This is a great point. In tandem I will often hear, unionize your workplace! Well what if it is then what? Neoliberal unions aren't exactly utopian. Then someone says, well help organize other workplaces. Well been there too and I have to ask. To what end?

First you should ask why one is vegan? There are different reasons someone might be vegan that will inform you better really. Is using an ox to plow a field vegan? If you're looking at it from a labor perspective than it is not vegan as you're breeding worms to make compost.

Another perspective is by providing a luxurious environment for the worms you are improving quality of life. Purchasing worms bred explicitly for this purpose could be a conflict. I think about animal sanctuaries, are those vegan?

Why would an employer call ICE that has knowingly hired illegal workers? It's like admitting they're defrauding the federal govt's E-verify.

I know some Karen, nice enough people. Refugees welcome in our community.

Just throwing this out there. Familiar with the industry, the companies are really hurting on the labor side. So workers being rushed, working 7days a week, morale is low. Quite ripe for an industry wide strike. And you know your typical blue-blooded american't needs their porkchops.

Does the glib lib response really mean anything? I keep seeing this narrative of Ted Cruz bad see I told ya so! And the one about privatization of power in Tejas bad. Listen here, CHAMP, this shit doesn't matter. Like no shit, anyone that doesn't huff paint realizes how infantile these people elected are.

I dont like the man really but it seems like more orange man bad hot takes. The utilities don't have winterized instrumentation that far south or the infrastructure for cold, r-value 3 down to a 1 in houses prob. I have no doubt corners were cut with the utilities to inflate shareholder value but sometimes shit just happens. This is a rupture in capitalism that demonstrates just-in-time/always onTM just ain't sustainable. How is everyone supposed to have electric cars? It's like trains and mass transit are the devil.

Can confirm, this checks out in my Midwestern city. Only difference is the city police not private.

Moral relativism comes to mind. An issue I see with any meta-objectivity is how to get an objective perspective? As humans, animals, whatever, we are constrained by our limitations, what we are is the container and it seems mightily difficult to see outside this. Whatever you can grasp as the contained thing is subjected, ironically, to a subjectivity. To do away with these limitations you wouldn’t really be that limited thing anymore but perhaps a cosmic gaseous cloud.

Never store your food in an opened tin for prolonged periods. Transfer to whatever ya got.

Yes 100%. What a great discovery. Omnivorous myself but picked up on it from vegan comrades. I recommend it all the time.

Not really a misdirection on part of the federal government at least. The labor dept has always maintained different unemployment metrics. The corporate media will typically only report U-1 or U-2 which is a lot rosier picture but really there are 6 different unemployment rates. So when someone says unemployment rate, your question should be which one?

If its about speed and convenience dont really need one then. I just pop food in the oven, set a timer and go do something else. Don't need it RIGHT THIS MOMENT otherwise just go to the Bodega or fast food.

Never had a microwave. Is it better?

Interesting, used KDE way back. I'm kinda hooked on GNOME 3 now.

Are we gonna talk about how the genus of pig here is literally Sus??

This is good and important. Thank you.

Agree 100% Watch this movie. It is campy, gorey fun.

Boil 'em thoroughly first.

In a way sure. Chinese plants may ignore US patents. Some of this narrative is just nationalist posturing for sure The Chinese building mentality is historically based in quantity. You got a fuck ton of people to feed, so you just produce, maybe epigenetic memories of famine.

This mentality can be reflected in tall buildings that are crumbling years after being built, cheap materials and just built blazing fast. Recent examples are the popup Covid hospitals.. sure they built a hospital but it won't last that long. Not to say this doesn't happen in the US, of course it does, but to a lesser degree.

Chinese manufacturing is trying hard to pivot to more technical and higher quality goods. This can be seen in the acquisitions in German companies and some US plants. Some see this as simply a move to acquire the IP themselves so it can be reverse engineered.. the reputation for Chinese quality will take some time, they are just monsters of output.

The whole question of innovation? Maybe in some ways not as innovative as western countries. I mean think about it, if something works just make that. No need to reinvent the wheel. Chinese manufacturing is really good at applying foreign techniques and integrating.
