Unions are trying to get rid of tiered wages. Doing the same job shouldn’t result in different pay. So you keep working there and get extra vacation time for your years of service to the company.

I also only go through about a bag of trash a week ehile my neighbors go through about 5 or 6 This us because i am a single guy who lives alone while they are a family of 4 with a large dog.

Sony and Universal own a pretty decent chunk of Spotify, so they have every incentive to force their artists to stay on the platform.

They led with an offer and asked if you would be willing to settle for less? I dont really understand what the strategy was there.

Labor only accounts for about 7% of the oricee if a car. Ford has made record profits the past 2 years, so theu could literally just eat the increae labor cost and still be making more in profit than any other point in the company’s history. Of coutse they wont do that because of greed, but there is no actual reason not to.

There is nothing that makes Texans harder than anything Californian coming to Texas. It validates the one way rivalry Texas has with California.

The customers haver marked them selfs as idiots and have a whole fleet of fske cruise lines trying to sell them more voyages. It’s the exact same as all the crypto scams of the past 10 years.

Cardinals are loyal. They don’t bail once the weather turns cold and ride the winter out like a true Midwesterner

“A month from now” means look at dates/times that work for you and get back to me. Telling someone “lets meet tomorrow afternoon” doesnt imply a specific time and more than “a month from now” implies a specific day. Your schedules are failing because you haven’t been following up so people think you aren’t interested.

Not for a supermassive black hole.

Even most artists offer them on their websites these days. Lady Gaga and Lana Del Rey offered them for their most recent releases,

If you are ready to uave your kind blown, that is only one nostril. The other nostril is located inside their skull and is how whales and dolphins vocalize and echolocate.

Well, i am a single guy living paycheck to paycheck, so buying bulk isn’t really an option. I have a local farmers market that i walk to regularly in the summer, but even that is only a marginal saving compared to the local grocery stores.

Even stir fry. A bag of frozen stir fry mix at Kroger costs $1.79 here. Just a single bell bepper costs 79¢.

We can also see a knot and understand that is how the rope is doing what we want. We cant see magnetic fields, nor can we even detect them directly with our senses aside from metal fillings around a magnet. If we could detect magnetic fields like some fish, we would probably find magnets much more intuitive.

Hate to break it to you, but you are also full of Teflon.

While people may not be willing to kill or rob someone to get a pack of smokes, there will absolutely be a black market for them that will be rife with unsavory characters that will. I live an hour away from a recreational marijuana state and it has destroyed the local black market for pot as anyone who wants to get high can just drive across the state line and get their own pot. No more sketchy drug dealers pushing other substances, no more police stings to catch teenagers buying dope.

Buying controlled and reasonably dangerous substances from licensed retailers like a dispensary, grocery store, or even a gas station is a lot safer for everyone than trying to keep tabs on a black market. The danger of prohibition wasn’t alcoholics trying to find their next drink, it was mobsters like Capone trying to dominate the black market for popular goods.

Edit since i misread what you meant: Sure tobacco is on it’s way out as is, but nicotine consumption is still skyrocketing. I dont see how banning tobacco sales for anyine born after a certain date like Sunak is proposing will help anything. People under 30 are already way less likely to smoke tobacco but consume unhealthy quantities of nicotine anyway.

Kids are already not allowed to smoke or purchase nicotine products but millions of teenagers are still addicted to nicotine and vape like crazy. How can you enforce a ban for an entire age group? And how could you possibly justify an arbitrary ban that allows half the population to purchase and consume something and prohibits the ither half? A law that bans women from purchasing tobacco because it is harmful for a fetus would be struck down by every court in the nation, so why would a ban that discriminates against adults based kn age be any different?

American prohibition and the war on drugs has shown that toal band like that really just make consumption worse while piling a whole new slew of problems onto an existing issue.

I send a check to my trash service because they want to charge a fee for me to pay online. That requires a stamp, and my mom sends me card a every few months despite us texting regularly.
