Nearly 4,000 US meatpacking workers to strike at plant run by top Trump donor Workers at JBS USA to strike Monday in what will be the first labor strike in the meatpacking industry in decades

"Many of the workers at the plant are immigrants, many with refugee or protected immigration statuses. About 57 different languages are spoken at the plant."

And 99% voted to strike!

one upside of all of this is the revelation that the swinging dick bankers and big rah rah capital execs and billionaires are actually meek little scared dogs and president AOC or whoever (god willing) should walk them on a leash and make them drink out of a bowl

And too bad nothing will change and some time in the future we'll read some more Enron-esque messages from some other corporation.

Two Live Nation Entertainment Inc.
executives bragged about the high fees the company charges fans at its venues, joking in internal messages that the company is
"robbing them blind" and that "these people are so stupid" that "I almost feel bad taking advantage of them."
In a series of chats from 2022, Ben Baker and Jeff Weinhold, two regional directors of ticketing for Live Nation amphitheaters, boasted about their ability to raise so-called "ancillary fees" - like parking, lawn chair rentals and VIP access - and still get concertgoers to pay for them. In one exchange, Weinhold gloated about raising VIP parking costs at a Virginia concert venue to $250.
"These people are so stupid. I almost feel bad taking advantage of them," Baker wrote, adding later, "I gouge them on ancil prices."

You know that physics explanation for why chargers always tangle, that there are far more possible configurations where they're tangled than where they're not? Similarly, I think there are far more ways to screw something up than there are to keep it working.

The fact that I have heard almost identical stories from Native students from probably every single ivy league college is so damning. Often the same claimβ€”β€œwe can’t find someone to assess your knowledge” what they mean is they can’t find someone w a PhD and fluency in the Indigenous language

When you have no ideology, I guess you can't really say anything that has meaning.

"partisan centrist vision on the left"

"who overperform to craft a strong, robust, and vibrant centrist faction"

Random word generation at its finest.

CONCLUSIONS
In our sample of 650,173 COVID cases among active-duty military personnel, a total of 278,278 were identified as having post-COVID-19 syndrome (42.8%). Of these, 273,405 reported post-COVID symptoms in at least two visits (42.1%). Our findings showed that the top three symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome in military personnel are related to pulmonary, neurological, and fatigue issues. Mild to moderate cases of this syndrome could leave military personnel with long-term deficits in their overall fitness and readiness. This readiness is a critical aspect of military effectiveness, ensuring that personnel can respond rapidly and decisively to threats. Thus, continued assessment and potential treatments are needed to assist active-duty military personnel to improve their overall health outcomes.

Oh look, the πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ military concludes over 40% of COVID infections lead to Long COVID, among a population sample that is all adults, & on average in better physical condition & younger than the national/global population.

AI cameras are everywhere β€” and people are paying the price for their mistakes Flock Safety's license plate readers are used by police in thousands of communities. When the cameras make mistakes, the consequences can be severe.

2 years ago Brandon Upchurch was pulled over at gun point in Ohio, violently mauled by a police dog, and wrongfully arrested after a Flock camera misread his truck’s license plate number flagged the plates as stolen. Brandon is far from alone: www.businessinsider.com/flock-safety...
