They can strike all they want, they work for a business whose model only functions off of squeezing their employees, so it's either squeeze the employee's or collapse.

Personally I think they should collapse and people should riot in the streets until their respective governments cave and say fuck you to the oil industry and start building public transport infrastructure

Rimworld, palworld, armored core vi, ready or not, cp2077 and metro

2d means no consent necessary and no worries beyond artist mistreatment or underpayment by the publisher.

Which is a molehill compared to the mountain of issues in the actual sex work industry.

I don't disagree that quality journalism exists, however I would posit that current day journalists have more incentive to cover nonsense like the current topic as opposed to serious issues like tax avoidance from billionaires or inappropriate gifts, travel and monetary donations to various individuals in power (and their backing bodies) from multinational corporations and their associated c-suites. A key issue of note is the increasing rate over the last few years in which individuals with journalistic integrity are being shunted aside or outright murdered, or imprisoned, for their investigations into such things (kashoggi being one of the largest international examples of this, but I would posit the majority of individuals that work for the ICIJ would fall under that umbrella as well, seeing as a number of them have been murdered in recent years, which in my opinion deters serious journalism that holds those elected to account)

I would also note that the international nature of corrupt banking and the intertwining of banking interests with military industrial interests creates a system of active suppression and aversion.

Especially given the inherent need for local journalists to travel abroad to unfavourable countries to get answers from multinational companies alleged to be engaged in nefarious actions whether directly or within their supply chains.

This quote from the official inquiry regarding the murder of Daphne Galizia is particularly chilling in my opinion:

"The fact remains that in the board’s opinion, Daphne Caruana Galizia’s writing about the intimacy between big business and politics led to her assassination."

Apologies in advance for link spam. Sources in case you may have missed any of the above/in case others would like to dive further:

Two international investigations shut down with direct violence:

Specifically murder in relation to their investigations. You'll notice a trend between terror and banking crisis years and increase of journalist murders. 2023 was lower but appears to be an outlier, here's hoping the 2023 trend continues:

ICIJ link because I think they do good work:

Ground news link to assist with sifting through biased articles (I'm guessing more people are aware of this, but I have found it particularly useful these days with certain organizations choosing to omit facts or present an incomplete scenario to push a narrative)

Obviously it isn't new, but it's important to point out so people can acknowledge it and work to avoid engaging in it in the future. Periodically engaging in this content is fine, that's why we had tabloids, but old companies that specifically worked in journalism that have been bought and re-aligned with tabloid-esque behaviour is because we are willing to click on it.

A few less clicks and more reflection on the things we click can go a long way, in my opinion.

Same, but even our interest in other peoples views on the topic at hand contributes to the superficial topic getting more views

This representative should've been aborted

Everyone that clicked on this article please be aware that we are the problem behind why news agencies don't cover real news anymore.

Engineers at tesla do great work. Elon is a completely incompetent moron who has no fucking idea what he's talking about, please stop using what he says as 'gospel' for what the company and its products can and can not do.

The literal only reason he's CEO of tesla right now is because he fucking bought the position

The easiest way to deal with this complete dumbfuckery is to abolish gendered bathrooms and add full wall to ceiling stalls with locked doors.

Please shut the fuck up about this there are real problems to deal with

"Drunk driver dies in tesla"

Ok, prove who is and isn't a nazi.

Saying anyone who holds a different opinion than you is a nazi opens up to people calling you a nazi and shooting you.

Has this "journalist" been in a coma since twitters purchase? One of the first things done was the removal of 'elonjet' and a plethora of elon critics

The core edit occurred less than 45 seconds after the post and the second edit fixed grammar and punctuation about a minute later.

And it's clear you haven't actually read the paper you're linking given that in that very investigation overview they describe the employers as the issue and not the industry as a whole.

Also, I like how you've just ignored all my notes about your own use of slave labour and child labour in your food and the device your using to continue bitching about the problem as well as misrepresenting the issues noted in the very paper you linked.

I'm going to chalk this up to incompetence and block you, but yes "well played" you "definitely got me".

By the way, since it's clear you did not read the paper:

“The safety of young workers and significant reductions in child labor violations are top priorities for the U.S. Department of Labor,” said Principal Deputy Wage and Hour Division Administrator Jessica Looman. “Employers who choose to hire young workers have a legal responsibility to know and abide by the federal laws that govern their employment. These obligations include eliminating all exposures to hazardous occupations and prohibited equipment, and preventing young workers from suffering serious injuries or worse.”

In case you can't understand what is being said in the paper, the TL:DR is "Bad employers paying off corrupt politicians to weaken employment restrictions for young workers and the same bad employers ignoring or reducing safety training and safety equipment".

Contrary to you, I actually do investigate the supply lines and employment conditions of just about everything I use and consume, I can't change anything about it because it needs to be a group vote to make change, but I at least educate myself on these things.

Again, unlike you.

Blaming the meat industry for underage workers dying is a false equivalency and false dilemma. You are a fool* to equivocate these issues.

Meat isn't the problem, incompetent politicians and garbage employers are the problem but you're pretending the meat industry is the only industry engaging in child labour practices.

I bet you eat chocolate as well, and spoiler alert, child labour AND slave labour is involved in ALL chocolate acquisition, not to mention avocado and large scale vegetable farming uses child labour daily, but I don't hear you bitching about that, I hear you blaming "meat" and attempting to guilt anyone who consumes meat into believing they inherently support child labour when they buy it.

Meanwhile you're using an apple or android phone or a computer of any kind to communicate, meaning you have supported child and slave labour which acquired the raw materials to create the device you are using to bitch about this topic and misdirect people into believing your extremely perverted view of the world.

The sheer incompetence of your presentation here is dripping in irony and is denoting an unparalleled lack of education or an unbelievable level of intellectual dishonesty.

Edit: *removed an overly aggressive insult to prevent mods from being salty.

"The world of tomorrow, today"

I don't read usernames and didn't read yours until you mentioned it, and before that I knew you were vegan because you were using strawman in conjunction with a false dilemma and faulty generalization fallacies in order to push a 'meat bad' argument.

The most common argumentative fallacies used by vegans, peta, and trolls.
