It’s similar to burning books IMO.
Buying something just to destroy it will always be moronic no matter what the item is.
It only accomplishes to make the company that makes those items make more money, so they can make even more items.

What the minor did is covered by privacy, but not that she kicked a person so she died?
Veeery convenient.

I’d say not being allowed to leave a building, and the restraining attempt are indicators of abuse. So yes absolutely self defense.

I only skimmed to see what it was about, but stopped because I found out it is bullshit. So I don’t really know what it says about Argentina.

Which requires specially trained personnel here. But apparently an education that doesn’t even exist in USA?

I used a translator for the first paragraph:

About the training
The training gives you the tools to support people’s development. You learn to work with well-being and give other people good opportunities to participate in the community.

It’s absolutely insane, here a “pædagog” education is required, and English doesn’t even have a word for that! But suggests kindergarten teacher.

A pædagog is trained to work with both children and grown ups.

WTF America? how can you not have a term and an education for that?

Stating she wasn’t allowed to leave is not a reason, why she wasn’t allowed to leave would be the reason.
But trying to leave a house is not basis at all for restraining a person, even if you are told not to.
Sounds like a power-trip to me.

Venezuela is a beacon of national sovereignty and social progress.

This is the trash that is upvoted here? Venezuela is a dictatorship, and Maduro is not supported by the people. And Maduro has succeeded in making an extremely oil rich country one of the poorest in the region, where even toilet paper is in shortage.
That’s very far from being a beacon of sovereignty.

That was my first thought too. Physically restraining a person, especially a minor, and even more especially a minor with trauma, is a very serious thing. It was strange to me the article had nothing about why the girl needed to be physically restrained.
But I’m also more suspicious about it because it’s American, I’ve seen (in the news) so many examples of insane authoritarianism in American institutions, where even doing your hair in a non traditional white manner is considered grounds to be expelled.
And numerous cases of calling the police on children “to teach them a lesson”!!!

American conditions in institutions are insane just like they are in the rest of American society. because USA as a nation has gone more and more sociopathic and authoritarian over the past 40 years. Might makes right is just one issue, and I suspect the one that could have been at play here? It is quite telling IMO that the colleague doesn’t blame the girl.

It is also weird that she is just described as “a staff member” indicating she has no special training with these sorts of children!
She may have done her best according to her abilities, but this reeks of an institutional failure.

Way to go Jeanine Pirro, working to prove herself for the Nazis, and being a Nazi, before becoming the next Nazi victim.
How fucking stupid are these idiots?

No they are not both Republican, but they are both right wing.
But only one of them is fascist and anti democracy.

According to u/unpossom that’s not possible, they can only do it 3 days per month.
And it’s a heck of a lot better than zero as was claimed in previous posts about this.

All the fascist Republicans crawling out from every creek there is. And dammit there’s a lot of them.
But it is no wonder, because you’ve had to be a psychopath for decades to be a Republican, and from psychopath to fascist is not very far.

With a fascist government anti fascism is an enemy of the system, and that is clearly where USA is today.

There’s a lot not being reported, seems to me that every extra piece of info we get, makes this more and more reasonable, and a nothing burger IMO.

Not the best pay for overtime, but it’s just a couple of days ago that people here claimed there was zero compensation, as in they weren’t paid for overtime at all. At least according to this edited headline that is NOT true. But I can’t find that info in the article?

And I still find it confusing that this is now “allowed”. Does that mean it was not allowed to work more than 8 hours per day in Greece? As in overtime with a 40 hour work week was not allowed?

No wonder then that their economy suck. That’s extremely rigid, and especially small companies need to be more flexible than that to run efficiently.

Actually allowing for more flexible overtime, will make it easier to later lower the standard work hours.
I can see everybody is up in arms about how horrible this is, but if there really is pay for overtime, this seems like a much needed change, and not at all the horror show almost everybody here on Lemmy have claimed.
Also there is nothing in these articles about allowing overtime, that show that an employer can demand it, as was also claimed by some previously.

Inflation is normal, what we typically call inflation is when it’s above the normal rate. The target rate by most national banks is 2% inflation.

Mostly Free Markets regulated to some degree, but even communism although they don’t really have free markets, they still have markets and companies. They are just regulated by quotas instead of supply and demand. And economically that model simply doesn’t work. Just as a 1 party system has always shown to be authoritarian.

An article about It was on here just a couple of days ago. I’m sorry I don’t have the link.

But a simple search turned this story up:
https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/us-consumers-bearing-half-cost-tariffs-far-goldman-sachs-says-rcna237283

It says 55% so not quite the same, maybe not the same study IDK?

communism does not inherently mean authoritarian dictatorship

How does that work without fair elections?

Marx didn’t invent communism,

Maybe not, but his definition is the basis from which all others are derived. So any other form needs to be specified IMO.
I am very well aware that no 2 practical attempts at implementation are alike. Hell some of them aren’t anything more than simple dictatorships, like North Korea.
