Wow I would live to live there with such considerate people

bravo! (☆▽☆)

Not many people would sacrifice like that for other people, let alone a bird and her babies.

Everyone applauds when an animal gets saved, but then most people proceed in eating their bacon/burger/chicken. Love all animals <3

Just when you want to give up on people...

Should've kept the net in place afterwards, considering it's a major suicide hotspot.

The men saved by the net called themselves members of the “Halfway To Heaven Club”.

1500 people have died by suicide jumping off the bridge since then.

Shoulda kept it.

This is why, as much as many people hate it, OSHA is important

I'd be the idiot trying to rescue the fly...

Worked for a while until real flies started to fly around in the public bathrooms....

They have little bees in the urinals where I work

Says a lot about men.

This is not unique to this airport (we have the same thing at work) and relies on the nudge theory, which posits that positive reinforcement and indirect suggestions are an effective way to influence people's actions and decisions. One other example are messages of encouragement on the stair steps in subways stations (like "You can do it" or "Only 3 more steps") to motivate people to take the stairs rather than the escalator.

Sticking it to the man, but still supporting the people.

Wonderful. Here when they strike they leave you without transport, often not even covering the minimum and they are super rude to us.

Hehe, this REALLY hurt the company. They still had the costs of running the buses but with no income to cover it. But an excellent way for drivers not to have themselves demonised in the eyes of the customer..

Good for them, and that's also what a strike in public service should be. Just to remind the authorities in charge of it that the purpose of public service is not to make money (it just needs to be balanced between cost and profit for obvious management reasons) but to provide people with decent, equal and safe living conditions among the community. I you have some good reason to ring the alarm bell about your working environment, by maintaining the service without charging its users, not only your employer will promptly pay attention to what you have to say, but the public won't be pissed off and might actually support your claims. It's a win on all sides.
