Oh, fuck off. I am one of those people, I have been for the last 15 years. And I believe I have the right to go peacefully when I decide to. That others force me to suffer because they might be sad is incredibly selfish of them. So take you

CEO's love spouting that they have all the responsibility, so chuck them in jail for 50 years. They do so much more damage to the society than even murderers, it's time for some fucking accountability.

And if no one does anything, in 5 years it will be a 1000, in 10 years 5000. As it is right now, the only voice governments hear is that of corpos, and corpos want to preserve the influence of corpos. That's why we need to force the ba

The ones in control of money and the ones in charge of running their lab and hiring postdocs are not the same people. If you can't hire a postdoc for shitty salary, then that shitty salary can be repurposed for something else. The form
