    No. It means implying something from something more tame. For example, in this case, it’s an objection to any support for gay, trans etc. Rather than saying that outright, they’d say DEI is over the top. Which is attending to sound subtle and against a policy or practice when it’s against minorities. Its a dog whistle. Like anti-immigration is usually used in as a racist dog whistle.

    This is not a strawman. I’m not misrepresenting your argument. I’m highlighting you’re being a negative fuck and there are other places for that.

    Boomers don’t know what Linux is, they can barely use computers. I wouldn’t know one that would understand a meme about Linux.

    Seems you’re going to be negative and double down.

    Not where you work.

    You also failed to answer any of my points. If the head count is 0.25 per hour rather than 0.75, they’ll combine rolls and cut a head count. If 2 roles require 0.75, then they need 1.5 staff and need to round up, if it’s 1.1, they round down and a headcount gone. The shift will be run with 70 staff rather than 71.

    How can you work in the role and not know how it works?



  • In that example, yes it would.

    I don’t agree with your premise. When Tesco had more cart stations, I used them. I use them in Asda because they aren’t far from the car, but when they remove stations to cut jobs, they are the ones being rude.

    I’m not in the US. We never had gas station attendants. I guess fuel theft was never the same issue here as in the States.

    It’s very hard to use bank tellers. Many branches got shut down. It was never really a thing in my lifetime.

    It’s very easy to accept situations when you don’t see it change. You accept it as fact. Young folk just accept you don’t have data privacy because it never really existed in their life time.

    Supermarkets automate things or put the work onto customers not to pass those savings on to customers, but to increase their margins at the cost of peoples jobs. Some folk are just fine with that.

    Many would welcome automation if the gains and benefits were shared around. But it isn’t. The rich get richer and the unemployment line grows. The media train folk to hate the unemployed, like it was their choice their job was removed.

    If the only way to keep a fairer wealth distribribution is to keep folk in jobs, so be it. We don’t have basic income or a 4 day week yet.
