Well, they are discussing a "Siesta" in Germany right now, where workers need to take a mandatory, long, unpaid break in the middle of the day, because it's too hot to work: https://lemmy.world/post/1706963 (in german)

I hate that so much. I want less time for work and more time for life.

Imagine having to spend your free time during the heat, so that you can work when it's cold. You are losing your free time twice! You can't even spend it. If it's too hot for work, it's too hot for free time.

Wenn es so heiß ist, dass ich da nicht arbeiten kann, wieso sollte ich dann da Freizeit wollen, damit ich dann später arbeiten kann? Alles was ich hier sehe ist, dass mir Freizeit verloren geht, während die Arbeit und der Kapitalismus doch überhaupt erst schuld sind an der Hitze.

Find ich ja ekelhaft.

One really contradicts the other.

A person can only generate so much money by not caring about other people. If they cared about other people, they would spend their money to improve something instead of hoarding it for themselves or distribute it evenly between themselves and those they exploit.

An empathetic person would know that they have no right to have that much money.

They would be able to see that they were lucky in an exploitive system and they would understand that their work is not worth more than the work of other people.

You can't be rich and be a good person at the same time, because money is generated by exploiting labor and you can only generate more money by exploiting more work.

In the very end this money belongs to the people who carried Elon Musk through his life. He did not invent those rockets. He did not program those cars. He did not dig the lithium for the batteries under extremely dangerous conditions out of the ground while being paid peanuts. What he contributed to his wealth is the willingness to exploit other people.

You didn't get the joke, right?

Where exactly did you find that setting?

Right? It's super gross that a school is that invasive into a person's private space.

It is that bad.

It's cluttered with ads, stutters, lags, is buggy, etc.

It's a mediocre user interface centered around showing ads to the user, with some content in between to justify it.

Wahrscheinlich eher ein Unterstützungsprogramm und ein Gesetz gegen HomeOffice...

Das ist ein Strohmann und nicht, was ich gemeint habe.

Das ist meiner Meinung nach keine Argumentation gegen die letzte Generation, sondern eigentlich nur ein Armutszeugnis für Deutschland.

Aber wem soll man denn sonst auf die Nerven gehen? Es werden regelmäßig Pipelines abgedreht, Regierungsgebäude blockiert, etc. Leider berichten dann die Medien kaum und der Protest ist noch unwirksamer. Diese Möglichkeit wurde ja ausgeschöpft, bevor man sich entscheiden musste, die Zivilbevölkerung mit einzubeziehen.

Die letzte Generation tut das nicht, weil sie es witzig finden, den Verkehr zu blockieren. Sie tun das, weil ihnen nichts anderes übrig bleibt und die Zeit nunmal abläuft.

Und glaub mir, dass da so'n oller LKW nicht fahren kann, ist vollkommen zu vernachlässigen, wenn uns das vor den Wasserkriegen 2050 bewahrt.
