Ooh I'll definitely be looking into these when I have more room. Not for breeding I just like looking at fish. I'd be a terrible breeder I'm so forgetful.

Big oof. India seems to be doing much better on their minority policy than even United Kingdom is. Seems the West may not be the Bastion of so-called Freedom anymore
I was going to say that's still better than the Lemmy scene.
What's are medaka?
I just found like 5 minutes looking around on Google this was one of the first results: https://www.epi.org/blog/most-minimum-wage-studies-have-found-little-or-no-job-loss/
I understand that this would eat into your profits and would probably eat into the amount of money that you can make off a business like this But if the business is not viable Paying a living wage where the minimum should be 30 an hour then the environment is not correct for that business and the business isn't viable.
I don't want to sound cruel but for a long time businesses have gotten away with paying people pennies for work that they should have been paying dollars.
Who cares? Study after study show that stores and corporations can swallow these costs and even when passed on to the consumer the increase is much less then thought.
Besides as long as people can afford groceries I don't think people will care if restaurant and fast food are a bit more expensive
I really like their personality. They're kind of like smarter Guppies. They are very all over the place in the tank I really like their behavior and I think it's really really cool to see. the ones that I've been taking care of for a really long time seem to know who I am And don't fight super roughly if I'm trying to get them out.
Fish are cool man so I swear they're really conscious and actually recognize us and what's going on in their little worlds
Yeah things will get worse in some ways and things will get better in others. Not that it balances out but it's not like there won't be objectively good things that happen in the future.
I have hope. We shall see what the future holds for us
Highly recommend. I could give you some advice to help save as much money as possible if you're interested.
Setting up aquariums is really really fun just make sure you know how to cycle an aquarium before you do so otherwise you may go through some heartbreak with your fish.
Oh and Fritz bacterial products are no joke.
I think things are getting worse for white people exactly the way you say. I think for minorities though it's kind of always been this bad or even worse made by people being far more racist.
Things are still pretty systemically racist but there has been somewhat of a correction and that probably does result in things being a bit better for some minorities.
Ultimately I think that means that We live in better times today because they're more accepting than we did Even 20 years ago.
As far as getting by I think things have been like this for a really really long time and people were patient and sold a crock of shit and with covid it's forcing a lot of these things to come to a head.
Not only that Trump himself is a governmental crisis and when there's chaos in the government there's absolutely chaos in society. Simmering tensions tend to get exposed.
Oh I see so we're coming from a very different places. We don't have nearly the type of safety net that you guys do out in the Netherlands. I'm sure you guys definitely have your problems and your fair share of issues but to Americans it feels like the United States is literally collapsing around us.
Like most of us if we lose our job we're probably going to lose the place we live as well. It's not uncommon to have to move back with your parents to couch surf after you lose a job. The minimum wage in America doesn't even cover like a car payment for a decent car. It's not nearly enough to live on it's being basically given change all day and then ask to live on it on top of the fact that you're treated like absolute crap. You have zero say in your work and how it's done and if you have problems with your boss your boss can just fire you because they feel like it. As long as it's not one of the discriminated categories with of which there are only five they can fire you for anything up to and including the color of your shirt at any time without notice. And in many places in the United States if you get fired you may not qualify for unemployment or any of the state assistance.
The absolute only way to make it out here is to get a job that pays enough money so that you can find a place to live and have Private health insurance. If you can get on the Medicaid system it's actually not bad but they'll take it away from from you over getting things like a bonus or maybe a dollar in raise.
We live in a capitalist hell hole where we can't hold anybody to account. We can't hold our politicians to account. We can't hold our police to account. Nor can we hold our justices to account.
The government has determined we all just have to grin and bear it and pray they don't alter the deal any further to take more from us.
That's why you're going to see a lot of business apathy from those in America because we've been screwed most of our lives and are tired of it. It's very blatant and very obvious
