A newly formed Ministry of Urban Farming encourages people to grow tomatoes and raise chickens on their patios and rooftops. Another campaign encourages Venezuelans to breed rabbits for the table. At a recent news conference, Freddy Bernal, the urban farm minister, declared: “We need people to understand that a rabbit is not a pet. It’s two and a half kilos of meat.”

hahaha

"President Nicolás Maduro blames the country’s woes on an “economic war” against his government by rightwingers and foreign interests.

But his critics say his government has disrupted domestic food production by expropriating farms and factories. Meanwhile, price controls designed to make food more widely available to poorer people have had the opposite effect: many prices have been set below the cost of production, forcing food producers out of business. "

you fuckface leftists at the guardian, I don't even know what punishment is apt for this article

#Shithole

holy shit is that an industry publication, are those numbers reliable?

oh my god that's the best article I've read since the last best article I read

Really?

wow

Is my island saved?

no, islam will fuck you still

but there might be hope for some other countries if these statistics get spread around to talking heads

"The data comes from a jobseekers' site. Presumably it's the advertised salaries that are 10% higher. "

yes but there's plenty of other good numbers in the article, from all sorts of industries

hmm

"We secured the best new graduates for software engineering roles, but we noticed something: they were all male. We made a number of offers to female candidates, but none accepted. The result? An all-male hiring class that didn’t reflect Duolingo’s values around a diverse workforce."

that must be like literally so traumatizing you guys

To be fair I hate 100% male working environment

yeah in my experience 100% male environments often automatically degrade to the lowest common denominator

"For the purpose of this post, we are referring to male and female genders, although we recognize that many other genders exist. ↩"

Lol wtf am i reading you guys advocating for some level of diversity?

I had a all male dept and it was turning into a Frat House

I was going to hire a woman

but I had good candidate lined up

RIGGED

I haven't really made up my mind on the issue - in an office environment, it can certainly be a positive thing to have both men and women present, as long as they're not allowed to organize meetings or run any departments

at the same time, personally I count that under the word "diversity"

I _don't_ count that, I mean

What do you mean by run depts and organise meetings?

I mean wouldn't you guys normally classify that as diversity - because you are replacing male hires for women?

that article, yes, they are fuckwits who should be shot

Oh yea i wouldn't advocate for 50/50, but do you agree it shouldn't be 100/0?
