You're talking to a brick wall. His retort will likely be something along the lines of: "like I said, don't go to concerts then". The idea of including people that have some kind of hardship is totally foreign to so many people. Even when it's something simple that harms no one, takes nothing away from anybody, and they wouldn't even be aware of going on unless someone told them about it. Hopefully I'm wrong though! And I appreciate that someone still has the patience to shout into the void the obvious human compassion that should be the bare minimum standard though!

"Unions will make everything cost more and corporations won't make record profits that don't actually stay in the province but we pretend that this money actually benefits the people who it is actually screwing"

I'm part of a large union in Alberta and the government pressure to try to break it has been intense.

We have been dying from the moment the gametes that we are composed of were created.

Scenario A: Dad rubs one out or mom has a period, and your gametes were in those discharges, which shortly after die.

Scenario B: A boy gamete and girl gamete meet and you are conceived, yay! But wait a tik, bazzel: that means life is being created. But everything that is living is dying at the inversely proportional same rate. That means from conception, death is being created in your mothers womb, because of your fathers big boom.

The really dumb thing is that my boss has the longest commute of all of us, and he's been overseas for the last 2 weeks for his mother's funeral, but as a workaholic, he's still been working fine. I do wonder at the dissonance of "you can't work from home because it would be bad for productivity, even though I m working from 7 time zones away with no problem".
