2/ Low pay. Wage theft. Dangerous work. Forced labour. Discrimination. Insecure jobs. This isn’t accidental. Today’s food systems are built around keeping labour cheap and workers disempowered.
Exploitation is rife across the entire food chain - fishing, farmworkers, meat processing workers, school meals, food service workers, delivery drivers

For my ENG speaking followers Unprecedented High School blockades began in the outskirts of Paris in Créteil on the 21st of Sept. National mobilisations followed on the 29th of September, the 1st and the 6th of October. The movement is ongoing and has spread both in scope and scale. #tippingpoint

James in no way guilty of this but there is a type of journalist who likes to report the 'authentic countryside' by speaking to to three farmers, one estate owner, and five gamekeepers. Rural Britain is also the guy that runs the vape shop and the fella who set up the Indian restaurant in 1973.

Best part of this muddled article by one of Bloomberg's money guys is that two of the charts make a compelling case that knee-jerk opposition to AI is wholly justified because technological progress doesn't increase productivity, it just enables greater income extraction by capital. Oops!

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

the Heroic Protector Fantasy is rarely of real use to women, it's just wish fulfillment about male posturing and it frequently exacerbates violence it's also much easier to imagine yourself kicking the ass of an obviously villainous stranger than to to actually intervene where you have influence

Absolutely depends on local populations. And admittedly there was less choice in a rural school of 200 before online learning. My son graduated from the largest high school in our city - 1600 students. I can't speak to big cities like Toronto though.

Condemnation is pure hot air if in the next breath you’re telling everyone you’re doing your best to give the fascists what they want, just without the masks
In fact, these are scenes we have not seen on British streets. Immigration needs to be deal with, I will be the first to say that and we are dealing with it. The boat crossings have been halved since six years ago, net migration is down massively.
