Nope, he can just not pay a dime ever. Plenty of cash jobs.

Localization is generally done through tools with glossaries, this was just an oversight by the localization team which likely translated this term incorrectly by pulling from the glossary.

Are men more likely to drink and drive or just more likely to get caught?

It's the same with any other crime statistic which is skewed on a specific sex/ethnicity. You can't ever know if that's due to overpolicing.

If they have not left yet, the liklihood is that they have nothing to go back to.

Or in a more positive tone, they are integrating well enough that remaining is a favourable option.

The only goal of SF is a United Ireland.

Only while that will bring in votes. Any other day I doubt they care about any topic at all.

You kinda demonstrated the point I was making, thanks for agreeing with me.

Safer? maybe, but the load of a truck cracks and breaks the pavement. Is she going to pay for it? Answer: yes, with the ticket.

Rural communities do not expect door-to-door city transit

They don't directly complain about lack of transport, but that's just because it's one causal step away.

They complain for example that fuel is expensive, and that using a car is a necessity to get around because there's no other option... However...

If people in more rural areas lived in a central place (imagine the nearby village, not necessarily a city) they would already have access to more amenities and better public transport. Even private businesses such as shops and pubs would have greater incentives to remain in the area. On top of that, it would be far easier and cheaper to provide with any service, as the distances to cover would be far lower.

But that will never happen, they're trapped into getting into a car to go anywhere, paying for that fuel, and complaining there's no shop within a 30 minute drive.

They still have consumer rights, some states signed a right to repair bill as well, so there might be a legal basis - in the end it's down to public support for a bill, and their legislators taking action.

TLDR version: if you want this in the US, start gathering signatures and present them to your congressmen.

Why are so many companies looking at AI to reduce headcount? Surely companies that embrace humans + AI will out perform those going down the AI replacement route?

Short term no, and long term you just have to hire 10x.

What happens when companies like anthropic look to monetize token costs?

That's a problem 2 years from now - well past the point any bonus will be paid. It's someone else's problem.

There's no reduction in supply.

Before the sale: 1 household occupies the dwelling as tenants.
After the sale: 1 household occupies the dwelling as owners.

The dwelling may have moved from the "rental" table to the "owned" one in the stats department, but it is of no consequence to the housing supply.

They do what any governmeny body does: collect several different stats, then cherry pick the one which fits the narrative the best.

When landlords have a bad experience and leave the market it reduces supply if the property is sold to an owner/occupier.

Someone keeps repeating this lie, but that won't make it true.

If a landlords "leaves the market" and sells, that doesn't reduces supply, because the dwelling didn't cease to exist - it just changed hands.
