Should have tried claiming she was abducted by aliens and they got her pregnant by some Asian dude.
The key word is “within”. If something happens in two seconds, then it also happens within minutes, within hours, days, years etc.
I mean technically, but what I was picturing was a grisly, slow death.
as i understood it, those private audits are ON TOP of the ones done by labour inspection … kindalike an ISO9000 or other voluntary/non-obligatory compliance audit, like fair trade r whistleblowing policies, etc…
so its not an “either-or” situation but an “both… and…”
The thing is that government inspections generally don’t happen. There’s just not enough people to do them. As the article noted, it would take decades to visit each company under the aegis of the DOL just once at current staffing levels.
There’s now a multi-billion dollar business in providing independent audits to companies interested in having somebody say they’ve checked that box. It’s good PR and gives some legal cover (“our independent audit did not uncover any breach of regulations”). But in many if not most cases, they aren’t quite as ‘independent’ as all that.
There are always some decent people doing the right thing despite the perverse financial incentive to do the wrong thing. But the system is still fundamentally flawed.
It does sound flawed, but I already mentioned what she does for a living, and I had to defend her honor. I know she would not turn a blind eye to children working in a place she audited.
Thanks! I swear I searched for “evil” before posting.
Well, there is a shitload of evil here to get lost in.
Does anyone remember which show it was (Elementary, maybe? CSI?) where someone made a fake DNA sample that matched the required 13 alleles, but there was nothing else in it? No other DNA? A perfect fake, if you just trusted the base report.
That was Elementary. The episode involved inducing Hereditary CAA to rich people who did not have it in their families so that they would fund research into it.
Ah! “Possibility Two.” I need to rewatch it!
And, given the refent revelations about Diaper Don, we now know (volume-wise) exactly how much a shitload is.
10 metric shitloads = 1 fuckton
Cool. How much is 10 Imperial shitloads and/or 10 Freedom shitloads?
I’d guess that 10 Imperial shitloads = 1 long fuckton and 10 Freedom shitloads = 1 short fuckton, but I want to check
But you’d need a sample of the DNA that you are trying to fake in order to know how to fake it. Were they doing this to amplify the sample so they could plant it a lot of it in different places? That’s the only reason I could imagine to do this, rather than just plant the sample you have directly.
I’ll have to rewatch, but it made sense at the time.
It’s this episode. I vaguely remember watching it now. Synthesizing the 13 loci to frame someone doesn’t really make any sense, it’s a plot point supporting the idea that a uniquely talented geneticist is the criminal mastermind.
The show Instinct used it as well. They just called it ‘synthetic blood’, left at a crime scene to frame someone.
