Start talking to your coworkers!

Even if you don't convince your workplace to unionize, you're laying the groundwork for the next person who tries.

I think it's more like, if you're ever in a custody dispute your diagnosis can be used against you.

And as we enter the "Entire cities burning down" part of climate change the world will do... Absolutely nothing.

Same.

I was like, huh seems like she was overworked I guess I wonder why there's so many comments... Oh fuck.

Exactly. This wouldn't even be a blip in the news if he weren't a former president. Judges lock people up for contempt all the time for way less than he's already said.

Most sane people agree you can't tamper with witnesses or threaten prosecutors (or anyone). He just has a loud cult of rabid defenders who would believe the sky was purple if he said it.

It's not that anyone had to do anything.

But if a particular demographic is dying more frequently of a specific cause, it's worth digging into why that's happening. These are people for fucks sake.

Never tried meth but I was homeless for a time. I can absolutely see why you'd flock to it if you live on the street.

It's not safe to sleep, even more so at night. Cops make a habit of stealing/destroying your stuff, and because of that other homeless people steal your shit. It makes you feel invincible, helps you ignore the cold, and 10 bucks keeps you high for 2 days.

It's all well and good to say don't do drugs, but not having a place can really change your priorities in ways you'd never expect.

If conservatives (or dems) were smart they'd lean hard into something like the CCC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_Conservation_Corps?wprov=sfla1

Teach young people life skills, lift a whole generation out of poverty, plant and manage forests, fix up our infrastructure... So much could be done. A modern, environment-focused CCC would be revolutionary, and I would bet whoever runs with some form of that idea first sweeps the following elections.

I'd maybe haul a ton of potatoes for a thousand pounds.

Sure as shit not tilling, fertilizing, planting, watering, maintaining, picking, hauling, and selling that many potatoes for that kind of money.

There's a reason big ag is so dominant, and it's (partially) because their margins are so insane a small farmer can't easily break into the market.

Seems like a blatant violation of the first amendment.

Peacefully assembling to share a meal isn't speech? Who the fuck says all these people aren't my friends and family?

I feel like this would be highly dependent on your resume.

Might catch some looks if your work experience is mostly Dennys and Walmart and you're trying to hide a six month gap behind an NDA.

Funny thing for me, is that Beehaw was the first bit of the Fediverse I ever came across. Tried to sign up, twice, didn't work. So that's how I ended up on .world, the first group I found that didn't want an essay to sign up.
