Australia has some of the tightest safety regulations and strongest unions on the planet. We are opening lithium mines left right and centre.

I have to be in the minority of sane people who enjoyed this book.

To be fair, I had no context and read the first 10 pages assuming it was satire. The rest of the experience was bizarre. In the first chapter the main character ignores the advice of the train employees and orders the train to run despite the signal being red. It’s touted as taking responsibility when none else would. Utterly insane to me that someone who had been out of the area for decades, making management level decisions, would decide they know better than the worker on the ground who does the job daily. The contempt and arrogance leading to destruction - a great critique of management structure and survivor bias. How is it not satire?

Through the looking glass with a self important free capitalist narcissist, with almost no experience of the world and commerce outside their bubble, self hating tirade against perceived inability. Fascinating stuff

Its more common than people think

Are we interpreting the humor as the absurdity of asking identity questions on a form for no reason OR silly trans, there be only two genders?

Up / down vote me respectively, I am curious how often these sort of posts appeal to all sides of the spectrum with different groups interpreting he humor.

Oh, I thought we were discussing mastodon’s sex work community, not rando ad-bots

Sex work is real work.

Independent workers should be able to compete with larger corps under their own conditions.

Yay fediverse

Again, as my view is supported by society, the medical, and the scientific community I do not need to provide proof. The burden of proof lies with you

Hello, this is Australia, we would like our sovereignty back now

Who is running this bizarre metaanalysis?

COVID was never an issue for young healthy adults.

Extraordinary claims. Could you provide evidence the vaccination program resulted in a net negative health outcome for the 15-35 age group?

Additionally, I like my grandma, please don’t murder her through a lack of societal conviction.

Oh no, the open source community who worked together to create a great ecosystem for free and fto the benefit of all, in the face of data greedy capitalists are commies!

Save me from these sexy FOSS anticapitalists

Y’all are making some weird arguments based on not much.

Let’s have a look at TB as a marker for prison population health. It will exist for a long time without killing someone and will spread quickly in poor conditions.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2667(21)00049-9/fulltext

Now I accept the argument on relative abundance of TB and would welcome an alternative marker.

Wut. Pfizer cominraty was well tested, all independent results since confirm the 2020 testing was accurate. The people in power were told the rate of negative side-effects. The benefit outweighed the negative; from a capital / social / utilitarian / every approach to the metric.

I question your background knowledge in the medical approval process. Your conspiracy focus’ on the wrong elements

10 years without, I agree
