While many took part in the nationwide spending spree, others highlighted the social and environmental costs of the mass consumption these dramatic sales encouraged. | Some took to social media to share their concerns; the GMB Union staged a protest outside Amazon's London HQ highlighting "dehumanising" working conditions at the company's warehouses. This year's Black Friday highlighted the extent of exploitative corporate behaviour. | Black Friday sale…

Facebook Is Still Facilitating the Dissemination of Deadly Disinformation
Staff | truthout.org | 2020-11-29

Differing Mask Mandates in Georgia Schools Put Teachers at Risk for COVID
Staff | truthout.org | 2020-11-27
Masks were optional, and about half of the children wore them. So did the receptionist, but only sporadically, according to several teachers. | Within a couple of days, the receptionist was out sick. Another receptionist called in sick as well. Both had caught the coronavirus, according to social media posts. In the ensuing weeks, a wave of cases would rush through the building — an outbreak for which district leaders blamed the community rather than the lack of a mask mandate in the schoo…
