I was just thinking this myself, not much of a coder but there is more to code than just writing code, you need to be able to actually think how and who is going to use the end code, etc. and be competent, learn and learning requires a lot more skill.

That needs to happen here too, we need to teach about Empire, BOTH the good and bad parts, the good being taking railways to the world, and our inventive and innovation history. The bad being slavery, subjugation and control of other people, the corruption in the British east india company, the partition of india, and even the creation of isreal from Palestine which was a British protectorate. Even in WWI citizens of other countries, even Africa, as they were seen as british subjects were expected and conscripted and conscripted for Empire, even though they were 1000s of miles away from the front line, if I understand this correctly this is what brought down the British Empire.

This has to be taught so that we never again end up with countries invading others and taking ownership, also teach about Spanish, French and other Empires. This then leads on to Slavery the slave trade and how people profited and gained power from this, sowed the seeds of what we have to day capitalism where a few rich people just tred on everyone else.

Now more than ever as we explore the solar system, so we do so differently and don't just claim a moon, planet or asteroid in the name of humanity and exploit it.

Indeed, tjis also gives staff the flexibility to dress according to their health, as long as people look decent who cares.

My argument is if you are say a web designer, and I need a website, when we meet to discuss you look professional, and you can expect the same from me being the client. What you choose to wear when you make the website is up to you, you could wear a expensive dinnner jacket or nothing at all, who cares as long as the job is done properly, if working from home, dress code becomes even more non important and probably reflects the current conditions so in 35c heat, you wear less.

The janitors should be paid properly, in the absence of janitorial staff, the management are perfectly capable of using cleaning equipment, perhaps after a day or two of having to clear up, they will then make an effort to also treat the janitorial staff better, and of course pay them more.

In which case we can probably deduce someone decided to cut corners from start to finish of this transport operation, I think in general there are strict rules on handling all substances, depending on their hazard level. They are there to be followed not ignored due to some time or financial constraint.

Needs to be investigated, those who failed held to account, retrained or sacked. So that this won't happen again. What if next time it is a more dangerous substance. ?

I thought it was in a container,

I found watching the football movie Remember The Titans, helped open my eyes to what was happening in the US. But is still happening now, so it does in a small way help me to understand.

It is sad that things have not progressed much in 50 years.

Agreed, and they know this so how long before school boards are replaced with the minions who will do the bidding of these republicans ?

Sounds good to me, hopefully this will influence more people to take up Astronomy, esp those in under-represented communities.
