i like my supervisor
he's a proffessor of toxicology and he's been getting on Environment Canterbury's case about silica dust from a business that... does something with rock? to make gib board
ECan's notorious for being shite at what it's supposed to do bc it has a great deal of business interest in it but he made enough of a fuss and went to the news and everything
their proposed solution? make everyone in the affected town wear masks when outdoors
"what the fucking hell!?" he actually legit replied
Your supervisor is, as my mother likes to say, a gentleman and a scholar.
anyway they've caved and issued an abatement notice
: D exactly he's such a great guy
i'm lucky to have him even if he's really busy with eight of us
Were they seriously just planning to have people wear masks indefinitely? Like, was this a temporary thing or did they honestly think 'yeah this is fine forever'?
Fuck, were they even planning to provide the masks or were they intending to complete the whole dystopian theme here by making people buy them for themselves?
WHO KNOWS. i have no idea of the time frame they were thinking, but given as they were literally 'how can we make this the victim's responsibility'
(these people have been breathing in the dust for a while)
it doesn't bode well

i think they were gonna supply the masks, but I'm not sure of that either. again, didn't bode well
basically taking a grab at the low hanging fruit of solutions that require least possible effort/repercussion from them and getting rightfully smacked with a rolled up newspaper
sometimes good things do happen
