  • Ok real talk here.

    Work to rule and malicious compliance only works when you have the backing of a strong union, or workers rights. In the US, for most jobs, they can fire you whenever they feel like it, and for no reason at all.

    If anyone senior decides you’re fucking with them, even if there’s no proof, and they’re completely running on vibes, they might just fire you anyway.

    My advice is copy the other porters. They know how much they can get away with, and find a decent hiding place for when you’re on a break.










  • Yeah, there’s two problems with this.

    1. Congress is non-functional and can’t act as a check on the executive branch or the courts. In the past they’ve passed fuck you laws where they initially passed a law saying X, the supreme court interpreted it to say Y and then they passed a clearer version of X. This hasn’t happened in a long time.
    2. The supreme court likes to reinterpret the constitution. This means if you want to correct the supreme courts interpretation you have to pass a constitutional amendment. Even if Congress functioned properly this would be difficult.

    The idea we’re talking about wouldn’t work anyway. The problem is, many of the state supreme court judges are also batshit.

    The only way round this is to copy other countries that have functional judicial systems and stop making judges either political appointments or directly elected. They need to be professionals selected on merit, and firable, or at least replaceable after a term, if they’re incompetent.








  • If the data is present but difficult to restore, it’s annoying. You might need to spend a few days fixing stuff.

    If the data is gone, it’s devastating and can bankrupt a company. On a personal level it’s the same as having all your photos destroyed in a fire. And backups not containing the right data are very common.
