She certainly learned a lot about art activism, more than was intended by the course.

That principal is a bag of dicks.

It’s not about giving away money. It’s about an entity that grossly mishandled money on a large scale having the audacity to give advice to others on handling money.

Worse, they’re giving micromanagement level advice regarding the money involved with a cup of coffee.

What’s bizarre about the avocado toast thing is avocados were 2-4/$1 or a whole whopping $.79 ea then.

Exactly.

zephorah , to United States | News & Politics in Trump trusted more than Biden on democracy among key swing-state voters

I’ve spoken to more than one midwesterner who is dismissive of Jan 6. “Not an insurrection”, “bunch of idiots”, etc. There’s a real disconnect on what Jan 6 actually is.

It’s also clear in those conversations that they don’t see it as Trumps fault.

As such, there will be no perception of Biden as a Democracy custodian. In order for that to happen, perception of Jan 6 would have to undergo a seismic shift 3yrs later.

Well that gives us one piece of the push to dismantle the EPA.

Because reading any news headlines is like drinking from a firehose of liquid shit.

Reading climate change news is like drinking from a firehose of liquid misery and hopelessness.

High odds people skip all that to go play games or read a book. Or even to go outside and enjoy it while it lasts.

Edit: Not endorsing it as cool, just stating basic human behavior.

No, it’s military fodder. Poor people, After all make up most enlisted. Workforce fodder. And people with kids to focus on don’t have time or inclination to riot, protest, punch up, form unions, or go on strike. Children will always be the bigger concern.

That it intersects with the evangelical vote is happy coincidence.

zephorah , to Texas in Infant Mortality Rose 13 Percent in Texas After Abortion Ban, Study Finds

What most of these ignorant politicos and evangelicals don’t get about late term abortions is it’s stillbirth removal.

And, abortion is a medical procedure where the nomenclature doesn’t care about context. The medical chart says abortion for chosen termination, expedited miscarriage (to avoid bleeding out & pain), stillbirth removal, etc. I do not know if that nomenclature holds for “pruning” implanted fetuses in the IVF process.

Tangentially, enough politicians and Barrett herself have groused about “domestic supply of infants”, birth rates, and such that IVF will never suffer the same fate as abortion access, no matter what evangelicals feel on the topic. How the evangelicals feel was never the primary point.

Did the study mention how much mother mortality AND overall hospital stays for both mother and child increased as a result?

zephorah , to Reddit in New Study: At Least 15% of All Reddit Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public Opinion

A few very niche subs appear unaffected, but mostly the questions are all like someone shook a magic 8 ball and the same crap pops up over and over and over.

You know how your brain feels after being assaulted by a commercial? Reddit feels more like that now.

zephorah , to World News in Greece introduces the six-day work week

Yes they do. Did you know, in healthcare, they can do this with all the nurses in more than half the states? It’s about whether or not your state has rules against it. The ones who have restricted it recognize how dangerous it is for patient safety. Kids have died because of errors made in these scenarios. And that’s just the publicized court case stuff. I’m sure grandma, with a no CPR choice logged in her chart, gets swept under the rug or not noticed as an aberration.

Hospital administration is cheap so they’ll use it as a standard staffing strategy rather than call an outside, more expensive agency, to fill in, when the state lets them.

These are usually the same states that do not have lunch break laws.

So you can get a nurse: post-surgical, ICU, ER, or elsewhere who hasn’t slept in 24hrs. Hasn’t eaten anything in 15hrs. Maybe longer, because these people have kids and go to class. There’s no sleeping between call lights, they have to be attentive for the duration.

They’re tapped on the shoulder about an hour or two before shift end and told they’re staying. On penalty of abandonment on their license.

Idk about you, but I can’t read words at about 18hrs. Working tired is like working drunk. This is scary.

That’s what I want when I’ve been in a bad car accident and need to be hospitalized. My safety in the hands of one person who is in their 21st hour awake and hasn’t eaten for 10-12hrs because nothing that sells food is open at night, including the hospital cafeteria. Even the food prep crowd is screwed on this one.

Another fun fact. At night, hospitals run with a skeleton crew of docs. Normally, this is fine. You have competent help, read: nurses, who can see and predict the patient having problems and can then call the doc, or page an emergency overhead and get even more people for the patient. Enter mandatory overtime nurse. How well is he going to do on this while essentially working drunk?

But hey, if it saves corporate a buck then it’s worth playing this game of Russian roulette, amiright?

Fuck. Don’t give corporate America ideas. It’ll be the next shit spun through this travesty of a Supreme Court.
