  • If a boss forced an unwanted kiss (and bear hug lift) on an employee, and then insisted that it was consensual and that the employee was lying when they said it was not, tried to coerce them into saying they were lying, had other senior people declare that they were lying, and used the company website to declare that they were lying, after a years-long dispute with this and dozens of other employees complaining of sexism and creepy behaviour endorsed by this boss...

    I'm not a fan of carceral solutions but I'd certainly like to see a lifetime ban on working in that industry, a lifetime ban on holding any position of authority over others without supervision, and massive monetary compensation to every complainant.

    And if the criminal justice system in its current carceral context magically became laser-focused on rich people abusing their power instead of poor people trying to survive, that would be an excellent start, no?

  • The sub-editor writes it.

  • Yes. Did you forget how to quote your whole post?

  • The author does not write the headlines.

  • You stated it very much as a set of rules that should exist. Twice.

  • Who do you imagine is (or should be) making these rules for the Fediverse?

  • It's a discussion of the polls of farmers, which fluctuated a great deal above and below 50% support.

    I posted it because Remain fucked up the campaign and now blames everyone but themselves. Which is exactly how and why they lost in the first place. Astonishing arrogance and spite.

  • There is one sentence which makes passing reference to the stereotyping of various groups of people who Remain insists on blaming for its own mistakes. And you decided the only reasonable response was to reassure us that the stereotype was true for one of those groups, according to your inevitably limited experience of individuals you have encountered.

    Astonishing.

  • What does an article from a publication called West Country Voices entitled "Challenging the myth that farmers voted for Brexit (and therefore deserve what’s coming to them…)" have to do with Nissan workers?

  • What do Nissan workers have to do with this thread?

  • Powerlessness

  • That sounds lush, tbf.

  • Where are you getting cream from? There's no cream in Hasselback potatoes?

  • Yes. The licensing approval for things like this need to include a plan for continued support if/when the company goes belly up. That would have to include the govt agreeing to pick up the slack, which would require some kind of trust fund for each individual implant to cover a lifetime of maintenance. Or, you know, nationalisation. But this is the world we live in ... so even the most basic solution won't happen because it might get in the way of some rich fuckers turning people into money.

  • Where did you get all that from?

  • Because historically it’s been shown that they are weaker players they were excluded, creating the illusion that they were weaker players

  • Yes, yes it does.
