FlyingSquid , in A 16-year-old has died at a Mississippi poultry processing plant, county coroner says
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I guarantee you the child was a migrant worker. This has always been about exploiting migrant children.

havokdj ,

Kinda doxxing myself a bit but we actually don’t have that many migrants in MS. Most of the ones I have seen as well tend to work family businesses and they migrated way before the new wave of immigration.

GentlemanLoser ,

Do you live near this plant?

havokdj , (edited )

About 45 minutes out, I actually go to Hattiesburg pretty often too.

Shialac ,

2% of MS population is people in first generation in the US, mostly people from Central America

SCB ,

First generation doesn’t mean migrant. Migrants cross the border to work but live in their home nation.

PapaStevesy ,

Migrants are people who migrate.

SCB , (edited )

“Migrant worker” has a specific meaning.

This is not a hot take by me. This is just you not knowing what words mean

PapaStevesy ,

You didn’t say “migrant worker,” you said “migrant.” All words have specific meaning, that’s not a hot take either.

SCB ,

If only you had the context of an entire comment chain to pull from

stringere ,

but it’s all the way up there ^

PapaStevesy ,

The chain starts off talking about children. A lot of children commuting internationally to MS these days? Are we granting work visas to children all of a sudden? Clearly no one in this thread is working from the same definitions, but that’s actually how language works. Specificity is key if you don’t want to be misunderstood.

Confidently taking about a completely different topic 🤦‍♂️

See, my perpetual guess is foster kids.

FlyingSquid , in Texas city strictly limits water consumption as thousands across state face water shortages
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

But what about the lawns?!

frogfruit ,

Water restrictions vary by city, but landscape irrigation is indeed restricted. Usually they go up to stage 4, which typically limits to watering once a week or once every 2 weeks.

Apparently stage 5 is defined by the city as indoor use only: kvue.com/…/269-22171b66-f29b-4e1a-b57a-9e434ecf34…

Blanco county is currently at stage 3, which limits watering from 7-10 AM or PM and not at all on non-watering weeks. txwaterco.com/…/blanco-county-drought-conditions

Interestingly, they include hand watering in the restrictions. My city has designated days and times you are allowed to water, but hand watering is allowed at any time.

BlackMark3tBaby , in 3-year-old accidentally shoots, kills 1-year-old sibling after getting ahold of unsecured handgun: SDSO

“As of July 12, there have been at least 217 unintentional shootings by children, which have resulted in 76 deaths and 149 injuries so far in 2023, according to a count by the gun control nonprofit Everytown for Gun Safety”

FlyingSquid , in Guardsman Jack Teixeira Cites Trump’s Treatment in Seeking Release in Leak Case - Lawyers say former president’s freedom undermines arguments for their client’s detention
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I hate to say they have a good point, but either Trump is treated like Teixeira or Teixeira is treated like Trump.

orphiebaby , in Texas says no inmates have died due to stifling heat in its prisons since 2012. Some data may suggest otherwise
@orphiebaby@lemmy.world avatar

If anyone in the US says there’s been no abuse and/or neglect in a prison, fire them and sue the shit out of them.

@Izzent@lemmy.world avatar

Of course they lied. And of course there’s no accountability for that.

MoonshineDegreaser , in An 11-year-old boy caught a piranha-like fish in his backyard pond in Oklahoma
@MoonshineDegreaser@lemmy.world avatar

It’s known as “The Ball Cutter”. Why haven’t we tracked these things down yet?

danhasnolife , in Does The Kentucky Attorney General Go To Work? An Investigation.

I respect the remote grind but that does NOT look good in public office

Xepher , in A 16-year-old has died at a Mississippi poultry processing plant, county coroner says

So no real info realesed yet on how he died other than due to an “accident”

@hup@lemmy.world avatar

They won’t be releasing anything until the depositions or criminal investigations force them to disclose all the grisley details.

@JshKlsn@lemmy.ml avatar

This world is fucked lmao. I still wear a mask, never stopped. I had a double lung transplant and don’t feel like rejecting my lungs due to something I can very easily avoid.

Dark_Arc , in 133 Degrees and No Ac: Kids at Angola Prison Kept in Potentially Deadly Heat

For those wondering, it seems to be this prison run by the state of Louisiana doc.louisiana.gov/…/louisiana-state-penitentiary/

Yeah, I thought this was in Angola the country, but nope! This is in the US fuckin’ A!

HandOfDoom ,

Being in the USA should make less sense, being a 1st world country and all, but when I read it was in the USA I wasn’t surprised at all.

frokie ,

This comment needs to be higher

DigitalTraveler42 , in Three finalists picked for job of Chicago police superintendent

Angel Novalez seems like the obvious pick, judging from this article, the other two would be purely political picks based on race. Novalez has actually shown a willingness to innovate and change the force to improve relations, and that’s the most important thing for a city with Chicago’s issues, rebuilding community trust and modifying how the police operate for the better.

Also Snelling having the “trust of the officers” is just a red flag to me, the officers just want to be shielded by a boss that protects them, sure Snelling may be good for the Chicago cops, but what’s good for them isn’t necessarily what’s good for the city, since the cops of the city have become part of the problems for the city, screw their trust. Chicago needs a reformer and that again seems to be Novalez.

DecentM , in ‘Your heart races a bit’: US weather man threatened with death for mentioning climate crisis
@DecentM@lemmy.ml avatar

The fact that whoever sent the death threats only got a small fine is 100% insane

penix , in I lost my job to ChatGPT and was made obsolete. I was out of work for 3 months before taking a new job passing out samples at grocery stores.

To be fair, passing out free samples at a grocery store is also trivial to automate.

sadreality ,

At what cost?

thorbot ,

About $3.50

sadreality ,

well... then i guess we done here, they can fire all these useless clerks and sell your 3.50 solution to them now! u next zuck, bnoy

Don't worry, only jobs that aren't soul crushing will be automated. How else will people build their little wannabe corporate fiefdoms lording over the miserable peasants?
