A legendary road trip!

Cartoon showing the backyard of a house. Two persons are standing next to various thrash bins, while one says: ‘No, that goes into the green bin. C’mon, the govt really want us to get this right’. Behind the backyard, we see massive data centers of Google, Amazon and Meta.
Data centers have a massive environmental impact. Today’s cartoon by @infiniteguff.com. More cartoons: www.cartoonmovement.com

Based on what happened to me at my previous job, I now think these consultations are nothing but a legal formality and no matter what reasonable feasible alternatives you offer, they will have already decided.

Those are the people who the rest of the population can protect by getting a vaccine. But when people won’t even do things in their own interest, what hope do the rest of us have?
This is a big part of what is wrong with humans. Not only is she not willing to protect the vulnerable in general, she’s not even willing to protect her own children because she’s a fool. :/

Had this one around for a while - you can see that whenever I get access to a digital newspaper archive, I look for stuff about grave diggers! I’m digging for the resurrectionists myself. ;)

Yes. It did happen too, as far as I can tell- not as often as people came to think it did, but enough for the anxiety to be real, I reckon. With developments in resuscitation as well, and those who were ‘dead’ being saved, people seem to have turned to decay as their only surety.
