I don’t even understand thatm that’s hurting their own production. Do they think you can work effectively after a fucking heatstroke? This is ridiculous.
It’s got nothing to do with productivity. The worse the working conditions, the less mental and physical energy workers have to spend on organizing. Maintaining effective power and control over the serfs is the only thing more important to businesses than short term profits.
It’s much less nefarious than that for most places.
Air conditioning (heating and cooling) is another expense they’d rather not have. Business will never offer to pay more than they have to, it’s antithetical to their existence. It’s what’s happening at my job right now.
Not defending it at all, see my other comment in here explaining how I suffer from it too, just helping explain at least one reason why businesses choose to not care.
I feel like we should say it every time a mother is shot by her neighbor, or a regular commuter is shot by a police officer because he owns a gun, in the most prolific gun toting country on Earth. I feel like we should say it every time a man is killed on video by police, or a classroom of kids is gunned down and we continue to act as if the ONE thing we need to start doing absolutely cannot be done because it “impedes” the rights of those who do not live on the other end of that spectrum. It should never and will never lose its impact because people are straight up over this bullshit. It may lose its impact to the run of the mill armchair warrior, but that’s it, and I’m ok with that.
Edit: I’m sorry that I sound so bitchy JJROKCZ, I just got off shift with a trauma red in the bay, shot in the throat ffs. I appreciate your opinion and I’m glad we can have these conversations.
I agree guns are too accessible in America but we’ll never get rid of them as it is the second amendment to our constitution. I’m just saying that unfortunately battles must be picked otherwise those pushing for reform are just called hysterical fanatics and will be ignored by the masses
The US is a country that says “citizens can own guns” and also says “cops can shoot citizens if they think they have a gun” so the saying applying to a majority of situations where a citizen dies to a gun is pretty fucking accurate.
last time I was on a delta flight they unbelievably had those thick, heavy, foodservice style coffee cups. in a perfect world this wouldn’t have happened, but in a just-slightly-better-than-ours world, this dumb fuck spent most of those 9 hours doctoring a concussion.
Makes me wonder how many others there are that don’t have an illegal hose attached to the outside.
There should be random unannounced business inspections. Even when shit isn’t as shady as this, when I worked in an ice cream factory, they knew when health inspections were coming and went into high cleaning mode immediately before. While I don’t think they would have failed if they didn’t do that, it’s not very useful to do inspections only after a business does a deep clean, so there’s no way to know.
So random inspections that aren’t announced until the inspector is at the gate, plus offer nice rewards for people reporting a PA announcement to do some quick cleaning (or say the company has to hand over video footage for the hour before up to the hour after).
You have no idea what you’re talking about. What they found is very typical of biotech R&D. You clearly have no experience in diagnostic/R&D biotech. please stop spreading outright lies.
In your extensive experience, how common are unlicensed biotech R&D facilities being run in secret? And I see no reason being capable of biotech R&D would preclude it from being capable of more malicious purposes. If anything, I'd assume a significant amount of overlap between the two capabilities.
" So I did a bit of digging, and it’s unlikely this is a foreign agent.
It looks like Prestige Biotech was a creditor for and acquired the assets of Universal Meditech when the company collapsed. Prestige was storing what was left of Universal in this warehouse.
Universal Meditech was selling SARS test kits that got recalled in February of last year, which likely led to their bankruptcy. My guess is that Prestige didn’t have the available funding to properly dispose of the biohazards or care for the test subjects, ended up with a bunch of infectious mice that they couldn’t get rid of legally, and just decided to warehouse them in Fresno until they came up with a solution.
I don't see how it's cheaper to maintain an entire facility and staff just to take care of unwanted items, but I concede it's a possibility, bureaucracy and inertia being what it is.
This is a very typical shit ass response. We’ve had great success in having permanent and semi permanent living spaces in existing neighborhoods. Even the NIMBY assholes like yourself who initially sued to prevent it have changed their tune. There also has been no increase in crime with these either.
Maybe take a minute and consider what you would want if you were homeless. In the US you are much closer to being homeless than you think.
I literally lived two block away from one of the Denver safe outdoor spaces. So you have no idea at all, and I actually know. You’re not from here, you have no experience with the homeless situation in Denver or the many things we are trying as a community to fix it. You are just talking out of your ass.
I’m sorry you’re blighted by those with less than you, seems to be a big issue for you. If only we could lock all the poors away to make you feel better.
Two blocks away, oh poor you. I deal w/ the mentally ill on my door step daily. But youre the savior of the destitute. I buy something and an outside factor makes that property thats now pretty much un-sellable. I’m working to buy that section 8 building and make it condos. I get the value of my property back and punt the knobs into the county.
Gotta love the libertarian solution; instead of working to make society to be better for everyone, they’d rather stomp others down to be king of the shitpile.
Oh, poor you. Your property values declined? Sounds so much worse than not having a home. Let me work up some tears for this travesty.
It’s literally cartoon villain level headlines of evil and some people will still play the both sides game as if its a close call.
Things like water, shade, and breaks are somehow woke, and can be added to the pile of totally normal and reasonable things that benefit nearly everyone but are now bad because the angry person on tv made this face while talking about it 😡
Singapore hanging its weight on an antiquated, inhumane justice system while the world evolves towards rehabilitative models is downright disturbing. Death penalties for drug offenses are an archaic, blunt instrument to tackle a complex issue, punishing the vulnerable pawns rather than the kingpins of the trade.
So? Singapore doesn’t want any drugs in the country, and put up draconian laws. Just don’t break those laws.
If I tell you that I will brutally murder you if you come to my house wearing a red tie, and you do that… Your death is at least partly on you. Because you had absolutely no good reason to do that.
There is absolutely no positive outcome to selling or consuming heroin. Just don’t do it. It’s not a hard rule to follow…
Well that is an interesting point of view to be sure… I would say the onus of the death lays entirely on the person deciding to apply monumental force against a petty issue.
That’s because that’s literally exactly what this commenter is stating, and nothing else. They leave a reasonable person no choice but to judge them as bloodthirsty and heartless
People just have different tolerance for how much death is caused by their own existence, your gonna kill something regardless to survive, that is life. I am not really to judge, especially a culture that I have very little interaction with.
I work in an industry working with other industrial businesses and we’ve seen so many of their employees get heat related injuries this summer. It’s very hard to get companies to view people as humans and not as a disposable asset.
A lot of times these companies won’t increase protections for workers without the government stepping in with laws and regulations.
I work in an open air factory on Long island. It’s gets over 90°F inside and whatever humidity it is outside is what we have here.
I’ve looked into the laws for factories in NY and the legislation is purposely vague… “all factories are to maintain proper humidity and temperature.” They then never define what proper temp and humidity is… My representatives don’t respond when asked about it.
I’m so happy it’s nice this week so far, last week was brutal…
Holy shit that’s really warm for working inside a factory all day. Thank you for sharing your insight especially since a lot of the news coverage is in places setting temperature records and not places where the heat index is through the roof. I suppose it’s f*kn hot all over this summer.
Gotta be a special kind of incompetent to crumble in a booming economic period.
Yellow has been horribly mismanaged for at least two decades. They should have died long ago and in any environment but one that’s literally awash with money looking for investment opportunities they would have. For structural reasons IC is drying up so we’re going to see a lot more badly run and unprofitable companies going belly up. This is a trend that’s already started and its just going to pick up speed from here.
