>we have a millenial
Why in the world does this matter
>she was granted 6 months maternity leave at full pay
Good, people have kids and financial support for them during a relatively short period of the child's life is great.
>right before she was due to come back she sent a note to her direct superior essentially saying she wouldn't come back if she wasn't paid more money.
Also good, it's important to know your worth and get paid it. If she asks for more than what they'll pay her than that's that and it won't happen, otherwise there's only benefits in asking.
>unlike the rest of us - fully remote due to some bullshit note from her doctor
Seems like a problem with your workplace demanding you go in more than a fault of hers.

Oh are we talking about guns now? Feels like an odd jump to make considering all the obvious differences between a rental truck and a gun, might make for a bad comparison. I was just noting that there are in fact steps that put control on who can use these rental trucks, since of course it's important to have safety mechanisms in place to make sure we reduce chances of people getting hurt.

Considering you need a driver's license to rent these trucks there already is one.

Nobody is obligated to work any job, that is slavery. Philosophical debate over.

A lot of libraries have discounted tickets that can be reserved which makes the experience a bit cheaper. I think I got half off ticket through mine.

2.89 in mass is low I’ve seen things closer to 3.20-3.40 around the state.

It's very expensive, isn't broadly or powerfully effective, and regularly causes severe enough side effects people on it will require regular(also expensive) testing to ensure they don't die from them.

Economies of scale is a pretty basic phrase in business/engineering. It essentially means as you get bigger things can be made more efficient. It’s why we have centralized power plants instead of a personal gas generator in everyone’s home as our main method of electric generation, it’s just more efficient energy wise to have one big plant.

It’s cleaner but still worse than electric. Here is an article with explained rational that shows that electric buses using current grid electricity are cleaner than diesel.
