I did retirement home training and used to think it was a sweet job. Then I got in the business and underestimated how demoralizing it was as they give you the easy elders in training while the others make you, or at least me, really think of the fact the job just amounts to an unkarmic freebie.

That shit should be illegal, with, like, a living whitelist so you can still put out a sandwich board in front of your restaurant.

Yes, I know that will implode entire sectors. They deserve it.

    There's a city in France - Toulouse, IIRC EDIT: Correction: it is Grenoble - where the mayor ran on a promise that "if you elect me, I'll remove all the billboards." Turns out that was really popular, so now that city does not have any billboards.

    ETA: A video about it. (Dutch, but it has (auto-generated) English subtitles)

    I cannot for the life of me understand why billboards are legal in general. We’ve gone through the effort of banning distractions like even touching your phone while you’re driving, which makes sense, but yet these massive advertisements who’s literal sole intention and purpose is to get you to look at it instead of the road exist and are everywhere. They’re also complete eyesores. Why?! It surprises me there hasn’t been more campaigns like that, I can’t imagine billboards are exactly a popular idea
