Important to note that this is a workaround. Solidarity strikes (which normally include general strikes) are illegal, but there's no law that prevents every union from happening to strike on their own behalf at the same time.

American unions are kneecapped by the government. The 1947 Taft-Hartley Act made solidarity strikes (and several other forms of labor protest) illegal. It also opened the door for states to enact "right-to-work" laws.
This law is still standing in part because US courts have been anti-labor for their entire existence, aside from a brief period during FDR's administration.

That 25.6 GB/s memory bandwidth is apparently the Switch’s bottleneck.
Pikmin 4 is built on Unreal Engine, so it’s already something of a unicorn in Nintendo’s library.
But those unions are negotiating against employers who have immense market power. State governments essentially have the last word on teachers' salaries, and a lot of the country has consolidated to the point where there are only 1-3 major hospital networks in any area.
Without the ability to switch employers for better pay, the unions are the only way that those professions have to improve their pay and working conditions. (This may explain why travel nurses get much better pay than most nurses.)
I don’t think the drive actually failed. The article said that the files disappeared from the drive one-by-one, which sounds like a firmware bug to me.
You could theoretically have the same problem due to a buggy RAID controller or driver.
The idea has definitely come up that there’s an association between the “globalist” pejorative and anti-Semitism (globalism -> conspiracy that secretly controls the world -> Jewish conspiracy), but it’s not as cut and dry as I thought.
Not sure how I forgot Stardew. I also have two copies.
Nintendo’s exclusives are where the Switch really shines. Unfortunately, they’re expensive. I’ll echo the DekuDeals recommendation for finding sales.
Other Nintendo titles that are worthwhile, aside from the obvious Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom and depending on your tastes:
- Super Mario Odyssey
- Mario Kart 8
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
- Animal Crossing New Horizons
- Splatoon 3 (2 is good too, but 3 is an improvement and more active)
- Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
- Pikmin (the whole series)
- Metroid Dread
- Metroid Prime Remastered
- Fire Emblem Three Houses
- Pokemon Legends Arceus
There are also tons of great indie games that play well on Switch (especially handheld):
- Hades
- Dead Cells
- Hollow Knight
- Slay the Spire
- Into the Breach
- Shovel Knight
Firstly, the term “globalists” is an anti-Semitic dogwhistle. Beyond that usage, it’s meaningless.
Secondly, YouTube is riddled with disinformation. This is primarily due to the algorithm which drives receptive users to extremist videos (and skeptical users who might refute those videos away from them). It’s also because it’s a lot more difficult to fact-check spoken language than written language.

Seems like there are a number of issues with this.
Not defining "reliability challenge" in a meaningful way. (How many of these are problems that are expensive or time-consuming to repair? How expensive and how time-consuming? Are these problems that prevent the car from driving safely, or are they inconveniences that can be put off?)
Not controlling for manufacturer. (Toyota has long-been regarded as a reliable manufacturer, but they make 2 plug-in hybrids and 1 EV, all of which are new this year. Meanwhile, they offer about a dozen different traditional hybrids. I can believe that the Tesla Model 3 is less reliable than the Toyota Camry, but is a full-electric Hyundai Ioniq less reliable than a Hyundai Sonata?)
Including plug-in hybrids and full electric vehicles as one category. (Plug-in hybrids combine the old breakable parts such as transmissions with the new breakable parts such as lithium batteries. This is the trade-off that buyers make to get the efficiency of an electric vehicle at short ranges and the convenience of an ICE at long ranges.)
