I worked in healthcare and had to pay for my own licensing, it definitely happens

That seems like statistic fuckery. For example, taking all the times anyone has been injured walking across the street vs. all the times any cops are hurt on the job and dividing by time.
But that doesn't account for the fact that way more people are crossing the street pretty much constantly and that traffic accidents in general are one of the highest sources of death and injury.
Also, while being a cop might not be as dangerous as working in construction (depending on where you're a cop) the danger of construction is environmental. Accidents. Machinery. Etc etc.
The danger of being a cop is actively antagonistic people who are out to hurt you. And traffic. Maybe less danger in quantity, but I'd say more dangerous in quality.

A pizza delivery driver has a greater chance of being murdered on the job than a cop. This is verifiable fact, you can google this ("list of jobs by murder rate") and nearly every source will back this up.

Correct. They were making a specific point about something they find important enough to mention, because it isn't totally out of context.

The key is eating your protein in small amounts through the day. That's what gets converted best to blood glucose and lasts the longest in your system. It can be dairy, nuts, slim jims, peanut butter, jerky, etc.
There's no need to eat more that the daily amount of protein, of course. Just, as you say, spread it out during the day over five meals instead of the usual three.

Either that or occasionally let them murder someone with no consequences. I mean that could be a nice perk for some people.

The call them let-down migraines, when your cortisol drops drastically and triggers a migraine. I use to get them every weekend so my doctor made me schedule mildly stressful activities to do on my days off which worked surprisingly well.

UK has the NVQ system, and you aren’t going to be hired without first doing an apprenticeship or having nvq level 2 in hairdressing.

Warehouse worker here. Essential just means expendable in our society. It's why I keep trying to persuade workers to unionize.

Most of these licenses are super easy tests so I doubt their Theory.
Even the somewhat serious tests like plumbers and electricians are open book tests. Not just about the licensing but also that you know that kind of work has to meet code so you need everybody to be on the same page somehow.
But without the breakdown of what industries they're talking about the entire concept is basically worthless.

Could you have read a book and taken a test to demonstrate your understanding of those hazards instead of paying for however many months of in-person instruction where you live?
The issue isn't necessarily that license=bad but that the process of becoming licensed entails is often excessive and wasteful.
The flip side of that is that my ex-wife paid a school to forge her hours so that she could go straight to a testing center after a long while where she'd been working in a job for which she was unlicensed. That was so that she could be a standalone business owner. When a license only really serves to hinder thoughtful, caring, and law-abiding people from doing business and it puts them at a disadvantage to lawbreakers then...well, that just isn't a very good look for occupational licensing.

This is sound advice anytime you are dealing with the legal system always find someone to represent you, they will know things you don't

Hmm they didn’t mention co2 acidification of the water. Some places have so much acidification that crustaceans can’t develop their shells.

Because we need a Martin Luther king figure.
There’s more than enough flammable vitriol to light.. But nobody’s willing to light the spark. Most don’t know how.. the ones who do aren’t..
How do you start a Revolution with no leader? What is this, the communist Revolution? A Revolution with no leader? How do people collectively decide how to take back what they deserve without someone telling them how to coordinate efforts?
There are groups out there doing things, but the people who want to fight aren’t connecting with them.. is it a lack of visibility? Or a lack of taking the effort to Google where local groups are DOING something?
