  • spongebue , (edited ) in SkyWest Airlines facing federal lawsuit over alleged ‘fake company union’

    I worked for SkyWest over 10 years ago as a ground worker. I can’t even remember what they called their fake union (wouldn’t have been SkyWest Inflight Association) but yeah. We also had some “you don’t need a union, they’re bad” propaganda as part of our training.

    Honestly, it was a pretty fun job as a college student but some of that stuff made me feel a little dirty

    Edit: memory remembered SAFA, and Google says that stands for SkyWest Airlines Frontline Association. In hindsight, yeah, pretty bad.

    KillingTimeItself , in Scientology is on the brink of killing an entire medical industry

    so uh, why do they want this industry dead?

    A scifi author said it was bad

    KillingTimeItself ,

    that seems too simple for Scientology, they only do things if it makes them money, im pretty sure.

    Snowclone ,

    That’s their money making model, target people who need mental Healthcare, tell them it’s not a mental health problem, it’s a spiritual problem, and they need to pay and participate in their religion and avoid mental Healthcare.

    KillingTimeItself ,

    ah a classic, just lie to people. I forgot about that one.

    frezik ,

    It was Hubbard’s favorite target. In all honestly, the treatment was pretty horrible and used indiscriminately in the past. It’s now used in much more focused and responsible ways when nothing else works.

    KillingTimeItself ,

    so technically (historically) electro shock therapy has been used more akin to Pavlovian training. where as ECT is more along the lines of helping develop muscle mass or the ability to use them more effectively/efficiently as you can externally actuate them that way.

    From what i understand, it’s really commonly used in physical therapy to help with that general line of work.

    NutWrench , in SpaceX accused of dumping mercury into Texas waters for years
    @NutWrench@lemmy.ml avatar

    And you just know Texas lawmakers were fine with this because the right people got paid off to look the other way by Musk.

    The dangers of mercury poisoning are well understood. We’re talking about insanity, paralysis and death. Nobody can pull a, “we had no idea” excuse. Google “Minimata Japan disaster” if you want to know what happens when a corporation poisons people with mercury for nearly 40 years.

    HowMany ,

    This and dropping infants head first onto tiled floors.

    KillingTimeItself ,

    i thought that was how they cracked the tiles for aesthetic purposes.

    Chakravanti ,

    No, that was just how they hit the crack.

    KillingTimeItself ,

    oh, that’s what they mean when they say crack.

    SeaJ , in What a "no taxes on tips" policy could mean for U.S. tipping culture

    No. Income is income. I also don’t want to encourage businesses to have their employees really on tips.

    Shouldn’t be taxed in income either

    mozz OP , in Columbia University president resigns after Gaza protests turmoil
    @mozz@mbin.grits.dev avatar

    In an email to students and faculty on Wednesday, Ms Shafik wrote that she has overseen a "period of turmoil where it has been difficult to overcome divergent views across our community".

    Yeah that's the most essential part of running a university, is you gotta overcome any divergent views

    "This period has taken a considerable toll on my family, as it has for others in our community."

    Imagine if they were in pieces, in a rubble strewn ditch somewhere. Or buried under a bunch of concrete. But yeah having your decisions criticized must be tough too.

    “It has been distressing - for the community, for me as president and on a personal level - to find myself, colleagues, and students the subject of threats and abuse.”

    Yeah I mean imagine if the police came up and tackled and pepper sprayed you

    That would certainly be distressing if that had happened

    Lady: NONE OF THIS IS ABOUT YOU. It wasn't back when it was happening, and it still isn't, now.
