Yes it's an accumulation of reforms aimed at destroying worker's rights in France. Plus the destruction of public services, which were not working very well to start with. Many French people are fed up, but alas many still support Macron. He really has managed to convince these dumb fuckers that the only alternative is the Rassemblement National...

Workers' rights are being destroyed in France too, don't worry. Macron will make sure of that.

"Hadley accepted a settlement from the city of Anaheim in April 2021. The amount was not disclosed." Hopefully it was a hefty sum.

The staff and contractors at the NSA were spying on people they knew/wanted to know, why wouldn't the police?

They hired men to rape themselves (well, the woman half anyway), which thus makes it not rape after all?

I listened to that one yesterday and immediately knew that was what you were referencing lol. It was too specific to be coincidental

Rape is a horrible, despicable act that can leave people with permanent emotional and physical scars. It destroys lives.

Being falsely accused of rape will leave you permanent emotional scars and destroys lives.

They aren't the same thing, but in both cases you have clear intent to harm someone else in a way that you know will destroy their life. A rape charge shouldn't be lessened, but the others should be worse. "20 years max" is weak. 5 years for the wife is pathetic too.

Perhaps we should all declare that our images in the Clearview database are obscene in our judgment and must be removed immediately. Hey, if Michelangelo's "David" is obscene, then certainly any image of my ugly mug must qualify. And since we're apparently now enabling the tyranny of the minority in this country we might as well take advantage of that. And no, to stifle any comments to the contrary, I do not have a dick nose or scrotum lips...

I think part of the problem is that people have been too impoverished to be able to protest. Sure you can fight for your right, but then you and your family might starve to death.

And with unions being busted all over the place there is no recourse for it.

This is of course a very big factor. My comment was cutting very short for the sake of catchiness. But pushing such a reform around the Parlament makes for a highly explosive mixture.

You're of course right. My comment was cutting pretty short for the sake of catchiness. And as it was mentioned as well coming on top of your points is the really undemocratic way this change was pushed through, bypassing the Parlament. This all makes for a very explosive mixture.

I'm sorry if it seamed that I do not take this seriously enough. This was not my intention.

This must be that "tough on crime" stance I keep hearing from Republicans.

Sometimes none of the above -

>The detector dogs on show at the Auckland Biosecurity Centre today included media celebrity Clara, a recently graduated border biosecurity dog, and Boston, a springer spaniel that MPI is training to work in the field to detect any pest that makes it across the border.

>“We are working to develop a new type of dog that will be able to help with biosecurity responses. It will have the flexibility to be trained to detect any new pest that makes it to New Zealand.”

>Steve Gilbert, MPI Director Border Clearance Services says traditional border biosecurity dogs are not suitable to act in the incursion role, as they are trained to sniff out food and could be distracted by food odours when working outside.

I can't watch it, did they drag the executives who ordered this shit through the mud? It's sickening that they were allowed to order their peons to do all this and faced ZERO legal repercussions.

Steve Wymer is the head of the silicon Valley Boys&Girls Clubs of America. Disgusting that a piece of shit like him would be in a position to take advantage of young people

I mean it isn't Just the 2 years. It's that we are going in the WRONG direction. All this work. Over generations. And we are going backwards!?

We aren't working to invest in the progress of our people but the continue subjugation of ourselves and our children to be exploited by a minority Owner Class.

I see some people from.france say its more that he passed reform.without vote.

Rolling Fork, where 26 people died, is 75% African American. They're not the ones voting for the problems.

I just googled it and this was the first article to come up. He spent ten days in jail and $5000 in legal defense. This was three years ago. He may not have suffered physical harm, but the potential for misuse and abuse of this kind of power is concerning.

Here's my issue with that... who the fuck cares? The right wing in the US at this point is not living in reality. They have no rational thought or reason. They're gonna demonize people regardless, so who gives a fuck what they say or do? They demonize a candy company for making their candy less fuckable, I don't really care what they think about protestors or much anything else beyond how to keep them from murdering people who don't agree with them.
