@larand That does not look pretty.
I'm gonna be honest, the more I look into micro.blog, the less I am enamored of the whole idea. It comes down to part of their "terms of service":
To combat this type of abuse and harassment, Micro.blog has a feature called Safe Replies. Safe Replies attempts to automatically catch potentially harmful replies to you from people you do not follow. We use this to help filter posts out of your timeline that you may not want to see.
Who decides what kind of reply is safe? And what if I decide I'm ok with it?
It sounds no better than Twitter, honestly, where at least I don't have to maintain a Wordpress site or pay someone $5/mo for the privilege of not doing so.
@kdfrawg Part of the issue is our usual travel person is out on extended leave and I'm dealing with newbies who don't realize the rules are a little flexible for people who travel as much as I do.
@matigo I don't think I've ever had the displeasure of an ANA flight. Hopefully I never will.
@matigo It's a trans-Pacific flight and I'm not flying an airline I have no status on to save the company a few hundred bucks.
Coca Cola, now fortified with Fiber in Japan [coca-colacompany.com]. This is somehow healthy?
@indigo I agree it's an issue (people working too hard without making enough to live on). That said, I'm not sure that raising the minimum wage will make things any better. Businesses will, instead of paying a living wage (and raising costs), simply automate the jobs out of existence.
There's already not a ton of jobs out there for teenagers and young adults, most of which are living at home and thus don't necessarily need a living wage. That said, the experience they gain in these jobs is invaluable. Raise the minimum wage, and a lot of those jobs will disappear.
Personally, I'd rather see a basic universal income of sorts versus a minimum wage.
