The issue is that a lot of people consider WFH to be “stay at home and don’t do any work”.

You can usually pick them out because they are either; Extroverted and spend more time at work socialising than work.

Most people in Management/Decision Making roles also suit this profile; they project their own unmotivated malaise on their employees and assume that all their employees would behave exactly how they would.

Because the peak agricultural bodies represent the agricultural industry; they don’t represent farmers.

The agricultural industry consists of Petrochemical companies providing fertilisers and herbicide, machinery manufacturers and biological media providers.

The farmers, who are the ones who are doing the work, are only the consumers of the agricultural industry.

It is like expecting a Chamber of Commerce to respect the needs of the workers.

Soft plastics can be recycled, but the (trained) labour to sort is prohibitively expensive.

Tyres can also be recycled, but the labour liability makes them prohibitively expensive in first-world-countries.

They can also both also be processed as Biochar, but the environmental cost is also prohibitively expensive: tyres result in Sulfur-contaminated charcoal and soft plastics are not the most efficient material to convert into charcoal.

This is why self-regulation is a lie.

There needs to be standardised government testing, not industry-funded testing.

Same goes for Crash testing. You can guarantee that we wouldn’t allow ‘Murican trucks in the country if they were tested objectively.

And builders paying for their own Building Inspectors is a major conflict of interest.

Federally funding consumer testing of consumer goods and Local-Government funded inspection of construction should improve the quality of everything.

“Did you think we were going to pay $22billion in tax?”

“We paid $22billion to a lobbying firm who bribed the previous government MP with a pittance to pass legislation that is beneficial to us but detrimental to the Australian People and also the Environment.”

“Also, the lobbying firm is a subsidiary of ours so we can keep the money in the company”

Hopefully they give her a job at Mar-A-Lago.

I have seen title cards change on unwatched videos from something that is innocuous and directly related to the content to something with a scantily clad female, tangentially related to the video who is much younger than me.

While not technically Jailbait, the title cards are sexualised.

I mainly watch renovation, restoration, cinema, off-roading, engineering and fabrication.

The majority of this content is male-dominated and I do appreciate when videos aren’t bursting with aggressive machismo. I think the algorithm has determined that when I watch a video with a female host it is because it thinks I am being pervy.

Loops is a Fediverse equivalent.

It is not a medium that interests me, I have found the content on Loops to be mediocre.

That said, I have found the content on TikTok to also be mediocre and YouTube clips are just jailbait clickbait.

Yes, I know it is algorithm generated, but I am pretty sure everyone is just getting jailbait clickbait.
