I know I shouldn't be surprised coming from the paper that still runs stories like "Diana furious at Black Lives Matter claims psychic medium" but going full David Icke about power stations in space while at the same time hating any real partial solution like heat pumps and then slapping a cut out of BoJo's idiot mug next to their world of tomorrow bullshit as if he invented it is some kind of perfect storm of funny to me.

The Perfect Element posted:Maybe I should just take my place against the wall now, but I think the overall Airbnb experience is pretty good. Or it has been for me, anyway. You get to stay in unusual and cheap places, sometimes, and the only real function of the review system is just to weed out who the wankers are. I'm sure the experience is good for the visitor & the landlord. But if you live in a city like Edinburgh which happens to be a tourist trap you are hosed rotten, because it makes the housing crisis even loving worse. Why rent your apartment out for £550 a month (cheapest non-flatshare in the city I can find on Rightmove) when a similar property will net you £65 a night on AirBnb? Without having to worry about awkward tenants with rights & legal recourse & all that? Now, it's not a problem if we had an adequate housing supply but I'm sure you've noticed that hasn't been the case for our adult lives. If that is acceptable to you then fine, that's a personal choice, I get needing to travel last minute, but the criticism isn't about the quality of the experience but the wider effect on capitalism. If you want to "no ethical consumption under capitalism" then yeah, sure, there's not.

They still charge outrageous amounts and it was the single worst hotel experience of my life, to the point where I moved out on the first night into my 5 night stay. Hostels and real capsule hotels are far preferable to that and I've stayed in many, including capsule hotels in Asia which are pretty neat. fe: I found it; apparently they do have regular rooms but this is the "room" I had:  Yes it's just that bed and there is no appreciable ventilation or sound isolation. No windows in the room that I had either, obviously. I think the ventilation bit is the worst, it smells suffocatingly like a public bog at a festival. e: They want £120 per night for that "room without a window" for the upcoming long weekend LMBO.

I guess it'd be fair to say they're hotels for people who literally just need a roof over their head for the night, if they didn't price the rooms not much lower than a regular travelodge / airbnb room.

Mumsnet got nominated, I think most prominently by Dominic C, as an easily influenceable bellweather for middle class Tory nimbyism — a useful battleground in the culture wars. Lots of ‘concerned in MK’ and ‘I’m not racist, but…’ Looks like that might be on the change?

Slightly further from the city centre but still within walking distance. e: For the upcoming long weekend when easyhotel charge £120 per night for their windowless cabins you can get the room below for £70 per night and it will be a short walk away:

Hi goons, long time no see. I've recently gotten more active in medical politics, particularly with our doctors union the British Medical Association. At our recent conference a key motion was passed: quote:vii. immediately commence a campaign to prepare, educate and organise rank and file junior doctors with a view to balloting by Q1 2023 at the latest for industrial action including withdrawal of labour, on the demand for immediate and full restoration of pay to 2008 RPI-adjusted equivalence, in the event that such a commitment from government has not been formalised by the end of 2022 So in the next 6-9 months there's going to be a vote amongst doctors below consultant grade, to undertake industrial action. Unlike the previous utterly gutless IA this would be up to and including full withdrawal of labour. This is due to a lot of lovely factors in the job, but the real motivator here has been sub-inflation pay rises putting us about 22% below what we were paid in 2008. Hence the push for full pay restoration. The BMA is going to have to act as a proper trade union for the first time in decades. There's been a real shift in mood amongst active members, from tolerating the pay and conditions and not wanting to appear greedy or ungrateful, to us looking at the second round of IA in 10 years (I think the last IA before that was in the 70s). We even passed a conference motion asking the BMA to "recognise and apologise for its failure to protect junior doctors’ pay over this period". Year on year I've seen more and more doctors stop working in the NHS. Many of the more junior doctors are just loving off to Australia, which is just as racist as the UK but with better weather and far, far better pay and work conditions. This used to be something people would do for a bit of a 1-year sabbatical, but fewer people are returning. Those that are staying here are now working less than full time and picking up side hustles like cosmetic injection work. The outpatient care available in the NHS now is already dogshit and I genuinely don't think the NHS will provide it at all in 10 years' time. We'll provide a low quality inpatient service and all outpatient work will be private. So I suppose I'm interested to know what you guys think. I want to get out of the echo chamber I'm in and enter another. I know the media will want to monster us because the media are sickos. Do you think the public would be on side with this? Do you think it even matters?

I'm all for it (not a doctor) but then I work in the NHS and can't begrudge anyone striking. It's a hard job and deserves better and at the end of the day it is only a job. You have to find happiness outside of work. Then again, I think all active posters on that junior doctors subreddit need to be on some kind of watchlist. A lot of them are utter, utter pricks. You can easily spot the ones who have never had any kind of job before medicine. Anyway. Bit off topic, but yeah, best of luck.

I have no idea how the strike would be perceived and am certainly of the view that the press is likely to try (and possibly succeed) in painting you all as KILLING ARE GRANNIES WITH DELINQUENCY or whatever, but I don't see how people can be expected to do the job people do on the NHS without being at least loving paid for it. If people are gonna strike they're doing it for a reason. People don't just do it for fun contrary to what often gets said. So generally I'm gonna say any strike is right and good because it's a product of an environment, it's something people do because they feel they have to. You can't stop it so you might as well big up the people who are doing it.

winegums posted:Hi goons, long time no see. You will get monstered by the press, probably. But also maybe not. That 22% effective pay-cut will be compelling, especially at a time when the Gov is proclaiming how well we're recovering. Red-tops are obviously fickle but I could genuinely see a world where they don't go YOU ARE KILLING ARE GRANNIES but actually go PAY THE NURSES AND DOCTORS SO THEY DON'T KILL ARE GRANNIES THROUGH EXHAUSTION AND OVERWORK. Basically: on the one hand you've got the fash hating leftist activism. But on the other hand you have the sacred cow of the Nash. Maybe it'll be like one of those gifs of a cat with a toast-and-jam slice strapped to its back that spins into a singularity. The Express will convolute itself into a fission reaction and power the UK for decades to come as they try and untangle GOVERNMENT GUD with NHS IS DYING SO MY MAM IS DYING. Good work on getting the BMA to actually do some clinical observation and discover that a 'spine' is a thing. They've been loving gutless for way too long. e: if it wasn't abundantly clear: go on strike. 100% support that. Parents are doctors, friends are doctors, and the burnout is insane. Go on strike tomorrow if you can. (I know you can't) Jeherrin fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Jun 1, 2022 |
