Lol. I mean, I don't even wear a coat if it's at least 30 degrees out. And as soon as it hits 50, I'm back to wearing flip flops. So, it would probably have to be -20 for me to think about maybe possibly wearing a mask outside to keep my face warm. (Obv. I'm in the Midwest)
they pay for all their kids shit, phones, cars etc. they even pay 21k a year for their grandkid to go to a really nice expensive private school>
Well, that might be part of the problem...
Yeah, that statement goes both ways. I can't believe the number of young healthy people with no risk factors who have locked themselves in their houses and are afraid of the grocery store.
Why? Was he going to get covid and die before he died? I don't understand this business of not letting dying people see their families.
My first thought, lol
I'm Gen X and I had a hard time finding jobs in high school and college. The few that I did get taught me something though: that I needed to go to school or figure out what to do with my life because I definitely didn't want to end up as an incompetent 45-year-old manager at Burger King or JCPenney.
Lol. I heard a story today. A guy I work with owns several rental units. One of the tenants called him complaining the heat wasn't working. (It's roughly 0 degrees right now). He went to check it out, and turns out the guy had put duct tape over all of the vents for "privacy". Apparently not even enough brain power to put those two things together.
This is what drives me crazy. I see so many comments saying (mostly on reddit): "If you can't afford to pay employees a living wage, then you don't deserve to be in business".
Nobody starts a business with the goal of paying employees. (Some people claim they do, like wanting to "give back to the community" etc. But it's mostly BS) Businesses are started to make money. Hiring employees is a byproduct.
True. I used to work on a post-partum unit and so did my mom. Always a fun time when the mom and "dad" are both light-skinned redheads, and the baby has light skin but clear African-American features.... oops. Lol.
Straight to the recycle bin!
And for the record, I am def not the "Black History Program Coordinator", we don't have one, and our organization does not celebrate black history month (or any other months or secular holidays).
Back in the early 90s my dad worked for a large yellow and black company and there was a massive union strike that went on for months. My dad and the other office workers were pulled into the factories on a rotational basis to keep things running. The machine that he worked on had been set to the slowest possible speed by the previous (union) worker. Once my dad learned how to run it he was producing parts almost twice as fast.
The workers on strike would also write letters to the newspaper with these ridiculous claims. One guy said that [big evil company] had fired him for fixing a poster on a bulletin board that had fallen down. Another guy claimed he was fired for picking a tomato in his garden.
Needless to say, I don't exactly have a super positive view of unions....
As predicted.
Yep. I can't understand why people can't see that's what's going to happen.
Most of the older boomer types I know are aware this is all a lie. The younger Gen Xers that I went to college with are the ones spewing hate and falling all over themselves for Biden.
And on a side note - in my area, the Boomers are the ones who are coming to church in person, and the younger healthier Millennials/Xers are the ones hiding at home from the scary Covid and having groceries delivered.

I live in Illinois and they already started the gradual increase to $15.00/hr a year or two ago, which will effectively almost double the pay of the lowest-paid workers. It just went up to $11 on Jan 1, and will go up another dollar every year until it hits $15. There is a preschool/daycare where I work, and they sent out letters to the parents telling them tuition rates are going up because of the minimum wage increase. (and they will probably have to go up every year).
Of course, those of us making over $15 aren't going to see our pay go up the same amount. I only make a few dollars more, and didn't get a raise at all this year. None of us did.
I would love to see Trump hold an online rally during the inauguration. LOL
Every day.
I'm like, I'M DONE. Time to get on with my life.
10 minutes later. At computer. Press T. Hit enter...
Real or not, how are so many people on this board experts in Italian affidavits? And also, is it so unreasonable that there would be an English version for Americans to be able to read? I listened to the leaked phone call and the interview with Maria Zack. In the phone call (Jan 4 or so) she talked about (slowly) getting information out to the American public. And on her interview on the 6th she stated that the information had been delivered to several members of congress. (not that they'll do anything, but still...)
This is from that phone call that was leaked a few days ago - between Maria Zack and others. I listed to it, I’ll try to find a link.
Yeah, I feel like I’ve seen most of that in pieces, but word for word, on here.
Good thing they banned him from Pinterest. We’re finally safe from violence inciting craft projects and home decor.
I got those vibes watching the Rise of Skywalker. Small rag tag band of rebels taking on the empire. And the line at the end when all the ships showed up to help: “That’s not an army, it’s just ... people”
Can't take the sky from me.
