I'm happy that they had those, and you raised a good point about underlying conditions

This was tragic and was likely very easily avoidable.

It's cold for nearly half of the damn year. We're in Canada for crying out loud, winter isn't a new concept. It's inhumane and cruel to expect people to suddenly stand outside in these elements for a long period of time.

I recently quit a job at a factory for a very popular "family" food company. There was a small fire last winter. We all passed by our locker room on the way out, but they INSISTED that NO ONE should grab their coat or sweater, despite the small fire being a very long distance away.

They adamantly refused to get anyone emergency blankets, and we were also not allowed to wait in our cars. We could not leave the property either, even after the head count. I was finally allowed to leave to go home around 3pm, but I had cold chills until nearly 9pm. Our health and safety department was pushing for some kind of heating protocol for a very long time, but management always talked over them.

This feels very eerie to read. This could have easily been me or any of my previous coworkers.

We need more worker protections and safety protocols. This was a person who will never be able to say goodbye to their friend and family. They had hopes and dreams. Their life had value. They even had a small child and a partner. How incredibly tragic and unnecessary.

Then if do you click the link, the article has almost nothing to do with the title. No confirmations, no details, just random claims from someone who you've never heard of before.

On google, I started seeing too many of the first results tagged as "ad". It became even more concerning when those tag dissapeared but the same websites showed up.

I used to able to trouble shoot nearly anything I needed to, but now I come across completely unrelated posts more than I come across solutions.

I was iffy about bing, I still kind of am, but at least I find what I'm looking for most of the time. I'm personally going to wait a bit before trying out other browsers, when there's a bit less risk of them selling. I remember a good android launcher that used to be trusted before they sold to another company
