Yeah, because now they have to double as house if you lose your job

Also Monday, Toyota’s Japanese rival Mazda Motor Corp. reported similar irregular certification testing, and halted production of two models, the Roadster and Mazda 2. It said incorrect engine control software was used in the tests.

Mazda, based in the southwestern city of Hiroshima, also acknowledged violations on crash tests on three discontinued models. None of the violations affect the vehicles’ safety.

Tokyo-based Honda Motor Co. also apologized Monday for improper tests, such as those on noise levels and torque, on a range of models. Honda said affected older models — the Accord, Odyssey and Fit — are no longer in production. The safety of the vehicles is not affected, it said.

Dang, did they all coordinate beforehand? When all of your countries top automakers all admit to wrongdoing on the same day… well I can’t think of punchline to this obvious set-up right now but I’ll come back to it

local U.S. municipalities are investing in Isreal war bonds? what?

I started quiet quitting after it came to light that the new hires with zero experience were being paid more than I was, someone who had been there for over a year, and already had 5 years of experience. I no longer give a shit about the company, because they made it clear they don’t give a shit about my contribution. If you want people to put in extra effort, you have to give them extra money. Once you cheat an employee, they’re not gonna get over it because of a pizza party. fucking pay them.

Found the russian troll, guys

The AP obtained records showing inmates at Marion, which houses predominantly mentally ill offenders, were hospitalized for hypothermia at least 13 times in three years during cold-weather months

Nothing to see here folks, just people who were too stupid to be a cop torturing mentally ill people under the auspice of state care. Don’t worry! nothing will happen to them.

increased money and power correlate negatively with the portion of your brain responsible for empathizing with others. The more money/power you have, the smaller that portion of your brain is. Here’s a landmark study that’s since been cited over 200 times

I’d kill for something forcing airbnb, vrbo, etc to actually cooperate.

I’ll go one step further, I’d pay taxes to the government that actually regulates shitty business practices. How is it easier to have a 12% increase in homelessness last year than it is to regulate fucking airbnb? Airbnb is not northrup grumman. It’s not allied steel. it can go the fuck away.

Well Subway, just about the only place you can get healthy fast food, only raised their prices 39%, in comparison with Popeyes and Jimmy Johns, whose prices rose 82% and 62%, respectively.

fucking citizens united. A greater legislative travesty I’ve yet to see

Ever since I visited, I’ve wanted to live in the Netherlands. I hope the situation eases so I can follow my dream without being seen as an asshole immigrant taking up space ☹️

Unless those federal protections don’t include heat protection…

There are currently no protections in the US for workers from heat. Only a handful of states such as California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Minnesota have passed any heat protections for workers.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Osha) is currently reviewing federal heat standard protections and issues fines against employers citing the general duty clause in cases where workers die due to heat stress, but worker groups have advocated that heat protections which include water, rest, shade, breaks and acclimatization are needed to save workers from heat illnesses and their lives.

Last year Governor Jim Pillen, whose family owns one of America’s largest pork companies, was widely criticized for calling a Chinese-born journalist at Flatwater Free Press a “communist” after she exposed serious water quality violations at his hog farms. Earlier this month, the Nebraska supreme court ruled that the state environmental agency could charge the same investigative news outlet tens of thousands of dollars for a public records request about nitrates.

Everywhere I look there’s a huge problem affecting all of us, and a republican doing everything in their power to make it worse.

It’s funny because he thinks that his status as a “gray” would protect him from the “reds.” just another useful idiot for fascism.

On Aug. 22, 2022, Hollis confronted Pino at a crime scene, and accused him of murdering her son. “You killed my son,” Hollis said to Pino repeatedly in Spanish, according to body camera footage. “Maybe if you did a better job, there wouldn’t be a problem,” Pino is captured saying in response.

Just another fine upstanding member of the ACAB klan

It looks increasingly unlikely that this case will be tried before the election. And if Trump wins that election, the case will likely never be tried at all.

C’mon timeline, don’t be the darkest…

Are you, like in the article, afraid of your relationships becoming transactional? Do you think that if you paid for stuff for your friends every once in a while, they would start expecting it of you, and think of you only as a means of getting this free perk?

Coming soon from Berkshire Hathaway, Meal deal of 2 pieces of cardboard, loaded with extra packing peanuts, and a small water for $18!

There’s only one thing that rich people truly fear. Becoming poor.

Once you’ve successfully convinced yourself that you’re rich because you’re exceptional, then losing money equates to being found out a fraud.

What’s weird is that it was his wifes family that initially loaned him almost a million dollars, so even if he had to declare bankruptcy, it’s not like they’d be on the street. This guys entire identity was wrapped up in his wealth. A symptom from the disease of artificial scarcity.

Man, I love the self checkout. Also didn’t they already show that rising costs everywhere WEREN’T from theft, but instead corporations artificially inflating their prices during the pandemic and then leaving it there?

Take away my self checkout, and I’ll steal out of spite
