  • Gen Z? This bullshit has been ongoing since the early 00’s. Every fucking company wants applicants with 5+ years experience straight out of the gate, with training provided by anyone else but them, and to pay the new hire as if they rolled out of their High School grad through the front door. Look to Gen Y if you want to see what’s going to happen again (more self-service kiosks and useless chatbots). Many of the kids training for these jobs are going to completely abandon their chosen career track in favour of work that’s responsive to their needs - things like actually responding to applications and paying their fucking rent/mortgage. I’m finding to people in their early 20’s who’re already sick of this shit, without a clear understanding of what’s happened to the labour market.



















  • It’s a part of standard sentencing guidelines, what’s normally referred to as “good behaviour” while in jail/prison can contribute to reduction of sentences. The problem here is what you see quite often though, in that the disposition of the judge plays an important role in determining whether or not it’s applied - specifically in this case, to someone found guilty of stalking and apparently intending to assassinate former POTUS Obama. The former sentencing for participating in the Jan. 6th riots should have compounded the sentence and prevented early release, but this is where the U.S. judiciary is at present unfortunately.


  • I’m not aware of that specific case, but yeah that tracks. I’ve read about incidents where the cops were enraged about things like victims of traffic accidents or assaults by officers being soaked in blood, getting it on them, and stating that they ‘didn’t want to risk getting hepatitis/AIDS’ as justification for declining to provide lifesaving medical intervention. In some cases, the delay in care led to deaths, while they stood by, and weren’t censured by their departments.

    They’ve been using seizures from acute health incidents and tazers both as justification for escalation of force because “suspects were resisting” for quite a while.
