I just refuse to order off Uber Eats or Doordash. Does that count as not punishing the drivers?

I get that you’re trying to do a reductio ad absurdum but your post really falls flat on its face.

The Roman Empire no longer exists in any shape or form.

The United States of America is a surviving institution that has continuity to its darker history as it pertains to slavery.

The problem is not simply that slavery is causing some sort of moral taint; it’s that there are still institutions today that continue to have advantages that stem from the unjust practice of slavery in the US.

Ugh, gig workers need to be brought into some semblance of a minimum wage. Uber and Doordash are just techstortion.

Informed consent laws were around well before The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks came out. I think there were earlier publicized examples of subject mistreatment (like Tuskegee) that already pushed the field to be better.

23andme requires you to agree to what they ask, which is far more than what Johns Hopkins did for Henrietta Lacks.

Nah I think it was when Nixon won the Presidency. You can draw a straight line from that corrupt fuck to so many of our current problems.

You either need to go back to school or you have some weird-ass fetish for endoscopy

Is he lying? He’s just dressing formally and showing off how heels don’t have to be just for women.
