Nuclear Fusion has been 20 years away for 70 years.
I was hopeful for a bit, then I saw some stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JurplDfPi3U and realized nothing has changed. It's the same old shit: reporters being willfully ignorant, business people misleading the public, and on and on. Wake me up when you have plans for a full-scale, fully-functional fusion plant that can actually be built in an economically feasible way. Until then, I don't care.
This feels like a leftist propaganda article. There are thousands of jobs that none of us can imagine doing because we don't understand what it actually takes.
Looking at it, driving a school bus does not seem to be any harder than driving any other bus, or truck. Does not seem to be harder than cutting up chicken, doing roadwork, cleaning a chimney, baking bread. What is with trying to paint school bus driving as some special kind of hardship.
If anything it seems easier and more pleasing than the other jobs I mentioned.
You get a ton of time off, all school breaks and summers, and you only have to work for a specific few hours a day. You get a sense of satisfaction getting kids to school and home, you get to see people, talk to some. There is direct feedback and shows you the value of your work. Why does it matter how many tons the bus is? You don't need to lift that.
If you want to make some part time money, driving a school bus seems a lot more fun and more entertaining than a lot of other jobs.
If there is a bus driver shortage then that is because the people that used to drive the school bus (retired and part time workers) don't want to do it anymore. But reasons are not explored or explained at all. Hence we learn nothing of the real reasons that we have a school bus shortage.
In my opinion drivers are afraid of catching COVID from the kids, so it is not a problem that raising the pay would address.
I'm all for decrying leftist propaganda, but if you think driving a massive vehicle while a bunch of screaming kids get up to god-knowns-what behind you is "fun and entertaining" you probably need your head examined.
> See tire pressure monitoring for example.
I am not sure I understand what you are saying. I appreciate knowing when my tire pressure is low.
I don't appreciate being forced to pay for a feature I don't need. The modern car is FULL of such features, and it's caused the price to skyrocket. The median price for a new car in 1968, adjusted for inflation, was roughly $25,000. Pre-Covid, the median price was something like $36,000. All while wages stagnate or fall accounting for inflation. Stop driving up the price with all this stupid unnecessary crap!
I had always assumed that id Software under ZeniMax is a completely different company, different people, different tech stack, different ethics. But as an outsider of course I don't know how much of this is true.
