    Yes, they do. If you’ve ever worked a physical job, there are safety procedures and regulations enforced by OSHA and unions. If it’s 2 pounds over, you go get a second person for the lift because if you decide to break procedure and then injure yourself, you’re not covered by the union and/or workman’s comp insurance. In some places it’s an automatic firing if you break safety procedure, and any manager forcing people to break procedure will be in deep shit.

    Story time: I have a good friend who was a baggage handler and got stuck in a situation where their boss forced them to handle overweight baggage without a second person. She blew out her knee, has had multiple surguries, and has had to testify in court multiple times, including for a law suit that ended up giving her a sizable settlement check.

    I’ve been working on getting set up for music production on Linux, it is possible, but it has a lot more challenges. Manjaro Linux running the 6.13 RT kernel has worked well for stability with Bitwig Studio and Ardour, but the amount if plugins that are impossible or very difficult to install makes it feel limited.
