Fait enough. An online poll of that size is just too small for me. Any influencer can several times that in an hour.

The statistics says 1200 is perfectly fine for a population size of 27M.

I agree. It’s proving it that’s not easy, especially if a team is becoming less needed and shrinking anyway.

Some of what I’m saying is the expression of parts of the system, not that every part of it “avoids taxes” we are talking about 501c3s as a whole. The avoiding taxes is from a part of the discussion where instead of my dying and leaving you a company which is at risk of the estate tax, I can create an entity which I give you control over and it avoids the tax, because it’s not longer inheritance it’s just transferring control of the create entity.
The IRS says you can be reasonably compensated, but again this isn’t the point or the issue, because what billionaire is “reasonably compensated” because Jeff Bezos is paid 88,840 but is that the limits of his worth? If salary is the end all be all then I’m absolutely wrong, but if you’re a major shareholder of a company, and you donate money as a write off to a company that then spends that money on increasing the value of your asset, raising the value of the charitable work they do on the books and they transfer that into stronger lobbying ties then you’re still using a nonprofit in a legal way that is still in your own interest.
That’s the problem, not billionaire bad, not system broken I now cry, but nonprofits have almost no real oversight and there are plenty which operate as if they are for profit organizations.
This is just about the fact that there is a real system in which nonprofits can be useful for enriching yourself

Yeah. Let's just sit here and praise the billionaire Elon. Fuck the workers and their workers rights.

There are 27 million people in Texas. We don't even know if the people in the poll told the truth, were in Texas, or weren't simply bots.
1,200 is fine for opinion on your favorite pizza or sushi. It is just noise when it comes to opinions on energy in Texas.
Heck, most people in Houston aren't even from Texas, and many are not even from the US.

It's illegal in the United States to fire someone for union organizing. It's called retaliation and it's a serious violation of labor laws.

I mean, I would agree that our brains are meat computers using a very complex neural net to interact with our environment.
That said, I wouldn't compare chatGPT output to human emotion, no.

A sample size of 1200 is plenty large enough to hit a high level of confidence.

Their governor will find a way to ban it or restrict it or make it expensive or whatever - that's what is going to happen. Keep voting for those Republican assholes and see what happens to Texans going solar

Tesla isn't dumb. I'm sure their HR consulted their lawyers and evaluated the risk.
But I'm positive that benefits of the chilling effect sacking a few pro-union employees had were far greater than whatever pittance they would pay to the NLRB and those employees were to Tesla.
Think of how expensive a union drive would be to a company that's already plummeting in value. I don't think the NLRB can just step in and shut down a company either.
