"The reform does not mandate two rest days per week. [...] create the conditions under which a four-day working week becomes practically achievable for the first time for a significant portion of the Mexican workforce."

Mexico is one of the few countries with only a 1-day weekend, along with:

• Colombia, Bolivia, Equatorial Guinea, Honduras, Hong Kong, North Korea, Pakistan, Philippines, Uganda, and India (Sundays);
• Djibouti (only 40h/w tho), Palestine, Iran, and Somalia (Fridays); and
• Nepal (only 42h/w tho) (Saturdays).

I’ve never felt any better eating 3 meals a day. I did gain weight faster, though.

If you want to lose weight, eat more calories in the morning and less in the evening.

Fast decarbonisation [...] shift away from overconsumption towards “sufficiency”. This would involve a sharp reduction in labour hours and the use of raw materials, along with big changes in consumption patterns, food habits, land use and forest cover.

Green parties (excluding the capitalist German and US Greens) have had this as the priorities on the platforms for decades. But the vast, vast majority of people choose to instead vote for the greedy, short-sighted, sociopathic parties that are instead increasing

• CO2e emissions,
• consumption,
• hours of work for effectively less money,
• factory animal farming and industrial fishing,
• habitat destruction, ...

The boss is the voters who keep choosing to vote for narcissistic sociopathic candidates.

I've only ever voted Green, I've never voted for any omnicidal capitalists.

It's not "propaganda" making more than 90% of people choose leaders who will continue pushing us towards a mass extinction event, more genocides, oligarchy, etc.. It's that almost all voters are as greedy, short-sighted, and sociopathic as the people they keep voting for.

Should we save about 1.4 to 3.7 billion wild birds a year, by ending the pet cat industry?

"The magnetic field is vital to our continued existence. It helps keep the atmosphere we breathe in"

I knew about reducing how much cosmic radiation we receive, but not about protecting the atmosphere:

"Many scientists have argued that the magnetic field is crucial for protecting the atmosphere from erosion by energetic particles coming from the Sun." https://science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-oxygen-magnetic-field-linked/

Also, "the planetary magnetic field has followed similar rising and falling patterns as oxygen in the atmosphere for nearly a half billion years, dating back to the Cambrian explosion, when complex life on Earth emerged."

Tonnes of CO2e, averages:

 1.60 a roundtrip transatlantic flight
 2.40 one year of car use
58.60 one year, per child you have (dwarfing everything combined in the 3rd graphic in the sidebar)

Shown in the most important chart in human history, because human overpopulation is the biggest and root cause for not just catastrophic anthropogenic climate change, but also the biggest and root cause of factory farming, industrial fishing, unsustainable pollution, biosphere degradation, mass extinction, ...

I don't think so. Murder is illegal, while the vast majority of people choose to vote for non-Green parties, to make it legal and to incentivize the Anthropocene mass extinction event.

Do you really expect me to believe the concept of free will has never crossed your mind when asking this question?

Free will is so obviously an illusion to me (since no-one in recorded history has ever been able to magic their way around causality) that I sometimes forget that most people, especially religious people, think they have free will. I should have stated that.

If free will is real for people tho, then God isn't all-knowing or all-powerful, which means it's not God - unless you use a definition of God that extremely few people in the West or Middle-East hold.

If he does a Fetterman, can he be quickly recalled?

I would mind: if you're all-powerful then why create fascists, human traffickers, greedy billionaires, and the majority of people who are making the biosphere uninhabitable for most genera? And why punish them with hell, when you created them that way? That's just sadistic.

I understand wanting a hell for bad people, because most people do extremely evil things:

• voting to be ruled by openly greedy, sociopathic liars (with only about 1-4% of voters choose ethical candidates);
• giving money to factory farmers and fishermen;
• contributing to human overpopulation;
• etc.;

but I still prefer honesty and saying there's absolutely no evidence that a biblical hell is real.
