They've been trying this for decades in Australia. The so called red-unions.

The red unions have never won a bargaining agreement. Have never even won a seat at the table. They've never even won the right to have representatives in the workplace. They're openly sponsored by bosses to muddy the waters and divide actual unions. They are unregistered and undemocratic.

Despite the fact they've never done anything for their members they claim to have 18,000 members. Mostly anti-vaxxers.

I use an RSS app called Feeder, and Lemmy. I find I go back to The Conversation a lot as I find it covers topics in a calm tone of voice and with a level of academic rigor that I appreciate.

Australian companies like Alumina won't have any problems selling their product elsewhere. But feels weird that nobody is talking about how this broke AUSFTA. Are there no consequences for backing out of fully ratified international agreements?

The correct answer. The perfect duology.

Love watching the oligarchs take over...it's nowhere near as subtle as I thought it was going to be.

The issue is when you refuse to engage in the legal process at all you lose the right to find compromise. It's the same reason Alex Jones was defaulted.

Democracy manifest!

Disgusting

I agree. But the problem comes when the investors want to start to see a return. Just look at the state of the tech industry now. Consider the failure of second sight and how it's left people with brain implants that no longer function.

I agree the tech looks promising and we are going to need a lot of adaptation solutions but right now theyre being funded in order to take advantage of the serious cost to society and with the need for returns those costs will only spiral upward. This will be especially obvious when we consider that it is the poorest communities who are most affected by climate disasters. The richest people will get adaptation. The poorest will get refugee status.

By relying so heavily on private solutions governments abdicate responsibility and communities get left to pick up the pieces.

Remember the good old days when Australia's closest thing to pizza was a quiche with tomato sauce on top.

The massive amount of work that goes into a modern AAA title is truly mind blowing. It's gross that so little money goes to the people who actually make the games but certainly the effort is astounding even in titles that fall short of expectations.
