minimum inconvenience to the rest of the community
So we can all safely ignore the issue. I remember not long after I moved to Sydney the rail union was going to strike as the government wasn’t negotiating in good faith, but it was deemed “too damaging to the economy” so they weren’t permitted to. These restrictions just keep getting tighter and tighter.
On the topic of hand lotion, if you’re wondering what to buy, I can recommend CeraVe, their hand cream smells neutral and is the only one I’ve found that doesn’t leave my hands feeling greasy.
