@morgvanny @jfischoff @seldo We do everything we can to brush off police violence in this country. This just gave an easier way to do it. But we've also heard that the CHILD shouldn't have been playing with a TOY gun. It's rarely about the TRAINED officer's responsibility to the public.

@dallro1 @Milz_Tea @callmesairyn @C_Angel_M @ask_aubry I mean it *is* labor but it’s also a labor of love.

Except he doesn’t really love them all that much if he isn’t willing to be minorly unconvinced to help in an emergency.

9/ Governments will have fewer workers to tax, and will need to spend more on healthcare services.

This is unsustainable. It is also incredible to me that the negative economic effects of a mass-disabling event need to be spelled out.

[Conor Browne @brownecfm]

7/ - Therefore, as time passes, the percentage of the population disabled by Covid sequelae will inevitably and inexorably increase.

Since people who are disabled may be unable to work full-time, or unable to work at all, the available workforce will inexorably decrease.

In the US in the year 2000, cancer was the number one cause of death in only two states: Alaska and Minnesota. Cancer is now the leading cause of death in twenty-two states https://t.co/yEaFHusBVt

i really hate that i have fallen into the generational trap of fearing the younger generation. but the amount of conservativeness, puritanism and just straight up unfocused anger towards sex and queer people outside their world view i see in gen z is extremely disturbing.

@OrCloneThereof @StarkCo @ask_aubry That’s not having a place. That’s “is mom dying?” That’s “dad doesn’t love me as much as the new baby” That’s angry scared adults probably not being as quiet in convos from the other room as they think.

It absolutely can ruin the relationship in one incident.

[Nym @lazyriver52]

@OrCloneThereof @StarkCo @ask_aubry New sibling resentment is pretty common. It’s esp ratcheted up when dad tells you you can’t come home bc of the new baby & your mom is in the hospital for an emergency & you don’t know for how long & you’re bouncing between an overcrowded aunt’s house & stepdad’s parents.

@DreTop1a @ask_aubry And the only explanation for still wanting 50/50 is … money. Not that he wants to be in their lives.

0% chance this ends happily.

Class, like many around city, has kids with health issues and family members at home with medical issues too.

Covid mitigation is a personal choice now rather than a public health concern. But how can families make choices when information is withheld from them? 3/

[Nym @lazyriver52]

@blueravenart @Kate_Kelly_Esq Yeah. I guess my thought was if you can literally see the posting for another persons pay then 1) they’re probably not a company forbidding it and 2) you can compare already anyway.

[Nym @lazyriver52]

@bizijosh @planning_troll @Kate_Kelly_Esq While I don’t doubt they’re paying the least they can get away with (all companies are) I sincerely doubt you can pin it on this policy. Maybe the highest earners are lower and lower are higher. But that’s a good thing if that’s whole budget and equal skills/work.

[Nym @lazyriver52]

@bizijosh @planning_troll @Kate_Kelly_Esq Really? I would think if they wanted to do that they’d just not advertise the salary. Plus paying minimum is how you tend to get gendered and racial pay gaps, often from variable negotiation practices and reception of the same.

[Nym @lazyriver52]

@colleen__may @lynnearnold @Kate_Kelly_Esq You might think listing pay, city, work, hours would mean only people who want that for a job apply but that’s not been my experience at all.

Applications can open and close fast and be sent in so quickly they often get batch filled and only reviewed after someone hears back.

[Nym @lazyriver52]

@colleen__may @lynnearnold @Kate_Kelly_Esq I have clearly listed pay, work hours/days, work city/location, and central tasks on job descriptions—all of which were cited as a reason someone withdrew after I confirmed the app via email.

Following up like that instead of at an interview saves both their time and mine.

[Nym @lazyriver52]

@blueravenart @Kate_Kelly_Esq True! But posting a flat wage vs range in the job listing and refusing to negotiate is pretty transparent also. Everyone knows/will know what the new person is hired at.

The job is worth $X in time and work, if you qualify that’s what we pay you is a decent way to avoid it too

[Nym @lazyriver52]

@bizijosh @planning_troll @Kate_Kelly_Esq @planning_troll’s employer is acting badly/commonly but the one the OP applied to is not acting in bad faith here.

Maybe they need to budget more (idk without knowing the details but often NPOs do) but maybe the applicant is just not a good fit at that stage of her career.

[Nym @lazyriver52]

@bizijosh @planning_troll @Kate_Kelly_Esq This person’s required salary doesn’t align with the position she applied for. Which is fine. She can try negotiating (they explained *before an interview wastes her time* that isn’t their practice) or withdraw (she did).
