They also yeah combine with recess time so some kids don’t eat at all because they just want to energy release and play while others are just slower eaters, either way so unhealthy habit building.

Gotta get them ready for the work world where their employer will try to ignore their required (unpaid) lunch…

So I’m new to this and couldn’t figure out why kids don’t finish their lunch. Why are they given like 15 minutes to eat? It’s unhealthy.

It’s a bummer, but their economics were never far off from Nike…outsource manufacturing, low paid retail and a premium client base. The slide into anti-people was inevitable. They were clearly bad 3+ years ago, IIRC some of their store staff announced they were going to unionize and then suddenly they closed their headquarters store in Seattle. Same thing happened in Portland’s pearl location under the cover of “safety”–straight out of Starbucks playbook from seattle–that the NLRB found them guilty of breaking labor law and forced them to negotiate with their employees as required by law.

You can understand why these douche companies want to get rid of NLRB…government isn’t any fun when it pushes back against the powerful.

…just found this…certainly answers some questions https://www.geekwire.com/2021/longtime-amazon-retail-exec-joins-rei-as-its-first-chief-commercial-officer/

This is your reminder you should be already boycotting TJs as they joined a lawsuit with Musk and Bezos trying to claim the NLRB was unconstitutional because their employees are forming unions at such a quick rate as it’s the only power they have. REI and Starbucks joined too.

I shopped at TJs for 17 years before that story broke this summer, haven’t been in since. Money meet mouth.

I’m HR and I support this message. Only thing I would add is that its much worse than that–its not just specialized jobs. Even bad, low wage jobs desperate for labor either a) don’t have the HR budget to review and screen the volume of applicants correctly b) have given up on a) and have an AI screening system that sucks and still gives them too many candidates to review and screen with their budget. Hiring managers mostly have even less time than HR.

Blockchain resumes is the only way, but much like Esperanto has a critical mass of institutions and organizations that likely won’t be reached.

This should have been settled in bankruptcy court as part of business wind down before anyone got a penny of assets divided proceeds. When it’s not then another legal battle is required to get the company to do what it should have. Such a waste of time and needless burden for society. Unfortunately, regulatory capture and representative funding capture is almost total so no laws will be passed to change it.

Probably not bolted down and installed properly either. Which part of the US is this?

3rd type- sees Real wages falling each year, has college debt or car debt or credit card debt or had to buy a new furnace on an installment plan or God forbid wants to take a vacation or or or

Anyway, this person has to try keep climbing or they will lose their car/ be kicked out of their apartment, nothing in society will support them as they “failed at their job and/or must be lazy”, etc.

There truly are some doofuses at every level of organization, the closer to the top people more often are playing the cruel game to win, but middle management are hardly the game theory types–they wouldn’t have accepted their job if they were that strategic as there is no winning.

So depressing to see working class folks going after other working class folks(someone with supervisor or manager or director in their title) because they “have it better”…the latter almost exclusively are trapped in a different fucked up system.

Oh look, all the stupid Africans. Jesus, how could anyone not question this?

I mashed the down arrow because it’s probably more strongly correlated with GDPPPP or access to free, high quality education than an inherent measure of intelligence. Crappy correlations to pseudomeasurements and concepts with racist results? What is this, the SATs?

Ideal productivity, under capitalism.

Isn’t it wild what humans are capable of? Someone can understand human nature and history to the degree to write some of the things in HP and yet completely have blinders on to their own biases that would enable the same things?

Just read “the Hearing” with my kid tonight, a chapter early in HP 5, when one of the better villains in popular literature is introduced, Delores Umbridge. First time I read HP5 was 20 years ago, reading it again today only for the second time with current context is instructive.

The Hearing is an important chapter as it, for the first time, lays out that the institution running the wizard world might not be on Harry’s side, that there may be political motives behind processes, treatment and proceedings, and overall pulls the adolescent curtain down on the assumption right and good are running everything in the world of wizarding. Umbridge becomes the embodiment of propaganda, misuse of position, and how much damage motivated actors can do when handed power.

Here’s the VP of Reddit’s community cited in the article, Laura Nestler, preaching super engagement from a platforms most fanatical users to power content for the 90%.

She suggests, intrinsic motivators such as “autonomy”.

She was at Yelp prior, which if you want to look at a steaming pile of a wasted company, man give reddit 5-10 years.

You’re saying he’s a synthetic fiber and not the traditional cotton plain weave? The textile industry will be shocked!

Well captalists sleep easier when they have a “labor” president who broke the railroad strike last year. All they did was print some scary news stories for a month, get the public opinion whipped up and suddenly the Dems were happy to play Reagan.

But perhaps exactly what was (unfortunately) needed;

Don’t assume institutions and those in power or authority are anything more than fallible efforts. Ever.

We’re 5 years from someone proposing “smartwall displays” where the entire wall is your display. No more messy cables or creaky mounting brackets. They’ll, of course also have removed the on/off button and you won’t get to control the volume, but just think of the stimulation!

Fahrenheit 451’s technology just around the corner of the next shitty planned community coming soon near you.
