RagingNerdoholic , in Pooping only every 3 or more days linked with cognitive decline, research finds

Turns out being full of shit really is the same as being stupid.

FlyingSquid , in Poultry plant blames staffing company for hiring 16-year-old who was killed in workplace accident

Fuck you, child murderers. Take some responsibility for what you did.

lemmyshmemmy , in China doesn’t want a trade war with the US but will retaliate against further curbs, ambassador says

“We just want to play fair” said the largest state sponsor of corporate espionage

MyOpinion , in Woman suing Texas over abortion ban vomits on the stand in emotional reaction during dramatic hearing

I am surprised these Texas savages did not lock her up.

Matt_Shatt ,

Texas will soon be banning women from vomiting in public. That’ll solve that issue.

Shit.

MicroWave OP , in Florida Board of Education approves new Black history standards that critics call ‘a big step backward’
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

The new standards require instruction for middle school students to include “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit,” a document listing the standards and posted in the Florida Department of Education website said.

ridago ,

They were actually just unpaid interns so it’s all okay, nothing to see here

And, unlike interns, they had access to free meals and a free sleeping place! Times sure were better back then!

Unpaid internship is also pretty fucked up though (unless there’s a lot of mentorship involved)

TaintLord9000 ,

My mom would talk like this; she had the displeasure of being raised by people that had Klan ties and was never fully deprogrammed. Absolutely terrifying.

amanneedsamaid ,

Holy fuck. That is unbelievably backwards.

FlyingSquid ,

I had a kindergarten teacher lie to us that her grandfather had a slave and he liked being a slave. I don’t even know why she did that, but this reminds me of it. Just straight up bullshit about slavery.

captainlezbian ,

She probably did it because it’s a really comfortable thing to believe, but it’s obviously bullshit so she just kept saying it to keep believing it

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, but also it was the 1980s, so I don’t think it was even possible even if she was really old (she seemed like she was, but I was 5).

kitonthenet ,

Oh so it’s not just that activists and critics read that as saying “slavery was beneficial,” that’s just the plain reading of the law

captainlezbian ,

What in the actual living fuck‽

ilovesatan , in Advocates say new Florida standards require slavery to be taught as 'beneficial'
@ilovesatan@lemmy.world avatar

Devils advocate: it was beneficial to white slave owners.

themeatbridge ,

You could make that argument. Florida Republicans are teaching children that the slaves benefited personally because they learned skills they could use.

Capitalism works best when it consumes labor for free...

...so, maybe it's time we got a new economic system.

VanillaGorilla , in Advocates say new Florida standards require slavery to be taught as 'beneficial'

Just saw that state off and shove it into the ocean. It'll only get worse.

girlfreddy , in Poultry plant blames staffing company for hiring 16-year-old who was killed in workplace accident
@girlfreddy@lemmy.world avatar

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division have launched investigations into the incident, a spokesperson said. Any company found to be in violation could face a federal fine of more than $30,000 per incident.

OSHA’s fines mean nothing. Time to raise them to $1,000,000 per incident, 50% of which go to the families of those injured or killed … then companies might start paying attention.

Fredselfish ,
@Fredselfish@lemmy.world avatar

Fuck fines executives and managers and the CEO need to be jailed. Fucking lying bastards.

WookieMunster ,

tbh it’d be hard not to take matters into my own hands if that was one of my family members

TenderfootGungi ,

China had huge fines. People would commit suicide to help their families. They put up nets and stopped the huge payouts to families.

But $30k is absurdly low for a death.

fiat_lux ,

Make it a percentage of the annual worldwide turnover like GDPR. Companies have been very quick to make changes with GDPR's fines of up to €20 million, or up to 4% of the annual worldwide turnover of the preceding financial year.

Nobody is changing anything when killing a child only costs them US$30k and their annual revenue is estimated at US$300 million. They also had a US$7.5 million PPP loan forgiven.

Error my ass.

Chozo ,

The "error" was getting caught. They'll do it again. They'll just be sneakier about it.

kingthrillgore , in Wagner mercenaries and Belarus hold military exercises near Poland's border
@kingthrillgore@kbin.social avatar

Invading Poland is a terrible idea. They're crazy and Catholic enough to strike back.

Chickenstalker , in China doesn’t want a trade war with the US but will retaliate against further curbs, ambassador says

So, China will stop selling cheap knockoffs or over expensive iphones to the US? Do eeeetttt

Telorand , in The Senate Judiciary panel will consider ethics rules for the Supreme Court
@Telorand@kbin.social avatar

Now, watch in amazement as the DNC fails to capitalize on the GOP's desire to have a SCOTUS with no enforceable ethical standards.

Starayo , in Convicted Ponzi schemer granted clemency by Trump charged with new Ponzi scheme
@Starayo@lemmy.world avatar

I am shocked. Shocked.

veroxii ,

Well… Not really that shocked.

ohlaph ,

A little shocked, but so little, it can’t even be measured.

DaveNa ,

Said no one ever.

Viking_Hippie ,

Not true. I just read his comment out loud, so at least one person has said it.

JustAManOnAToilet ,

I actually am pretty shocked, but mostly that he was able to get anyone to trust him with money.

girlfreddy , in Detainees and advocates decry 'horrific' conditions at Louisiana ICE detention center

… more than 1,110 people were detained at Winn, a major detention center operated by a private company

America’s privatization of absolutely everything is the reason shit like this happens all the fucking time.
