"you may be thinking" that's the first mistake. i've never had a thought in my life

not even front page news :/ i know it's depressing, but seems like it should be more important than the transit service making their staff work holidays? offensive as that is in itself, anyways, covid deaths are probably more newsworthy

we also lost our 4th person locally, which is sad to hear.

that said, we did breach 100 active cases due to Omicron :/ currently sitting at 109 (down 1 from yesterday, but up 14 from the 18th)

occasionally think of moving , then remember Covid is happening in the cities, and remind myself we're extremely lucky here.

forgot to explain wasp. white anglo-saxon protestant.

"identity politics" is a deliberately broad term used to dismiss discussion of/by non-WASP*, disabled, lgbt, etc minority voices

Not to mention the anti-identity politics stance which if nothing else doesn't sit well

WSWS doubling down on the defence of abusers in hollywood is depressing, jeez

working in the service industry, i rarely even get an 8 hour workday (9+ generally)much less 4d/w

The four-day work week is gaining steam in Canada—with benefits for workers’ well-being and the climate.

But as @danjdarrah reports, will this trend free up time for all workers or drive another wedge between the professional class and everyone else?

I know I'm water is wet-ing this but "Employers love cutting costs to the detriment of labour, but apparently labour isn't fond of it"

In a hybrid work world, white-collar employers have embraced the concept of "hot-desking" (not having your own desk) as a savings tool. Employees don't love it. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-the-great-divide-over-over-hot-desking-while-companies-see-cost/
