The US has laws that bans paying for blood, but they can pay for plasma. All healthcare in the US is a for profit venture.
If you donate blood in the US, you are the only one in that process who is making a donation. Every other organization in the chain between your donation and the patient who receives it will add a markup for their own profit.
Organ donations work the same way. If you get killed by a car, and your heart is used to save someone’s life, they will be charged nearly two million dollars for the operation. Not only does your next of kin not get a cut of that two million, your estate will still get a bill for whatever treatment failed to save your life.
I can think of little that is more unethical than being the only one donating. Plasma is better because the donors are paid. If healthcare is for profit, at minimum the profits should go both ways. Plasma is the one time it does.
Hold my wallaby I’m going in
This has been solved by modern technology.
Mirrors in the olden days were made with silver, and because silver is the good pure metal it refuses to reflect the evil vampires, hence the lack of reflection.
Modern mirrors lack silver so they will reflect vampires just like everyone else!
Sounds like you want trademark reform.
There are basically no requirements for maintaining trademarks. If a company owns a name they can use that name and branding forever, no matter how false it becomes, no matter how much the business or product changes, they can keep the name. This shouldn’t be the case.
If an ice cream company is named after their two founders, the company shouldn’t be able to keep using their names after they’re no longer involved. But under current laws they can.
A glass company can build its reputation on making heatproof glass, then change the glass so its no longer heatproof, while still selling it under the same name. This is unjust.
Companies should be forced to rebrand upon major changes. Current trade mark laws are fundamentally misleading.
How does public facing statements make trans people vulnerable? Legislation is the power of legislators.
Being quiet about an issue during the campaign makes little difference if they are supportive in office.
Being strategically quiet during a campaign is a good strategy, if only they were smart enough to use it on even more divisive issues, like the genocide.
Pride month. It should be a federal holiday.
Annoy your congressmembers until they write a law. Its the only way. Car companies won’t stop, touchscreens are cheaper to install than buttons.
Tim Cain worked on the original fallouts, fallout 1 and 2. He has not been credited in the series since. The fallout series has passed through the hands of many others, who may have included a critique of capitalism as a theme.
If you’re interested in Tim Cain’s ideas on capitalism, he was the director of the outer worlds, which is far more focused on capitalism much more directly than fallout ever was.
Capitalism ≠ commerce. Trade exists under nearly all economic systems.
Get an old color laser printer, that is not aimed at the home market. Get whatever boring printer box your local library has. Toner stores very well, and it takes almost a decade for a normal person to print an office sized amount of toner.
To do that you will need a separate scanner. Most desktop printer/scanners are aimed at home users where they do much more of the, “cannot scan low magenta.”
I don’t like most western RPGs because all the enemies are sponges. You can’t sell weapon upgrades if the weapons are already balanced.
Western RPGs often have interesting systems like speech and other noncombat abilities. This is what keeps me coming back to RPGs despite everything. But upgrades are done with the same currency, so investing in speech means underinvestment in the manditory combat making it even more unpleasant.
I would much rather play a game about combat, movement, or speech than a game that awkwardly tries to make all three sit comfortabky next to each other. JRPGs are often more focused, so I do prefer them, a bit.
The pianist, Jayson Gillham is an international soloist. He is not a member of the orchestra. He was hired to play one weekend in Melbourne. He’s scheduled to play in many other places with many other orchestras in the coming months. He’ll be fine.
Its doubtful he even lost any money from the canceled shows in Melbourne. A professional soloist with legal council wouldn’t sign a contract with a clause allowing the orchestra to unilaterally terminate the contract without pay. Beyond force majeure, you have to pay for concerts canceled at the last minute, at least in every contract I’ve read.
But who enforces the decisions made by councils? Are they chosen by lottery too?
Do they make bear yarn? If so, I want.
Why is it beamed to the metre instead of the lyrics? Is that a modern thing? I only work with old music and its always beamed to the text.
Sex work is a more respectable career than debt collector, or CEO.
ooooooopppppps someday I will learn to read

HR exists to protect the company. The people who protect you is your union. If your workplace does not have a union, be aware that is a solvable problem.
