require labeling of risks and allow individuals to choose for themselves

California already does that

How tf is a muslim school a blatant violation of christian religious freedom? It's a violation of their ability to be bigots

The "constitutional principle of religious freedom" says there shall be no official state religion. So...when the state funds something religious, what does that sound like to them

I'm pretty sure I saw this on Lemmy not long ago: https://www.commonwealthfund.org/blog/2022/americans-no-matter-state-they-live-die-younger-people-many-other-countries

But life expectancy isn't the only measure of quality of life and life expectancy can be measured in different ways, especially in a nation with 50 very different states. The most accurate comparison would be to other post industrial western nations.

So sick if seeing these articles framing "millennials/gen z killed xyz" as a preference or a want.

Remember when we killed the diamond wedding ring industry? We can't pay our rent ffs.

I have the same problem with mine. It literally never recognizes the printer wirelessly unless I turn it off and on, unplug, push the wifi button, and cancel and restart the print at least a few times.

I also found out that I'm being charged by the number of pages I print. When I signed up, I was under the impression that I would be charged for the printer ink. Apparently it's $4/month for 20 pages or some shit like that and then $1 per every ten pages after that? How the fuck can they charge per page? Aren't the ink cartridges what run out and need to be repurchased? But even though I get charged every month automatically, whether I use the pages or not, I don't get sent new ink until I request it. Or buy it? And I magically lost some discount I was supposed to get after purchasing through Amazon.

The whole thing has been a shit show. Plus the printer itself is the flimsiest piece of thin plastic that weighs nothing. I hope the FTC sues the shit out of them.

Because if we try to change anything, we run the (very high) risk of losing our jobs, then our homes, and ending up on the streets. If you have a way to get over 300 million people all on the same page for a general strike, who are all willing to risk losing their income, please let me know.

This is all relatively well understood within urban planning and traffic engineering.

I feel like someone neglected to tell this to every American urban planner then

I think this whole post sounds astroturfed by people pushing the idea that workers being denied jobs is a good thing. At least I hope it is, because otherwise that means people actually believe that.

Let's face it, the only reason we get by is because rich people need our labor.

[–] ZzyzxRoad 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

we need those workers to be out of jobs and on the streets

I'm guessing you'll be the first to volunteer then? For the greater good and all.
