    the inability to be able to rent it at a profit usually. If they don’t think they can get money out of it, they won’t want to. If the economy hits a point where the housing market collapses, chances are they aren’t going to want to risk the buy in knowing that they likely won’t be able to sell for equal amount.

    Or the much faster method: the “scary” government regulating it

    I want to add, as someone who was in charge of reprovisioning high school laptops during training. Please only sticker bomb computers you actually own if it’s a system that you’ve been lent from a school district or employer please leave the stickers elsewhere. It looks cute and cuddly, but I assure you the next person in line is not going to be impressed with the permanent sticker marks from where the stickers had been on which had unequal fading

    from a personal point of view, not losing your job is a pretty big benefit. But if you are looking strictly from an ecological viewpoint, just because they couldn’t make a change on /this/ order doesn’t mean they cant do anything with future orders. It’s not a black or white issue. This order may have left very little wiggle room,but the next orders might just say an end goal, and may be able to manipulated in a way to downscale the effectiveness of the order while still obtaining the same result. If they are no longer in that position, that potential is no longer present.

    This is like saying “That soldier followed orders and killed a non-combatant, so might as well replace him with a person who loves killing non-combatants.”

    I’m conflicted on this (as in the topic). I have no argument that the information should have remained public. but like, what is the alternative that the employees had? The only outcome not obeying that direction would be is termination. Being terminated for not following direction would help nobody, the information would still not be available to the public, and the workers would be out of a job. Plus workers terminated would be replaced with workers who were not passionate about climate change, so if a more minor of a problem came up, they couldn’t skew it in a less destructive matter. The workers were dealt a shitty hand and did what they could with it.

    Being said, love the idea! I wish we could have more of a say in stuff like this. 😀





  • Since it’s a new community, there’s an increased effort of people spamming sending posts more than usual to try to have it gain more traction, I do expect that eventually it will calm down again once all this drama blows over.

    I also think that now there’s essentially going to be two different 196s, or maybe three that are actively used because there’s going to be the people who didn’t bother leaving, the people who left, and now of course they’ve opened up another “official” channel on LW which is seeing activity.
