这期讲最近美国汽车工人罢工的节目听的我鸡皮疙瘩都起来了,就是罢工真的也需要强有力的领导人和聪明的策略,传统的汽车工人罢工是大家一起罢工,然后向几个著名的巨头施压,但是近二十年工会越来越弱势,汽车工人待遇越来越差,传统罢工已经没有用了,汽车巨头已经能够提前准备和应对(因为集体罢工会提前通知时间和地点)。
但今天汽车工人工会选了个新的工会主席,他们的策略开始改变,罢工不再是同时罢工,而是每次选择不同的地方,汽车巨头根本搞不清楚。尤其是第一次和福特谈判时,福特没有提供更好的契约,于是这个新主席直接给福特最大的工厂的工会打电话说“现在让你们的工人离开工厂”,然后当天福特德州的那个工厂就开始shut down。两周后福特就和UAE签订了新的合同,而这次汽车工人开始罢工到结束也只持续了六周,但新签的合同整个待遇提高了非常多,成长待遇翻倍。然后UAE现在的野心是联合美国南部没有加入汽车工人工会的工人群体,那边主要都是日厂。

對Mintz 2018的dissertation尤其感興趣,是york u的!!
单独把这段回复截出来发一下:
即使是人群千分之一不到的早发性阿兹海默,也要五十多岁以后才会出现,非早发性的一般要70岁,如果象友还是三四十岁,就短期内不用太担心自己
如果是长期担忧,情况是这样的:现在科学还没有明确这个病的病因,在这个病的病友家属群里,流传着这样一句话,六分靠基因,四分靠打拼。从患者群体看,这个病的出现有一半甚至更多都是基因问题,如果家里有病史,要更加小心,但也不是固定遗传的疾病,只是基因提高风险
在基因影响的基础上,还强调注意后天社交,是因为这个病对家属的照护压力实在太大,属于家属角度为自己的未来买保险,都应该鼓励长辈去社交的程度
除了频繁社交活动之外,其它的已被证实的正面影响因素包括:频繁参与智力活动,频繁参与体育活动不久坐,地中海饮食,及时控制高血压高血脂等慢性疾病,及时控制听力问题,适当补充营养品(鱼油,维生素b12,钙等)

听力这个大家真的可以注意下家里人,我家里有一位就是上了年纪以后耳背,我们觉得年纪大了都这样,就没重视,数年以后才了解到有比较昂贵的助听器可以显著提升老人的听力质量,赶快买了,但此时老人已经因为这个病初期,记性很差依从性也很差,很难说服他常戴助听器了。
什麽是debility(緩慢地傷害他人/製造死亡)
When we think about disability, we often focus on the moment an individual becomes disabled. For example, if someone becomes disabled after an accident, we focus on that event. But what happens when getting hurt happens slowly to a group of people because of how that group is treated? We need a way to understand the larger contexts around disability.
There’s a word that can help us understand the process of hurting people slowly: debility. Debility explains how people get hurt every day. Debility says that having a body that is hurt or works differently from others is very common. We can miss how it is common it is when we only think of Disability Rights. People need accessibility and accessibility means freedom from slow violence. This is very different from how we usually think about accessibility.
Debility can include 3 things: getting hurt because of work, what kind of care someone gets, and how someone’s race affects their ability to work or receive care. Depending on these things, someone might have capacities apart from how they may identify with disability. It all depends on how someone is affected by work, care, and race.
When we talk about debility, we include people who do not identify as disabled but are hurt or excluded in some way. Debility helps us understand that it’s not so easy to separate ability and disability.
Disability and debility are both important concepts. They work together. We can use Disability Rights for people who identify as disabled. But we also need to think about what people experiencing debility need. If we do this, we can expand and strengthen our work.
