Been waiting for this one, subbed.
Hmmm… Kind of surprised there isn’t an ARG to go along with this.
But per capita Sweden has more houses with assault rifles (literally military provided rifles to national service citizens) but no mass shootings there?
What does a person in Sweden have to do to possess a gun? Additionally, what is their policy on ammunition?
If I had to take an educated guess, it is the absurdly immense pressure for academic and career success. Basically through one’s entire childhood and early-adult life. A child’s day would be something like public school from morning to afternoon and private tutoring after that until night time. Rince and repeat with an ever growing pressure for an acceptance into a highly rated university.
And on top of that, incredible wealth inequality.
So from childhood until death it all seems like constant pressure to become excellent. Seems like life would be hopeless if one struggles with the academics and fails to secure a career.
A total of 39,453 people killed themselves from 2020 to 2022, according to data from the health ministry and the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency submitted to Rep. Baek Jong-hean of the ruling People Power Party.
Apparently the party is South Korean so I presume the stats are just for South Korea.
The automakers’ last known wage offers were around 20% over the life of a four-year contract, a little more than half of what the union has demanded. Other contract improvements, such as cost of living increases, restoration of defined-benefit pensions for newly hired workers and an end to wage tiers within the union are also on the table.
What happened to the 32 hour work day? Disappointment in AP for not mentioning this.
Engineers wants features held to less than 10 microns. Big parts on ‘easy’ materials.
Their idea of making parts is tossing it into any and all CNC machinery and automatically get good parts. That is rarely ever the case with tight tolerance parts.
Key proposals from the union have included 40% hourly pay increases, a reduced 32-hour work week, a shift back to traditional pensions, the elimination of compensation tiers and a restoration of cost-of-living adjustments (COLA), among other items on the table including enhanced retiree benefits and enhanced vacation and family leave benefits.
I hope they get it all. 32 hour work day and return to traditional pensions would be huge.
I feel like I’m completely unrelatable. From homelessness to sleeping in a business storage. A lack of parental figures. Hyper independency.
My situation is much better now but I think the possibility of meeting someone compatible is too low to justify putting in the effort.
Wtf happened to Martha Stewart? That is her in the middle?
