irritating as fuck when people get mad at Black people existing in premodern historical fiction/fantasy media. like first of all, you're racist. and second of all, you are acting as though Black people didn't exist in premodern Europe which is simply false. especially when we're talking about the Mediterranean, like what the fuck do you people think is along the southern half of the Mediterranean Ocean?? everyone's on boats, there are GOING to be interactions with Black people in Northern Africa, and there are GOING to be Black people in Mediterranean Europe. stop being stupid. your imagined homogeneous white European past is not historical reality, get over it you massive losers

Mexico cuts workweek, bans after-hours contact, and guarantees no worker will take a pay cut in the most sweeping labor reform in a generati

Mexico amends its constitution to cut the maximum workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030 and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ign

Mexico amends its constitution to cut the maximum workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030 and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ignore their boss’s calls, messages, and emails after their shift ends, in the most significant overhaul of Mexican labor law in a generation.

Mexico has rewritten its constitution to guarantee every worker in the country a shorter working week, a legal right to switch off from work after hours, and a guarantee that no employer can cut their pay in response, enacting in a single legislative package a set of labor rights that workers in wealthier countries have spent decades campaigning for without success.

[gatorpearl]

There are companies trying to fight this because they wanted more work hours per week instead of less, despite Mexico being one of the countries with the longest legal work day (as in, without counting overtime, paid or otherwise). So far the only thing that's happened is that a compromise was reached to make this rollout go soft (reducing 2 hours/week per year until 2030) and iirc some regions (like mine) have asked for a time extension on top of that, probably because this change fucks with pre-existing B2B contracts (and because let's face it, companies don't want to have to ask for less from their workers).

But yeah, this is real and excellent news.

Okay I saw these notes too and like... I'm not gonna say "yeah trust a government blindly, nothing bad can come out of that", but the intent being that the rollout finishes before elections happen means that

this is not a scenario of "thing doesn't come into effect because another president comes in and goes 'yeah no I'm not doing that'"

as a measure of it serving as propaganda in favor of Sheinbaum's political party, it being enacted immediately or it being rolled out gradually serves essentially the same purpose

If the next government disagrees with this measure they'd still have to undo the already enacted thing, instead of just deciding not to enact it, which is an entirely different thing with different consequences.

And it can't be effective immediately because companies are applying pressure. Mexico still depends a lot on foreign companies that might prefer to just end the contract with Mexico instead of feeling forced to abide by a law. Remember, Mexico currently has a "leftist" government (scare quotes completely intentional, we're still far from actual leftism but well, where's the Overton window at the moment? yep, you guessed it) and there's a lot of pressure to pull it right back to the right where it was during the presidencies of Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderón, who just fucked our country up real bad.

It's actually kind of impressive how the Nintendo Direct voiceovers manage to communicate via inflection alone which specific words in the script have a ™ after them.

You know the parable about how the foolish man built his house upon sand and the wise man built his house upon rock and it’s always about having a sturdy foundation well there is also the fact of location which is that the sand probably used to be rock except it’s been eroded to sediment because it’s a FUCKING FLOODPLAIN

I can't remember who said it but I saw a comment or tweet talking about hypocrisy that essentially said The Hypocrisy Is The Point. hypocrisy is power. it's the ability to set rules for everyone else except you. and if power is a virtue then hypocrisy is a virtue. it's why you never really get anywhere with "by your logic..." or "then wouldn't that mean...". it's not that they don't realize they're being hypocritical. they do it on purpose to prove that you have to listen to them and they don't have to listen to you
