Germany is currently my top choice. I've been struggling with beginning the process of learning the language but found the VHS course/apps today and had an Anki card deck I finally looked at this week. Job hunting is tough. Engineer with 1.5 years of experience is a touch too entry-level it seems. Studying for a Master's is on the table too, but there's a lot of moving parts regardless of what route I take. Wish me luck.
You can’t start a strike if you don’t have a union and your co-workers don’t agree
This is a major point that those outside of the US seem to miss, I think. The sheer depth of contempt for unions and unionization I've experienced is a massive barrier to organizing any significant resistance. I'm very certain a majority of US citizens are unaware of what a general strike even looks like. Corporate propaganda has very successfully vilified and diminished unions for a long time.
This whole album is so damn powerful and does history justice. I couldn't sort out a way to link these two together but I highly encourage listening to them gapless.
Time for some pretty easy math; if 93,000,000 scans cause 103,000 cancer diagnoses, what percentage of scans cause cancer?
Its 0.11%. Each scan has a 0.11% chance of causing cancer. Thats slighty more than a 1 in 1000 chance for each scan.
Now, 93000000 and 103000 look like large scary numbers but when you're comparing populations every number is likely to be large and scary. The absolute magnitude is meaningless; the important information lies in their proportion.
In fact he posted this just today apparently!
