Dad, grandfather, husband, wanderer, scientist, teacher... fighting cynicism in a world that demands it. Comforting the afflicted, afflicting the comfortable.

Iowa governor signs bill loosening child labor laws

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa teenagers could work more jobs and for longer hours under a bill signed into law Friday by Gov. Kim Reynolds. The Republican governor signed the law after it was approved by the Legislature earlier in May with only Republican support.

The thing about this corruption and criminality—George Santos, Clarence Thomas, Rudy Giuliani, Trump—is that it’s so obvious. So brazen. As if there’s no need to hide it.

In the Netherlands there is a company called Yonega. There are 100 employees.
The boss of the company gave them a present of a shopping bag and a gold envelope.
For the whole of December, the employees were to put all their supermarket receipts in the envelope to be reimbursed.

@SpockResists Same here. Some tech/natural selection pressure at work, methinks. Outcome TBD.

I keep thinking about this 1995 passage from “The Demon-Haunted World” by Carl Sagan.
