There's a HUGE lobbying effort to convince the people in power that this is a good idea. Lots of tech-surveillance companies bidding for this to go through, so everyone is forced to use their services. You think identity theft is bad now? Wait until you need to put your ID on the internet and that gets leaked.
Immediate impact:
- wealth tax.
Medium term:
- death tax.
- nonprofit land developments.
- redefinition of the goal of a public corporation from maximizing profit for shareholders to something that makes sense.
Long term:
- effective antitrust legislation, policy, and enforcement.
- worker owned co-ops
- civic education
Edit: I forgot unions and labour protection in immediate impact.
The Canadian conservatives are in bed with the AfD. They hang out. https://newsie.social/@LALegault/111797431037370877
One of the people in that photo is Leslyn Lewis, who ran for the leadership of the federal conservative party the last time around and was touted as "a moderate". Hahaha.
I'm lucky enough to not be on regular medication anymore, but some of my as-needed meds cost $140 without insurance. It's pretty steep.
Layoffs are a thing. Do people just die if they can't afford their meds? I know several people who are staying in their soul crushing jobs because of the benefits. Precarious contract work and part time workers don't get benefits.
We need pharmacare for all.
Bandcamp was sold off without the unionized employees. If you're doing this to be pro-labour, you can't really support Bandcamp right now.
This was a tough read. In a supposedly affirming article, why would you mention the 88% detransition success rate multiple times when you're going to bury the fact that the study has methodological flaws at the very bottom of the article in tiny footnotes?
Do trans people not face enough systemic barriers?
I left Reddit with the API fiasco and never looked back. Happier without it.
Well, it's /r/Canada, which is just a right winged mod-controlled shit hole. All the progressives went to /r/onguardforthee a long time ago.
It's that same sovereign nation's acting chief asking for a DNA test. It's between them now.
Pro tip: for the workday applications with the manual forms, I have a separate file I upload without formatting that perfectly fills out the forms in the fields they want, then I upload a formatted resume.
I haven't tried it yet, but I met one of the food scientists who work here.
The big thing about what they're doing here is that they're not extruding the product, so you can actually have customized textures in your food that mimick structures and textures in animal protein. Think a slab of steak with marbling vs a hot dog or a hamburger patty.
It's a huge next step towards great meat alternatives. It might not be perfect yet, but that's only a matter of time.
