@dalias @ATLeagle @davidzipper It's defined by both, but even if it weren't, a driver can be (and frequently is) a victim of actions by another driver.

That said, I have nearly gotten into a couple accidents thanks to these larger blind spots, and I would certainly like something to be done about them.

Yeah, I know it’s LinkedIn—sorry.

tl;dr Is that the high tech layoffs in the past few years have been largely driven by changes to the US tax code. These jobs may never be coming back. Prepare for an extended period of unemployment uncertainty.

Tax and Consequences

Every day brings news of more layoffs in the tech sector. Every day I see good people in my timeline struggling to find a new job, struggling to keep a roof over their head and food on the table, struggling with their mental health and sense of self worth.

Something I'm learning in my adventures in Linux is that it's vital to have a second, working computer with you in order to search for ways to fix the thing you've just massively broken.
