...white ones were separated out and sold to the baking industry instead. I would guess that in more recent times, changes in either the poultry industry or the baking industry have made the previous approach less practical.

Fwiw, the same hens lay both white and brown eggs.

I have noticed this, too. I could only hazard a guess why we're seeing more white eggs now, but I do know why up until now we've been more accustomed to brown. An old myth states that brown eggs are more flavoursome. They are not, but this myth made white eggs less popular, so over recent decades...

Jar Jar Binks as a character is allistic-coded, so you might want to tone down the loathing.

...what I'm saying from a broader critique of capitalism, alienation, ideology, wage labour, and so on, and that feels like too much of a can of worms at this very moment. I would repeat though that this is not a stance I expect anybody else to take on my guidance.

...about "extremely niche" stances. I haven't shown up in your timeline to tell you you're talking nonsense. I am undeterred from this perspective by any potential paradoxes about how stuff would get done or how we cannot make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. And I can't really separate...

I am not evangelical about my position. If you were to review the chats on here I have with people you won't find me telling anyone to quit their job - quite the opposite, I'd advise anyone to go for what is best for them. If you go back to the start of this, I was responding to a question...

Of course I understand the difference between a good and a bad boss and I've no reason not to think you're a good one. But you're telling me what seems natural, obvious and common sense to you. That's not the same as "what real life is like"

I think you've taken my remarks as a personal criticism of you.

I completely disagree with your use of the word "some"- there is no ethical way to be able to decide whether someone else gets to eat, and balance that with the requirements of the organisation. If you're elected to that position, then perhaps, but not because you're good at the recruitment process.

It's irrelevant anyway. There's no shortage of people who don't feel this way to fill all those positions.
