This is a really innovative way to reinforce their message that WFH is just as good.

Yes they do... Sort of. This was organized with the hashtag PizzaIsNotWorking on Facebook, and theres a gofundme page that reached about a million. Many unions are offering help, hopefully resources will reach them. But they aren't asking for much, either.

It sounds fairly similar to racism, tbh

I think a lot of the confusion in this thread comes from you saying this in a way that sounds like you don't know more and have for the first time made this connection. Down the thread, it's clear you know exactly what you're saying, and you seem annoyed that other users didn't recognize that in the first place.

to farm and have enough food?

Farming is literally seasonal work. Meaning no, you don't do it every day. The main events are planting and harvesting.

true happiness is reached through responsibility.

Your main point could just as easily be used to defend capitalism - ie. Paying your bills. Can you get more specific about how I can use responsibility to create happiness in my life?

Carbon Bombs are the 425 biggest fossil fuel extraction projects in the world.

"Financial institutions everywhere must end lending, underwriting and investments in coal anywhere – including new coal infrastructure, power plants and mines." - Antonio Guterres, U.N. Secretary General

Guardian 2022: 195 Carbon Bombs

LeMonde: 422 Carbon Bombs, 128 in Planning

ScienceDirect: 425 Carbon Bombs

Each has a lifetime emissions potential of a gigaton of CO2 Total is 4 times the current global climate change reduction target.

France has the most capital funding for Carbon Bomb projects. France is funding an unbelievable number of these projects, many of which will be built and operated in the global south. Of these 425, only 128 are still in the planning or building stage, and not currently operating.

Genuinely taking advantage of and encouraging the collapse of spontaneous social interactions, playing into our deepest insecurities, and then charging us for it.

Almost certainly competition / training. A bike like this is your exercise, leisure, hobby, your source of competitive spirit, your hobby, and of course its your baby who you love and keep tuned up. A 15k car is a great value, a workhorse. Is it your baby? Maybe it is if you're still driving it.

Frankly I'm a bit disappointed in Israel's ability to fight a war without the frequent use of war crimes. Fighting hamas has displaced a million people, killed thousands of civilians, seen power and water shut off to the area, including to hospitals. Israel keeps releasing more justifications. I just saw Netanyahu go over a 3D rendering of a hospital explaining why bombing hospitals might be necessary because Hamas has tunneled underneath them 😮‍💨 which... Maybe? But there's a better chance this is a pre-justification for more horrifyingly irresponsible war-planning.

And I believe there are diplomatic ways to remove Hamas from power. An engagement with the rights Palestinians desire would see them less desperate and less willing to support Hamas - 70% of Palestinians are unsupportive of Hamas' attack, and 80% of Israelis are unhappy with Netanyahu's response.

Omg right! Hundreds of those fucking false flag incidents or whatever they're called, over the last few years.

Dog what this is a weak level crime, I bet this is happening all over the place. The church officials at my local church drive luxury cars and there was a history of um uh Catholicism going on too and nobody went to prison lmao
