Precarious work is becoming more prevalent with unions calling for new bargaining rules to level the playing field for employees.

This is the only direction for the NDP to go if they want to win.

Liberals and Conservatives have let corporate grocers rip off Canadians for far too long.

Billions in profits for the Big 3 Grocers, while working-class people wonder how they’ll afford their next meal.

No more waiting for the market to fix itself. Canada needs a public option for grocery stores.

Why are Trump and the GOP so obsessed with children's genitals? Seems fucking weird to me.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

They know Antifa is not a real group, and that's the point. Cause now they can link anyone to "Antifa" and they're a terrorist and they can go to jail.

It's almost like every time there's a UBI pilot program it results in positive economic results.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Yes, it's my inhaler and not all the fucking AI Slop out there that's causing global warming!

Coach Jerry (referee 🔵) @gopher33j.bsky.social · 5d

As somebody with asthma who uses inhalers - SHUT THE FUCK UP. THIS ARTICLE IS SHAMING PEOPLE WITH A CHRONIC CONDITION.

"Significantly" My ass. You know what else does? AI Data centers - corporations - cows - asphalt - THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THINGS THAT ARE NOT MEDICINE.

Fuck you - fuck you again.

Inhalers contribute significantly to global warming, study finds

Millions of Americans using inhalers for chronic lung diseases like asthma may be unknowingly contributing to global warming, according to new research.

Ooooof. Bad horse to back in this race, Charlie. Avi is the way forward for the NDP, McPherson moving the party to the right is a losing battle. How will the NDP beat the Liberals if they're just the Liberals (be it, the Liberals of 15 years ago)?
