      Most companies should do daycares. It cost relatively little to have a daycare for your employees and the benefits for the employees is huge. Not only does it save the employee a ton of damn money because the cost of day cares are not exactly cheap, but it also saves them tons of time in their commute because they can just take their kid home with them instead of taking detour just to get their kid. Plus the kids feel more at ease knowing their parents are relatively close. Huge benefits just for the cost of paying for the salary of usually just one or two people.

      Ramirez is pretty poor quality especially for a Portuguese brand. Probably because they can frozen and defrosted fish rather than fresh, sameday. If you really want a supreme product get your hands on a can of Nuri.

    This company shows that they care for their workers and their families. I wish more companies can have in house daycare for their employees children's. Image how more productive the employees can be, instead of running late for work because they need to drop off their kids or request to leave early to pick up the kids from daycare, because once you don't pickup your child at a a specific time, the daycare charge you per minute, most daycare here in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦

      The more traditional way this is solved is having relatives watch kids, like grandparents and the like. This is more practical if you live more traditionally, with multiple generations living together, and you have grandparents that aren't still working because for some reason we've chosen to organize society in such a way.
      It's absolutely hilarious that, at the cost people estimate kids incur for their parents, almost no parents would be able to afford even one.

      The only country in the world with actual sustainable fisheries is Australia. Every one else just plunders the oceans. Fishing when something is at 10% or less of its original population like sardines or bluefin tuna is beyond asinine. Just look at the passenger pigeon, I bet no one thought they’d ever go extinct either.

    • @juanlamaquina1125
      @juanlamaquina1125 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Ngl, the fishing restrictions are kinda bulshit. They were actually imposed on us by the european union, not our government. The basis for the amount of fish a country can catch is the amount of people living in said country. Since Portugal has only a 10m population, we actually fish MUCH less than we could, since we also have a massive eez (20th largest in the world). Usually, spanish ships are caught on our eez fishing OUR fish and depleting our fish populations, since they can fish more than us because they have 5x our puppulation. Also, fisherman can't catch fish that doesn't meet certain size criteria, and usually dump these fish when they arive at shore, just so they don't get fined by the maritime police. This results in smaller fish getting dumped and not consumed.

    When i was a kid i remember seeing my grandfather with a can of sardines, he would crack open a can, empty the water out and put Italian salad dressing inside and eat it like that. I wanted to try it and it has been a guilty pleasure of mine ever since. My grandfather loved sardines even before WWII, During WWII he loved them even more and when he met my grandmother who was italian and she made salad dressing, as a joke she handed him a jar of the salad dressing and said Here put this in there at least it will smell good! He tried it and said Actually its even more tasty now I may have a second can! To which Opa told me that Mama responded by laughing then throwing her shoe at him LMAO!!!

      In 1937 the Portuguese Government bought a large quantity of Mauser K98 rifles from the German Government, to supplement their older 6,5 mm Mauser Vergueiro. They became the so-called Mauser 37A in the Portuguese Army. Part of the payment was made by the supplying of canned sardines for the _Wehrmacht_ and in tungsten ore, of which Portugal had large resources. They made artillery shells and armour piercing ammo with it. Being neutral, we sold it to everyone until 1943, when Allied pressure to stop selling to the Germans increased and Hitler had become a lesser threat.

      They did not go extinct. The Monterey sardine population was misunderstood. And they overfished them at a down cycle. That is very important, as the Monterey sardines are in a now understood cycle at about 20 years. Well a single bad year is a death sentence for a cannery, much less 20. There is a fantastic display at the Monterey Aquarium on the subject, and it does appear CA is now in a sardine growth cycle. By the way, often in a down cycle the sardines are still in the water, however they don't school. And if they don't school, there are none to be caught except for some bait fish.

    Interestingly, _Ramirez_ is a Spanish surname; the Portuguese equivalent ending with a S. Ramirez is actually more well known in Portugal for its canned Tuna; but their sardines in tomato sauce are great as well. I can attest, it was my own dinner yesterday with mashed potatoes and salad! 😀
    Now more seriously, the lack of fish is becoming very serious indeed. For centuries the Portuguese caught tonnes of sardines and Codfish. (the latter in Newfoundland) Nowadays we struggle to get any, and fish on sale are more and more from species no one used to care before, and of poor taste. Take a silver Swordfish, for example. They're all gone! 🙁 At the most you may find the black variety, once despised and now so expensive. So sad...
    Try some grilled sardines if you come up in Portugal in the Summer. They're great too, and dirt cheap! 😀 🇵🇹

      well that's not true at all. Can contain arsenic, mercury and PCBs. Sardines in particular also contain purines and highly increase the risk of kidney stones. You can get every single kind of vegetable canned... So sardines wouldn't even be in the top 95% of healthy canned foods. It's probably closer to to the health benefits of SPAM than it is to the likes of a can of chickpeas.

They are content to labor in a company that cares for them, and they don't feel like they are "owed" a higher wage nor do they resent the owners and bosses. American culture has sunk so far into the abyss that even workers at solid companies complain about their wages and resent the bosses for making more than they do. Kudos to this company for doing things right throughout the generations. May they continue to be productive for many more generations to come.
