so predictable that the rich would blame a labour shortage in the service industry on “CERB making it too easy” and not how toxic and precarious the industry is. CERB is $2,000 and taxable. that’s not even a living wage but yes sorry u can’t get a margarita in 5 seconds
like i dare u to try serving as ur livelihood — not a 5 minute stint at ur family friend’s country club for a summer job in high school. customers harass servers, sexual assault at work and livelihoods based on tips bc of low wages
and now that our governments are allowing local restaurants to become attacked by anti-v*xxers, who do you think gets the brunt of that? why would ANYONE want to return? low-wage employees don't need that shit
ive said this so many times but make it a high school requirement for everyone to do a year of serving, retail or customer-facing jobs. would help people swimming in privilege stfu and be better humans
hilarious that instead of elevated discourse on how the richest evade tax and profit in a pandemic, some really think their calling is to yell on a bird app at low-income/unemployed ppl on a temporary benefit. channel ur angry typing elsewhere, like here:

a jewish and muslim high school student wrote me about how they saw teens consume news on israel and palestine. born into social media, they recognize how it’s a tool for activism, but also erases nuance and causes more hate

they write #InTheirOwnVoices

they break down social media algorithms and how teens consume news via flashy infographic IG posts; but that the sources are sometimes inaccurate. also, the more you engage with certain topics the more it feeds you things you want to see thestar.com/opinion/contri…
to all parents/older people, these high school students shed light on how teens consume news. it’s not to say that social media is bad — “it’s a good starting point for research,” but that more work should be done to think critically thestar.com/opinion/contri…

in may, top doctors and experts have faced hacks and impersonations on social media. it’s caused personal safety issues as they receive hate and even death threats. i spoke to @jkwan_md, @BogochIsaac, @SharkawyMD + @deonandan on navigating the toxicity

thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…
recently, @SharkawyMD’s facebook was hacked. spam messages were sent to his contacts. thankfully he regained access but the hate that comes in forms of voice mails — one that wished his whole family died of cancer — make him question his personal safety thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…
recently @jkwan_md — who shares daily COVID-19 graphs and info — was impersonated by a twitter account that used her photos. she quickly reported the issue (having to show government ID) and had it fixed. but bots and trolls are still all too common thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…

a horrible third wave, friends behind hwy 413, no accessible paid sick days, voting down a bill for 10 paid sick days, bill 124 capping salary for nurses, huge ICU numbers, blackberry 2014, that “stay home” language video that butchered pronunciation, vaccine hunger games
mining claims increasing in grassy narrows territory where suspected mercury dumps haven’t be excavated, attempts to close the border, attempts to turn away foreign students, ministers on vacation, ignoring the science table

so many people thought that the 18+ hot spot announcement from the beginning of april would be something that would be available by end of week / the next week. almost a month later, it’s here and perhaps if that premature announcement wasn’t made it wouldn’t feel so chaotic
like gen z / millennials were basically born into the internet — that isn’t “soon” on their timelines lol
tbh quoting from people via DMs on IG, the premature 18+ ontario announcement has been one of the main things that brought younger people (who didn’t feel governments were accessible) up to speed with how slow and “performative” government processes are
