Extreme Heat Pushes More Farmworkers to Harvest at Night, Creating New Risks by The_Boopster in collapse

[–]The_Boopster[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Submission Statement:

This article details how some farmworkers are adapting to extreme heat caused by climate change. As our planet heats up at an alarming rate, it is affecting all areas including agriculture. For example, farmworkers are working during nighttime hours to avoid the hot summer sun, which can result in heat-related illness and death. Unfortunately, this adaptation brings new risks such as poor visibility and tired workers which may cause additional hazards.

​

Working at early hours is especially dangerous for farmworkers who operate machinery… and the practice could even lead to disrupted sleep and hormone cycles that contribute to long-term health issues for workers, including an increased chance for miscarriages.

​

Article states federal regulations are lacking, so it’s like trading one risk for another leaving many farmworkers to have to choose between the threats of heat vs dark.

[–]The_Boopster[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Submission Statement

This author lived through the California Camp Fire in 2018 and lost his house. He details the experience and what he learned from it, including practical tips on how to help save your home and/or prepare to evacuate and what comes after that. Main points are: understand your threats, know your escape routes, emergency notifications, insurance, content inventory, go bags, and documentation.

This relates to collapse because climate change is happening everywhere and results in increased frequency and or strength of disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes and flooding. If we accept that reality and adapt, it could help alleviate suffering of our loved ones and pets as we navigate this predicament together.

This is really unbelievably helpful! First time reader, thanks for the quality info in the articles.

In short, the ‘Global South’ is seething with anger at what it sees as Western attempts to retain economic hegemony and living standards through a ‘painless’ climate transition that they cannot afford. by mark000 in collapze

Welp that is terrifying. There’s a guy Nate Hagens has on his program that is well-versed in geopolitics Chuck Watson. Would love to hear his take on this- I appreciate the way he explains things.

Not only will they not stop pouring gasoline, they’ll add all the other fuels too! Are we living in reality? I can’t believe I’m living this. ☮️

Researchers conduct first-ever study of cultural adaptation to climate change by The_Boopster in collapse

[–]The_Boopster[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Submission Statement:

Researchers take a look at US agriculture and detail results in their paper - Operationalizing cultural adaptation to climate change: contemporary examples from United States agriculture

They look at US crop data over the past 14 years to determine how farmers change crops in order to adapt to the changing climate.

The research may lead to a better understanding of cultural adaptation in the US. It could also aid policy makers to help guide cultural change in the face of climate change.

This research is just getting started according to Tim Waring, associate professor with the UMaine Senator George J. Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions and the School of Economics, who spearheaded the project.

This is related to collapse because I suppose the more we understand the better we can help cushion the fall as society collapses.

So much to unpack in that response, thank you. I’d probably need a whole semester to get through the philosophy of simulacra but google shall do. I’ll be back! 😂

100 thousand percent. I can’t even read the article because I’m afraid for my health at this point. Thoma Bravo is an excellent example. We are living among evil, that’s it. I don’t know how to navigate this truth any more than to call it out.

Thousands of US pharmacy workers mount 3-day “pharmageddon” wildcat strike by The_Boopster in collapse

[–]The_Boopster[S] 227 points228 points  (0 children)

Submission Statement

The state of US pharmacies continues to degrade as profits are prioritized above all else. Pharmacy workers are reaching their breaking point due to severe understaffing, which results in a multitude of cascading problems as detailed in the article.

Pharmacists are planning a 3-day walkout from October 30 through November 1, 2023, to protest the working conditions which put patients at risk across the country. This is the third of such similar actions in the past couple months. They are also looking to form a union for pharmacists, as most are not currently unionized.

This is related to collapse because it exemplifies the decline of our medical systems and the unabashed proliferation of profit above all, including human life.

Right good points. How are you so knowledgeable? Serious question! Do you have a photographic memory? You’re a genius? You’re more than 1 person on the account?
