People only caring if it personally affects them is a part of how it got this bad in the first place.

100% on board. First stop is to local grocers, then Costco, and if those fail, then I'll resort to Sobeys.

This is such a great explanation, thanks for taking the time to write it all out.

Who are you, who is so wise in the ways of science?

"oh this? this is just my news boner. I really love the news"

If they think they're getting paid, I would argue that they're also idiots

I know! And it would take forever to heal that wound.

I think they meant to say sanctions, not seasons.

It's ridiculous that Christmas decorations and shopping starts popping up in stores 4 months early in September (late August in some cases). No other holiday is like that. It's like seeing Valentine's Day stuff out in November or Halloween out in July. Personally, I feel oversaturated and sick of Christmas by the time it actually arrives.

I don't know about giving extra benefits to workers with children. Certainly, workers with children should be given what they need to have a healthy work/life/family balance but I don't think workers without kids should be denied those same opportunities just because they chose to live their personal life differently. I think workers in the same role should be equally compensated with all of the same benefits and opportunities which then can be utilized as best suits their personal situation.
