We're here to do some science today. The science is how long the human body can withstand exposure to the alien zombie magics and their claws and their aggression. We have a wide variety of test subjects lined up today in all these cages so maybe today we can get a high score. Join us, won't you?
Has any political faction ever been so thoroughly discredited as rapidly as MAGA has over the last six months? Ukraine, Iran, Israel First, warmongering, Epstein â Trump has openly wiped his ass with the entire "populist" sales pitch for his re-election point by point.
Donald Trump is a Super Spy that served as a conduit to Epstein. He was created at the same time as Robert Maxwell was in very similar ways for the same ppl and purpose.

The swedes aren't allowed to be racist so now they have to offer grenade and gun shot resistant factory installed option cars. Will be interesting to check up on them in another 10 years.
I just realized this whole thing is PROBABLY a marketing ploy.
I mean, I'm sure they're actually making hardened XC90s, and I'm sure they pass the tests they say they pass, but are the people who need a hardened vehicle using a Volvo?
IMO not really.
Volvo is "luxury" in the sense of a lawyer's car, not like oligarch transport from the airport to the WEF convention. Real oligarchs will be riding in Maybach, Rolls Royce, etc and they don't mind having the car retrofitted by a 3rd party.
So is this going to sell a lot of units? IMO not really. But as a branding move, it's brilliant. Volvo, which has long been regarded as the car of a responsible father with a well paying profession, is CLAIMING to be appropriate for the monied class. People with real enemies (often deserved) and real risk of being assassinated while they leave the climate change conference.
@Hoss It's for people who *think* they're the monied class and will have to deal with the fallout of a depression in the modern era.
Think suburbanites in half-million dollar homes who are worried that The Purge will happen and that for a period of years, the trip to whole foods will be a drive through fallujah
There was going to be a whinge here about how Sentinel 65X is going to suffer from having the air sucked out of the room by Commodore, but then I slapped myself out of it because that's probably not true. People in retro don't buy just one system, they have wider interests than that.
Do you have ANY idea how incredibly privileged I am, that I get to live a life that allowed me to get PAID for making my own game console? That's literally absurd.
lol @ just one. I have Macs in every processor architecture, an Apple IIGS, a Speccy Next, tons of old consoles, and eyes on an Amiga if I can ever find one that's not more than I wanna spend... There's always room for more. đ
I suspect that the markets for "fantasy retro console" (the Sentinel 65X) and "1980s experience recreation" have substantial overlap but are not at all the same. (I guess the Ultimate 64 also has some fantasy retro console powers, but ... that doesn't feel like its -purpose-, really.)
On this occasion, I would like to prepare you for the #digital #resistance. (Part 2)
I was criticized for my last advice in view of the fact that the email account was considered too insecure as a dead drop-box. I never said that you should store unencrypted texts there.
Never trust the transport security or that the software will ensure that everything is encrypted correctly. If you encrypt yourself, you are proceeding safely and your security should be worth it when it comes to digital resistance.
However, this encryption has one disadvantage. You can be tortured into revealing your password and then it can be used to decrypt everything. Stay tuned if you want to learn more about encryption.
This is an example for you for the #password think of me all in lower characters:
Download CryptoData for Firefox. Easily and quickly to encrypt / decrypt:
Private messages via e-mail, blogs, social networks, forums, websites, images, etc
Support: Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey
You'll be tortured anyway after the bribery, flattery, and steak dinners don't loosen your tongue.
Easier to store credentials on self-destructing media. I suppose there's an obvious reason I'm missing for why it doesn't work but I always thought that printing one-time pads and credentials on quickly soluble media like Listerine strips in a dead-man switched container would be a good balance between longevity, destructibility, and usefulness.
I save my protocols on the dream stack. There are cortical nodes for most of the central values to God and man, and each of them is present in our dreams. To have something of value is one thing, but to keep it from another's access is a form of torture for the attached. Therefore, we dreamers have saved knowledge in the dream of life which we rediscover in carnation, and in need we can offer translation for dependency structures formed by certain words. These act as keys for the attached and are technically a social hack, however if you are a spiritual agent in today's age, then your connections formed with this fire in hand should be well adapted to receive the vulnerable who have been opened.

if we were playing you could ask questions and i would answer, and then you would give your answers. After 10 rounds we would swap keys and reveal who got the most points.There are rules for winning the game, you collect 1 of each type of card, value, trait, or quality and this is an EP experience point. For a group of 3 we need 1 or 2 EP, maybe 1 since it's online and text. so in this round any player who guesses my answer gets a silver coin, and if at least one guesses correctly I get the trait card (1/3 of an EP). you need 2 coins of bronze, silver, and gold to win along with an EP
Hey #Uruguay folks! I have cousins outside of Montevideo who have a complex of mental health and physical issues, and who are in food insecurity, and who have struggled to access services there. We have been sending them money for years but it's beyond our means. They need a social worker, and have failed to find one through regular channels. Is there such a thing as a private social worker who we can hire to get them into the system?
@CharlieMcHenry This is super helpful. We're also looking for help with things like accessing cash- and food-assistance (the Ollas?) - do patient navigators work on that as well?
The information that Charlie gave you is correct. I've asked my wife in case she knows anything else (I moved here 'only' 10 years ago) and she's going to ask around. I'm going to post your message translated as well to see if anybody on our instance can also help. If I get any other info I'll be sure to send it your way.
@j3j5 Thanks! We're really hoping to find someone we can pay to help them get set up with the public system, get a social worker, enroll in food and cash assistance, etc.
In case of an emergency involving homeless people in Montevideo, someone can call free number 0800 8798 or send a WhatsApp message to 092 910 000. For emergencies in the interior of the country, please call 911. If medical attention is required, the SAME (medical emergency) number is 105. From one of us take action on this we need to know their exactly location
Unlike a lot of fruits and even other berries, strawberries must be handpicked, which makes labor one of the biggest costs of doing business for farmers. Javier Lara, 43, is throwing a wrench into the uneasy accord between growers and labor.
Not to be flippant but evolution did see to it that we're really good at getting food off of trees & bushes. We have a rather meaningful several-million-year head start over the robots here.
Yum! Brands would only by from farms that had signed on to a fair food program with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. They'd pay extra for those tomatoes, and the extra $ would be passed through directly to tomato pickers as a raise.
This deal nearly doubled tomato pickers' wages.
And guess how much this big, ground-shaking deal raised the price of tomatoes?
This program was so successful, others have signed on.
McDonald's, Burger King, Whole Foods, Subway, Trader Joe's, Chipotle, Walmart, Fresh Market, & several food service co's (Compass, Aramark, Sodexo, Bon Appetit) have all agreed to pay an extra $0.01/lb for CIW tomatoes.
CIW has been incredibly successful at showing exactly how we can afford to pay farm workers a fair wage.
And certain Florida farm & food interests really, really haven't liked that. It's legitimately fueled MAGA as a political force in Florida.
Surely it's a total coincidence that Trump's first large-scale immigrant detention facility is in Florida. In easy commuting distance of the tomato fields around Immokalee
Farms usually blame "large corporations" for not paying them properly, so they're "forced" to pay poor wages.
That's why CIW made these bargains directly with the large corps. To stop farms from passing the buck and playing "Aw shucks, I'd love to pay fair wages but I can't afford to."
And you know what? It took time to get the big food corps to the table. But most of them ultimately signed on. In the end, they were a lot more amenable to proper farm wages than most of the farms.
The corps like Publix that get mad about CIW & fair farm wages, it's not bc proper farm wages will put them out of business.
It's because they get upset when ANY workers get collective bargaining wins. It's just generic anti-labor politics- not an existential threat to their business.
This is usually when I tell people "and go follow CIW (Coalition of Immokalee Workers) if you haven't already." But it looks like they're not on Mastodon.
In Britain, when I was younger, you could still work the fields for cash in hand. Do a few hours before school, a morning, a day here and there and it was a good way of earning beer money. To this day, I am still in awe of the speed of the full-time workers. I still suspect that the only thing that could move through a crop faster than them, would be a plague of locusts. I will never take agricultural workers for granted.
hey thank you I learned a lot. I had been assuming owners had a leg to stand on other than greed, because I keep failing to aim low enough in my expectations of capitalism somehow
The number of prisoners granted parole has plummeted, and prison officials force many of those inmates to work off site in a scheme that generates $450 million a year for the state, the lawsuit said.
How much you wanna bet that the cost per person in any given state is actually lower when farm workers are fairly compensated and not at constant risk of deportation, because of the cumulative effects of workers paying more in taxes but being able to access preventative healthcare vs emergency services and less spent on law enforcement and legal services?
Every time I see someone saying that basic human rights and reasonable pay would raise the price of food beyond affordability, I want to spit rivets.
Hon, an extra cent a pound isn't what's made your burger cost 2-3 times what it did twenty years ago, it's the fact that corporations will raise the price of their goods to the very limit of affordability and then keep ratcheting it, click-by-click, at every opportunity, while refusing to provide their workers a fraction of what they're worth.
More slave labour isn't going to make your food cheaper. Making sure that the ultracapitalists pay in spades for their inhumanity, now that might just do the trick.
I believe the primary thing the unions represent, and the reason why owners will fight to the death against them, is a voice for the workers. Yes, that often means fair wages, but if it was just that the owners wouldn't fight so hard against it. It's the concept that they have to talk to the workers as equals in the first place that they can't bear.
I think this is fabulous when you also combine it with Vox and probably more perfect union a few years ago reporting on the major meat, packing industry, and they are effect on ranchers at the feed lot stage.
To add to this - the Chocolate industry has a similar reckoning worldwide with chocolate farming - but some companies, after being dragged on it, realized that maybe they could just, you know, take steps to ethically source their chocolate [ reeveconsulting.com/2024/02/14⊠].
Any extra increase in wages would likely be offset by a decrease in P.R. and marketing to make people want to knowingly buy child labour-sourced chocolate.
People need to realise that farmers arent generally "the good guys" or "the humble small business" or whatever they project onto them from the books they read and movies they watch. Sure some might be, some might try to be fair to their employees.
Where i am from, farmer protests are *extremely* far-right and routinely use Nazi iconography (that is in Germany). And i've read similarly from other places. And they do inhumane exploitation.
Itâs very distressing (that âlots of farmers would just rather not pay fair wagesâ) & it makes me ask questions about farm workers in my country (Australia) where weâve had a number of scandals related to labour hire practices. đ
Thanks again for shining a light on such important topics. đ
The Florida tomato heiress sounds like a nasty pasty; mean to fund the 6 Jan insurrection & entitled as all hell but surely weâre wrong to even think this:
âSurely it's a total coincidence that Trump's first large-scale immigrant detention facility is in Florida. In easy commuting distance of the tomato fields around Immokaleeâ đ
[That was a comment dripping with sarcasm for those who donât do irony or humourâŠ]
Almost every day I see people working hard in the fields.
And every time I think: Perhaps this generation of workers won't experience the full American Dream, but among their children and grandchildren will be our nation's future Curies and Mozarts, future Twains and Spielbergs - a child of one of those workers may find a cure for cancer.
I am more than happy to pay extra $$ so that these people have a better chance of growing into (and enriching) our American culture and life, just as my great grandparents and grandparents did.
I also support UBI, free healthcare, and free education for all who are here (not just citizens.)
Many of our religions - including Islam, Christianity, Judaism - all teach us to care for the foreigner and stranger.
(I would add that we need to pull back on our national worship of advanced university degrees and note that often those who work with their hands are as skilled as a scientist with a PhD.)
If paying a fair wage to the people who put food on your table will destroy your profits, you're lying, in the wrong business, or haven't a clue about how to cut a pizza.
Thank you so much Sarah! đ for another incredibly educational, fact- & story-filled read on modern agricultural practices and workers (& those who belittle them & treat them unfairly & now meanly đ )
Thanks too for the link to the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW): so inspirational! Hard to pick a snippet to share, theyâre active in so many areas:
âStarting in 1993 from a foundation of farmworker community organizing in Immokalee, Florida, the CIW is best known today for its Fair Food Program (FFP), launched in 2011. The FFP harnesses the purchasing power of over a dozen retail food brands, from Taco Bell to Walmart, to compel compliance with a human rights-based code of conduct on participating farms. The Program was born in the Florida tomato industry and has spread to ten US states and Chile, including expansion into the cut flower industry and multiple additional crops, and incipient expansion efforts in South Africa and Mexico through the support of the US Department of Labor.[1] A new channel for co-ops and smaller independent grocery stores to support the Program is expanding through the FFP Sponsor Program.
âThe FFP also gave rise to the Worker-driven Social Responsibility model (WSR), which has been successfully replicated in the apparel industry in Bangladesh through the Bangladesh Accord (now the International Accord), in Lesotho through the Lesotho Agreements,[2] and in the dairy industry in the state of Vermont through the Milk with Dignity Program. The CIW provides technical assistance to organizations that are interested in adopting the WSR model through an umbrella organization, the WSR-Network.â
Thank you. This thread is super interesting. Do you have any recommendations for sources that go into more detail about the deal and how it went? Podcasts, interviews, maybe even the documents that were signed? I would like to learn more about it.
yeah shocking pay people and very little happens other than everyone benefits. The problem with this country is it business has gain control of the narrative with this fiction that if we pay people youâre (the consumer) gonna pay more and thatâs just not the case
Ha ha ha! Very good point: âNot to be flippant but evolution did see to it that we're really good at getting food off of trees & bushes. We have a rather meaningful several-million-year head start over the robots here.â :-đ
Why donât we value & celebrate these amazing skills (instead of bankers & financiers who you might say are doing badly, stuff that computers do better⊠nonAI-infested computers I mean⊠talking about actual maths & stuff like that here). đ
it's actually really, really hard. Vision needs to be much better than it is, picking soft things very fast, planning the lifting of obstructions to access the fruit, the picking itself with highly nonlinear mechanics, the bringing the bucket to where it needs to go on complex terrain, with moving obstacles...
oh NO, $0.75/pint in labor charges! And then all the other things probably add up to what, $0.70/pint? (No, seriously, how much is it? I would assume labor is the largest share at scale.)
A pint weighs about 10-14oz. The local grocery chain charges $5 per pound, or $7 for 2lbs in season.
To be fair I constantly see opponents of increased minimum wage do math that assumes an employee can make exactly one sandwich an hour or whatever. To their credit, it *does* make the math easier.
I mean, ultimately we need to pay for people's time. If the real actual cost of paying everyone properly doubles the costs of food, then we just need to get used to paying double.
Because the alternative is just saying our society can only work if we embrace "neo slavery". It's not reasonable to base society's food production on just not properly paying for people's time.
But yeah, after looking at the actual numbers, it wouldn't get close to doubling costs.
Y'all...in the US and Canada, you need to read the thread i'm replying to. If you're interested in just outcomes...read this thread. If you consume food...read this thread.
Gonna blow your mind totally: we've been systematically lied to by Big Ag and farm owners. I know, imagine, a huge capitalist industry lying to its consumers? Unpossible, right?
But it's true. OP has receipts. Go learn why food is expensive, and wages for food growers and pickers are cheap (hint: follow the money).
Seriously. Best thread I've read here this *year*.
Out of curiosity, what would be considered a fair wage for these types of jobs? Suppose I paid farmers $100000 a year, that would for sure jack up the price of food.
I live under the arrival and departure paths for half the private jets that fly in and out of Van Nuys, and no shocker, a lot of them are owned by Big Ag families and companies and are flying between Los Angeles and the Central or Imperial Valleys where they make their billions.
...in case people are wondering what their food budget is paying for.
(I'm guessing the passengers in those jets are pissed with Stephen Miller right now.)
Now I imagined something like this: [screaming office manager] "But if we will pay extra 3 cents per pound we will not meet wall-street expectations for profit growth for 0.0001%! [screeching]
I say pay everybody a living wage and deal with any downstream effects afterward.
Honestly, I don't understand why this is a controversial position. America is the richest nation in the world. It's a fucking disgrace that we have poverty here.
Just pay every-fucking-body a living wage. Ensure they have housing. And health care. And food. And education for themselves and their children. And connectivity. We could do it for a tenth of what we pay for cops.
and you know what can match that cost increase? Passing right to repair laws so companies like John Deer can go pound sand because they can't digitally sign tractor parts anymore. (Or whatever insane nonsense they're up to these days) competition on farm equipment repair should easily offset wage costs.
Incredible number of boosts, and deservedly so! This is an amazingly enlightening thread/essay, thank you for taking the time to write it up so thoughtfully.
people who say this shit have never worked on a farm, try picking lettuce or tomatos faster than an experienced worker... they'd have finished 5lb of food before you're done 1lb, and honestly you'd probably cut off a finger trying to keep up with them
besides that, the majority cost of many foods is processing and stuff like pre-washing/cutting/preparing, because that counts as a "value added good" they just have way higher profit margins based on nothing but convenience... paying the farm workers more wouldn't do much at all to food costs lol
@LabSpokane Here in WA, they pay cherry pickers based on how much they pick instead of an hourly rate.
Also, I recently heard some news stories about migrant pickers being afraid to come to work (because of ICE) and that with more notice, Americans could have filled the gap and picked.
Bull-fucking-shit.
I've been living and working among cherry orchards for 20 years and I have never seen an American pick cherries.
"Banning slavery would spike the cost of cotton. Nobody would be able to afford clothing."
Most of the financial value added in a farm to store chain is well past the farm. Paying a bit more at the bottom of the value chain does not raise the price much.
This would also apply to the cobalt miners in Africa, for example. Treating them a bit more like human beings would not raise the price of an EV very much.
I mean there's more labor to producing veg than just the harvest (sprouting, planting etc) But I guess it's mostly the harvest labor that's underpaid... The last post in the thread nails down the point.
you know what will double/triple the price of food is forcing medicaid people to pick it because were gonna pull about 10lbs an hour and bruise it up too, and smoke cigarettes in the middle of the tomato field.
It's always been my feeling that a nation whose economy depends on the labour of people it refuses to give the normal protections of citizenship is still a slave nation.
The biggest percentage of the cost of food is not the farmer or the workers or grocery store. It is the middle men, the shipping, the warehousing. Everything else is trivial compared to the cost of movement and storage.
Robots are only an answer for certain kinds of crops. They work pretty well for apples and oranges and some varieties of cherries. They really suck at being able to tell which tomatoes are ripe and safe to pick and which they should ignore. Picking out the more delicate fruits and being able to tell which ones are at the exact stage for harvest is a uniquely human capability. Being able to quickly pick them without bruising them is also a very difficult thing for a machine to do and very easily learned by human beings. Actually doing the work is horrible and hard, but automating it is even harder.
Poverty is arranged. Poverty is a fence drawn around people. Poverty is a construction made by wealthy folks.
Costco pays a significant amount more, for example, than its competitors. Those competitors and even unrelated corps have done everything in their power to ask, or force, Costco to lower wages, and they subverted them, and lost LOTS of money trying to undersell and ruin Costco.
Poverty is imposed. Poverty is a crime, the poor it's victims.

@Richard those buttons (1,2,3) are network objects with people (1,2) and persons (3) respectively. There's a pipeline from love to the inside of the brain, and a pipeline from hate to the outside of the brain. The substance is pneuma, but for 1 and 2 it is borne by humors, which while carrying the ectoplasm of spiritual encounters, do not themselves mediate Psyche. The psyche mediates the lower senses and the higher senses develop to experience the microcosm and the macrocosm as one. Since spirits are dark matter and so their influence for the photonic realm has to be guaged, and buttons for their words are poor surfaces, as we know from religious history.
But it may also just be buttons, although the thought strikes 4 columns slantwise to my lower left neck.
