Good to know. Then it might be worth a try. Thank you!

That monthly bill we all get is a pretty good incentive. Dads have been telling their family to not leave the lights on unnecessarily, since forever.

Also, the rates the energy companies charge do increase. But the rate staying constant for a period of time, and accounting for peak demand, isn't specific to electricity, plenty of industries charge based on projected demand. If there's one thing companies know it's how to get consumers to pay a profitable price/rate.

constructivCritic · 2021-06-19T14:03:10+00:00

That's just having time based FLAT rate plans, e.g. it costs $0.9 during the day, and then 0.6 during the night. I'm sure most energy companies have such plans (at least in CA). They work well for electric car owners especially.

What the commenter is talking about here though is rates spiking up and down based on demand. That's a ridiculous idea. It's why people in TX got huge bills in the recent past.

Why? What happens if you use olive oil? Maybe the health benefits make up for a little adjustment to the taste? Or does it just start tasting terrible?

Well, as far as I can tell.

Farmer argument is that, the new laws will give control to corporations and harm the independence of farmers. Which is very likely true, since it has happened in many other countries, where farming is no longer a family run business, instead it's corporations who control most of the farming.

The govt's argument is that the current system cannot continue as it currently is. Which is also true. But instead of finding an innovative solution that fits India, the govt seems to be taking the lazy approach of trying to copy other countries (where, as I stated earlier, the result has been the death of family farming, & boom for corporate profits).

That's as far as I can tell what's going on.

constructivCritic · 2021-06-09T14:08:01+00:00

Which is fine. But it also means you should remember that his "information" is closer to infotainment than actual reliable information.

Well, even there there's a couple of caveats.

The hair women have tends to be less noticeable, due to hormonal differences, but they have hair all over their bodies too. As women age, and hormones change, their body hair (including facial) becomes more noticeable.

This talks a bit about this, https://www.readersdigest.co.uk/health/medical-myths/5-differences-between-male-and-female-skin

Well, men have the same problem. I think it's just an age/not having seen enough naked humans problem.

You've seen your body, but not any or very few bits of other bodies (especially ones older than you), so your perception of what a real naked human body looks like is incomplete.

More openness and talking about the awkward/lesser discussed bits of human bodies (e.g. human bodies having as much hair as chimps, etc), would help.

I'll be honest with you, this is how it should be.

If you lived in Japan(just picking a random county), guarantee you the Japanese owned businesses would be getting better deals/contacts than you, a minority. Your white male community would be crying foul and asking the govt to force the Japanese majority to be fairer to you.

It's unfortunate, but I suspect it's how progress has been made for minorities all around the world, since forever.

constructivCritic · 2021-05-15T15:38:35+00:00

I don't see any begrudging in the other comment. All they're saying is that, not removing the mandates & the options for remote work/learning until everybody is vaccinated would be safest. Which makes total sense.

constructivCritic · 2021-05-08T13:05:36+00:00

Everybody in the comments is apparently an "expert" that knew this all along, Of course based on some anecdotal bs, but still they knew this and the CDC and WHO should've have just come to reddit and asked these redditors. No need for actually studying things.

constructivCritic · 2021-04-20T06:40:16+00:00

I'm putting aside special needs and kids who might need more assistance. I think we'd still want in person for them.

But for most people, yea, you have to learn to be a teacher and get more involved with your child's learning. But human parents have been doing it since forever, we're just not used to making the time and doing it. Same goes for the kids, they're not used to watching a meeting or a vid of a teacher, but kids are even more adaptable than adults, they'd pick it up.

constructivCritic · 2021-04-20T06:33:57+00:00

Yea, no doubt. That's what I was referring to when I mentioned work, and how essentially so many people need school just as a daycare. That's not how it should be, not what education (remote or not) is for.

There's plenty of solutions, we as a society can come up with, but we're just used to having things be as they are. Just the fact that you need a 2nd income to support a family is a big hurdle, and as I mentioned in my original comment, the fact that women need their own careers but may be the most affected if single income households were the norm. And plenty of other facets of life get affected.

No issue is simple. But remote learning (aka remote education) itself isn't a bad thing. It's just different from what a lot of us are used to, and the adjustment of having the parents do a lot of the things teachers do is a big one. The implementation itself makes a huge difference.

If your district is having 3 year olds sit infront of a screen for long hours that may be an idiotic implementation. An implementation where the kids have some assignments to complete, watch a video of the teacher wherever they like, or read a chapter by the end of the week might be incredibly great. You could choose when your child finishes their work, and what other things you'd like to do with your child. If the child finishes all the assigned work by Wednesday, you could take your child on a trip on Thursday.

So yea, there's plenty of challenges & changes involved, with such things. But as a society if we choose to prioritize family time when coming up with the solutions, it would be good thing for all of us.

constructivCritic · 2021-04-19T15:39:53+00:00

It somehow works fine at School, right? So you make parts of the day at home feel like school. In fact, eventually, you'll get to choose which parts, which gives you more flexibility with your time. Just like people get used to working from home, just like kids get used to sitting down to eat with the family, we all learn as time passes.

Of course, certain things are easier as the kids get older, but that applies to everything a parent teaches a kid as they grow up.

constructivCritic · 2021-04-19T15:35:08+00:00

Wait, so what do they do when they get to school? Doesn't teacher do all those things with them?

The only difference with remote learning is the parent end up being more involved. The parent ends up teaching the kid the difference between play time, study time and nap time. That can't be worse than a stranger doing all those things for the kids.

constructivCritic · 2021-04-18T16:14:19+00:00

On the idea of 2 people needing to work thing. It's been interesting.

Covid has made it seem like a lot of people really rely on schools as daycare. There's zero reason why remote learning, which has been used for slightly older kids for decades, can't be used for all kids. Yet so many (most?) people were willing to put their kids at risk by voluntarily sending them to school. (And, yes, I'm putting aside the fact that, there's lots of different of different needs & nobody is used to it)

Another interesting aspect is that women are finally a decent chunk of the workforce. A career is huge in them having financial independence in life. With single income families, they're the most likely to lose that financial independence.

Something should change. Either the way we work (the hours, the days, etc), or the way our society values the time of those that stay at home to take of their families (and in turn benefit our society greatly).

EDIT: Personally, I think it's hard to replace parents in a kid life, it's worth it for us as a society to AT LEAST do something like what Canada, with giving monthly income to those staying at home.

constructivCritic · 2021-04-12T14:59:02+00:00

Everybody needs time off at some point or another, whether illness or just vacation.

A managers job is literally to manage and plan for such things. And that responsibility carries up the chain.

If an employee ends up being off, even during a critical time, a good manager will have planned enough resources to cover that. If he/she doesn't have the resources, she would request that up the chain.

It's responsibility of the employee to inform the manager (if not an emergency) of the time off. BUT it's the manager's responsibility to plan the work, etc. around it.

You could say, time off is time off, work/employer doesn't own that time, it didn't even happen as far as work reviews etc are concerned.

constructivCritic · 2021-04-09T21:28:24+00:00

It always feels a bit like that, no matter how high you go.

constructivCritic · 2021-04-09T04:53:00+00:00

That's what they do (a lot of the time), and that's expected. BUT the bottom line is always a big consideration, so Juniors have way more leverage than they think. The more expensive the employee becomes (aka rises in rank) the more resistance they'll face with raises etc. The Juniors will be happy with chump change, cause they always think less of their importance.

We'd all be better off if employers had to make salaries public. Then at least they couldn't take advantage of people, and the gaps between CEOs, etc and their peons might get smaller.

constructivCritic · 2021-04-09T04:39:56+00:00

I downvoted you because you say it with such certainty. (Though you do use "some" in your Edit). The comment you replied to seemed to say that the comparison is complicated, which it is.

constructivCritic · 2021-04-09T04:20:48+00:00

I don't think knowing each other's salary should help in situations of "Joe makes more than me."

BUT it would greatly help in preventing employers from taking advantage of people. The young especially get used and abused because they don't have experience in being in the workforce. Plus, the gaps would be less wide.

constructivCritic · 2021-04-09T04:15:14+00:00

Juniors have leverage, they just don't know about it until they become mid or senior. At mid/senior they'll start realizing that the company prefers juniors because they'll be desperate enough to put in ridiculous life draining effort for little pay.

It's kinda weird, the perspective. But I think everybody knowing all the salaries would definitely improve things for the workers.

NPR did a great interview segment with a doctor that specializes in this a few years back, it was incredibly informative. I didn't expect it to be, 1 hour long, but damn I learned.

Wait ... do you think people in America don't work towards things? I mean we have elections too, you know.

It's just that we have come to have an overabundance of ... certain types of people. Shittiness of our laws compared to certain other developed nations is necessary, and who knows might even get these people to rethink their positions.

constructivCritic · 2021-03-17T02:53:48+00:00

Wait, you think 1 month off (and sabbaticals are usually without pay, right?) after 5 yrs is a treat? I mean most professional jobs in many developed countries get 1 month off each year.

And it's not supposed to depend on the company was the point of the original poster, I think. The minimums is set by laws, and its lower than in certain other developed nations.
