‘A new Chile’: political elite rejected in vote for constitutional assembly | Chile | The Guardian

Chile’s established political elite has been roundly rejected at the polls six months ahead of a pivotal presidential election, as the country turned to a progressive new generation to write the next chapter in its history.

Resounding victories for leftist and independent candidates saw rightwing politicians crash to dismal electoral defeats alongside those with links to Chile’s transition to democracy.

Nurse who cared for Boris Johnson resigns over ‘lack of respect’ for NHS workers | NHS | The Guardian

Jenny McGee, who kept vigil by the prime minister’s bedside for two days when he was in intensive care, also revealed that his staff had later attempted to co-opt her into a “clap for the NHS” photo opportunity with him during what she thought would be a discreet thank you visit to Downing Street.

“We’re not getting the respect and now pay that we deserve. I’m just sick of it. So I’ve handed in my resignation,” said McGee, referring to the government’s proposed 1% pay rise for NHS staff, which unions have described as a “kick in the teeth”.

She was also critical of the government’s handling of the Covid crisis, adding: “Lots of nurses felt that the government hadn’t led very effectively – the indecisiveness, so many mixed messages. It was just very upsetting.”

Young people demand vaccination requirements for reopening – Axios

Three-quarters of people between 18-29 say vaccination should be required to return to campus or work, according to new Generation Lab/Axios polling, and 37% would refuse to come back unless those conditions are in place. Why it matters: Young workers have put pressure on CEOs to take action on social and political issues and have plenty of capital to exert it on reopening policy. The polling suggests that a “get the shot” ultimatum could be pretty effective. Among the young people polled who aren’t vaccinated, 66% said that if it was required to return to campus or work, they would get the vaccine.

How Food is Contaminated When the Environment is Not Protected

FunWritings

If more people were aware of the damage that is done to our bodies when the environment is not healthy I think they would be willing to change their ways

Since there are so many persons who don’t care about our wellbeing, involved in food production, we need to wake up if we want to see brighter days

There are those who don’t mind when their love for money ruin our health

They only live to advertise the things that will increase their wealth

The way our food is grown and processed is causing more problems in many ways

Having healthy food to eat, will help us to live better, healthy eating pays

If more people were aware of the difference it makes when food gets the right attention

There will be less problems with illnesses and less food waste for us to mention
