This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Near as I can tell by ravenium
A few of my friends received text alerts from their workplace safety group stating today might be a "disruption". If it's anything like last time, they had all of 3 people at the corporate drive entrance (RA1) that no employee enters (they all go into the parking garage 'round the back).
The thinking on this is somewhat scattered, but I think they're keying off Intel's financial announcement to expand Fab 28 this year and next. Take that fact plus a bunch of terminally online people with nothing better to do and you generally get this.
I tend to be pretty sympathetic to human suffering everywhere, but I detest that I am being pushed to pick a "side". Bleh.
