As you die, you wake up in a fiery place. You quickly realize you’re in hell. You ask the next demon why you are there, as you lived a very good life. “You’re not being punished”, he says. “You are the punishment.”
You honk in joy. It’s a lovely morning in Hell, and you are a horrible goose.
“Disgruntled passengeres were issued a refund due to the delay, but a spokesman for train diver union Semaf said the conductor’s actions were ‘in keeping with the legal requirements.’
“Drivers are not allowed at the controls for longer than 5 and a half hours straight,” he said. “He repeatedly told headquarters that he was coming to the end of his shift and would go into overtime but received no answer, so he had to stop.”
even besides the fact that this worker was legally within his rights to leave and that it was the company’s fault for not putting in a replacement. would you want to be on a train driven by an employee who was overworked and exhausted? because personally i value my safety
Some ya’ll who are younger need to google Frank Serpico and read about his time in the NYPD and what the cops did to him and attempted to do to him up until the late 90′s. He literally had to go into hiding in Italy and Switzerland and multiple times people tried to kill him. He only came back to America after the mafia (who hated the NYPD a lot, obviously) said “you’re under our protection.”
Damn, NYPD is so bad, Mafia started protecting good cops
I would love for an anti-police mafia to be the counter to the bad cops
Vandalism doesnt change the system, it just slows it down and costs money. And no costing money won’t change things either. It just goes on the national debt.
Traditional forestry is so fascinating actually. Humans used to be much more invested in sustainable practices*, and they got creativeabout it.
Take coppicing. Coppicing is wild, ya’ll. Young trees get repeatedly cut down so that they regenerate with extra limbs. You know, like a freaking hydra.
This doesn’t harm the trees. In fact, since a regularly coppiced tree stays in the juvenile stage, this effectively makes the tree IMMORTAL, unable to be touched by age and the ravages of time. Also coppicing has been practiced since literal prehistory and has a lot of ecological benefits. In return, humans get a theoretically infinite supply of wood from one tree, instead of having to plant new ones.
tldr if you cut off a tree’s head it will grow more heads like a hydra and become functionally immortal.
*before colonizers realized they could steal all the land & trees they desired
