I’m half expecting some type of “except for these 90% of workers” exemption, but until we hear about something like that, this is great. It hopefully will give employers a second thought when trying the “starve them out” strategy.
This is a bill to amend the existing laws. The amendment is really just about removing hurdles, period. There really aren't added stipulations about who it applies to. They also took the opportunity to make the wording more inclusive of everyone, dropping him/her, etc.
Thank you for this. That is nice to hear. I miss living in California so much. It was nice being in a state that at least pretends to care about its workers.
Folks, pay attention. This is how long the gears of justice take to turn. This couple was wronged almost 10 years ago and only now are they getting some compensation.
Do not let these people into power, their atrocities will be dust in the wind by the time they face a jury.
Not if you are looking at mitigating heat in cities. A 6ft tree will be giving a decent amount of shade after 5 years' growth if you pick the right species. The trick is looking after them.
That is the trick. I unfortunately see a lot of spots in our downtown area that had a tree at one point that never got replaced. I don’t really understand why a Texas city wouldn’t want trees all over the place.
Not to say they aren’t doing some things with trees right. Dallas does have a lot of green space and the new parks in and around downtown do have a lot of trees. We just have to wait to see what is still there in 20 years.
To add a positive comment, this really will make a difference in cities that have no tree cover. The heat island effect is awful and it has proven to be helped quite a bit by trees. No, it doesn’t fix the climate but it certainly helps urban livers.
Montreal has been "greening" the city for a decade. I'm fortunate enough to be able to walk to work. The last 2 summers I've had to reroute my walk (adding 10 minutes) so I can stay in the greener parts of the city. It's easily 3-5°C cooler on the streets with green areas. When it's 35°C out... it's really noticable. It must have a mental health effects too because it's a god damned joy to walk to work now.
Absolutely. I am fortunate to live in a heavily wooded neighborhood but live within walking distance of one of our entertainment districts that has not prioritized trees in any way. The difference is definitely noticeable. There is almost zero shade and it feels awful during our summers.
One thing I love about the GOP is to see them constantly abandon their pawns. Kim Davis, Joe the Plumber, Kyle Rittenhouse, etc.... All of these people were mainstage for their 15 minutes of fame and the moment the GOP had wrung them out for all the outrage bait they can generate, they get left in the deep end to fend for themselves.
The preparations come after the company was sued by the US government in April over its failure to detect what the Department of Justice called "red flags" around its filling of prescriptions for opioids and other painkillers.
No wonder my pharmacist balks at my prescription for Vicodin. And meanwhile, I'm in too much pain to sleep, just from lumbar back pain & sciatica.
Hell no. I have a low dosage script, doc monitors closely and I don't abuse. I don't WANT to take pain meds regularly, but I must sleep, so I take my small dosage 3-4 times a week at bedtime. Then I sleep with less pain, not zero pain. But because it's ongoing for years, occasionally I end up on some pharmacist radar. Last time I had to pay out of pocket, they said insurance wouldn't cover this time.
Oh man that’s terrible all around. Sorry to hear/read you are going through that Izzgo! A friend of mine had some kind of nerve searing procedure that helped with that kind of pain, any options in that space?
I don't speak Portuguese, but this article just says he was a sanitation worker who stormed the government buildings with others, it doesn't say if he did any specific organisation or violence.
Compare and contrast that 17 years sentence with the sentences of ~5 years Jan 6th US rioters have received, because it's almost the exact same situation. Very interesting.
