Absolutely human stampede events happen. What the article is pointing out is the majority of related deaths are preventable, as are the stampede events themselves.

Typically people don't just fall over and get trampled to death. Instead, doors don't open the right way, egress paths are blocked, there are tripping hazards, poor signage, poor crowd control, etc, which leads to incidents where people are hurt or killed. It happens but it's easily prevented.

Edit: I now work in a related field, so this is kinda my jam. It's wild.

Striking is like adopting a pet or having a kid - there's never a perfect time, which means it's ALWAYS the perfect time! Arrange a strike and adopt a puppy today!

Same, and I'm sorry. It was Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage for me. I remember realizing my father was an idiot at an earlier age than I might have otherwise because the arguments those two morons made were obviously so, so bad yet he just ate it all up.

I think NPR does a good job providing talk radio type material that isn't repellant to people with critical thinking skills.

Do you consider their offerings substantially different than talk radio?

If you're extra lucky, it'll still be running on the original included demo toner cartridge.

DON'T U LOVE FREEDUM?!

But what about God fearing, white Christians Americans?! They have a conditional right to not have to deal with pesky "other cultures" and "thinking critically about issues".

Same, during a boss fight in Elden Ring. I died.

But why would he do this? Isn't he a FREE SPEECH ABSOLUTIST?!

/s, Musk is a moron

My wife also works in HR and I now work in an adjacent department, EHS. I came to post pretty much the same as you did.

I will add that it's interesting reading these threads and seeing the conspiracy theory type comments uniformly painting HR across the world. They speak as if the employees that comprise HR have no agency or are uniformly of one mindset, protecting the company at all costs, even though that doesn't benefit them personally at all. It's a simple solution for a complex situation, so it sounds good but doesn't hold up under the merest scrutiny.

We get the same shit in EHS, how we're just there to prevent company liability and don't really care. It's quite frustrating since it's anything but true and tends to be perpetuated by employees who don't actually engage with EHS, so they don't actually know who we are or what we do. Reading through the comments, it's much the same here.

But if you're on the Internet and not providing unsolicited, passive-aggressive advice, are you REALLY on the Internet?
