He followed Glenn Greenwald down the "I feel like people don't respect my leftism enough, so I'm gonna join the alt-right" path

As I literally sit here in the cafeteria on my day off rallying for our upcoming union vote 💪

"We need to see pain in the economy"

"There's been a systematic change where employees feel the employer is extremely lucky to have them"

"claimed that shift is hitting productivity in the sector"

This attitude is an actual mental illness. Productivity is killing us, killing our climate. What we need is LESS PRODUCTIVITY and more leisure, more time to care for one another, focus on food production, distribution, healthcare, and education, things that involve taking care of other humans. Why should everyone everywhere forever have to live on the razor's edge of their ability to keep up with life?

"Women are specifically stating that the direct reason they're choosing to delay pregnancy is the fall of Roe creating emergency health concerns."

"I dunno, are you sure you can believe what women say? Did you check the "real" data?"

The pandemic IS over. Covid has become an endemic virus just like we always expected it to.

You ever try to draw from a syringe while you're hypotensive, gasping for breath, and panicking as you're about to pass out? That's the primary innovation of the epi-pen. Remove cap, stab through clothes, press button.

Granted, syringe and vial would be better than not having epinephrine though.

I'm a nepo buyer ✋

My American Boomer parents view helping my sister and I out with things like this as a legal early inheritance transfer to make up for how long we expect their lives to go on. In that way, this isn't really different from being able to buy things because you received an actual inheritance after your parents died.

The problem isn't the people who are able to do this. The problem is that other people for generations have been systematically robbed from also being able to do this. We should have government programs to provide this service for those people to make up for that generational theft.

Also: Jesus, Canada, build some fucking housing what the fuck. I knew it was bad, but I assumed it was on par with the US.

Of course it's a black girl

I (a middle-aged white woman) have dyed my hair black, red, blond for decades and not even one single time has anyone suggested that those aren't "natural colors" even though they were obviously not MY natural brown hair color.

Historically, these investigations have been handled by the higher-ups in the chain of command. Say one soldier raped another and the victim reported it. Their mutual boss and that boss's bosses would be responsible for any investigation and discipline.

They have the same negative incentive to provide thorough investigation and justice as college campus police do - because in the end it makes them look bad at their jobs and makes the institution that signs their paychecks look bad. So they just don't. Often victims are ignored or worse, disciplined themselves.

This change will provide a third party not involved in the chain of command for reporting and investigation of sexual assault allegations.

Oh, so NOW the feds have a problem with secret corporate ownership.

Maybe let's do something to limit the onshore tax havens in Delaware, Wyoming, Nevada....

It's different for doctors and nurses. We have moral and legal obligations to our patients. Giving an end date is often the first attempt. Indefinite strike is always an option that can be deployed later, if necessary.

Plus we're always in a precarious situation with the public. It's easy for a doctor's strike to lose public support, which results in things like strike breaking laws being passed.

There are different ways of striking that can be effective.

No, no there are literally tankies. Lemmy.ml the ml means marxist-leninist and lemmygrad.ml is just straight up tankie CCP apologists
