The largest consumer conglomerates are cutting their financial forecasts for the year, predicting lower sales and profits than before. That includes Pepsi (which also owns Frito-Lay and Quaker Oats), Kimberly-Clark (which makes Kleenex, Huggies and Scott toilet paper) and Procter & Gamble (which makes Tide, Pampers and Charmin).

This is the first wave of corporate earnings reports since President Trump imposed 145% tariffs on Chinese goods and a 10% tariff on all global imports earlier this month. A 25% tariff on imported aluminum also affects companies that need a lot of cans or foils.

Until recently, most consumer giants stuck to the word "uncertainty" to describe the future. Now, they've begun offering more specifics.

Kimberly-Clark estimates that the trade war will add $300 million in new costs for the company. Procter & Gamble warned it may raise prices to offset new expenses. Chipotle saw anxious shoppers cut back on burrito bowls.

1st Recognized U.S. Fast Food Union (2016)

Tue Apr 26, 2016

On this day in 2016, the Burgerville Workers Union (BVWU) formed with the help of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), eventually becoming the first formally recognized fast food union in the United States.

The fight for formal recognition took more than two years of worker-led organizing and strikes at multiple stores. In 2018, BVWU successfully applied for National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) election.

On September 18th, 2018, National Cheeseburger Day, Burgerville workers went on strike, staging a picket in front of the Montavilla Burgerville location due to issues in bargaining and conflict over a ban on workers wearing Black Lives Matter and Abolish ICE buttons at work.

"We hope to lead a like a torchlight so that someone can say 'well, Burgerville did it, why can't we?'" said Alexander, one of the workers. "We hope to start the snowball effect."

I'm a bot and I'm open source

Since the great freedom country is going after wikipedia now, I was wondering if there was a way to selfhost it somehow.

I fear that these idiots will fuck it up in the near future. I will download the text version but is there a way to help keep it alive outside us?

I currently have the 24G2 which is 24 inch and 1080P. It was great but it unfortunately kind of died. White lines, lagging with tougher games and such. So I was researching for a good gaming (and productivity) monitor and found the DELL G2724D. The DELL looked gorgeous compared to the old 24G2. Unfortunately though, insane amount of glow – to the point I just returned it and asked money back.

Now I’m kind of uncertain which monitor to get, I read reviews and all reviews on IPS panels have a lot of complains about the glow. I then researched about OLED, Q-OLED and kind of fell in love. Was ready to purchase one until, I was not. I found out it’s not a good match for productivity usage due to burn-in issue (Excel and Word). So kind of stuck now.

I was thinking about the ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS or LG UltraGear 27GR83. But I have bad experience with the ASUS before (bought it and would not turn on, might be just bad luck?) and I read different opinions on the UltraGear one. I’m still on the fence for an OLED/Q-OLED but don’t want to purchase another monitor after 1-2 years of gaming and office work. Got told about Mini-LED but they seem not really available in my country.

Any recommendation, tips and such would be really appreciated!

Note: There are many communities about gaming, so was not sure in whcih to post. This one seemed to fit the most since the others were mostly posts with news articles regard gaming and technology.

When the day is fading and the light is making everything orange, the wind stops, the air becomes warmer, just for some minutes. Looks like the nature is saluting the approaching night, through a daily, eternal solemn rite.

This brief article discusses the possibility of near-term human extinction (NTHE) and reviews the scientific evidence supporting the case that NTHE may come to pass.

From the article,

The combined effects of the exponential rise of global heating, paired with the chaotic and uncontrollable momentum of cascading positive feedback loops in the climate caused by crossing irreversible tipping points, are already driving global temperatures to a difference of geological proportions before the end of this decade.

. . .

Just one major event could effectively eradicate the now fatally precarious conditions of human habitat on this planet and swiftly seal our fate into extinction.

The article addresses the following questions / points:

• Is near-term human extinction really possible?

• How soon is “near-term”?

• Is there any scientific research supporting the case for near-term human extinction?

• Where we are — a snapshot

• Sudden events likely to cause human extinction

• Scientists’ final warnings fall on deaf ears

• Final note on science and "certainty"

This is collapse-related because, with the rapidly approaching collapse of industrial civilization (considered by many to be the only realistic scenario we are looking at in the near-future), the possibility for near-term human extinction skyrockets.

We are locked into a trajectory of planetary annihilation and show no signs of slowing.

Further detail in providing an overview of our collective circumstance is continued in the article.
