This is a step towards humanizing workers, legitimizing their concerns, and building solidarity so people are closer to being on the same page and might maybe agree that something needs to be done. Probably not from this cultural moment, but if enough of them like this happen in succession and get enough attention, then something could change. If you want to discuss parallel economies and mutual aid networks, that's a whole other discussion.
Oh that's right, Chernobyl! There were staggered end dates to the sale of leaded gas though, so the years will vary more or less by continent. Nevertheless, your point remains valid even if the lead pollution was at its peak in the 1970s.
I've also been concerned about negative outcomes for people based on the videos I've heard about and the one I saw posted before, but that's what makes them so brave. The more they do it and the more such videos are normalized, the less harsh companies can be in retaliation.
Management being assholes is not as much a generational thing (at least, not as much as it seems) as the nature of what corporations expect of managers. The few amazing managers who somehow remain human while doing their job, who are good mentors, etc., are outliers.
I knew about the lead for Gen X. Are you talking about both Millennials and Gen Z not having been poisoned in their developmental years or are you referring to Boomers (and older), some of whom were irradiated and/or got hit by smog, etc. It sounds like you're saying something also happened to Millennials otherwise, and I never heard about this.
Fair point. While I could argue they're also voting for a dwindling consumer base, I realize the incentives that likely drive them the most are heavily weighted toward the short term.
At least as often as "advise" in place of "advice," I see people asking for "advices."
(I haven't seen issues with "chest of drawers" or even "drawers" though.)
Rich people aren't automatically smarter than poor people. Both groups are misinformed, likely in large part due to circumstances they were born into.
Interesting point. This is consistent with a "Corporate Feudalism" chart I saw recently (and am still digesting/making up my mind on), which puts central bank heads, and then major bank heads at the top two places in the power hierarchy. Corporate CEOs (who might see benefit from a more educated work force) are in 3rd place. World leaders are 4th.
Also, he should reinstate funding for UNRWA and stop aiding the IDF effort to starve everyone in Gaza (*also applicable here in Canada and several other countries). Even if the Israeli allegation that UNRWA staffers are all Hamas-affiliated was true, we're talking about fucking food, medication, and survival essentials for 95% of the world's most starved people (up from 80% as of recently).
W = win
L = loss
To be fair, the pope condemned Israel's actions in Gaza as well. Fundamentalist evangelical Christian Zionists have more financial and media power than others though, I imagine, and many others are just plain silent.
