I dunno, Uber and Lyft look to me like two companies stealing each others' business plans, something that happens in every industry when one company starts gaining an advantage over the others
In their case, I'd argue the lack of consumer protection is what you are calling uncoordinated collusion

Isn't collusion specifically defined as coordination between varied interests? How do you get collusion without it?

Abysmal messaging. First, politicians address sports-related issues all the time. Second, trans people in sports has *already been handled* by leagues and communities. Every major sports body has criteria for trans athletes! Most communities do not give a shit. The problem is bigots ignoring that.

Bob Weir quoted in Rolling Stone magazine:
"I was describing how I envisioned the song, and [long-term Dead sound engineer Dan Healy] and Hassinger were hassling over something," Bob Weir said in Oliver Trager's 1997 guide The American Book of the Dead. "I announced, 'Right here I want the sound of thick air. I couldn't describe it back then, because I didn't know what I was talking about.
Bob Weir, is that you?

weird that it's not your name at the top of the original post that brought me here. liberals need to lie to maintain their self image, though. I get it.

but you just admitted that leftist votes would not have mattered after claiming that not having leftist votes lost the election
go crawl back to whatever bridge it is you live under

so why are you here if having those votes wouldn't have mattered?
You just want to yell at people online for your own smug sense of superiority?

I gotta think any cops in Chicago are on the "same team" as whatever cops show up in their jurisdiction. Chicago's cops will probably give them a red carpet tour of the city's current black site torture facilities

I used to interact with a lot of bike messengers, and every woman who worked as one had legs covered in tattoos. I joked with them it was a sign of their job, but your explanation makes a lot more sense, in retrospect....

a good sign that I will forever be a casual fan of some online thing like a podcast or whatever, is if anyone involved in its production says something like "join our discord server!"

Most Americans are clueless to the level of Trump corruption because most of the press isn't interested. Dems need simple, frightening, brutally repetitive messaging on the basics of that corruption; they don't need to wade into niche oversight problems related to lazy MVNO rebranding deals.

My favorite Elton John story was when Harley Davidson booked "a surprise mystery guest" to headline their 100th anniversary concert. They announced Elton John as the surprise guest, and 1000s of bikers started leaving town in droves
