Yeah, because those companies totally disclose their use of foreign labor and shitty wages. Blaming the consumer is such a corporate tactic. Laws need to be passed at the supply side, not the consumer side. Consumers will nearly always choose the cheaper option and of you want real change you need to change the choices available. I mean, do you take the same attitude toward climate change? Why don't we all just stop using gas cars, buy only sustainably sourced food, and buy only products that are made with low emissions? Because it's not feasible for most people. They don't disclose the emissions involved in every product you buy anyway. Only with government initiative will we make any real changes, and the same applies to this meme above. If we stepped in and saved American manufacturing sooner it wouldn't have gotten this bad. Just like how our individual choices are a mere drop in the ocean of emissions since corporations (supply side) make up the super-majority of emissions, we need supply side changes, not blaming individual consumers as if you would even be able to change most people's minds.

I've seen firsthand ABA help plenty of high intensity Autistic children. When a kid is maturating in class constantly or doing tons of self harm, you need to try psychological methods to change that behavior. The equivalent of gay conversion therapy? I have never seen such a whackadoodle take.

The author, Bret Stephens, inherited his fortune from a chemical company his parents built. Just for context as to why he defends a sleezy multi-millionaire

Everyone who has their pipes freeze that I've asked said you have to set it to 60 if you really don't want to risk it to freeze.

Its to show the actual reality of what you're asking fort once you make it inconvenient for people to clean up their messes by being territorial over a literal trash can, uhh smell?? Presumably, this guy doesn't leave dog shit around and neither do I. You got wooshed

Actually dumb NIMBY-esque take. Surprised to see this on lemmy, but not that surprised. It's trash going in the trash dude. You're complaining about a problem with the trash can itself, and only if someone's dropping it in an empty container. And you really think you should be so territorial over your trash. Get real.

This is blatantly false. I don't like it, but it most certainly happens at other countries and not just a US phenomenon. I'll paste some proof: https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/sports/brazil-police-sniper-nearly-shot-officer-during-world-cup-opening-1.1889183? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9692301/Greenpeace-apologise-Euro-2020-stunt-horror-left-two-injured.html https://sports.ndtv.com/euro-2020/snipers-were-ready-to-shoot-parachutist-at-euro-2020-match-minister-2465542/amp/1 https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/feb/01/france-biggest-security-operation-six-nations-stade-italy

Also, this isn't even how they do it. It was an ad for the tripod basically, and it wasn't loaded. They use binoculars and not the rifle for scanning. https://deadspin.com/those-super-bowl-sniper-photos-are-real-5883525/

Hate to be that guy but also hate misinformation so had to chime in.
