Clickbait headline, it’s a £1 per ticket fee on large concert venues to support smaller concert venues.
Scottish Greens’ culture spokesman Mark Ruskell said: “A small £1 charge on the biggest stadium-packing gigs like Taylor Swift at Murrayfield could have a transformative impact on our industry and our culture."
I’m voting blue no matter who when the opponent is a Republican every damn time. I also don’t support the police actions against protesters, am against the US’s ongoing support for Israel, and want the genocide to stop. I’m still voting for Biden and every Democrat up and down my ballot in November. I’ve got another chance to vote for more progressive candidates when the next primary happens, but until then I’ve got a ton of progressive candidates in local races on my ballot this November and Biden being in the White House is better in literally every way than Trump being there.
And if Trump is elected, it will be your fault. Then you can have even more indiscriminate murdering of Palestinian civilians, plus the gutting of our entire federal government, the end of federal protections for workers, the environment, and protected classes, and a couple more Christian Nationalist Supreme Court justices to further erode your rights.
This election is not like 2012, 2008, 2004, or 2000, when protest votes mattered and happened but both major party candidates respected the rule of law. Hell, I voted for Ralph Nader. This is not the same my friend. Donald Trump must be kept out of office.
I’m trying to give someone advice on choosing a career that will suit them better than the one they’re in and hate. I wanted to get together a list of good questions for them to ask themselves so they can use the answers to compare options like “do you prefer to work sitting or moving around,” “do you want to not work...
I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. I’m a social worker in the US, and there are a ton of jobs available to me, whether that’s federal, state, or local government, healthcare, schools, nonprofits, and more. The character of the job depends heavily on the agency and specific department within which you work, and there’s an incredibly wide variety. Pay is bad at some jobs and really good at others.
What is “District 7?” And who exactly is abusing their power?
I’m sorry dude I’ve worked in social services in hospitals and local government for well over a decade now and have no idea what you’re talking about, “the nine districts.” You’re a social worker if you have a social work license and work as a social worker, not if you work at one of “the nine districts,” as you cryptically refer to what I can only assume is some portion of the federal government.
Are you a troll? There’s not a shred of reality in anything you just wrote. The federal government has no role whatsoever in any CPS function, it’s entirely a state-based system. This is also just completely made up:
The actual social work institution (not just “working for society”) has its management divided across the US into subregions that typically encompass a few states
The social work profession doesn’t have a singular “management,” there are state licensing boards the same way there are for doctors and nurses. Licensed social workers work for literally thousands of different agencies and there are no “sub regions that typically encompass a few states.” Even better, almost none of the CPS caseworkers in my state are social workers. Social work has basically nothing to do with CPS. Where did you learn any of this?! Try to learn it again
Please share one link describing your “districts.” You linked an Erie County site lmao.
“Social services” describes anyone providing social services in any setting, including child welfare, prisons, schools, hospitals, or any of the thousands of other governmental and non-governmental organizations. “Social work” is a specific education and a regulated and licensed profession that provides some social services in addition to psychotherapy. They aren’t the same thing. CPS is one tiny segment of the social services field, which is massive. I’m sorry you had a bad experience with CPS wherever you are, based on your other comment, but your experience is not even slightly representative of the field in the way you portray it to be.
It sounds like you’re advocating increasing funding so the federal government can house all these people. Or maybe you’re advocating we let them have work.permits so they can house themselves, since they’re coming here looking for work anyway
I guess what’s weird is how abashed the government’s response was, like it was some embarrassing secret. In Austin, we had a major project that regulated the flow of a downtown creek by pumping water upstream from the lake and creating a flood bypass tunnel. This was all over the news and was a point of pride when it was completed. Here, the government seems to be acting like they did this in secret to fool people.
Didn’t Square Enix just announce they’re not doing PS exclusives anymore and will be releasing all their games on Xbox too? Seems like the movement is coming from both directions. Next generation consoles are still years away, regardless
I’ve carved up my lawn to plant trees and native plants beds, but still have sections that are grass. It’s a great play space for the kids, and with the trees there’s enough shade to really limit the amount of irrigation necessary during the worst of the summer. Point is, lawns aren’t inherently bad, their extent and how you manage them are what matter most.
A lot of doomsaying here, but a big part of what we’re seeing now is the scientific progress we’ve made to more accurately sequence viruses in the moment. Novel flu variants are not a new thing, influenza has been passing back and forth between animals and mutating for thousands of years and has killed tens of millions of people. 30 or even 15 years ago this case, which is likely to be a one-off, would have gone completely unnoticed. The patient also sounds like they might have struggled to survive any flu variant given their comorbid diagnoses
H5N2 is not a new virus, it’s well known to virologists.
Influenza A virus is classified into subtypes based on the viral proteins haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). As of 2019, 18 H subtypes and 11 N subtypes have been identified. Most potential combinations have been reported in birds, but H17-18 and N10-11 have only been found in bats. Only H subtypes H1-3 and N subtypes N1-2 are known to have circulated in humans
Back then in addition to all those things, they supported a liberal economic policy. George Wallace l, for example, supported the New Deal through and through, and progressive tax policies
2: Artificial lighting will confuse lightning bugs or prevent them from mating, since females need to see that fancy swoopy-light dance to find a mate. When they don’t mate, you lose out on the next generation.
3: I’ve had success in my yard because I’ve carved garden beds out in my lawn where I’ve planted a lot of different native plants, and I try to only minimally disturb the beds throughout the year, so lightning bug larvae have free reign in the leaf litter in fall and winter
