No, it’s more that the boomers/older Gen X treats any sign of even polite disagreement as attacks on their very character. Many of them simply cannot accept that their views are outdated, and any challenges to their view is a disrespectful slight.
It’s very telling that many of them still complain about millennials as children ruining everything to this day, when the oldest millennials are in their early 40s, and they are somehow shocked that Gen Z is even more progressive and vocal about their views than us millennials.
Indeed. It appears he didn't have a lucrative career beforehand. Even if he wasn't in prison and worked for 50 years and had 25% of disposable income garnished (the maximum amount) he'd need $37,000 of disposable income, per month.
I'm not saying those lives are worth less, they are definitely worth more. But this sum was never going to be recouped.
Since he’s in prison, the reality is that the amount he’s paying is negative. Instead of paying the government money in the form of a fine, he’s costing the government money because he’s in prison and needs to be fed, housed and guarded.
Wait, everyone was telling me this only happened in China.
Huh. You mean it’s okay for America to spy on its citizens but not the Chinese? I guess I am a stupid tool who doesn’t realize there’s a trade war going on and both nations pull the exact same shit with their populace as the other.
Oh dear God I remember being warned about this in a chem lab because we were using some silica.
Dust/particulates are always bad for the lungs. I don’t think there’s any exception. Masks with a fitness test need to be provided and specified as PPE for this kind of work, at the very least. The company is unlikely to do so themselves unless legally pressured to.
Edit from my double comment: employers are required to provide functioning, proper PPE to employees per OSHA, and also train them on properly using it. If masks and water hoses aren’t already considered required, we need to make sure that gets updated. Force the companies to comply or be sued.
I very recently watched a safety module thing about this for work actually as part of the training requirement.
I've seen articles like this before. The answer on why? Money. School districts are underfunded and can't recruit teachers on a shoestring budget.
Hundreds of school systems around the country have adopted four-day weeks in recent years, mostly in rural and western parts of the U.S. Districts cite cost savings and advantages for teacher recruitment,
She has no interest in paying for the child care option the district is offering for $30 per day. Multiplied by several kids, it adds up.
Straight up just cutting services and charging people a surcharge that their taxes already pay for.
The district offers meals on Mondays, but not at every school. Starting in October, struggling students will be able to attend school on Mondays for extra help.
That just sounds like school with extra steps.
“You have to go back and look, you know, what do parents do during the summertime? What do they do over, you know, spring break or Christmas break?” he said, adding that schools already had weekdays off for occasions such as teacher conferences.
They fucking suffer? They pay for summer camp. Or daycare services which are $$$. Or like me in the 90s, you're a latch-key kid. And you end up seriously lacerating yourself at 9yo because you shouldn't leave kids unsupervised.
The change also provides another day to work on family farms
Yeah. Four day schools aren’t this great thing for kids, but ways to be shitty with education funding. I won’t be surprised if, in a decade, all high school classes in one district are taught full remote with the school just being a day care to watch the students.
This absolutely feels like they are trying to add micro transactions to schools to make them more profitable… Fuck that’s horrifying.
People really don’t want to have to pay a fair share towards be part of our small society when they have the bigger one they can play with stuff like this only exists to hurt and squeeze the commoner.
Does anyone know anything if these tests have been updated in any way since the onset of covid? I read a couple mutation strands in that they were less effective as they mutated, but if that is true I imagine we’re quite a number of strands down the line now, and am curious about the tests and how they work
The short answer is yes, these home tests are still effective:
But ultimately, the tests are still capable of picking up infections, said Todd Merchak, who co-leads the RADx program at the National Institutes of Health. The program, whose name is short for “rapid acceleration of diagnostics,” was created during the pandemic to quickly develop tests for the coronavirus.
“To date, the performance of currently marketed COVID-19 tests has not been adversely impacted by any new variants,” Merchak said in a statement.
The reason is because:
Most rapid tests, on the other hand, target the nucleocapsid proteins, or N-protein, of the coronavirus. N-proteins don’t change as much as spike proteins do.
