The scanning would most certainly be destructive!

The best sci-fi versions I've heard of this where you don't die is where small parts of the brain are gradually replaced by electrical/mechanical equivalents, so eventually your whole brain is artificial and then you're functionally immortal; and your mind can just be removed and popped in a server rack or new body.

Employment is a voluntary arrangement

That's a very generous (or gaslighting) way of describing "employment at will" which is a fancy way of saying you have zero protections against abusive management, and can be fired for any reason or no reason at all. In a country where your job is tied heavily to your ability to access healthcare, this creates a huge amount of fear and precariousness for a lot of people.

Comment Re: But their quota on... (Score 1) 69

While I agree the UK has become a rich-cunt-captured shithole over the past 40 years, thanks to right-wing neoliberal crap (imported from the USA) your argument is a bit disingenuous by talking about "America at its best" and the UK as it is now. The UK at its best was building the NHS and millions of affordable houses whilst the US was segregating water fountains and buses--as just one example :)

America hasn't been at its best for longer than the UK, and is arguably descending into shithole-hood at a competitive rate to the UK.

I agree with this in theory, but our government is such a shit-show and either don't have a clue how to run the country or are doing all this damage to satisfy some even bigger cunts with a lot of money.

It's sad that this won't be the last such terrible law, it'll spread to the US and other places much like all the corrosive copyright stuff did at the turn of the millennium.
