There are more people who need transplants than there are organs, so the medical profession has to make decisions about who to deny. This was a reasonable decision, in my opinion.

Well, there was certainly interest in it...

Seriously?

Phone the cops. Now.

Here come the accidents!

Even better, don't use Twitter at all and don't support its insane fascist asshole billionaire owner.

Seriously, why even continue talk8ng about twitter? Let it die.

55 here, and I got to play lunar lander on my dad's lab PDP-8 even before my grandparents got Pong.

Currently working my way through Fallout London.

I'm more concerned that it looks like a laser turret from Portal.

Pffft. Amateur.

That sounds like a dream. Last place I worked aa an employee, we got "col" 9which was actually less than 1/3 the government-declared col) plus as much as 1.1% merit increase.

Typical raise for a high performer was around 2%.

Sadly, Via Rail won't get me to Brighton in time for my friend's wedding.

I'm flying out later this week. First big trip since the start of COVID, and the focus of the trip is the wedding of a dear friend.

Timing and price led us to Air Canada over Westjet this time, but it's a crapshoot; a day later and we might have booked Westjet, in which case we'd be royally fucked right now.

I still support the mechanics on this one. Companies will ALWAYS bargain in bad faith, if they have the opportunity; and getting government arbitration has become the latest version of bad faith bargaining.

This strike may be truly illegal. It will definitely inconvenience a lot of people. It may, over time, lead to the downfall of Westjet (I have cheap headphones here from Canada 3000, Canadian, and a few others - it can happen!).

I don't fucking care.

The mechanics didn't cause this shitshow, they only chose when to act against the shitshow created by the billionaires. This is the fault of Alexis van Hoensbroech and his board of directors. If you miss a flight or a trip of a lifetime because of the strike, remember that: Ten executives at Westjet who EACH make more annually than a mechanic will see in his lifetime have decided not to let those mechanics keep up with inflation.
