Absolutely I agree. At a minimum they should be required to be non-profit, and really they should be government services for the necessary insurances like medical insurance.

Insurance as a monetary concept was invented for the shipping industry. But insurance is not just monetary. It’s also the grain silos you fill in case of a famine. The water cisterns you fill for drought. It is absolutely not just pay money and get money out if you get hurt

Insurance is risk adverse behavior. Lotteries are the opposite. Insurance is important no matter what type of society you have, because it’s always important to have resources ready for disasters

Does that make sense? I feel my argument is lacking common sense I’m not seeing.

There’s a couple issues with it. For specialized trainings, you’ll only have a few people with them, and with vacations you’ll need more. Training costs money.

People will not work harder to cover. Longer, sometimes. Harder, rarely. The company still needs to make certain timelines. There’s an extent to witch employees can work “harder”. The more people off, the less you can just cover it with working harder.

If you’re not going to hire people, the longer hours the employees work to do the work will be paid at over time rates. Those are not cheap

As much As I agree that pto needs to be required, it’s simply pure white collar thinking to think that more people don’t need to be hired to cover for vacations. In blue collar, labor jobs, the employer needs to hire temp workers (as my area does) or give other employees considerably more hours(some locals have flex employees that do pt most of the year and ft during vacation periods). The employer is out the wages it costs to pay the cover, it is not free. And the employer should be paying that.

With adhd meds I couldn’t tell when I was hungry but still got more clumsy and hot headed when I was hungry. That wasn’t great

I mean, googling that does not give the result you claimed it would. In fact, it talks more about how they opened up different types of camps instead

Definitely a vibe.

You are making things up, things that I haven’t said. Most countries have stories of genocide of one people or another. That is not saying it is inevitable, it’s just history.

normalizing genocides of mostly European origin

Several of which you stated were which weren’t…

Counting genocides perpetrated against a population as proof of genocide being common by almost every population is just the intellectual bankruptcy cherry on top.

I was not. You twisted the truth like the korean one, and assumed I was talking about different ones than I was. More however, I said countries–not populations, which would be quite the different subject. Plenty have primarily been targeted by genocides. You underestimate how much genocide takes place, and continually make things up to pretend it’s just a European problem. Wholly ignoring that one of the active present ongoing genocides is being perpetrated by china.

…yeah because you said genocide was special to western countries… I’m not some “the whites are getting genocided” person. You denied the genocides perpetrated by other countries and said it was special to typical white countries with a very clear implication.

You started this saying that most countries had been FOUNDED on genocides

I clarified in another comment I meant had done genocide, not founded on it. And yes, most. Not every.

it’s very normal that a nation has had an uninterrupted body of government after they either completely or partially eradicated the native population

I’m not saying it’s good. Quite the opposite in fact. I want People to just understand it’s not some united states special. However, it is much more more typical than people want to think it is

I never referred to it as unavoidable. That was you making things up. It is avoidable, as long as we work together to stop it

These countries get on their high horse when they have an exceptionally genocidal history.

My point was meant to point out how countries with genocidal histories like to point out others as the ones to avoid repeating examples of rather than their own history.

You’re being straight up racist assuming it’s only white western countries commit genocides.

Somali, Chile, Argentina, south Africa, Japan, Korea, China. It’s horrifyingly common no matter what area.

Also, what part of genocide do you think is about being civilized…?

…wait, you thought this was a defense? I’m sorry, perhaps I worded it poorly then.

What makes you think it’s not true? A gander through the history of genocide shows how horrifyingly common it is

I was more referring to general genocide than specifically native populations–but even that there is no shortage of countries like Australia, Canada, and japan that have done as such.

There is a depressingly high number.

I hate to tell you this, but basically every country has the same story, except the very young. They don’t need to learn from our history; they should learn from their own.

Tbh I don’t think you needed dpl to see that
