The same thing happened here in Alberta, the brief interlude of a centrist government a few years back, made it so farm hands had to be covered by basic safety codes all other workers are allowed and they freaked out and threw a hissy fit. They even got an exemption so their family farm hands would remain exempt from basic safety protections.

Oh and the starting inspecting the housing offered for the farm hands and told them no you cannot shove 16 workers into a tiny work shed, with threats of deporting then if they talk.

I don't know the actual name, but in my history class (the great patriotic war) we watched a soviet era law film about a defence lawyer being chosen for a show trial, I think set during the 30's) and how he tries to treat it seriously and defends his client and does everything right and gets evidence his client is innocent (obvious given it's a show trial) and runs smack into the authorities who, I can't remember the ending, I don't think he dies or gets punished for trying too hard, but his client definitely gets the wall.

I want to say the name was something like "defence lawyer 'insert Russian name here'".

I can't even remember if it was good, but it didn't seem actively bad. If anyone can figure out the title that'd be cool, it was over 15 years ago when I got my degree and it was just like a soft class the professor gave us during term paper round up so I have such vague memories of it.

Edit: I looked myself and it appears to be "My Friend Ivan Lapshin". Edit edit: it may not be this, it seems vaguely possible but it's too hard to identify as this doesn't have anything to do with the lawyer angle, but is set in time period I recall.

Work has completely drained me the past few weeks so I'm lucky if I have the energy to put like thirty minutes into ZZZ.

Then I usually zone out and try to watch a let's play of the nonary games (virtues last reward currently) and fall asleep about twenty minutes in and have to spend ten minutes finding what I remember before I passed out.

I'm trying to finish dragons dogma 2, basically still enjoying randomly wandering and leveling and killing monsters and such.

I'm trying to start persona 5 since I got it for free ages ago and I'd like to play through one of them.

I did manage to to finally finish tears of the kingdom after like 400 hours. Pretty good final boss and such. The ending was typical Zelda shit but it is expected.

I wish I wasn't falling asleep by like 7pm but I just can't seem to maintain my energy past that point anymore.

Nice of you to stop by and offer us some unprompted advice that we've totally never heard before.

Causally reading my city's subreddit and the really just jumped out as I was reading a story about police recovering alot of stolen items from one homeless guy. The usual, "oh why can't we solve this?" Without any clue, suggestions of more police, more mental health institutions, except the heavily down voted guy who said the obvious "give them homes!" That pissed off all the people who I assume are threatened by people having safe places to live.

The thing that really broke my brain was a heavily upvoted comment about how we really need to set these bad folks straight, you know break them through work, and literally wrote out "work shall.set them free". And I'm done with my local subreddit for a long while now. 50 upvotes, the guy who calls it out as being a fucking literal Nazis concentration camp motto is down voted and I can't even anymore.

Unsurprisingly over on you had dork gamers decrying the developer for denying the profits to the IP owner. Like literally arguing that the game would not have been made if publisher has not provided funding... But like it definitely wouldn't have been made if the developer hadn't made it. Some people are so far gone.

Well let's be clear about the tech they use. It's too slow to dynamically change based on who is shopping. The labels typically use eReader type displays which only update periodically for price updates. Need a 2450 cell battery that can last about 6 months with a single price change a week. Changing the prices more often drastically drains the battery life. And they require constant vigilance to make sure they haven't just randomly turned themselves off (seriously sometimes they randomly forget what price they should be showing).

I guess what I'm saying is if you want to ruin one of these stores those labels are expensive as fuck so bring a small jewelry kits and destroy as many as you can to fucking ruin a stores bottom line because no way in hell head office will approve sending out another thousand labels so they'll be forced to go back to paper labels.

Oh my god there is some delicious lib takes in r/politics post. Lamenting what was done to the kindest greatest president grandpa ever.

Get in line

Also an over reliance on data from averages which basically buries the truth that most people aren't seeing any benefit from anything. They continue to trot out wage growth being high but never seem to cite the data that proves it. Because it's damning, with it overwhelming coming from rich wage earners commanding higher wages while poor working class continue to not see any gains at all unless they have a union, in which case Biden is not given credit because he didn't do shit, the workers did that for themselves and Biden wants credit for workers striking while Biden offer striking workers contempt at best for daring to slow down his economy.
