Immigrants come to mind since they’re unable to pay for licensing anyway, and continue to operate their businesses, such as their money is useless, apparently.

Ok, I have a couple of minutes now.

It says protective footwear, not steel toe. Which is why no open toe shoes or crocs on warehouse floor. In most situations, a leather shoe provides sufficient protection.

It is an article showing how dangerous these jobs are. People often claim being a cop is the most dangerous job, which then excuses them for killing/beating citizens.

They were just bringing it up to make a point.

Reply to comment by saliczar in Researchers have found the genetic links between headaches, migraines and blood sugar levels, which ultimately could lead to targeted treatments for patients by giuliomagnifico

I quit caffeine to try to manage mine, and once past the withdrawal, ended up 3lb heavier and twice as many migraines. Could not tell any benefit only worsening. One of my daughters had good results quitting caffeine though, fewer migraines for her.

Staying hydrated definitely helps though. As someone above noted, homeostasis, steady as you go, is key.

Wow, yeah that's super helpful. I could do it when my husband was on it and by myself when my kid was very little. But it felt impossible once our kid needed constant attention and at-hand snacks. I was so tired so much that I started eating fast food for the first time in my life in my mid-30s.

And they can’t live off that minimum wage they make in many warehouses either! Maybeee if they work enough overtime/injure themselves badly enough they can take a break

That's what you think now. But old you won't give a damn about anyone else because you'll be dead soon anyway.

Add to that, that is some countries a car is the only way to reliably get around when you're old and I bet you'd think differently when you're older.

Usually you get hired and start learning the trade and your company will pay for you to get licensed in trades. At least that’s the experience friends have had and I had working for a company in my early 20s. They find people that want to work and actually invest in them.

Reply to Public opinion on climate change in China from two national surveys: findings suggest that Chinese people have a fairly high awareness of the existence and anthropogenic causes of climate change by Biosphere_Collapse

Plain language summary:

The study found that Chinese people have a good understanding of climate change and its causes, and think it is important to take action to address it. They mainly view the government, especially the central government, as being responsible for doing this, and support policy measures like carbon taxes and cap and trade. Additionally, individuals are willing to take action themselves.

Reply to Researchers believe rising sea temperatures are to blame for the plummeting number of invertebrates such as molluscs and sea urchins at Rottnest Island off Western Australia, with some species having declined by up to 90 per cent between 2007 and 2021. by Wagamaga

Curtin University researchers believe rising sea temperatures are to blame for the plummeting number of invertebrates such as molluscs and sea urchins at Rottnest Island off Western Australia, with some species having declined by up to 90 per cent between 2007 and 2021.

Lead author Adjunct Professor Fred Wells, from Curtin’s School of Molecular and Life Sciences, said the west end of Rottnest Island had suffered a “catastrophic decline” in biodiversity.

“Since 1982, we have monitored biodiversity of marine molluscs and echinoderms including sea snails, clams, starfish and sea urchins on rocky reefs at Rottnest Island, Cottesloe, Trigg Point and Waterman,” Professor Wells said.

“Despite being sanctuary zones with the highest level of protection from human activities, we found that Radar Reef and Cape Vlamingh at Rottnest Island had suffered a catastrophic decline in biodiversity between 2007 and 2021, likely due to exposure to the warm Leeuwin Current.

“By contrast, the metropolitan coastline, which is not under the influence of the Leeuwin Current, was found to have well-preserved biodiversity and species richness.

“Overall, at the west end of Rottnest Island, the rocky reefs are badly depleted with a decline of 90 percent or more in biodiversity and density of molluscs.”

There are many licensed industries where the license holders function like independent contractors and are responsible for their own licensing fees and any CE. Hairdressers and barbers rent slots at salons and pay for their own licenses, and nail techs often do too. Court reporters typically pay for their own licenses as well. Not sure about the trades like electric, plumbing, and HVAC though, but my impression is that you get licensed on your own dime and and then get on as an apprentice. That may vary by region though.
