Organ donation tied to reduced sentencing is a huge absolutely not, way too coercive.

Bone marrow donation is still probably not good, however, being someone’s match is very rare and it isn’t a permanent loss of an organ and is usually akin to donating blood in terms of invasiveness.

Technically I don't think they have to pay out sick time if it's not in your agreement.

But I will say you can probably find a lawyer to take this retaliation case and they'll charge a percentage of the winnings. I feel like it should be an easy win if you have anything in writing.

It will happen right around the time commuter rail stations allow out of town residents to park there, and also have high density housing all around them.

Trying to stuff large amounts of commuters every weekday into expensive, tiny, overcrowded and hard-to-access Boston is a fool’s errand. Boston has reached the limits of its growth.

I read The Dystopia Triptych last year, and I kept thinking how ridiculous some of the premises were of several of the short stories (yes, one of them involved a seemingly well-intentioned voluntary organ donation scheme, and where that would inevitably lead). Maybe I was just oblivious at the time, but especially in the past year several of them just seem prescient. We really are living in the darkest timeline.
