My nephew did in fact work for chik fil a part time after draft dodging Russia to go to college here He works at McDs now So like to settle the score: cfa pays quite quite a bit more, theoretically, but they will give you one shift every other tuesday that's hypothetically 2-5 but realistically 2-whenever you get done cleaning the bathroom thanks, here's your 3 dollars for the week, and why are you always in "class" when we try to call you in? McDonald's will at least give you a schedule of decent hours, and work with your other obligations like school so you don't gotta be like "yeah boss my schedule has been the same all semester" Obviously neither is good, but McDonald's makes the other look like poo poo. If the owners didn't already. e: the ideal is everyone gets a living wage and nobody has to wage slave for an education, but you know,

Dubar posted:Poor people work at mcdonalds and being poor is a moral failure. Chik fil a likely doesn't pay appreciably more, but hating gay people is virtuous enough to overcome their other failings. I think it's more because you rarely hear about or see memes about CFA loving up your order. Meanwhile, it's a well-worn trope that McDonald's will give you two top-halves of a bun with a slice of cheese and call it your egg McMuffin, usually captioned with "And these people want $15 an hour, heh" So the implication is that the McDonald's manager would be dumb and incompetent and run a CFA into the ground.

Well yeah, they've never had to work multiple part time jobs to make rent so they have no frame of reference for how little that actually is. (also they just don't loving care and think fast food workers are subhuman) Love that we don't have a caste system in this ol' freedom lovin' USA!

I have zero sympathy for corporations who whine that "nobody wants to work anymore". They are the authors of their own dilemma. Decades of "the customer is always right" philosophy taught a subset of the population that if they bitch and complain enough, and take all their frustrations out on low wage workers, they'll get whatever they want handed to them on a silver platter by managers (either because they have no spine or simply don't want to deal with karens). Now people understandably don't want to work (or return to work) for these lovely jobs for no pay, no benefits, and abuse from entitled customers. And of course they don't.

I was out side service clerk for a gas station in Oregon, and was pumping gas in gale winds, literal feet of rain, 100+ temps, -20f where my breath froze to my face, walking 10-12 miles a day. The Fake happy I was forced to do, the rear end in a top hat people I had to deal with, the bullshit of bosses telling me to figure out who was stealing.. when it was THAT BOSS.. im in therapy, at least trying it, and trying to get social security disability on a mental because its caused me decades of depression, anxiety, pain, for a job that was not worth it. I havent held a job more than 2-3 months in 6 years. my last i quit on day two cause i saw some other worker in pain and limping and all that came back to me and i quit. gently caress yes people dont want to work anymore. Work sucks rear end. I thank God Oregon pays for my medicine, doctors and food as a penniless poor who managed to get my case worker to put me on disabled food stamps.

Lucky for me, I was in an area where the air did not stagnate. Unlucky for me, there was a constant 15-20mph wind off the ocean beating the poo poo out of me every day. There are talks of allowing partial self serve here. Retailers are having problems keeping people for the poo poo jobs and the state is looking at relaxing restrictions.

Imagine a country on a normal day and how the operation is ran. Then one day they do the same thing they've done every four years since its inception because their Constitution requires it - they have an election, and it clearly shows a majority actually doesn't think the country is running well so they hire another person. This is what happened to our country.

And those viruses are particles made by the dying cell, so he's almost there! I wonder what he thinks about the model virus that everyone who studies any biology (which he claims to have done) knows about, the tobacco mosaic virus. The virus that, iirc, proved that there was an infectious agent small enough to pass through glass frits and ceramic filters, invisible under the optical microscope, and able to cause infectious disease. Too much plant divorce in 1890s society?

o poo poo someone did go after the entirety of TMV research to attempt to discredit virology as a field, and on top of that quotes a bunch of Dr. Divorce Dad, PhD (Prediction hedge, Denied) in the middle too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G3JbbaGhqc Look at all these losers back in the past doing uncontrolled experiments and declaring results from them. I bet you could easily win a Nobel Prize from overturning those selectively quoted results. I wouldn't bet $100k though.

Yeah, unfortunately too many of the people nodding along will probably end up going down a "well if viruses don't exist, what makes people ill? Immorality! Which is why we need a radical theocracy and closed borders" wingnut hole, or at least an Alex Jones shaped "government putting chemicals in the water, scrap the government (replace them with the theocratic extended family and closed borders (also buy my supplements))" one. Or the most mild case you don't vaccinate your kids and then there's a measles outbreak and the immunocompromised kid down the street dies.

Also a lot of it is just deliberately confusing cause and effect and muddying the waters. It is possible that science has misunderstood something crucial about the nature of viruses, it's even possible (but exponentially more unlikely the more you add) that several of these assumptions are incorrect. But we've known about epidemics for millennia before we knew about self replicating pathogens. We knew about variolation, inoculation, quarantine, clean air, the secret ritual of netilat yadayim, and many other things long before that. "We were wrong about this one particular way that RNA/protein shells/droplets work" doesn't refute vaccines or masks, it just might help us make better ones.

A lot of people have trouble with the idea that you should stick to the current understanding of science (and especially medicine) even though there is a long history of doing so being at best a waste of time, and at worst actively harmful. The idea that the entire system can be flipped upside down and you just have to roll with it. The issue becomes when you take "we didn't realize that germs existed and then we found out they did" and go into "the results must have been faked".

That's why the stupidest part is the idea that if you go back to 'the very beginning' (i.e. tobacco mosaic as the first isolated virus) and find holes in the first studies, then the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards, checkmate. As if many of the following papers were not looking for flaws in the methodology of previous experiments. 1890s guy did experiments with 1890s technology, clearly disproves everything since.

I’ll bet a lot of this has to do with the way science is often taught at the high school level as rote memorisation of facts and not as an ongoing process. New research supplanting old research becomes “I knew those scientists were full of poo poo lol make up your minds eggheads”
