I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir here, but there’s so much commonly misunderstood classic literature. The Great Gatsby, Fahrenheit 451, Wuthering Heights, and Romeo and Juliet come to mind. I’ve bitten my tongue more than once as I’ve listened to others use Romeo and Juliet or Wuthering Height as enviable examples of romance.

SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto politics @lemmy.world•U.S. Secretary of Commerce says the ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids2·7 天前I agree this “factory jobs for everyone and their children” bullshit needs to be prevented, but what I listed isn’t just a fantasy. It’s literally a major part of what I do for a living. It’s all I did for a time when I was a consultant. Employers who are smart enough to have any concern for long-term sustainability and profitability take this quite seriously as it’s not just ethically the “right thing to do”, it’s a smart business move.

If it helps, you should be able to copy and paste my example markdown. I gave it a try and it still works.

SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto politics @lemmy.world•U.S. Secretary of Commerce says the ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids12·8 天前Preach! I have an advanced degree in a technical field and I earn (adjusted for inflation) about 75% of what my father did in the same industry doing similar work without even a GED. The real punch to the gut is I live in a high cost of living area while he worked in a very low cost of living area. Thanks, capitalism!
SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto politics @lemmy.world•U.S. Secretary of Commerce says the ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids4·8 天前Great question. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are more difficult to avoid when tasks are repetitive, forceful, and/or use a limited range of motion. Implementing a “stretch and flex” type program, completing thorough ergonomic evaluations (and actually following through with their findings), and rotating workers through various tasks that change the motions performed and body parts being stressed will knock down injuries considerably.
I had no idea about FedEx! Whenever someone sends us a package via FedEx, it’s always delayed 1-2 days from the delivery date, regardless of the service level. This explains a lot.
