I feel like there should be a law about people having to work in a warehouse where it looks like it's on fire because of all the concrete dust in the air.

I mean there is, I'm pretty sure in that circumstance the employer at the very least has to provide lung protection.

The existence of a law about it doesn't mean the workers are in any position to actually ensure it's enforced though.

E: I can't find anything interesting about 1757 or 262 so have a cute tax:

Oh sure, just find it funny in a not very funny kind of way that they've been stuck in there about a week at work :v:

Dust masks won't do poo poo unless they're proper valved ones, but a respirator would be better.

Yeah, as long as it's just normal concrete dust from drilling/demolition even one of those little surgical masks will be good enough as long as you don't have pre-existing conditions. If it's *cement* dust then a proper respirator (and eye protection) is required.

The more controversial the decision the more the judges will want to be sure they have covered their reasoning really really well. This decision will maybe be a little bit controversial however it is decided.

If they hadn't started their deliberations it's all in the air still. They just want to know how to move forward if a particular decision is made - that's got no bearing on whether or not that's going to be the outcome.

Ireland Simpsons Fans may have made a political party. Is this memes? Who knows. I actually don't know enough about Irish politics to say whether they'd make any headway amongst ironic teens disaffected with mainstream politics.






https://metro.co.uk/2019/09/19/ireland-simpsons-fans-started-political-party-give-voice-politically-homeless-10772665/

I don't know if this is going to split votes on the left, or if the left in Ireland is already so terrible that this may represent the great new hope. So far their content is migrants = good, landlords = bad, trans = good, tans = bad. They're 4/4...

The Irish left is split between Solidarity and PBP (two trotty parties in an electoral alliance), the social democrats, Labour (unreconstructed third way tendancy) and a handful of left leaning independents - together they command about 10% of seats, we recently lost two of the most high profile left affiliated independents who won Euro seats and thus by-elections are scheduled to replace them but I'd be surprised if those where filled by like minded individuals as that's a straight one winner race and a lot of their appeal is personal.

Then of course there's SF with about 13% of the seats and the Greens who are currently on 2 but expected to take more next election - how you want to place them on a left right spectrum is up to you but left leaning for sure.

Don't really see where the Simpsons party is gonna win seats tbh

It's the latter, in that the left in ireland isn't particularly strong. Not sure if this will change that but I admire their policy so far and they've stated on Joe that at worst they're in it to ridicule the right and try to steal their seats.

Aye it's a joke but too many people are already taking it fecking seriously

Also it rams home the arm's length disengagement from actual existing party politics I often get frustrated at with Irish people who love a good moan about no party appealing to them while tactically ignoring the actual quite good SocDems and at least decent Solidarity-PBP
