You're just shifting responsibility to the population that has no real control over the matter. That's completely unethical.

Otherwise, go learn a trade and join a union.

My kid fell for this. They promise you'll get paid while you learn. What they don't tell you is that IF you manage to pass the entrance exam (he did) you get put on a list for open apprenticeship positions, waiting to be called in at any moment. While you're on that list you don't get paid. If you do get a spot, contracts only last a couple of months. Then you go back on the list. Rinse and repeat. And the longer you've been in the union the higher up you get placed on the list. So the older members get placed before the newer ones no matter what number they were in line. This "join a trade" push is similar to the charter school scam, siphoning up state and federal training funds without delivering results.

Idk, I'm a woman approaching my senior years who had to have someone else install it. My whole household is on Linux. None of us are in IT.

I'm in an urban center where you still see a fair amount of suits downtown during business hours. Honestly, capes or cloaks with the outfits you linked I would just assume were blankets and I'd expect to be asked for change...I mean, I see that already, every day. It's an "interesting" look alright.

Women can get away with it. My coworker has a beautiful full-length, wool winter cape she wears just for every-day. I bet men could, too, with a suit on a formal occasion.

The article says it was "fat and lean mass" not water weight. And while the "lean mass" (which I guess could be water) retuned after eating again, the "fat mass" did not.

The volunteers lost an average of 5.7 kg of both fat mass and lean mass. After three days of eating after fasting, the weight stayed off -- the loss of lean was almost completely reversed, but the fat mass stayed off.

But they're banning printed books in libraries instead...

This. I used a large-screen, dumb tv as a computer monitor for streaming for several years. My kid got his first real job and bought us a smart TV. It is so much worse...

Because the majority of the American people believe Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people, rather than just a war against Hamas, and US support is starting to hurt Biden's chances of being re-elected.

There are still people alive who lived through the Holocaust. Yet Israel would turn around and do the same to others, with bombs and drones instead of gas chambers. It's unfathomable to me and just disgusting. I no longer have the sympathy I once did.

At the same time, you can't convince me that the timing of the whole thing wasn't the direct result of trump selling secrets to Russia.

The new who?

All unions should be taking up the issue of the right to remote work.

Fuck outta here.

With all these doddering, half (or outright) senile politicians you aren't electing them, you're electing their handlers and controllers--the political nursemaids who help them onto the stage so they can muster the strength to walk across it in front of the camera without falling over, who bring them their applesauce when they're done, and feed them their policy along with it.

to ensure kids grow up to have a world of business and hard work ready at their fingertips.

I don't want that. No one should want that. Watching my young adult come to the realization that 8 hours a day, five days a week was FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE was one of the hardest things I've had to do as a parent.

"Agrees?!" Like it's a choice?

Or the fact that he's apparently cut the chest out of his t-shirt, while his vest doesn't wrap around the back of his torso.

Yeah, that video doesn't show any violence either. You only hear broken glass. They don't even show the window after it was broken.

Too little, too fucking late.
