Sometimes the hiring calculus maximizes quantity over quality.
This is the same talking point people use when arguing against raising wages for retail or fast food workers.
Reality shows that, like retail jobs, gig economy jobs are many Americans' bread and butter. Pandora's box has already been opened.
> Also if the price went up much people wouldn't pay for it anymore.
Doubt it. Investor money allows gig economy companies to undercut their competition. Five years ago I could get across town for $5 via Uber or Lyft. Now, the costs average to about $18 for the same trip. I doubt that my driver's compensation more than tripled during that time like my trip's cost did.
There's plenty of room for gig economy workers to increase their pay. Companies that take poverty-level pay for their workers as a given, like Uber, might not survive, but other players will pop up in that space to eat their lunch.
If you had watched the documentary you commented on, you would know. Insecticides, dioxins, various neurotoxins, heavy metals, and various toxic waste chemicals from oil production and industry.
> Farmed salmon is lower in mercury, or example.
If you had watched the documentary you commented on, you would know that this is not necessarily true, and not at all true for the regions that the video covered.
The problem with not watching the documentary you choose to comment on is that you'll end up strawmanning the video you didn't watch or responding with a red herring.
If you had watched the documentary, you would have known that the issue goes far, far beyond PCBs.
I don't think anything happened that hasn't been happening since that quote was written. Those are just some new excuses to solidify the grip that the ruling class has at home and abroad.
There is no justification for violating the privacy of and imposing potential health dangers on the public.
In Kyllo's case, a person's home has a much better expectation of privacy from invasive surveillance than one's person and property in public. If it becomes public that people's homes are being searched without warrants, then I'd assume that they'd rightly be challenged.
It would be interesting and probably frightening to see how invasive surveillance of a person and property, in what might be considered 'public' space, would be challenged in court.
It's reminiscent of the FLIR vans used to catch marijuana growers that the Supreme Court determined to be mobile Constitution violators. They are still being used to bust people who like to grow Christmas trees or tomatoes indoors.
I feel bad for the minority that are terrorized by authorities suspecting them of engaging in criminal activities based on their nationality or skin color and fuzzy scans of their businesses, homes and vehicles.
Kyllo vs United States determined that thermal imaging without a warrant was a search and constituted a violation of a person's 4th amendment rights. "Off the wall" and "through the wall" surveillance are one and the same.

I transitioned to 3 over a year ago and haven't looked back. I am happy with how the ecosystem has adapted and the direction Python is taking.
Type annotations, liberal use of and expansion of syntax for generators, language cleanup and additions to the standard library really make it another and better language.
Psychotic effects can have lasting mental damage to those susceptible to mental illness, just as heightened blood pressure and heart rate might be a problem for someone susceptible to cardiovascular disease.
Being treated for severe depression means you are susceptible to mental illness, and the chances that you're getting adequate exercise or eating food that isn't killing you are incredibly slim. You're also probably on medications that make you tired, hungry and alter your metabolism in mysterious ways.
These are the considerations you and your doctor have to take into account when devising a treatment plan. The full disclosure of side effects will help.
I also like that you get on your soap box about being detained as if that justifies your shitty opinion.
Having been through the system as well, I am amazed that you'd come to that conclusion after experiencing it first hand.
How can you visit a place where rights and common sense don't matter and then turn around and justify how it operates?
How long were you detained? For what crime?
I don't think something that has that powerful of an effect on someone's mind should be taken lightly, or casually paraded around as being safer than caffeine or alcohol. We are not talking about an LD50 or death. We are talking about mental health.
There are severe significant and potentially long term consequences if you don't do your research or don't know your family's mental health history. The same applies for alcohol and other addictive drugs for similar reasons.
I say this as a person who had a familial predisposition to mental health issues that were triggered by psychedelic and other drug use.
I say this as someone who has had many psychedelic experiences and programs.
What problems would this solve?
