Low-frequency electromagnetic fields can degrade collagen, weaken tendons, and cause soft-tissue damage at levels regulators call "safe."
We have a real world case study proving this:

This actually isn't the worst I've seen. I read last year about an app used to assign shifts to nurses and other healthcare professionals, which draws their credit score data from Experian, and then uses that to calculate how much to offer per shift.
Essentially, the lower the credit score, the more desperate to make money the nurse is deemed, and the lower the pay they are offered. I mean it is one thing to do this gamified capitalism bullshit to delivery drivers and Ubers, but it is another thing entirely to turn payment for lifesaving healthcare professionals into the Hunger Games.
And once I understood that capitalism has no safety rails and no adults in the room, and the animating philosophy of the rich white men behind it has not changed one single bit since they used to farm free labour and call human beings "property", I abandoned the idea of negotiating with it or reforming it.
It really is just a stupid system invented by white men who would happily turn off the sun if doing so would boost their Q3 EBITDA 15%.
The ability to buy lots of goods cheaply and therefore feel rich has been key to pacifying the American people so I think it is a very interesting experiment to take that away! We will find out whether Americans prefer to do strenuous manufacturing or sit at home in cheap luxury!
@NINtendo_maya It's out of print, but you can read all about it in exhaustive detail in the 1988 book Outrageous Conduct: Art, Ego, and the Twilight Zone Case by Stephen Farber. Checked it out of the NYPL this summer and it was a fascinating read.
This glorious son of a bitch right here. You probably don’t know his name but you do know he’s been making everything he appears in better since forever.
