them because we have never had any issues with them.

    My current one is 4 years old. The one before was 10 by the time we sold it due to international move. The one before we bought 10 years old used before deciding we wanted a new one.







  • Let’s be real. This is unworkable. A fixed “commute” pay sure but

    • the company has no way to know how long it takes to commute each day
    • the company does not choose where you choose to live
    • your distance from office would be a hiring factor - just a mess for discrimination lawsuits.

    I am for the risk of the commute not falling entirely on the employee. But “job pays for commute” always strikes as a silly proposal.






  • I agree. Keeping the sale illegal perpetuates the terribleness of drug gang. But it’s a popular take because it removes state responsibility for regulating recreational use and abuse.

    Also, however, it is possible to find new ways. For example in a Denmark sex work is legal, but profiting off of sex work is not. Which on the surface makes no sense (a sex worker cannot rent a hotel room for example). As a result women run old fashioned brothels that are employee owned coops.

    A partial legalisation could breed some similar non capitalist innovations.
