Hmm.. I'm worried about her mental health. Cool that she's found a technical solution, but be careful it's not medical or something else as well.

Old Jamaican saying: Health is wealth, no health, no wealth.

Fitting, really, to be a dream to meat.

That's an option. People generally put their jobs directly at risk when they don't have much other opportunity for improvement. Do you know something they don't?

If enough people refuse to return to work, output shrinks, never mind the damaged reputation of the company. And reputation counts, would you work at Walmart expecting a positive experience? Shrunken output means purchasers will start looking elsewhere to meet their needs, further damaging that employer.

Scale it up to a state level. Things get much more complex, the web of supply/demand gets both more complex... But also provides more options. This protest is likely going to get officials to look into things like self-sufficiency where possible vs import, considerations of how to better apply taxes to keep said officials out of jeopardy, and so on.

None of this is simple, nor are solutions straightforward. My point, and worker's in general, is that people want to be able to afford basic staples for a fair amount of work, and if the people aren't getting their end of the bargain, the "owners" have very limited time to get with the program or things will change.

They're made out of meat.

Having worked for a municipal water system, no, they are not incompetent when engineers are at the helm. Corruption I saw was related to giving small incidental work to friends, some weird politics sometimes, but that was about it.

More importantly: everyone understood our job wasn't to make money, we were foundational to our city's livelihood & health, that of our neighbors, our mother's and brothers. Quality was job 1, and I really do mean that. Could we have moved faster and for less money? Maybe. But I'm glad we picked doing the job right over doing it fast.

I see this is difficult to comprehend.

What does hurting the production owner's income do?

... People having enough to buy food? Why yes, it does.

A fuckin jbox and outlet and plate will sum to about $15. Breakers cost more than that.

Wow, very ahead of its time in some ways. Thanks for sharing this!

No this is great

Cool, but how about some examples, pictures, ideas? I agree with the article otherwise.

Why is there such an obsession with immigration?

Do you want to pick strawberries? It's back-breaking and sucks.

E: thanks for all the replies. I wrote this while pissed about the results, it was supposed to be rhetorical.

At this point, work on helping immigrant friends and neighbors however you can, whether by helping with immigration paperwork or "other"methodologies.
