Reply to comment by sweet_tranquility in TIL in response to infamously high suicide rates at Mapo Bridge in Seoul, South Korea, the bridge was adorned with suicide prevention messages and uplifting photos. These measures weren't enacted by the government, however, instead the entire project was financed by Samsung's life insurance division by evilclownattack
As someone who has survived a suicide attempt, this would have just thrown salt in the wound and ruined my life further. Shame on you.

Reply to Michigan Senate votes to repeal 2012 law restricting unions by TheArkOfTruth
Getting a good safe factory job with a union was one of the best things to ever happen to me. I’ve spent 10+ years working brutal retail/restaurant.
Forced overtime can get old several months in a row though. It’s an endurance race. Still a better change of pace than salary slavery.
Feels like workers rights are going to be a fun debate in the next couple decades.
